I watch as my baby brother walks into the great hall. He turns his head and smiles at me. Of course I smile back, but when he sees Sirius his smile drops and he continues to look ahead. I place my hand on Sirius' to comfort him. we wait until his name is called.

"Black, Regulus" Professor McGonagall yells as I watch that smug boy walk to the chair. They place the sorting hat on his head, and it doesn't even say anything before announcing his place.

"SLYTHERIN!" it yells, and they cheer. He walks over and Narcissa pats him on the back. He goes to wave at me but the other kids tell him to cut it out. God he is way too young for this.

"no surprise there." Sirius remarks.

"Rius stop it."

"what I'm just saying."

"he is still our brother."

"and yet he only bothers to talk to one of the 'forbidden twins'."

I just ignore him and continue to watch over Regulus. Lily rubs my back to comfort me. Why do we all have such corrupt families I don't understand. I don't know why Sirius doesn't want to believe in him anymore.
