Regulus looked around cautiously at his surroundings. He was in a dark, pitch black cave that the walls seemed to tower over him. A cold breeze blew past him, ruffling his bangs into his dark green eyes. He brushed them irritatedly before looking ahead of him again. It was then he noticed something bizarre, the walls were getting taller! In fact...everything was getting taller and bigger! Regulus looked around scared before he caught a glimpse of himself in a puddle nearby. Nearly nine-year old Regulus had turned into a small four year old Regulus. The small boy started to sniff to himself, becoming really scared now. He started to shout for help.

"Mummy! Daddy! SIRI!" he yelled helplessly.

But he noticed from his yells the place started to shake as the ground rumbled dangerously. He glanced up in horror from his seat onto the floor as the rocks above him began to fall...

From under the covers, Regulus was bolted awake as he felt a heavy load drop onto him. It was heavy, nearly as heavy as Sirius when he tackled him but even heavier. Regulus began to squirm as he let out a shout of pain. The weight got off of him immediately and he heard a whimper. Regulus pulled his covers off to see two strangers near the foot of his bed, Regulus looked to see his door had been opened and now was opened a crack. He looked at the strangers in front of him. The strangers looked about Siri's age, although one was fatter than Regulus's brother. He had unkempt straw blond hair and watery blue eyes, ones that looked panicked as he stared at Regulus. Then the other one had blond hair two and had mild blue eyes and looked sickly. There were strangers in his room, two complete strangers. Regulus started to breathe harder and faster before it became panting. The boy before him became even more panicked as he saw how Regulus was reacting and even more so when he saw tears build up in the youngest Black's green eyes and the younger boy began to whimper. The sickly one stepped forward, making Regulus shrink back in fear.

"Shhh! It's okay! Don't be afraid!" the boy begged.

"Remus, do something! Tie him up!" the fat boy exclaimed shrilly.

"Peter!" the sick boy scolded.

That triggered a mechanism in Regulus and the words that came out of his mouth next came so naturally he didn't even think about it or how ridiculous it was.

"SIRI!!!!!!!!!" he bellowed loud that the two strangers clamped their hands over their ears and cringed at the deafening scream.

He began to panic when he heard footsteps clamber down the hall before the slightly closed door flew open to remarkably reveal a boy the same age as the two strangers who looked remarkably like Regulus. He had longish shaggy black hair and normally excited grey eyes that were now clouded with concern and protectiveness. He wore a red jumper and blue jeans.

Sirius Black.

"Reggie!" he shouted as he clambered up to his brother, who was still wailing, temporarily ignoring his friends.

At the sound of his nickname, Regulus opened his eyes to stop bawling. He looked up at his older brother who ran up to the side of his bed. He gripped Regulus' shoulder tightly.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" he asked worriedly but only got a frustrated glare in response.

"No! I am not okay!" he replied hotly as he shrugged his shoulder out of his brother's grip but soon settled with crossing his arms angrily as his brother ran his hand through his hair.

"What? What happened?" he asked. Regulus looked dumbfounded before he replied angrily again as he jumped down from his bed on his wood floor.

"What happened? What happened?! I'll tell you what happened! That-that...GUY...jumped on me!" he exclaimed pointing an accusing finger at the chubby kid who was now joined by one other stranger , thin like Sirius and who had black hair and glasses. Sirius turned to glare at the chubby kid.

"He jumped on you?" he asked not taking his eyes off the chubby kid who looked frightened now.

"Yeah, I was sleeping," Regulus replied calmer now. Sirius now rounded on the chubby kid.

"Pete, I thought I said when we arrived not to wake him up!" he shouted at the chubby kid, who apparently had the name Peter.

"But-but I didn't know this was his! I thought it was yours!" he defended.

"Mine?! Do I really look like the artist type to you?" he demanded as he gestured to the drawings on the door and walls.

"I d-dont know," he whimpered. Sirius sighed irritably before glancing back down at Regulus.

"Sorry he woke you Regulus," he murmured but Regulus took a step back confused.

Regulus? Since when was he Regulus? He had always been Reggie as far as he'd known just like Sirius had always been Siri. Regulus smiled brightly.

"That's okay! Just one quick question..." he trailed off to the strangers reaction. "Sirius" raised an eyebrow gesturing for him to continue. The smile abruptly slid off his face as he got a nervous look on his face.

"Who are you and what have you done with my brother?" he asked slightly scared. The four boys looked at him bewildered before Sirius shook his head to rid his head of something and grinned and ruffled Regulus' hair.

"You're such kidder!" he exclaimed but stopped when Regulus shook his head.

"No I'm serious."

"No...I'm Sirius!" Sirius let out a bark-like laugh as Regulus gave a bored look.

"Yup your Siri. No one else could come up with such a corny joke," he stated irritated as he began to descend out of his room, the boys laughter carrying with him down the hall.

He was about to head down the stairs when he felt someone lift him up by his waist and turned him around swiftly to face the three 11-year old boys. Sirius grinned at him and shook him abit to make him ease up.

"Mates, this is my younger brother Regulus," he stated what seemed to Regulus to be a proud tone but shook his head. Don't be ridiculous Reg. He stared helplessly as the three boys waved at him.

"Reg, this is James" he pointed to the one with glasses who grinned, "Remus," he gestured to the sick one who smiled shyly, "and Peter," he waved to the fat one who still looked scared after Regulus' outburst. He nodded confused. Who were these people? The one kid, James, ran up to Sirius and Regulus and gestured to the younger.

"Ah, isn't he so adorable? Can't I hold Reggie too?!" he went on in this baby voice. Regulus stiffened as he heard his nickname. He was mortified! No one could call him that but family and Alex and Simon. What had Sirius told these people?! He began to struggle in Sirius' arms wildly.

"Reg! What are you-" Sirius started but was cut off by Regulus' angry voice.

"Put me down!"

He was released as he fell on the floor but after years of roughhousing with his brother he quickly got back on his feet. He turned to Sirius as his face slightly irritated.

"What are you doing here? I though you were spending the holidays at Hogwarts?" he asked questionably and Sirius looked down briefly before looking up and grinning.

"I was but it was when I got you letter I decided to come back home, bringing my mates along for the ride," he grinned pointing at the marauders. Regulus looked at Sirius curiously.

"So you only came because of the letter Mum and I sent you?" he asked.

At Sirius' nod Regulus tried to hide his crestfallen face. So his brother only came home out of guilt? Pity? Probably the last one. Sirius was never sorry for anything he did. He barely heard Sirius address his mates.

"Well guys, now that you met the famed Reggie, lets head on down stairs," he exclaimed as the older boys trotted past Regulus down the stairs but not before a knock sounded on the door.

All boys looked up curiously. Who would come over at this time? Sirius was about to run down, followed by his mates but the house elf Kreacher beta him to the door. The house elf reached up and turned the knob and open the door to reveal two identical twin boys. Both boys had messy blond hair and grey blue eyes. One wore a blue cloak with a scarf and dark blue converse while the other was dressed in a lighter blue shirt with a black scarf. The first one was grinning widely as the other one looked up rather shyly. These were the Mitchell Twins.

"Ah young masters, do you request Young Master Black's presence?" Kreacher asked but cringed when Sirius' voice rang out.

"Kreacher you dolt! I don't know these kids!"

"Not you master, the younger master," came Kreacher's disdained voice. Sirius face went from irritated to surprise. He turned back to Regulus.

"Reggie...you know these people?" he asked surprised. Regulus didn't play with anyone beside him that he knew of.

"Yeah Siri, these are the Mitchell Twins. That one is Alex and the other is Simon. I met them in Diagon Alley, remember?" he said to Sirius who only shook his head.

"No I don't," he looked sternly as Regulus began to retort when Alex, the grinning twin interrupted.

"Hate to interrupt this love fest but c'mon Reg! We'll be late for school!" he exclaimed as he looked at the youngest Black.

"School?!" the older boys asked in unison in which Regulus yelled in alarm.

"Merlin, I forgot!" he rushed back to his room in his panic to change out of his and to grab his bag. The Marauder shrugged as Sirius laughed amused at his brother's behavior. The twins waited by the door as the Marauders stood near the entrance of the kitchen, waiting for their food to be ready. The twins looked curiously at the toaster, which was jiggling all strange.

"What's up with that?" they asked in unison to where the marauder grinned.

"It's a toaster Peter brought over from his house and we tampered with it a bit, putting magic into its system." they laughed to which Simon looked nervous.

"Is that really smart?" came a curious voice from the staircase.

The children turned to see an anxious looking Regulus who was hopping down the stairs trying to rush and put on one shoe while rushing down stairs. He reached the bottom one he stepped down as the shoe came back on and started to step forward clumsily, seeing as his shoes were still untied.

"Don't worry Reg, it works perfectly," came Sirius' voice but who's grin disappeared when a ring rang out and a piece of toast flew out of the entance and landed near Regulus' feet, where everyone began to laugh hysterically while Sirius' pouted.

"Right. Well put the settings on dark and I'll meet my breakfast at school," Regulus joked as he struggled to tie his shoes, but failing miserably at it.

"C'mon Reg, we gotta go," came Simon's worried voice.

"Merlin, Fine!" Regulus' voice came out frustrated as he made his way to the door but not before stepping on his shoelaces and falling to the floor hard.

The marauders began to laugh but Sirius who just sighed as he smiled exasperated at Regulus who just let out a quiet 'ow' and irritatedly blew black bangs out of his green eyes. Sirius came up to Regulus who managed to get up and bring his knees to his chest sadly. He crouched down and began to tie his shoes, ignoring his friends jests, particularly James' 'big brother Black' and went on to the other shoe.

"You should really learn to do this on your own," Sirius mumbled good naturely to which Regulus grinned weakly and quietly thanks his brother and reached for his satchel.

The three boys headed out the doorway and out into the snowy scene of London and made their way down the street for their school not noticing grey eyes following the middle figure, who stood at his place on the side of each twin, before getting a scowl as James continued his taunting of the older Black's attitude toward his brother and shut the door to rant at him.
