The young Marauders and the Golden Trio
Chapter15: Regulus
~Sirius~
Trapped. I was. Trapped in my own cupboard. At the mercy of a house elf, (Well Hermione was) he will tell my parents we're here and god knows what they would do. Probably kill Remus, torture me and Hermione would be tortured and then killed...we had to get out of here.
I heard my parents climb up the stairs, had my eye to the keyhole with Remus and Hermione behind me, I could see my mother and father in their best clothes with pleased looking faces and following behind was Regulus looking like a prize idiot as always and behind were my cousins Bellatrix and Narcissa and their husbands Lucius Malfoy and Rodolphus Lestrange.
I could see them stroll towards our cupboard and we all held our breath but luckily they turned the corner and went towards the living room door and we breathed a sigh of relief. "That was close" sighed Remus "we have the two lamps so can we just go."
"Not yet" I replied "I want to know why my family look so happy" when Lestrange closed the door behind them I slowly opened the cupboard door and we tiptoed to the living room and we placed our ears to the thick wooden door we could only hear muttering from inside.
"It would be easier if we had the invisibility cloak," whispered Hermione.
"I have an idea" I whispered back and I quietly but quickly led the others to the third flight of stairs were the extra bedrooms were. I took them into the master bedroom , my parents room, and I say they have more room than they deserve, I bet me and all my cousins can sleep in here and fit all our stuff in the room. It was covered in black and grey striped wallpaper and dark wooden floor boards, which really looked like they need a brush, and old varnished furniture around the walls, which looked like it went back centuries especially the dressing table and the two wardrobes and the king sized bed which had slytherin green sheets on.
"Is there a reason you brought us here?" asked Hermione admiring the large room.
"Yes" I answered and I pulled out the Extendable Ear from my jeans pocket I got in a joke shop a few months ago. "You see" I said "this room is just above the living room, I do this all the time when I'm bored", there was a small hole in the floorboards which was big enough to fit the ear in so I carefully let the ear slide in the hole and we stated to hear voices at the other end.
"Really Regulus," said my mother she sounded confused and also a bit curious "are you sure you want to do this?"
"Please Mother we've been through this," my brother sighed ,"If the Dark Lord needs more death eaters I won't refuse his offer, he has chosen me."
'Oh dear' I thought, a million thoughts were rushing though my head. Why would Voldemort choose an idiot like my brother? He is only thirteen! Does he really want to do this? This couldn't be happening? Remus put a hand on my shoulder and kept it there, they stared to talk again.
"Of course he won't be able to join till he is sixteen" said Lestrange "but over all I think it's a good idea."
"Yes!" shouted my farther "fight for his right! Fight for his family! Fight for the right of purebloods!" everyone clapped, he sounded like an idiot.
"Well he has three years to decide" said my mother "so I won't get your hopes up."
"But Walburga..." said my confused father,
"I won't be proud until he has made his final decision Orion you know what young teenagers are like they always change their mind" argued my mother "he might want to do something else like be the heir of the house of black."
"Mother" sighed Regulus "that's Sirius' job even though he won't accept it but it would be nice."
"Well you can't have both sweethearts" said Bellatrix "if you get killed by the auror's before you have a son who will be the next heir of the house even though I'm proud you're willing to fight for the Dark Lord"
"But you know what will happen to this house if Sirius becomes in charge," said Malfoy "he will sell this precious house and all the belongings to some mudbloods and take the money and use it for god knows what."
"No!" said mother suddenly "we can't let Sirius Black be the heir of this house he would ruin everything! That's why I ask of you Regulus to think over it for a few more years do you understand?"
"Yes mother" he answered sounding disappointed. Regulus had some tough decisions to make, but to tell the truth for the first time in my life I actually agree with mother, It would be better if Regulus became the heir of Black house I didn't want the job anyway or the house or money and I can't imagine Regulus killing or even hurting anyone this was going insane, I had to get out of here.
"Sirius I think we should go," said Hermione "we have enough to deal with now,"
I suddenly remembered why we were here and I nodded and pulled the Extendable Ear out and lead the way down the stairs. Then when we were just about to go down the second flight of stairs Malfoy came out of the living room down, we stopped and so did he, his eyes filled with fury as he saw us and he shouted,
"You stop" he got out his wand and threw a curse which just missed my head,
"RUN!" I shouted and we bolted down the stairs and he chased after us, the others must of heard what was going on because suddenly I heard more people run down the stairs, but luckily my family was too used to have house elfs run around for them they were not to used to running themselves and the woman wore long old Victorian dresses so that didn't help them either and we were just outside the house running towards the motorbike moments before my family reached the front door. We climbed on the motorbike with no helmets on, we put the lamps and the book in the side car and sped across the road before they had a chance to hex us.
Again we stopped at a Mc Donald's but we only had a cold milkshake to cool us down, this time we were in the London high street with cars and muggle's hurrying around on business trips and hot girls doing their summer clothes shopping. There were more people around in this Mc Donalds than there were in Glasgow so we spoke in whispers.
"Hope Dementors don't come for us this time," mumbled Remus .
"I doubt it," said Hermione "we have too much to think, about we need to back to Scotland soon, the others will be wondering where we are."
"Yeah I can't believe it's only four o'clock," sighed Remus "and the moons storm will be in three hours."
"Oh the moons storm!" cried Hermione, a bit too loud "I forgot all about that!" lowing her voice she whispered "we have to warn the others and get you somewhere safe to transform."
"We really have to go now ," I muttered and got off my chair "we can talk about my brother and the Dementors and the mysterious Patronus raven another time, right now we have to tell the others what we found out, come on."
We ran out of Mc Donald's and jumped on the motorbike which was parked down the back of beer shop and we put on our helmets, little did we know it would be the last time with just us three for a very long time.
"Oh I just remembered," said Remus cheerfully "I just remembered one of the rules James' mother gave me."
"What!" Hermione and I said confused.
"Yeah" and he got the list out of his pocket, "rule one Don't eat fatty foods e.g Chips, McDonalds."
"Pratt" I muttered, and we set off into the warm summers air all the way to the cold winds of Scotland.
I thought it would useful to put the part when Regulus wants to be a death eater because I'm making a sequel (which I don't know the name of yet) and it has some Sirius and Regulus chapters, but the 1st chapter to the second fanfic to this will not be put on till the last chapter of this, and thats going to be a while.
Sorry
