It was August 1978, the marauders and their friends had graduated Hogwards and recruited into the order of the phoenix
Sirius sat on the sofa as he stared out the window looking at the ocean, he had moved out off the Potter's house when he graduated....Lily and James were engaged, Remus and Docras were out on a mission and Marlene was training to be a healer while being healer for the order
"Fooof!!"
Sirius turned around to see his six year old cousin, neice more like it
"Hello Nymp!" He said as the girl ran upto him
"Your probably not gonna remember a word I say....but I'am going to embarrass you so bad when you turn older" he said ruffling her hair that was turning black mirroring his own
"You two are up early" Andromeda said as she let out a yawn and
"Mummy!!"
"Hello my love!" Andromeda said as she picked up Nymphadora
"Morning Tonks'" Ted said as he walked into the
"Not unless you plan on marrying me mate"
"And Sirius" Ted said smiling as he sat down next to Sirius
"Hello loveies!" Ted said as Nymphadora ran to him and Andromeda approached the pair with tea
"Thanks Drom"
"Hullo" Ted said kissing her cheek
"Hello love" she said before she sat down on an armchair across from them
"So.....i know you don't want me leaving....but I was thinking that maybe I should move into Alp-
Sirius was interrupted by tapping on the window, gaining the attention of the trio
"I don't think I know that owl" Ted said as Andromeda and Sirius grew stiff
"That's-
Andromeda moved to the window and opened the window, a beautiful owl with gold and black colouring perched itself on the windowpane
"Are you doing good Penny?" Andromeda asked as she gave the owl a few treats and stroked it
"Whoes owl is it?" Ted asked Sirius
"Narcissa"
"I thought you Black's had specific owl's"
"We do....but cissa's owl has always been an odd ball kinda like her....weird hair and everythin-
"No no no!! No! This cannot be happening" Andromeda said as she gripped the letter in her hand
"What's wrong? Meda?" Ted asked as he and Sirius got to their feet
"Regulus got the mark" she whispered as her eyes trained past Ted and to Sirius
"No! No not possible! Must be a mistake....there's no way Reg has the mark and he's too young he's just starting his sixth year there's no wa- Drom tell me it's not true! He's my kid brother it-i- it ca- she couldn't have possibly let him get it! They know better than that!"
"Siriu-
"I need to go!" He said grabbing his jacket and wand before apperating
He reached hogsmead and in no time was storming into the back room of hogsmead pub
"Black!"
"Get out of my way Moody!"
The opened the door with a bang to see his friends gathered around the table
"That's all I can te-
"YOU! YOU FUCKIN TRAITOR! YOU GAVE ME YOUR WORD THAT HE WOULD BE KEPT OUT OF THIS!" Sirius yelled as he held his wand at Albus Dumbeldore
A chorus of surprised gasps and people calling out his name echoed through the room
"And I assure you Mr.Black he will be kept out of it"
"HOW WILL YOU FUCKIN KEEP HIM OUT OF IT?? HOW!?"
"Sirius....I must ask that you trust in me just this once....I assure you no harm will befall Regulus"
"Sirius" a soft voice said from behind him
"Let's put the wand down love" Marlene hand wrapped around his making him lower his wand
"He gave me his word" he said softly turning to her while Dumbeldore dismissed everyone but the marauders from the room
"You said you would protect him Dumbeldore!" Sirius said as he paced
"Padfoo-
"My brother James! My fuckin brother has the dark mark!!" Sirius yelled as he banged his fists against the table
Lily let out an audible gasp while Remus, Docras and James shared a look
"We know Sirius....we got word" Remus said
"You knew? How long did-
"Mr.Black....it's been a week since your brother as been initiated into the death eaters....but like I said he will not be harmed!"
"How can you promise that? How can you keep him from harm?"
"I cannot but I assure you as off now your brother will be safely locked away at hogwards....while he may bear the mark he's still a student and your parents will not let him drop out of school....so as of now Mr.Black I assure you Regulus is safe" Dumbeldore said as he left the room
"Damn! Voldy must be desperate if he's recruiting students" Remus said as he sat down
"Hehe! Moony said Voldy" James giggled after a moment of silence making the group let out a half hearted chuckle
"Look I hate to agree with the man...but he's right Sirius, Reg is safe as long as he's in hogwards, he's recruiting them young but what good is a wizard if he can't perform music outside school and besides he's more focused the pawns he has now"
"Your death eater boyfriend tell you that Meadows?"
"Matter of fact he did Black!"
"Okay Enough of this!" Lily said as she got to her feet and walked to her bag grabbing something before walking back toward the group
"What's this?" Sirius asked as he took the envelope from Lily
"Can't you read Black?"
"You're getting married?!"
