The world we change (a Harry Potter fanfic)

Part 12

September 8th 1978

Regulus

"Narcissa, may I speak with you for a moment?" I whisper to my cousin—in my opinion, my most tolerable cousin. "Why of course." She says putting down her reading material and i gesture for her to follow me as I lead her to my room.

Once we're up the stairs and in my room I close the door and put up a silencing charm. I open my mouth to speak but am interrupted. "Oh shit Sev, you think this is the Black family inbreeding everyone always talks about." I turn my head and scowl at Barty who is apparently sitting cross legged on his bed, with Sev on his across the room. I rub my temple. "Get out."

He raises his hands in surrender. "Hey you do you Reggie, I'm just saying if you wanna do one of your cousins at least pick the one that isn't engaged—ow ok, ok I'm going!" He exclaims rubbing his head from the shoe I just threw at him. Sev gets up to leave as well but I put my hand up to him. "Stay."

He does choosing to take a seat on the bed once again. "What's this about Regulus?" Cissa asks narrowing her eyes. I run a hand through my hair. "I'm not really sure, there's just—" I stop. What do I even say? I have a weird feeling so can you help me stock a girl. "We don't have all day Black." Severous drawls.

"When Nott was—Nott said that Granger girl was an elemental." I explain and Narcissa raises her eyebrows as if to say, 'so?' "It's not adding up Narcissa, something isn't right. She's hiding something." I say and she scoffs shaking her head. "So what she's an elemental, I mean yes it's rare but possible, I don't think that means she's hiding something Regulus." She says with a laugh. "You're thinking too much into it Cousin."

Sev shakes his head. "I don't believe Your thinking in to it enough." He says gruffly him too noticing what I had. "And why is that dear Severous." Narcissa asks crossing her arms. "Because Elemental Magic goes back centuries, all the way back to Morgana and Merlin, the first two elementals in history. And only decedents of Morgana and Merlin can have the ability." He says.

"Elementals usually show up in the purest of houses as you've seen with both your sister and cousin, but that it because most of the sacred twenty eight have at least some connection to Merlin or Morgana, however how little. Elementals string from Purebloods, and occasionally on a very rare occurrence they may show up weakly in halfbloods that connect to the sacred twenty eight. But a muggle born has less then zero chance of being an elemental and yet,"

"We have an elemental girl claiming to be a muggle born." He concludes and I see the wheels turning in Cissa's mind. "That makes no sense, Theodore must be mistaken, no pure blood would willingly go through the torture of being a muggle born if they could avoid it." She reasoned but it didn't change a thing in my mind. "The girl could just be unaware of the fact the she's a pure blood." Sev offers. I shake my head

"No it doesn't make sense, she has to know, Nott said she's the best student in their year and that she's excellent at DADA, and Elemental magic is covered in there." I tell them once again running a hand through my hair as I begin to paise. "No, she has to know, which means she's lying for a reason, which means she's hiding something."

I look between then to see then exchanging a look. "What?" I ask throwing my hands up. Cissa gives me an odd look before turning to Severous. "Severous would you mind giving me a moment with my cousin?" She asks and he immediantely uncrosses his legs and jumps from the bed.

"It would be my pleasure."

Narcissa

Severous leaves the room after his gruff reply and I'm left alone with Darling Regulus. I take a moment to study my younger cousin and I can practically hear the boys mind moving. "Why are you so worried about this girl, cousin?" I ask as he resumes his pacing.
