I can't hear you....

Signing

Sirius entered the hospital wing without knocking.

He didn't care if the medi-witch thought he should get to see his badly hurt, younger brother.

The curtains were drawn tightly around the bed his brother was in, sirius cursed himself for not bringing any paper.

The boy in the hospital-bed was reading with his knees nearly to his chest.

The book was resting on his knees and the new glasses were tipped on his nose.

Books, identical to the ones sirius had on his bed were on the nightstand.

Sirius sat down on the chair next to the bed. The slytherin looked up and smiled.

"Hey." Regulus said quietly.

Hi. Sirius signed.

Regulus' eyes lit up and his smile grew ten times.

Hello.

His expression added an exclamation mark.

"You're learning? Already?" Regulus asked, excitedly.

Yes. Sirius signed, regulus squealed.

It was past curfew when sirius decided to go back to the common room.

He had left the map and the cloak back in the dorm. Today, also, wasnt the usual prefects patrol. No, it was the monthly teachers patrol.

So instead of risking being caught by someone he was friends with, he was risking standing face-to-face with Minnie, and he doubted that she'd be happy with him out after curfew again.

For the first few minutes, he was lucky. There wasn't a single teacher in sight. The halls were completely empty, until he passed around a corner and saw the two people he didn't want to meet.

He turned around and walked the other way. He prayed that he managed to get away unnoticed.

"Mr.Black." Killed his hope in a second.

He sighed. "Yes?" 

"Can you tell me why you're up after curfew?" McGongall pointed. 

"Ehm.. well i- ehr" sirius stammered.

"Yes?" McGonagall pushed.

"I was just.. in the hospital wing." He said, like if it was a question.

"Was that a statement or a question Mr.Black." She took a few steps towards him, so they didnt have to shout.

"A statement." He stated.

"Well, what were you doing in the hospital wing then?"  She asked.

Sirius mumbled something. "Speak up Mr.Black." McGonagall demanded.

"Visiting, regulus." He said.

"Oh... well, next time, get back to your common room before curfew." She warned.

Sirius nodded and so did Minnie.

When sirius entered the dorm, it was dark. He assumed that the others had gone to bed.

The books he had left open on his bed were now on his nightstand. "Muffliato." He whispered.

"Lumos." He said and kept on practicing signing. 

AN- I'd be happy if you'd read my other stories. <3
