Wherever Sirius ran, he ended up trapped in his mother's arms.
Once,
Father showed him a gnome's leg in a trap in the garden. He said the
creature had gnawed off its own limb to escape. Sirius could
sympathize. It was the same way he felt about 12 Grimmauld
Place.
-----
Regulus would pretend to run away, giggling,
and end up safely in his mother's arms.
Once, Father showed him the gnome-holes scattered throughout the garden. He said in times of danger, a gnome could pop into his hole and remain safe. That was how Regulus felt about 12 Grimmauld Place.
