The Family (Part 1)

Regulus Black AU

Request: Can you write a story where Regulus and the reader have been best friends for years. After Hogwarts, they move to France and get married without telling The Blacks? After being away a few years, they come back and surprise everyone.

Parings: Regulus Black x Reader

___

“You know that my family isn’t friendly…right?”

You looked up from your dressing table. Regulus sat on the bed looking at you with a slightly worried look.

“Like I’m concerned. I can be unfriendly too. Let fire meet fire.”

You chose to ignore the little wince that your “husband” gave you. It was no secret that Regulus was worried about facing his parents after eloping. This was the most “un-Regulus” like thing that he had ever done in his life. Meeting the repercussions of his actions was now beginning to worry him.

It had been nearly three years since Regulus had seen or talked to his family. The two of you had been hiding out in France. After moving back to England, it was time to face the proverbial music.

“Y/n, I really don’t think that you know what you are getting into. My parents aren’t like your parents. Mine are deranged and…chaotic.”

You put your brush down before moving to settle yourself on Regulus’ lap. Reaching out you twirled your fingers around one of the curls that was about to fall into his eyes.

“Regulus, we have been best friends since we were 11. I know all about your family and their…ways. It's going to take a lot more than I am the almighty Walburga Black to scare me off. Granted, I do wish that I could have a mother-in-law to do fun things with but, hey, you get what you get. You, my love, are worth whatever those nutcases have to throw at me.”

You were relieved when Regulus smiled. It wasn’t often that a smile graced his face but when it did, your heart melted.

“Maybe, if I’m l lucky, mother will fall over dead from a heart attack and the rest of the family will just spontaneously combust.”

Regulus commented with a smile. He knew what he was getting into. Regulus knew that his family was about to have a fit when he brought his new “wife” home. He knew that evening’s dinner was bound to be a fiasco. You were the absolute last person that Walburga wanted Regulus to marry. She hated the fact that the two of you were best friends. The literal only reason why she finally shut up about it was the fact that you were a Slytherin and a pure blood.

“If you must be friends with that girl, fine. It isn’t like you are going to marry her one day.”

Regulus had never forgotten that comment from Walburga. He had been 13 at the time and told his mother that you were his friend. He had no intention of stopping being your friend. It didn’t matter how angry it made his mother. Regulus had banked on his “being his mother’s favorite” card to keep her from beating the stuffing out of him after that comment.

To Regulus’ relief, Walburga stomped off muttering to herself about wondering why her sons were so obsessed with the Potter children. She just couldn’t understand what was so fascinating that Regulus and Sirius couldn’t say no to. At the moment, that was enough for Regulus.

Now, however, things were different. Regulus had fallen in love with you. After a completely “innocent” kiss at 15, he was hooked. There would be hope in Regulus ever wanting to stay away. He couldn’t…not even if he tried.

The following years were full of Regulus keeping you away from any member of his family. No matter how many times you told him that you were ready to officially meet them and rip the “bandage” off, Regulus always said no.

“Reggie, I hate to break it to you but no one will be dropping dead of any heart attacks. Besides, your mother should expect something. We are always together. One would think that with as smart as she “claims to be”, she would have figured out that we have been together since 5th year. Like it or not, she will just have to get over it.”

“I hate knowing that I am taking you into that lion’s den.”

Leaning forward, you placed a soft kiss on Regulus’ lips. You hoped that some kind of physical contact would calm down his raging mind.

“Regulus, I want you to hear me. It will take a lot more than your family to scare me off. I knew what I was getting into when I said, I do. I know your parents aren’t like my parents. They will just have to accept that we are in love. If they can’t…then that is on them. That won’t be our problem.”

“But we have two things that will be their problem.”

Regulus commented as his grey eyes flickered to the corner of the room where your twin daughters sat playing. Both girls were not the least bit interested in the conversation that their parents were having. You looked at your daughters sympathetically before turning back to Regulus. He didn’t have to say it for you to know this was the other source of his panic.

“Maybe knowledge that they are suddenly grandparents will take them out.”

You suggested with a smile. Regulus couldn’t help but smile as you got off of his lap.

“I have to keep them safe from mum and dad. I don’t want them pushing their ideals on Matilda and Rose.”

Both girls looked up and gave Regulus matching little smirks before going back to their toys.

“Regulus, I have known you for a long time. I know that you won’t let them hurt the girls.”

Regulus was quiet a moment as he watched Matilda and Rose play. He coudln’t help but wonder why his own father wanted absolutely nothing to do with him until he had gotten older. Regulus wanted nothing more than to be a part of whatever it was his daughters were doing.

“What if being around them makes me act like…him?”

Regulus questioned. You moved to stand beside your husband. Reaching down, you wrapped your hand around his and squeezed gently.

“The fact that you are even worrying about it tells me that won’t happen. If it were your father, he would never even have that thought. He would just be uncaring and believe that children are to be seen and not heard.”

Before Regulus could comment, the doorbell rang.

“That will be your brother.”

Both twins' heads popped up as they stood up to toddle out of the room shrieking Sirius’ name.

You moved to walk out of the bedroom to answer the door but stopped to look back at Regulus.

“I mean it, love, you are nothing like your father and you won’t become him. Now let's get this exciting evening over so we can have something to laugh about later.”

Walking downstairs, you smiled seeing Sirius holding both Matilda and Rose. Both twins were trying to look through his shirt pocket for the lollipops that he always brought them.

“Mine!”

Matilda shrieked before taking the lollipop out of Rose’s hand. This resulted in Rose screaming “mine” right back at her sister. Sirius looked between both toddlers and sat them down. He handed each girl a lollipop before shaking his head.

“You both get one. No need for the yelling.”

“Thank you”

Matilda muttered before going to sit down at the little table in the corner. Rose patted Sirius’ leg and went to join her sister as Sirius started trying to wipe some sticky substance off of his face.

“I don’t want to know what that is.”

He commented as you handed him a wet cloth. Chuckling Sirius cleaned the gooey spot off before giving you a smirk.

“I never thought in a million years that my neat-as-a-pin brother would be open to being a father. I thought he would barf the moment that a kid drooled on him. So…are you two really going to subject yourself to a delightful dinner from hell with Norma and Norman Bates?”

You nodded.

“Its best we get this over with. The quicker we totally rock their words the faster it will be over>”

Sirius winced.

“I don’t think it will be that easy, love. So, how is Regulus handling it?”

“Like I’m about to fall through thin ice on a pond.”

Regulus commented as he walked into the room pulling on his suit jacket. Sirius turned to face his brother and gave him a sympathetic expression.

“Maybe she will have a heart attack? I mean telling her that you married Y/n and that you have kids will be a huge shock. What if she just kills over at the dinner table? Are you just going to leave her or will you call for help? Reg, what if dad kills over too? Wouldn’t that be great?!”

Regulus only wished that he could have Sirius’ level of enthusiasm at the moment.

“I’m not that lucky, Sirius. Look, the twins go to bed at 8. Try not to hype them up on sugar this time. The last time we didn’t get them to sleep until after 11.”

Sirius gave Regulus a cold scowl.

“Look last time, they asked for ice cream. Try saying no to those little faces.”

As if on command both Matilda and Rose gave Regulus their signature “I’m cute” face.

“Love you daddy.”

Matilda muttered. Rose nodded eagerly but didn’t give up a moment with her candy. Regulus shook his head.

“Love you too, princess.”

He turned back to Sirius discreetly giving him the middle finger.

“And you’re teaching them to suck up knowing very well that I can’ say no to them.”

Sirius chuckled to himself before moving to sit on the couch.

“Well, you’ll be okay.”

Glazing down at your watch, you turned to Regulus.

“We better get going if we want to make our appearance as planned.”

Regulus groaned.

“Damn.”

The two of you moved to kiss your daughters goodbye. Sirius gave you both a final look.

“If you need me, I’ll be there in a jiffy.”

“I’ll remember that. You should pray that I don’t kill her.”

Regulus replied before following you out the door.

A moment later, you stood beside Regulus outside of Grimmauld Place. Neither of you moved to knock on the door. After a moment, you turned to look at Regulus. His handsome features were set into a hard scowl.

“Reggie, remember what I said. You aren’t your father and are nothing like your family.”

Regulus nodded. Hearing those words come from your mouth always seemed to make him feel better. Right now, it was especially helpful because he felt as if he was throwing his family into the lion's den.

“We should get this over with.”

Regulus commented before knocking on the door.

A moment later, Kreacher opened the door. The elf’s eyes got huge seeing the one person that he loved most in the world.

“Master Regulus, you finally came home. Kreacher is delighted to see you.”

Kreacher turned his attention to you and frowned. He knew exactly who you were after hearing Walburga fuss about you for many hours. Regulus had followed Kreacher’s gaze and took a breath.

“Kreacher, this is my Y/n. I want you to treat her with respect.”

The elf didn’t look thrilled by the comment. He held back the vile comment that he wanted to make about the Potters being blood traitors. If there was one thing that Kreacher wouldn’t do, it was upset Regulus.

“Yes, Master Regulus. Please follow Kreacher. Dinner has just been served.”

Regulus tightened his hold on your hand as the two of you stepped into the house.

You had never been inside Grimmauld Place before. After stepping in the door it was as dark and gloomy as you expected. Nothing about this place screamed warm and welcoming.

“This makes me love my family all the more.”

You thought as you followed Regulus and Kreacher down the dark and gloomy hallway. At least, with your family, the home was always warm and welcoming. No one had to worry about being hexed over the dinner table.

Your thoughts stopped the moment that you stepped into the dining room. Just as you expected, the room grew silent. Multiple sets of cold eyes were initially upon you. You squeezed Regulus’ hand as Walburga stood up looking furious.

“Regulus, why is that girl here?”

Regulus took a breath. He didn’t expect much of a greeting from his mother.

“Hello, mother.”

He glanced to where his father sat. Orion was watching him with a hawk-like expression while his grandmother and grandfather took sips of their wine. Cygnus and Druella both were giving each other hesitant expressions as if to say “here we go.”

“I asked you a question, Regulus. It's been three years since we have seen you and you come home with this girl.”

Regulus swallowed, suddenly remembering just who the hell he was. If his mother wanted to play hardball then so could he.

“Yes, Mother it has been three years. Furthermore, this girl has a name, and its Y/n. I expect respect for my wife.”

Both Walburga and Orion went pale. Cygnus and Druella’s mouths dropped while Arcturus and Melania tilted their heads.

“Silly of me, but did you say wife?”

Walburga finally choked out.

“Yeah, he said wife. My name is Y/n. Just so you know, Walburga, I match people’s energy. You be nice to me and I’ll be nice to you. If you want to start shit, you better be ready to dance. That goes for all of you lovely people. Now, we are here in goodwill. We aren’t here for this to turn into some muggle soap opera-level crap.”

You watched as Walburga quickly began to stutter. She clearly did not expect that to come out of your mouth. Orion, meanwhile, was looking at you with a look of amazement.

“You wanted to see us. We are here but play your cards carefully. Remember that I’m the heir to this family.”

Regulus added in a calm even tone. Walburga continued to blink before turning to Orion. Orion gave his wife a cold glare before turning back to his son.

“I see that you couldn’t be bothered to tell us about any of this.”

Regulus smirked.

“Sorry, Father but we have been rather busy in France. There is more you should know. We have twin daughters. If you have any interest in seeing them, the lot of you will agree to my terms.”

Walburga sank back in her chair before grabbing Orion’s arm.

“They have children. Oh heaven help me, they have children.”

Orion didn’t say anything immediately as he glanced at his wife. He knew Walburga would kill him later but he had a feeling that she would do exactly as her son asked. In private, Walburga had been a wreck since Regulus moved away. There had been multiple times that she had shed tears over the subject. Of course, Orion would never tell Regulus this.

“Yes, we have children.”

You replied. Melania turned to her grandson with a gentle expression. Regulus had always been her favorite. Now seeing him as a husband and father made her extremely pleased. While she still could see the darling little boy that Regulus was, it was clearly time to see him as the man that he had become.

“You didn’t bring them with you, Regulus.”

Regulus’ cold expression softened as he addressed his grandmother.

“No, grandmother. I didn’t with reason. Our family has a talent for losing our tempers and acting out of places of anger. My daughters don’t need to be exposed to that. Before any of you lay eyes upon them, you’ll listen to what I have to say and agree to my terms.”

Orion leaned back in his chair with a scowl.

“We’re listening.”

I JUST HAD TO WRITE THIS B4 I FORGET ABT IT BUT

Harry coming home late and trying to sneak inside the house but right as he opens the door he finds his husband with his children standing in front of the door and looking at him with a pout on their lips, arms crossed and one leg tapping impatiently on the floor.

The worst part is, his oldest, scorpius is holding a microphone and yells

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOUNG MAN. DO U HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TIME IT IS RIGHT NOW??"

"WE'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK" says his second child, lily. and his youngest, jamie, is just punching on his leg with his little balled up baby hands, barely feeling it.

And his husband, damm that man for letting them do this...is just trying his damn hardest to hold in his laughter in the corner

In the end, Harry can be seen with red cheeks with his hands trying to cover up his face,and an embarrassed grin sneaking its way in, while his family, --he'll never be tired of saying that-- are laughing their ass off, stomach and cheeks hurting from the laughter that seems to force its way out

He'll have to apologise to his neighbors tomorrow morning

#harry potter #draco malfoy #lily potter #sorpius potter #jamie is short for james #idk how that works but it does #the potter family #HIS BABIES ARE SO PRECIOUS TO HIM #neighbours are laughing their ass off rn #draco still reminds him abt this #from time to time #drarry

i think james wasn't really a 'mum' friend until his parents died. like part of his grieving becomes a need to look after and protect his loved ones that are still around, and in a way remembering his parents by trying to act more like them? like he so firmly believes they were such good people and benefitted the world so much, that the world can't go on without them. but it has to, so he tries to become like them both for the people around him. his mum would make food for the people she loved, and so james starts doing that- in the kitchen every day for hours. his dad would make sure james had everything he needed/might need on him so james starts doing that for his friends- putting some emergency money in their bags or coatpockets. his mum would send him letters just to say she loves him- james starts doing that to all his friends that he can get ahold of. his dad would work out all james' paperwork/legal documents so james starts doing that for his friends.

James believed his family was invincible.

James was distraught when Euphemia and Fleamont died in 1980. He was prepared for an entire lifetime of grief and missing them.

Euphemia and fleamont broke down when their son joined them in heaven in 1981.

James potter couldn’t survive earth or heaven without his mum and dad.

James was entirely unprepared for the knowledge that it was his own son HARRY who was going to live an entire long lifetime grieving his parents.

James biggest fear (his parents dying) suddenly became his biggest wish: to switch places and experience his sons pain forever, to give harry the happy childhood he’d had himself.

Bad Ideas (Part 12)

Regulus Black au

Summary: It started as nothing now it’s something. Voldemort has been defeated but that doesn’t mean the wizarding world is still a good place to be.

Link to Part 11

Pairings: Regulus Black x Reader

Rating : M-light smut

____

The next morning, you lay silently beside Regulus. You weren’t looking forward to going out with Lily. The prospect of "girl talk" and possibly seeing Lily cry made you cringe. You had never been one that was great with emotion. Something about seeing Lily, of all people, cry was not the least bit appealing.

Part of you felt incredibly bad about not wanting to get closer to your parents. After all, they did not plan on getting murdered and leaving you alone.

“In what universe would someone want that?”

You thought. Lily was attempting to get to know you. You had to give her some brownie points for that. If she didn’t care or didn’t want to make some form of effort, she would have never asked you out to breakfast.

James, however, was still a mystery to you. It felt you made him as uncomfortable as you felt Maybe he just didn’t know what to say? Maybe he doesn’t know to properly relate to women? There were many questions that you couldn’t quite answer.

“Maybe I am being too hard on them?”

The other part of your brain, the negative side, still hadn’t exactly gotten over how James and Lily seemed to immediately accept Harry and whatever was happening in your life while you didn’t get the same grace. Instead of getting to properly know you, they jumped on the first bad thing that they could find…your relationship.

“Regulus isn’t bad. They haven’t bothered or cared to see how good he is to me."

Glancing toward Regulus, you couldn’t help but smile. He had been nothing but good to you. His comment of““With me, Y/n gets to come first. She had always come second to Harry and for once she gets to come first. That’s what makes me good for her” would always be the reminder that he was in your corner.

“You’re watching me again.”

Regulus’ sleepy voice pulled you from your thoughts. Reaching over, you gently pushed a stray strand of hair out of his eyes.

“Yeah, well, get over it. You’re nice to look at.”

Regulus chuckled before wiggling his way on top of you. He held your hands over your head before leaning down to kiss you. Regulus wasn’t a fool. He knew exactly what you were silently brooding about. He could see it any time a frown crossed your pretty face.

If it were up to Regulus the two of you would simply leave and make a life someplace else. The two of you didn’t need anyone now that the war was over. It could be just the two of you and nothing bad would happen. No longer did you have to look over your shoulder.

“It could be just the two of us…in some little village where no one knows us. We could have a quiet blissfully boring life.”

Regulus knew that it was a pipe dream though. You would never leave your brother or friends. If you were ever to cultivate some kind of relationship with your parents then you definitely wouldn’t leave. Regardless of the situation, Regulus could make whatever outcome work. All that he needed was you. That was enough.

You gently nibbling on his bottom lip, pulled Regulus from his thoughts.

“You and your smart mouth.”

He murmured against your lips. You quietly enjoyed the next few moments of quiet kissing. Reaching up, you gently tugged on Regulus’ hair earning a soft sigh from your lover.

“Yeah, and you love my smart mouth.”

Regulus chuckled. He did, in fact, love your smart mouth. He didn't have to worry about someone being mean to you or talking to you badly. You could handle yourself. That didn't mean that Regulus wasn't more than happy to shut some idiot up when he had to. If someone looking at you funny, Regulus was more than happy to take whoever it was out.

“Yeah, I do. I should put that smart mouth to work by screaming my name.”

Biting your lip, you fought the urge to moan when Regulus rocked his hips into yours. You were already dying to have him inside of you.

“Maybe you should? After all, you did want to make everyone downstairs feel uncomfortable?”

Regulus reached beneath your bodies to ease your legs apart. As much as Regulus wanted to spend the next hour or two between your legs taking his time licking until you were shaking; he also knew that he didn’t have the time. Knowing his luck, Lily would be knocking on the door wanting to go out for tea.

“We have forever to do that. We have enough time for a quickie to hold us over for later.”

(meanwhile)

James was sitting at the table with Lily had Harry. The three had breakfast and were enjoying catching up. James had wished that you had made an appearance to join them but didn’t.

“She worked a late shift last night. She’s probably still asleep.”

Harry suggested, hoping to make James feel better. While Harry understood everyone’s side of this awkwardly painful equation, his main goal was to keep the peace between everyone.

“Yeah, she’s probably asleep.”

James murmured. Lily raised an eyebrow as she took a sip of her tea.

“Maybe you should do something special with her? Like I’m going out for tea with her later. She didn’t say no when I asked her. Granted, she didn’t seem super excited either.”

James rolled his eyes.

“That’s probably Regulus rubbing off on her. He shows as much emotion as a piece of driftwood.”

Harry blinked a few times.

“I don’t think it's anything related to Regulus, Dad. She has to be serious with her job too.”

“Well. I don’t know…”

James commented as your cell phone that had been lying on the table began ringing.

“Is that her muggle telephone thing?”

James questioned. Harry nodded, not thinking much of it. He was used to that phone going off at random times. The best Harry could assume was someone at the hospital was looking for something.

“Do you think we should go wake her?”

Lily questioned. James stood up and tentatively walked over to the phone and picked it up.

“I’ll just tell them that she’s sleeping.”

Lily didn’t think much of it and went back to her tea while Harry pushed his own teacup away.

James meanwhile, answered the phone with a curious hello only to be met by a female voice on the other end.

“Hello, is this Dr. Black?”

A frown automatically appeared on James’ face.

Dr. Black?

“Um…who?”

He questioned. Lily and Harry turned to watch him out of curiosity as the woman on the other end began speaking again.

“Dr. Y/n Black. I need to speak with Dr. Y/n Black.”

James muttered hold on as the confusion began to build. Why were you using Regulus’ name? The realization hit James like a rock to the stomach. You had married him! You had married Regulus and didn’t tell anyone!

“She will have to call you back!”

James hung the phone up before turning to Harry looking livid.

“Go get your sister.”

Harry, confused, quietly got up and did as he was told. On his way out of the room, Sirius came in with Remus behind him. It didn’t take both men being pals with James as long as they had been to know that he was seething over something.

“Love, what’s wrong?”

Lily asked. James shook his head.

“You’ll see.”

James grumbled as Remus gave Sirius a shrug.

A few moments later, you came downstairs with Regulus and Harry following you. Regulus looked highly annoyed. You, meanwhile, gave your parents a raised eyebrow.

“You called? We were in the middle of something.”

James gritted his teeth fighting the urge to throw the nearest heaviest object at Regulus’ head.

“What’s new Dr. Black? Care to explain?”

The whole room went silent. Lily blinked a few times while Regulus muttered “Here we go” and sat down as if this was just some normal family spat.

You stood with your arms crossed over your chest. Your secret was out and it wasn’t the way that you planned on telling anyone about your secret. Instead of panicking, you decided to play it cool.

“Nothing. I was sleeping.”

You replied innocently. James took a few deep breaths.

“No, you were under him. We could all hear you. We didn’t want to hear you. Why are you using his name?”

You raised an eyebrow before glancing at Regulus. His grey eyes watched your face carefully. He gave you a small nod as if saying “time to spill the beans.”

“One typically takes their husband’s last name.”

With that one sentence, you silenced the room. Had the situation not been so chaotically awkward, you may have found this whole thing funny. Lily sat with her eyes wide while Harry just stared at you in disbelief. Both Remus and Sirius had gone pale while James was turning red.

“Silly of me but did you say, husband?”

“She said husband and didn’t stutter.”

Regulus commented coldly. James glared at the other man.

“You married her? Y/n, tell me that he is high off something and you didn’t just throw your life away for some…”

“Watch your tone.”

Regulus cut in, his eyes were dead set on James. If the Potter brat wanted to fight then Regulus had no problem in taking him out.

Sirius muttered what sounded like “fuck my life” under his breath before getting up and moving over to the window. He opened the window and took a breath of fresh air.

“Well, this isn’t where I parked my car.”

Sirius rather dramatically turned and jumped out of the first-floor window. James watched his best friend with an exasperated expression.

“So, is anyone going to talk about how he just tossed himself out of the window?”

Harry commented. Regulus sighed.

“There’s a bush out there. That is the way of getting out of awkward conversations. He’s done that since he was a kid. Now back to the subject at hand…yes James. She married me.”

James took a few deep breaths.

“Why would you do that, Y/n?”

“Maybe because I love him. Have you considered that? Why did you marry Lily? Why do people do anything that they do? It's for a reason. We didn’t tell anyone because it was during the war. We didn’t know if either one of us was going to survive. It isn’t anyone’s place to tell me what I can and can’t do. Our decision to get married wasn’t anyone’s business.”

Lily had quietly started to cry from her place at the table.

“You’re making your mother cry.”

James commented. You held a hand up.

“You’re acting like a lunatic but I’m not pointing that out. I’m sorry to upset either of you but it was my choice…a choice that I don’t regret. I am Regulus’ wife and that’s how it's going to be.”

A Little Much Too Much

Sirius is overwhelmed (this is from a headcannon I posted a few weeks back).

warning: blood, overwhelming noises that lead to a breakdown, alluding to Walburga’s A+ parenting, panic attack. Take care of yourself please <3

Sirius woke up to the sound of the door opening and slamming shut. He was instantly transported back to Grimmauld’s place.

His breath caught in his throat. He made his way downstairs as quick as he could to avoid getting yelled at by Walburga for sleeping in late. He knew he wasn’t supposed to but he was having the best dream and he never wanted to wake up. He knew that she would be mad if he slept in. He knew that they had a charity gala to go to and that he was to be ready when she got back. He knew all of these things and yet he still decided to sleep in. He knew he was going to get in trouble.

He walked out to the foyer and his brain finally caught up to him and realized that he was not at Grimmauld’s place at all. He was at the Potter’s house.

“You’re safe.” He thought to himself.

“You’re safe. You’re safe. You’re safe.” He kept repeating it inside his head, even saying them under his breath but his body wasn’t responding. Fleamont and James were laughing loudly, while Euphemia was raising her voice so that she could be heard over their boisterous voices. Their words were swimming in his head and he kept trying to tell himself that he was safe but his head kept coming back to the slamming of the door, and the raised voices, and what came after. He was suddenly angry and terrified and feeling too much. He was scratching at his skin, trying to relieve some of the feeling he was feeling but nothing was working. He walked into the kitchen and saw the broomstick that James and him were going to fly on later. He went right up to it and snapped in half and oh? Oh! That was it. All of the noises were swirling in his brain. He still couldn’t hear anything past the raised voices and the slamming of doors and Walburga’s scream shouts and the swishing of a wand and the pain that was supposed to come next that didn’t come.

He went further into the kitchen and picked up a potted plant. He threw it to the ground, shattering it, making the pieces of the clay pot spill everywhere. He went over to the glass jar that held Euphemia’s famous snickerdoodles. He picked it up and threw it on the ground, accidentally getting glass stuck in his foot. And there it was. The feeling he needed. The pain that was supposed to follow all the yelling, and the slamming doors, and Sirius sleeping in.

He slid down onto the floor, taking hold of his food and trying to breathe properly. He tried taking a deep breath but it kept catching in his lungs and not providing enough oxygen. There was only the pain of not having enough air in his lungs and the blood that was pouring out of his cut foot, and yet all he could think about was the yelling and the doors and the swishing of a wand.

Suddenly, there was a hand on his shoulder and a finger on his chin, tilting it up to meet the twin grey eyes of his brother. His brother.

“Regulus.” breathed Sirius He was properly sobbing now so his voice didn’t reach any louder than a whisper.

“Shh, it’s okay. Breathe with me, alright? Follow me.” Regulus took Sirius’s hand in his and placed it over his heart. Sirius felt his brother’s heartbeat under his hand. Regulus took a deep breath in and out and Sirius tried following as best as his frantically beating heart allowed. They did this until Sirius was finally able to do it successfully three full times. He immediately pulled Regulus into a hug.

“I-I- the plant, and the cookies, and the broom. Oh. I-I-I didn’t mean to. I didn’t mean to.” Sirius was frantically whispering, scared of the retribution he was going to get from ruining the Potter’s kitchen.

“Shh, shh,” Regulus whispered into his hair, “You’re safe. You are okay. Nobody is mad; they just wanted to make sure you were safe.” All Sirius could do was nod his head and clutch tighter on to Regulus. He was safe.

He was safe.
