Harry Potter and the Brothers Black

Chapter 2

Hadrius Black was sitting in his room, lying on his bed and reading a muggle book that he had borrowed from Ginny the last time he snuck over. He was currently six, in his room were also his two younger brothers. Sirius who was five and Regulus who was four, the two were on the floor reading wizarding books for children.

"Hadrius! We're bored!" Sirius whined. 'Cute' was the immediate thought that came into Harry's head, it was even more enforced when Regulus started nodding rapidly.

"Are you? I suppose you want me to do something about that?" Hadrius smiled "What's the magic word?"

"Pweze!" Regulus begged. Harry shook his head and placed his book down, he stood up and ruffled Regulus's hair.

"It's 'please' little brother, and because you asked so nicely I'll do something for you. Do you two want to see a werewolf?"

"Yes please!" Sirius and Regulus bounced up and down

"Shush." Harry placed his finger on his lips and the two quickly became quiet "Keep this a secret because I don't want to get in trouble with mother." After seeing two confirmation nods, Harry wandlessly placed locking and privacy charms on the room to keep others out, he raised a finger.

"Expecto patronum." From his finger tip burst a variety of animals and Sirius and Regulus had their jaws dropped. "Come on sit on the bed with me" Harry instructed and all three brothers sat on his bed.

"What are they?" Regulus asked

"I'll tell you." Harry said "that big one over there, that's a werewolf."

"A werewolf? Are they bad?" Sirius asked

"No, or at least not all of them," Harry answered "S lot of people think that all werewolves are bad but for the most part they're all nice and just want to be left alone or have friends."

"What's that one?" Regulus pointed to one of them

"That's a phoenix," Harry answered "They're special birds, when they die they come back to life. Oh, and over there, that's a stag. That snake is a basilisk."

"A basilisk?" Regulus pointed to the snake that was currently the length of the bed.

"Yes, they're very dangerous. You want to avoid them at all cost, or at least call me before you go and meet one. Over there, that's a nice dog."

"I like the dog." Sirius commented as he looked at a dog that looked familiar to Harry, it was Padfoot.

"I thought you would." Harry chuckled "Over there is a cheetah." Harry pointed fondly, as the Cheetah was Ginny's animagus form.

"Is that a dragon?" Regulus asked, pointing to the horntail that was flying over their head.

"Yes." Harry nodded "I made it and the basilisk smaller so it can fit in the room, and there is my favourite, a dire wolf."

"Why is the dire wolf you're favourite?" Sirius asked

"Because of this." Harry stood up and the animals vanished, before the two could complain Harry transformed into a giant grey wolf. Sirius and Regulus jumped back in shock, it was then that they realised that the dire wolf was looking very amused.
