Once Neville left Regulus sat next to me and kissed my cheek, pulling me against his side. "You remember how-" I began to speak but was quickly cut off by Grace running in. "Hello, pretty girl!" Regulus cheered standing up to pick her up. "Merlin! She runs so fast!" Fred exclaims walking in with George, Oliver and Lee. Behind them is Ginny and Hermione. Finally Draco, Ron and Harry make their way in. "I did not know I have this many kids!" I laughed, kissing each of their heads. I noticed Grace to be a bit quieter than normal. I hugged Grace close to me, "Tell me what's wrong later, and I already know something is wrong so don't lie." I whispered, she groaned but nodded.

"I heard, Vi has stories of their younger years!" Lee announces making everyone cuddle into each other waiting for me. I laughed before Regulus placed me on his lap, "Before we start what were you saying earlier, love?" He asked, kissing my cheek. "Oh! Um, remember how at your family winter ball, you told me you promised to keep me safe?" I spoke slowly playing with my fingers. "I do, why?" He asked, grabbing my hands. "Well, funny story. I actually promised Sirius I would keep you safe before we met." I muttered, smiling up at him shyly. "OHHHH! That sounds like a good story!" George shouted. "Do tell, Violet!" Fred added, Regulus noticed Grace cuddled up to Fred, the same way me and him are. I whispered in Regulus' ear if it was okay to mention his past. He nodded and kissed my lips, I let out a deep breath before turning to face the eager Gryffindors.

I was sitting up in my room when I heard Sirius, James and Remus arguing a bit loudly. I got off my bed and walked down to the common room, as I walked in the three of them fell silently. Remus tried to usher me back to my room, James gave me a sad smile, and Sirius looked up at me with sad eyes. "Maybe you guys should talk in my room." I suggested looking around the somewhat crowded common room. I brought them into my room, I climbed into my bed. James and Remus sat themselves on the bed opposite of mine, Marlene's bed. Sirius walked in his eyes clouded with tears and anger, "Pad, come here." I whispered.

He nodded and climbed into my bed with me. I sat up leaning against my pillows, I held my arms out for Sirius to lay on me. He laid his head on my stomach, his body rested in between my legs. Slowly, I combed my fingers through his long wavy hair. "Talk to me Pad." I whispered, his grip on my waist tightened. "It's okay, hey you can talk to me." I muttered, running my fingers through his hair and caressing his cheek that wasn't on my stomach.

He slid his hands under my shirt and rubbed my bare back, I let him, knowing it was how he got comfortable. "I'm worried for Regulus." He whispered almost inaudible. "Your brother right?" I questioned kissing the crown of his head, he nodded against my stomach. "Why?" I asked quietly, he sighed. "He's easily influenced by our mother. He thinks just because he's a Black and because he is in Slytherin house, that he-he has to be a death eater. I-I-I'm his older brother and next year is my last year and I-I won't be there to watch him and I-I," Sirius rambled, tears streaming down his cheeks.

I dried his tears, he sat up and faced me, I cupped his cheeks gently rubbing my thumbs against his cheeks. "I'll watch him. Just introduce us, we'll be friends. He can't be that bad, I can handle you three just fine!" I teased, he let out a dry laugh. "Sirius, I promise I'll watch him when you are gone. He won't be a death eater." I smiled, he smiled back at me. "I love you, Vi." Sirius mumbled, wiping his tears away. "I love you too, Padfoot." I whispered, kissing his forehead. "C-can I sleep with you tonight? I'll lay on the floor!" Sirius begged, I rubbed his cheek. "No need for the floor, go get your clothes." I smiled, he jumped up and kissed my head before taking off to his room.
