Raising Snakes

53. Letter Back

Italics- parseltongue - Solomon
Bold- beast speak- Otiz

Regulus was in his room as he had no lessons as it was the weekend he had a scheduled play date with his betrothed Amalia Greengrass after lunch so he was reading when an owl barn owl crashed into his floor

"What in blue blazes?! ok I've been hanging out with papa too long" he got off his bed and went over to the poor owl to help it when he noticed the letter under the poor creature

"Merlin can't she get the message that I don't want to talk to her it's been what 4 years since I last talked to her after what she did to us and grandfather and dad took me and Sirius away and then we met papa and father.... I wonder if they would let me write a letter to her telling her to leave me alone I don't want to know"

He went to find Errikos as Abraxas was having a nap with Aquarius and Orion was out at a meeting for once he was glad that he was the youngest in the family he was classed as the 'spare' just in case anything happened to Sirius he wouldn't be the heir of the family and he was fine with that but still just in case he was learning about being an heir while Sirius was off playing with some of the other children in their group

"Papa?" he asked as he knocked on the office door

"Reg son what's up?" he looked up from his paperwork Solomon wrapped around his wrist and head on the tip of the quill

"Mother sent me another letter" he sighed

"Well son it's up to you what you want to do we normally burn them due to the potions and charms on them to make you follow the underline messages what do you want to do?"

I want to each the bitch but I'll have heart burn

Solomon don't

I run on caffeine and inappropriate thoughts the snake smiled

"When in Merlin did you have caffeine? you got into my coffee didn't you?" the snake ignored the question

"I'm ignoring you two at the moment but papa you said I could chose what I wanted regarding my mother"

"That's right so what do you want to do?" he poked Solomon who in turn chew his finger

"Well I want to write to her to tell her to leave me alone its been years since I saw her and that was when grandfather and dad took me and Siri away from her due to what she did to us"

"Would you like help with the letter?"

"Yes please"

Errikos got another chair and some parchment out so then he could help with the letter

Dear Mother

I am doing well since grandfather and father took me away from you when I was only three years old, I did miss you but what you did to me and Brother Sirius was the worse thing you go have done to us, no mother should hurt their children, we children in the Magical World are precious and so very few of us to say the least

Mother what do you want from me I am only 8 years old I can not do what you have asked of me, I am too young not to be allowed out on my own the only time I am without father or even grandfather is when I do go out with my tutors during my lessons or going to my betrothed, no I will not tell you so do not ask this of me or my friends that I have made over the years

Mother please do not make me do something I will regret doing, I love you mother but what you ask of me is for an adult I am but a child still I do not want to hurt those I love

I had a feeling you would see the news of my sister, again no I will not tell her name to you... names are a powerful thing and it can be used in so many ways so again do not ask this of me

Mother I hate to ask this of you but please stop contacting me, you have been cast out of the family for a reason and for that reason I do not know of it as I have not been told, please mother leave me alone

No I would not like you to be there when I head to Hogwarts when I am 11, that is 3 years away from me so please do not come

Please believe me that I do love you as you are my mother but what you did.... I can never forgive you until the day I die

Your son

Regulus A Black-Peverell

"Papa is this good enough for her to understand that I don't want her to come to the Kings Cross and I don't want to go to her either I don't remember what happened to make us all come together but it had to be bad, I've had nightmares about a green curse and mother..."

"Regulus don't worry ok me and your father's are watching out for all of you boys and including Aquarius as well don't worry if anything happens we will come right away ok"

"Thanks papa and her name is Aqua by the name her name is way too long Aquarius Farrah Thalia so we call her Aqua instead" he gave a cheeky smile as he watched his papa mail the letter with his trusty owl Hedwig, she was a beautiful snowy owl who loved the family but she only had eyes for his papa

"Your mother should understand that we are in a full mate ship and magic has excepted you boys as our own hence why your last name is now hyphened magic has brought us all together we are a complete family now so don't worry about it Hedwig will just drop it off and return now go and get ready for Amalia she'll be here soon as it's our turn to host the Greengrass's " he shooed the boy out of the office playfully making the young boy laugh

Once out of the room Errikos summoned all the letters to him from Wulburga and sighed this had to be about the 20th letter to date and each one saying the same thing really

This is worrying my friend she doesn't listen and keeps sending them to him

I know Solomon and it worries me I have a feeling something will happen and soon but I don't have a clue

It could be the bitch Harry you know something will happen meaning it will happen whether we want it to or not

I don't think so Otiz but Abraxas has just had a child my baby girl I don't want any of my family hurt

Well we can sort that out

"How?" he asked in English this time around but the two never said anything and looked at each other ignoring Errikos completely before going off Solomon in Otiz' fur

yes I know Hedwig shouldn't be here but she needed to be
