"Pump up the jam, pump it up while your feet are stompin'.." I sang along while dancing in my common room.

I was up before everyone else for the first time in ever and waiting for them to come down.

"What are you doing?" A voice rang out.

I stumbled mid dance step as I looked up and removed my headphones as I spot Regulus leaning against the wall.

"Stalk much Reg?" I scoffed annoyed.

"It's my common room too." Regulus answered with his fine eyebrow arched up.

"Not yet. Maybe I'll ask Hogwarts to place you elsewhere." I sassed as I flashed my heir ring.

"Using your power for evil. How Slytherin of you." Regulus said as he seated himself.

"I'd say I'm using it for good." I responded while crossing my arms and glaring at him.

"Yeah, I think I'm definitely going to enjoy myself in this time period." Regulus smirked.

"I'll make sure you wish you died." I said.

"Damn if this isn't love then I don't know what love is." Blaise said as he entered the room.

Blaise came up and kissed my cheek while wrapping his arm around me and gave a speculative glance at the new boy.

"So who is this boy that was sleeping in my bed?" Blaise asked.

"I think you'll find it was mine first. My initials were carved into it all the way back in the 70's." Regulus said.

"He's Reggie Arcturus Black the II." I answered.

"That's Regulus and I'm the first of my name." Reggie declared proudly.

"You can't be the first because he's long dead." Draco said as he entered the chat.

"You're minnie Lucius for sure. I guess my cousin Cissy's marriage to that prat is going well enough then. She deserves better." Reggie said as he eyed his second cousin.

"Where's the Queen?" Pansy's voice was heard.

"I don't know! She's never up before us!" Daphne's voice carried down.

"THE QUEEN IS MISSING!" Ginny screeched.

The boys began laughing at the panic heard above as Theo came stumbling down.

"MY SISTER IS MISSING!" Theo gasped after he tumbled down the last step.

"Get yourself together Knott. I'm right here." I said with a giggle.

"Sweet Salazar don't scare me like that again." Theo said as he hugged me tightly.

Soon the girls came tumbling down like dominoes in their own panic.

"Girls, girls, girls calm down. The Queen was an early riser for once." Blaise said.

"She couldn't stay away from me any longer." Reggie said as he threw his arm around my waist and pulled me close.

I don't even know when he got next to me before I was elbowing him in the side. I saw him wince but he didn't let go. I could see Blaise and Theo talking with Draco butting in. I could overhear them saying yet another guy to have "the talk" with. I rolled my eyes as I zapped Reggie causing him to let go. Daphne and Pansy then took their rightful places at my side and we hooked arms as we lead the way to breakfast. Once at Breakfast Dumbledor stood for all to see.

"I have some words before breakfast begins. During the course of last night Peter Pettigrew was caught alive by the ministry. Which leads to the possibility that Sirius Black was innocent. A trial will be held for him where his name will possibly be cleared. Due to this we brought his son home from the United States where he was attending Ilvermony. Sirius named his son after his younger brother in memory of him and we felt it in good faith to send the kid overseas so he wouldn't have to live under the crimes of his father. But now that it appears Sirius may be innocent we thought it fine to bring his son back. So would Regulus Black please come forward to be sorted." Headmast Dumbledor called out.
