The next morning at breakfast Sirius got another letter. He ripped it open and read it silently before getting up and leaving the Great Hall. James looked down the table to where Remus was sitting. Remus seemed not to have noticed but smiled to the other students nearest him before saying he was going to head to class early in hope of a better seat than his usual. Remus instead when to the Gryffindor common room where he found Sirius sitting rather close to the fire. He sat down next to him in silence and watched the fire snap and sizzle.
"It's from my mum." Sirius said about the crumpled piece of parchment in his clenched fist.
"I assumed from the reaction." Remus said softly.
"Would you like to read it?" Sirius asked.
"I think I would find it quite an amusing read." Remus nodded.
"Go on then." Sirius practically threw the ball of parchment at Remus before going to stand by the window moodily.
"To Sirius, I am ashamed to have to send yet another letter. You are honestly the worst child to have been born, bastard of a thing you were. You are a mark on the family, a mark I simply cannot seem to hex out of you. Your father and I are considering sending you to Durmstrang where they might have a better chance of turning a filthy mudblood lover like yourself into something respectable. You are a disgusting filth and shame the sacred name of Black. If you step out of line again you will be coming straight home where your punishment will be more severe than anything that filthy squib can fathom. Disgusting little monster that you are, try not to embarrass me anymore than you already have." Remus read aloud.
"Lovely isn't she?" Sirius laughed darkly.
"She seems delightful." Remus said smiling; glad everyone else was already at breakfast.
"That's one of her calmest letters. Father must have written is on her behalf." Sirius said.
"Wanna do something that will really shame the sacred name of Black?" Remus asked dropping the letter into the fire.
"I should just head to class." Sirius said.
"Where's the infamous bad boy Sirius Black?" Remus asked barring the other's path.
"Right there." Sirius said pointing to the quickly disintegrating letter as it curled beneath the heat.
"Does she really hex you?" Remus asked. Sirius shrugged. "Black, does she?"
"Yeah, so what? It's no big deal." Sirius snapped shoving Remus out of the way and storming down the stairs. Remus sighed and went to the infirmary.
