Into the Wizarding World (Sirius Black x Reader)

14: Confirmation what we know

Snape calmly walks into the room, sneering at the marauders as he passes them. "Black! Potter! Put those blasted wands away, just because you're Aurors doesn't mean you can act like children!"

"What is snivellus doing here?" Sirius growls and both boys reluctantly lower their wands to their sides with a tightly clenched fist. I take his hand and he looks down at my worried expression and takes a deep breath before taking a seat. Lily pulls James back down and I intertwine my fingers with Sirius and rub circles on his hand with my thumb. "He is my source, and he has an announcement for you all." Dumbledore smiles.

A low growl emitted from Sirius so I gave his hand a squeeze. He relaxes slightly and wipes his thumb back and forth in my hand to calm himself down. Snape smirks at the boys, as if he feels powerful and they all glare harshly back at him. "The dark lord is looking for a muggle born that apparently is really powerful, until they are found there will be a big increase in muggle born deaths in the coming days. He also seems to be collecting werewolves, but he wouldn't tell us why."

Sirius grips my hand tightly and snape tells us everything Regulus had already told us about Voldemort's plans. Remus' foot begins to bounce rapidly as his anxiety got turned to max power and he began biting his nails. James ran his hand through his hair and looked at Remus worried as Sirius, Peter, and I tried to calm him.

Snape smiled at the sudden tension the Marauders showed and looked like he was ready to laugh at them. The others made their opinions known about the issue to Dumbledore, "Do not worry, I will travel to anyone who wishes to add wards to their homes for added protection and Remus will be sent out again to look for allies soon, and then we too will have an army." We all frown and go to protest but the old dumb dumb holds up hand to silence us. He changed the subject and asked for updates and reports before assigning new missions.

"Sirius and James. You will both travel to a warehouse Severus provided and observe it. Find out what's there but do not engage, don't be seen, and don't get caught. Depending on what is found we will decide if we need to take action. I'll send you a letter when you're both expected to leave and return." He leaves no room for them to talk or ask questions as he moves on.

After the meeting I rushed them all to my house before Snape had a chance to push more buttons. "I'll order take out, we need to talk about what just happened."

"Agreed." Sirius sighs and goes to the kitchen to grab a few glasses and his stash of Firewhiskey as I took everyone's order and made the call. The floo comes to life once I hang up and Regulus falls through. We all gasped as Sirius and I both ran to him. He rolls his brother over and we see that his face was black and blue, and he occasionally twitched in Sirius' arms. I choked back a sob and tears fell freely from Sirius' eyes, "I'll kill that hag if she did this to you. I'LL KILL HER!" He growled.

I pulled out my wand and carefully added stability and featherlight charm so that we could move regulus to his bed upstairs so I could treat him. Sirius knelt at the side of the bed as I worked quickly, helping Regulus swallow down the potions and gently massaging his tense muscles from the continuous Crucio he had been receiving.

I took a seat next to Sirius once I was finished and held him as he cried, humming softly to no particular song and rubbing his back or running my fingers through his hair until he calmed down.

I pulled away once his tears stopped and gently wiped them away as I looked into his puffy eyes. "He's going to be alright. Let's let him rest for an hour while we talk to the others and then we'll check back in to see if he's awake yet. How's that sound?" He sniffs and lowers his head before giving me a small nod.
