drowning in black

I

Serafina took in a breath of air as soon as her feet touched the ground.

she took a look around soaking in the new environment; in the middle of a street that she seem to recognize as islinghton, not far from her own house.

she looked up at her parents "che stiamo facendo qui?" (what are we doing here?)
she didn't receive a reply, so she tried to ask one of her brothers while her parents headed for a big bricked building;
"manu, secondo te cosa-" (Manu, what do you think-)
but before she could finish her sentence

"andiamo." (come on)a

her mom grabbed her arm and started dragging her inside the, now visible house.
she and her family were greeted at the door by a really ugly house elf.
her parents didn't even notice the creature, but her brothers did
"l'hai visto Serafina? lo porto a casa così quando mi annoi ti faccio mangiare da quel coso"
(did you see that serafina? i'm going to take him home with us so he can eat you when you are annoying me)

it was her older brother emanuel that spoke "tommá smettila di rompere"
(stop annoying her Tommy)

and with that her other older brother, Emanuele, grabbed her hand, dragging her behind their parents that started going deeper in the house;
once they reached the living room they were greeted by four people.

"Luca! it's a pleasure to have you in our home."

"the pleasure is all mine Orion."

Serafina hid behind her brother while looking at the other two kids in the room.

they both had short black hair, but one of them had curly hair and the other straight, the slightly taller one had grey eyes the shade of a chalkboard that hasn't been washed in years, the shorter one had grey eyes as well, the thing that made his eyes different was the fact that in his grey eyes there were specs of a very deep blue.
the were both really beautiful.

Serafina thought it was so weird how almost all siblings look alike, like for example she and her brothers;
the four siblings all had golden blond, thick hair, the fun thing was that they almost had all the same haircut as well:Serafina had shoulder length hair with bangs, Tommaso had pretty long hair for a boy, in fact, it was so long that he kept it in a little bun on the top of his head with the shorter strands hanging out, Emanuele the oldest one had long hair too -but he preferred to keep it down- and lastly Simone (the youngest of the four) had a little bowl cut.

Emanuele and Serafina both had green eyes, unlike their other brothers who's eyes were sweet hazel, although the color was different, they all had sharp, slightly downwards almond shaped eyes, with long dark lashes.
more things they had in common were for example their hight (all being tall for their age), a sharp face structure, plump pink lips and an italian nose.

the Cherubini siblings were just as mesmerizing as the Blacks.

Serafina seems to recognize the two boys; she remembered her cousin, Davide, talking about them once.
she was so focused on the boys in front of her that she wasn't even paying attention to the conversation that was going on between her parents and the Blacks. her train of thoughts was interrupted when her father petted her head:
"we will be in the drawing room, make friends."

their father smiled towards the black brothers while saying this, his words marked with a thick italian accent.

Serafina didn't have the time to reply that the two set of parents were gone.
she turned towards the boys and smiled
"i'm Serafina. these are my brothers: Emanuele, Tommaso and Simone. and you are..?"

the taller one answered "i'm Sirius and this is my little brother Regulus. how old are you?"
"i'm 5."
"HA! im older than you! i'm 6 and a half, but regulus is 5 like you."
Emanuele didn't like the way sirius boosted his age with him
"well, i'm 8 and Tommaso is almost 7 as well"
Sirius' smile dropped
"uhm... and... uh... and how old is, what was his name? uhm him!"
Sirius pointed at Simone who was looking at all the intricate designs on the carpet.
"he's 4"
before Sirius could embarrass himself more, regulus interrupted;
"i have never heard these names, are you not english?"
