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 was in my dorm room with Reg and Barty listening to Bohemian Rhapsody, Reg laid in my bed eyes closed - I don't know if he's even awake - and I was sited on the ground right next to the bed with Barty's head on my lap. The boys are here often, they like the Ravenclaw dorms, and my roommates don't mind them as long as they don't touch their stuff.
All of us were enjoying the song when Barty blurted out of nowhere "we should start a band"
Regulus chortled - so he was awake - "Barty you don't even know how to play an instrument, and you sound like a whale giving birth when you sing." he said
Barty sat up and hit Reg in the head "Fuck off, I do not" he replied offended. "Besides, Lilah would be the lead singer."
He looked so sure of his answer that I had to reply "According to who?" I ask him rather amused by this whole situation.
He looked at me with disbelief. "According to any sane person who has heard your voice, idiot" he said.
I look over at Reggie who was wearing the same expression as me but he also seemed to be considering it. "I mean, you could always teach Barty how to play an instrument" he says.
I look at them incredulously, "I never thought I'd see the day"
Barty looks at me confused, "What day?" he asks
I smirk at them, "The day you both officially lost your minds". Barty And Reg let out aggravated grunts, and I just laugh at their faces.
Reg looks at me and then sits on the floor next to me. "It could be a good way to distract ourselves from all that's happening..." he looks at Barty hesitantly before talking again. "Me and Barty have been talking, you seem different and we believe something bad happened when you were away"
Barty nods, his face uncharacteristically serious "We won't ask you what happened, but we know it has something to do with Kay since he hasn't shown up to the dorm" he said.
Reg let out a sad expression at the mention of Kay's name and I felt my heart twist inside my chest.
I think about telling them what happened but immediately dismiss the idea, I still can't. But I will soon. Kay was part of their lives too.
"I promise I'll tell you, I just can't right now" I tell them my voice so small I didn't even recognize it. They both looked at me and nodded. The air around us was solemn, so I try to lighten the mood.
I let my head rest on Reg's shoulder and look at Barty "So Barty...what instrument would you like to play?" I ask, and I swear I have never seen his face lite up like this before.
"Drums!" He nearly yells, he is almost jumping up and down like an exited 5 year old. Reg is looking at his, his face stoic but the little twitch at the corner of his lip showed me how hard he wanted to smile.
"Reggie already knows how to play the piano and I taught him how to play guitar in fourth year" I say, Reg nods along.
"I suppose Barty can't take the excitement anymore" Reg tells me amused when Barty jump on my bed and starts hitting the imaginary drums in front of him.
I laugh at him and stand up helping reg stand up too, when I cast the tempus charm it turns out lunch already started. I grab my bag and turn around just in time to see Regulus pulling Barty off of my bed by the ear.
With a hiss Barty smacks Reg's hand away and walks over to me with a pout. "Control your beast" he tells me.
Reg walks over to me rolling his eyes and turning around, crouching down a little. "Get on, Lilah. We'll be late for lunch"
I smile and jump on his back, Regulus got a toned body - he got muscle but he's more on the lean side - all because of Quidditch. And he's strong enough to carry me all the way over to the great hall. He makes sure to pay the bottom of my skirt to keep me covered.
On the way there all Barty can talk about is the "Band" while I happily laid on Reg's back with my head resting in the crook of his neck. Regulus got tired of him so he put a silencing charm on him - I don't think Barty noticed.
Regulus turned his head faintly to me, "Are you alright?" he asked in a whisper.
I offered him a tiny smile, "just peachy" I replied.
By the time we got to the entrance of the Great Hall the spell has worn off and Barty is ranting about our alleged tour he arranged in his head. Reg is shaking his head saying how "if he doesn't shut up, he'll perform a lobotomy without anesthesia on him."
And just as we walk through the doors Barty decides to yell "We're going to take over the World!"
Immediately every single table shuts up. Reg squeezes my thighs a little tighter, and his jaw is clenched, putting on that emotionless face he puts up In front of everyone else. I follow his line of sight and see him staring at the Gryffindor table - most specifically Sirius.
When I look I manage to catch Remus's eyes he's staring at me - more like us - wide eyed, Potter next to him is looking between us and Sirius wide eyed and lips parted, Pettigrew is looking confused, And Black is looking sickly pale and wide eyed at Regulus.
Barty - who must know about Sirius - looks at him with the iciest glare and stands in front of Reg in a protective way. He might be immature sometimes and careless but when it comes to us he's overprotective.
Im still on Reg's back and there's a lot of people staring at me, so I whisper at him to put me down. He does, and I turn to stand in front of him, looking at him.
"Reg." I call him and he doesn't answer, his vision still focused on Sirius.
"Reggie" still nothing.
"Regulus" My voice strict. That did it, he looks down at me.
I look at him straight in the eye "Do you want to leave?" My voice is still firm. He considers for a moment but then shakes his head. "Ok, then"
I turn to the fucking audience we have and scowl. "Show's over, Mind your damn business!" I yell at the crowd. I got a few nasty looks from a few people but I couldn't care less.
I just grab Reg and Barty and drag them to the Slytherin table, the people there don't mind me since I'm a pureblood. I sit in front of them and when I look up, hazel eyes are staring right back at me.
