Saturday, October 14, 1978 (Sirius pov)


Reggie,

I'm sorry i haven't answered you, I have avoided you, I have ignored you, I have been mean to you, I regret every day leaving you in that house,

Sirius


"Are you ever going to send those?" I can hear James from behind me

"BLODDY-!!!" I turn my head and quickly flip the letter I was writing, I have written over 730 letters, all to Regulus, everyday, never sent a single one, I have them all in a box, stapled to the ones he sent,

"Watch your language," James said, "you ever gonna send them? You sit they every day writing, but never send a single letter"

I sigh and lean back, "probably not."

James raised an eyebrow, "why not? is it a lover?"

I laugh, "no! James you know I am dating Remus."

James face goes serious when he realizes, "there to Regulus aren't they"

"Yeah ye-" I get cut off by an owl who flys into our dorm window dropping a letter at the desk.

"Regulus?" James asks, I look down at the letter

"No, Barty,"

"BARTY CROUCH?!? The Minister of Magic!!" I got more worried,

"No, Barty Crouch....Junior"

James looked surprised, "what does that brat want?"

I ignore the question and look at the letter, on it it has my full name, and written in bold red letters: DO NOT IGNORE IT IS ABOUT REGULUS!!! I open the envelope, and unfold the letter and read it:


Sirius,

Meet me after dinner, Dumbledore's office bring James and McGonagall, Regulus needs help, I don't know if anyone is looking over your shoulder or anything, but this needs to be private. Put all differences aside, tomorrow the pranks and curses can continue tomorrow,

Barty


I handed the letter to James to read, and then spoke up "why do you think he wants you? If it's about Regulus..."

James looks a little nervous, but I decided not to point it out. "Uh no idea, but this sounds like Black Family stuff." I grab the letter from him,

"Which I am not a part of anymore, so it's either both of us go, or none of us"

"I feel like you need to..."

"Then great, we both go" James looked worried, and still nervous, but agreed.
