Ch. 2 The Other Blacks

Sirius got up the next morning to the sound of the scraping. He looked around to see Kreacher. Grunting he got out of bed. He hated getting up early. He remembered last year Remus and James had to practically pull him from his bed

"Mistress laid out young masters robes" The house elf grunted. Sirius didn't say anything and took the clothes and went to the bathroom. He hopped in the shower. After Sirius got his robes on, he eyed them critically. If his friends would see him, they would laugh themselves silly with how he looked. The only people that wore these kind of robes were rich pureblood. He hated wearing them.

"Aw the prince has arrived" Regulus said.

"Shut up Regulus" Sirius snapped.

"Sirius be nice to Regulus" His mother said. At six o'clock his cousins came. His Uncle and Aunt had three girls. The oldest was Bellatrix. Bellatrix was possible his least favorite. She was tall and thin, and had a main of charcoal black hair. Narcissa was a year younger then Bellatrix and had blond hair. Andromeda was the youngest, she was a almost clone of her sister Bellatrix but had a softer look to her.

"Hello Bellatrix, Narcissa, Andromeda" Walburga said kissing their cheek.

"It good of you to invite us Aunt Walburga" Bellatrix said politely.

"Hello Sirius" Andromeda said hugging him.

"It's good to see you Andy" Sirius said.

"You two talk like Muggles" Bellatrix said disgustingly.

"Were just saying hello, don't get your wand in a twist" Andromeda said annoyed. Sirius looked at his older cousin gave his other cousin a death glare. Sirius looked on in awe, he never saw Andromeda be outright rude to her sisters.

"So how is your husband, Lucius isn't it" Sirius mom said. This was the only part of the conversation Sirius heard. He was very bored, so bored that he picked on his food.

"SIRIUS" His father snapped.

"What" Sirius said coming out of his bored stupor.

"Don't pick at your food and sit up straight" He father said harshly. Sighing Sirius obeyed.

"Honestly boy gets sorted into Gryffindor acts like he has no home training" Bellatrix said rolling her eyes. This was too much for Sirius. He hated when she did this.

"First of all my name is Sirius, second what don't you shut you face" Sirius snapped. You could have heard a pin drop.
"Sirius Orion, go to your room now" Mrs. Black said quickly. Sirius could have sworn he saw a look of amusement on Andromeda's face.

"Fine, the food tasted like crap anyway" Sirius snapped. There were gasped.
"What is wrong with that boy" His father said. Sirius didn't listen to the rest, he was so annoyed. He made sure to make as much noise as possible. He had done nothing this summer but locked himself in his room. He was tired of his family not accepting him for who he was and was tired of hiding. Sirius was about to get started on his holiday work when he heard a knock at his door.

"You have guts, Sirius" Andromeda said.

"Sorry about that, I ruined dinner" Sirius apologized. He wasn't sure how she would react to him snapping at your sister.

"I was happy to hear you made Gryffindor, it's about time someone broke the mold" Andromeda said happily.

"Thank you" Sirius said confused.

"It gave me courage to do what I always wanted to do" Andromeda said quietly.
"What's that" Sirius asked.

"To do what you did, be different" Andromeda said.

"Andromeda what do you mean" Sirius asked.

"I've been seeing a Muggleborn" Andromeda said.

"Oh, do you think you'll get married" Sirius asked.

"I want to, he's amazing. He doesn't take any crap from me. I remember the one time I called him Mudblood, boy I would never make that mistake again" Andy said thoughtfully. Sirius saw something in his cousin, but didn't know what it was.

"You should marry him , if you feel like that" Sirius said.

"You're really smart for a 12 year old" Andromeda said smirking ruffling his hair

"Obviously, I'm in Gryffindor" Sirius said arrogantly.
"And always be proud of it" She smiled. She kissed him on his head.

"See you around sport" Andromeda said happily.

"See you Andy" Sirius said smiling. What was happening with Andromeda gave him hope that his parents could accept him for being who he was. Sirius suddenly realized something, maybe the problem was he wasn't clear who he was either.

Sirius spent the rest of his night reading. Remus Lupin would be proud. Sirius remembered plenty of times last year when the young werewolf cub would read really think books in a week. Remus lent Sirius a book called "Oliver Twist" which was what he was reading now. He was in the middle of reading when he heard taps on his window.

"Oh hey Artimis" Sirius said. Artimis as James's owl. Artimis flew in, dropping a brown letter on the ground. Sirius opened up the letter

Sirius,

We are coming home in a few days. Dad got down early. Mom is glad to be going home. Especially after what happened the other night. My mom found me lying on a dock by a lake. I don't usually sleep walk and I have been having such weird dreams lately. I'm at the dock, and then I jump in the lake. I walk up chocking for air. Well enough about me, can you come spend the rest of the summer with me? Let me know. I hope you can come.

-James

Sirius looked at the letter. The part about James sleep walking disturbed him. Sirius knew that James was trying not to sound like he was worried, but he clearly was. Sirius also knew that he might not be able to stay with his friend for the rest of the holiday. His parents believed that the Potters were a bunch of blood-traitors. His parents would never allow it. Sirius didn't care what his parents thought, he wanted to stay at be with his best mates. He wasn't going to let his parents ruin that. He just needed to find a way to convince them.

Next Chapter: Sirius plots to go to James's house. While shopping at Diagon Alley, he gets an unexpected, but very welcome surprise. He gets help in unexpected places.
