The spares spare

Chapter 2

I awoke around 8:30 the next morning. I look out my window and see it is a gloomy and stormy day outside. What a surprise. In my defense, it is my favorite type of weather so I'm not complaining. But sometimes I would like a little sun every now and then.

As I'm staring out the window I hear a knock on my door. I look over and see Regulas walking towards my bed. He looks extra tired right now.

"Hey Reggie, whatcha doing?" I ask with a bit of a rasp in my voice. Seeming as I just woke up.

"Nightmare" he said short and simple. He gets comfy under my covers and I hear a slight snore another minute later. Sometimes he has these nightmares. He never mentions what they are about but I understand they are reoccurring. He has always come into my room to sleep after these nightmares ever since we were little. Regulas used to go to Sirius as well but as they grew older, they became more distant to eachother. I on the other hand stayed close to both of my brothers. It kill's me to see them so distant but I know it's better than hearing them argue all of the time.

A sigh leaves my mouth as I get out of bed and make my way to my closet. I pick out whatever I see which and head to my bathroom. I don't take morning showers because my hair takes forever to dry. So I enter and brush my hair and teeth instead. Afterwards I check on Reggie and see he is still fast asleep. I check my grandfather clock and see it is only 9:15am. I shrug my shoulders and make my way to the kitchen.

As I'm walking past Sirius' room I get pulled inside with a hand over my mouth. I became wide eyed and turned around to see who it was. I turn around and see.... No one. Strange. I figured it would be Sirius, but as I look around I see I am in our storage room. I get the sudden feeling I'm being watched and turn towards the door to get out of that room. Something feels off. And I'm not about to find out what that is.

I steady myself and walk straight past Sirius's door. I would normally walk in and say Goodmorning, but after that weird encounter, I wanted to just keep to myself. I head straight to the kitchen where I run into my mother knocking whatever was in her hand out and listen as it comes crashing down on the floor. It shatters everywhere and out of instinct I bend down and pick it up.

"Ugh you little brat" my mother yells at me

"Sorry mother I didn't mean to, it was an accident-" I keep repeating hopefully nothing will happen

I put my hand on one final piece of glass to pick up but as I place my hand down, she uses her foot and pushes it down.

"Aurgh" I say clenching my teeth and squeezing my eyes shut from the pain.

Finally after she pushes down once more. She lifts her boot and walks straight out of sight. My mother and I never got along. Then again I dislike both of my parents but there's something about my mother that I don't understand. I feel a bit of pity for her.

I finished throwing the glass away as I head back upstairs to care for my hand. Which now has a gash right in the center going from the start of my pinky to the start of my thumb. It's pretty deep from her pushing on it.

Of course, knowing my luck. I walk right into Sirius as I head to the bathroom.

"Oh Aja I didn't see yo-" he stops mid sentence

"Bloody hell, what happened" he says urgently grabbing my hand then looking at my face

"Mother happened" I reply with a grit in my voice.

He sighs and continues "alright, well, shall we go get that cleaned up" he suggests grabbing me and helping me clean and bandage my hand.

After fixing my hand up I have suddenly lost my appetite from earlier. I thank Sirius and sit on the sink. I'm not necessarily thinking about anything, just sort of, staring I guess.
