Delilah Pierce didn't have the best home life, and when in school she tended to blend in with the crowd. She didn't mind it though, she was perfectly content with her 2 friends and her brother.
But what happens when she comes back to her six year a...

I lied.
I'm ready to throw myself off the astronomy tower.
Dumbledore keeps raging on and on and on with his annual speech, Oh! and don't get me started on the singing. I'm so close to banging my head on the table. But I don't think the other ravenclaws would appreciate that, so I just close my eyes and lay my head down for the rest of the sorting.
After a little while I raise my head and look at the slytherin table. Reg is chatting with Barty, I haven't spoken to him much this summer, well it's not like we could anyway. Stupid pureblood families.
Barty changed too, he looked even better than last year. His hair is longer and his skim is flawless, not a single imperfection in sight, I'm sure he is taller too, he looks good. But there's no way I'll tell him that. If his ego got bigger, I'm sure it would explode.
Merlin, did everyone have a glow up over summer? I wasn't there when they gave out beautifulness.
Fuck everybody, honestly.
When the sorting is over and the feast appears, I just stand up and leave. food disgusts me these days, I love baking it. But when it comes to eating it I just feel like my throat closes up and my mouth goes dry. And it's not like I didn't eat anything at all, I ate a few crackers at home.
I was so lost in my own thoughts that I didn't notice Reg and Barty following me, so when a hand touched my shoulder I turned around and punched whoever it was.
Barty went down gripping his nose, he should have called my name.
"It's good to see you too, gorgeous" he strained. I quickly helped him up and apologized, all while Regulus snickered at Barty.
"it's fine, should've expected that". That didn't make me feel better.
"I'm really sorry I didn't hear you coming here, it was pure instinct." I really need to pay attention to my surroundings.
"it's no big deal" he shrugged, then he smirked at me. "Maybe a kiss would make my nose feel better." cheeky fucker.
Me and Barty are not together, even if his fangirls think so. He's just a flirty guy, he acts the same with everyone. We have a flirty friendship, but that's all it's going to be.
"I'm sure Reggie here would be thrilled to help with your lethal injury" I smirked back. Regulus put on a disgusted face when Barty eyed him suggestively, dramatically batting his eyelashes.
"Absolutely not" exclaimed Regulus. Barty pouted dramatically before laughing. He walked over to me and wrapped an arm over my shoulders. "where were you heading, love?"
"Just walking the corridors, I missed the peace hogwarts brings me" I replied. He looked off at the distance, face somber as if remembering something bad. It went as fast as it came, instead putting a smile on his face, albeit it seemed a bit forced.
"You do that, I'm going to the dorms, I'm completely knackered," he said before walking away. I looked at Reg and we shared a worried glance. Something tells me Barty didn't have a great holiday either.
"What do you think happened to him?" I asked Reg as we continued walking .
he shrugged. "His dad is being a mayor pain in the ass now that he's being selected as Minister of Magic" he said.
"What about you? anything you want to tell me?" I ask, my voice hopeful.
He looks at me but doesn't reply, we keep walking the the castle with my question hanging over the silence. After some more walking we ended up at the Black lake.
We sat under a tree, the lake a few feet away from us, and the breeze chilly due to it being so late at night. I leaned my back against the trunk and closed my stretched, my eyes focused on the lake in front of us, you could see the giant squid in splashing in the distance.
"He left." He says.
I turn to look at him, his legs were pulled to his chest, arms wrapped around them, and his head rested on his knees. He was staring off at the lake but I could see tears welling up in his eyes.
"Sirius left me" His voice was starting to break, I pulled him towards me and rested his head on my shoulder.
that's when he broke.
His shoulders shook with every sob, his tears were rapidly falling from his eyes, and I can do is hold him. He positioned himself so his face was hidden on the side of my neck, I could feel every tear, every sob, every painful word.
"He left me with them!" he sobbed. I could feel tears gathering in my eyes. He doesn't deserve this.
I turned my head and gave him a feathery kiss on the forehead. I had to close my eyes because if I didn't the tears would break free, and he needs me to be strong right now.
"It's alright....You're going to be alright." I kept whispering. "I'll make sure of it"
After a few moments his sobs turned into soft whimpers, and then into shuddering breaths. I ran my hand through his hair, hoping that I'm bringing him at least a bit of comfort. And he grabbed the other one and played with my rings.
"He didn't even ask me to go with him..."His voice was so low I almost didn't catch it. "There was screaming, my parents and Sirius always fight but this time it was different. I heard his door shut and I opened mine to check that he was ok. He opened the door again and he was holding his trunk, he looked at me and didn't even say anything."
He took a deep breath before continuing, as if telling the story was draining him. "Then the front door opened and then I heard it being slammed shut, when I looked out my window I saw him leave.... didn't look back once"
He looked up at me, his eyes red from crying, then turned to look back at the lake.
"He didn't even say goodbye" he whispered sorrowfully.
Im going to murder Sirius Black in the most morbid way I can find, and I'll enjoy it. How dare he hurt my Reggie.
