The House of Stars

"I really mean it though. I'll never give up on my friends."

"Yeah... Me neither."

August 30th, 1975

"I'll open!" Perseus exclaimed and stormed towards the door. Cassandra slowly turned her head to face her first son. She let out a deep breath with disappointment. That kid was making her feel worse day after day. He didn't have relationships with the kids of the proud pure blood families, only with blood traitors and half-bloods and mudbloods. And despite their daughter not being much different she at least knew how to behave in front of them.

The boy with the light green hair opened the door with a smile on his face which widened even more seeing the visitors. The two Blacks were standing in the threshold of the house, the older one with a smirk on his face and the younger smiling kindly at the boy awaiting for his friend. Sirius highed five with Pers and then Cassandra approached them.

"Good morning boys. I was expecting you from the fireplace." She said putting a smile on her face. Pers stood behind her back mimicking her and her expressions since he could change his whole face and looking exactly like her.

Regulus remained serious and smiled. "Well, we came with broomsticks instead. No one saw us though-" he said giving a glance at Sirius who was trying his best not to burst into laughter with what Pers was doing.

"Yeah... We were really careful. Where's El?"

"Electra is in her room. Let's just say that she isn't allowed to exit for the next four days." She said rolling her eyes at the memory of what had her daughter done and this time it was Pers the one who laughed, earning a deadly look from his mother. "Orpheus will be home in a minute, he went to buy some paints. You can wait for him in his room though." She said kindly to Regulus who as it seems was everyone's favourite.

The boy nodded and extended his hand to give Cassandra a package probably sent from Walburga. The woman smiled but Pers grabbed the package. "I'll take that, thank you. Follow me boys!" He said and moved quickly towards the stairs missing a hit from his mother.

Sirius smiled at the sight and with two steps he was standing next to the tall boy with green hair waiting for Regulus. He approached them and started climbing up the stairs. "Where are your things? Didn't you brought any? You're supposed to spend here the rest of the holidays and then go to Hogwarts."

"But our sweet mother is coming here as well! Isn't that exiting?" Sirius said sarcastically and looked at his brother who just rolled his eyes sharing the feelings.

Perseus looked down at the two boys. "I want you to know, that Cassandra isn't any better... She almost shaved my head because she couldn't handle seeing my hair like that." He said and smiled at himself at the memory "And since we're talking about punishments, El isn't going to forgive me if I don't let you say hi to her first and then take you to my room."

He knocked the door which opened in fractions of a second and the girl with turquoise hair appeared in the threshold and fell onto Sirius hugging him. "I can't believe that you've finally arrived! My prayers have been answered! The torture is over!" She said dramatically and then pulled back and hugged Regulus who was smiling at her just like the other two boys.

"PERSEUS I TOLD YOU NOT TO LET ELECTRA EXIT HER ROOM" Cassandra's voice was heard from downstairs and the girl just winked at her brother giving him a high five and then sat herself for once more in her room.

The three boys entered Pers' room and they sat down. Pers lied on his bed looking at them. Sirius rested his back on the wall next to the window looking at their garden and Regulus sat on the chair after moving some discs and clothes and placing them onto the boy's desk. "So, what did she do this time?" Sirius asked referring to his friend who had just saw but had to be locked up in her room.
