CAMILLE WALKED down the corridors at a fast set pace. She wanted to do everything in her power to help Regulus get out of this. She knew she probably wouldn't be able to do much, but she thought she could always. Worst case scenario, she was kidnapped, tortured, and killed by the deatheaters.
That is a pretty terrible fate. She thought. She decided to find the other Black brother, hoping he would at least something. But, knowing him and his brothers reputation, it wasn't very likely he would help.
Camille snuck into the Gryffindor common room. It was around the late evening so most students were already up in their dorm.
Camille let out a frustrated sigh when she couldn't spot Sirius or his friends in the common room.
"What are you doing here?" Lily asked Camille. Camille turned around to see Lily and Mary.
"Oh, hi, guys. Do you happen to know where the boys are?" Camille asked. Lily turned to Mary assuming she knew. Mary just shrugged.
"Probably playing some prank if they're not up in their dorm. You can check if you'd like. Just up those stairs to the right." Mary pointed out the way to Camille.
Camille said 'thank you' before heading up the steps. She reached the door of the four marauders dorm. She stood there for a moment.
Was this really the best idea? Would Sirius really want to help Camille and Regulus? And why would Regulus tell Camille this information? Why not anybody else?
She stood at the door for a few moments before it opened. Remus threw the door open looking very angry. His face softened once he saw Camille.
"Hi, Cam. What're doin' 'ere?" he mumbled.
"I'm looking for Sirius." she said. Remus looked shocked and pointed in the dorm.
"He's in there, but he's in one of his moods. Best talk to him later." Remus said before walking off down the steps.
Camille knocked lightly on the cracked door.
"What?" Sirius yelled. Camille pushed open the door slightly and saw Sirius laying on his bed, face into his pillow.
"You alright, Black?" she asked him. He immediately sat up and turned around.
"James, Pete, and Remus are downstairs. Leave me alone." Sirius groaned. His eyes looked bloodshot like he was crying and his nose was red. His hair was disheveled and his clothes were all messed up. His tie was thrown on the floor and his shirt was wrinkled.
Camille walked further into the dorm and closed the door behind her. She looked around the room more. Various items were tossed around the room, like there was some sort of fight.
"I said they're down there." Sirius said.
"I'm not here for them." Camille said. Sirius looked at her confused but shrugged her off.
"It's about your brother." Camille continued.
"Oh, I don't give a fuck about that tosser." Sirius rose his voice.
"Your family wants him to join the death eaters." Camille said before Sirius could spit out anymore insults.
Sirius sat up straight and leaned forward, seeming more interested in the conversation.
"What?" he asked, with a terrified look on his face. Camille nodded. Sirius sat up and paced around the room.
"What are we gonna do? How can we fix it?" he asked. There was fear and worry in his voice.
Maybe he does care about Regulus. Camille thought.
"I have to help him." Sirius said. Camille stood up.
"We have to help him." she said, emphasizing the first word.
"We are not doing anything. I am going to get my brother out of this." Sirius said. Camille rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"Well, your brother asked for my help. I'm sure he didn't even want me to tell you." Camille said, raising her voice.
Sirius looked offended.
"Why would he go to you for help?" Sirius asked.
"Oh, well, maybe because I show interest and care for him unlike you."
"You have no idea what goes on between me and Reg!" Sirius shouted.
"I'm sure I don't, because every fucking chance you get you throw some stupid insult his way and you never once have ever asked how he's doing." Camille shouted back.
Sirius stared at Camille and wiped a tear that was starting to fall from his eye.
"Just let me help him. We can help him, Sirius." Camille said, softening her tone. They stood there for a few moments.
"Fine," Sirius finally spoke up, "but, this does not mean we are friends. We are just doing this for the well-being of my brother."
Camille sighed in relief.
"We have a deal." Camille said. Sirius almost cracked a smile at the girl, but he held it in.
"Now, I'm busy, off you go." Sirius shooed. Camille left the dorm heading down the steps and back to the Gryffindor common room. She saw Remus, Peter, and James all chatting on the couch.
She decided she might as well spend a little more time here and hopefully the boys would get her out of her mood.
She sat next to them on the couch.
"What happened?" James asked, worriedly.
"Just had a chat with him that's all. What's up with you all?" Camille asked them.
"We were actually about to head to the hospital wing. Remus is feeling er — sick?" Peter said. Camille nodded suspiciously.
"Well, off I go, I suppose. I'll see you all tomorrow."
Camille smiled."Sure." James nodded before the three walked off.
"Weird." Camille mumbled. She decided to go
in for the night and went back up to her dorm, where her other dorm mates were already fast asleep.Camille quietly slipped in and changed into
some pajamas before heading to bed.✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
