Regulus Lestrange

Surprises

I wonder what uncle Sev wants to talk about,' thought Regulus, entering in his godfather's quarters. When he entered in the living room, sitting at the couch was Sirius Black and a shabby looking man. "What's going on here?" asked Regulus.

"Regulus, let me introduce you to your biological father's friends; Sirius Black and the mutt, Remus Lupin...without Dumbledore's influence," said Severus, smirking.

Regulus widened his eyes before shinning in excitement. He jumped in-between Sirius and Remus, "Is it true that you two and my father, James were the ultimate pranksters?"

Sirius and Remus widen their eyes before looking over at Severus.

"Don't look at me. It was Bella and Narcissa," snapped Severus. He snorted, "Also, Lily had a diary from her Hogwarts years and saved it in Reggie's old trust vault. Narcissa went to Gringotts and send it to Bella who would read it to Reggie as a bedtime story."

Sirius choked, "She...She did that?"

Regulus grinned, "She told me how brave you were when you stood up against your parents. She wished that she could have done that, but she had to protect her sisters...she had to pretend to be this perfect Black heiress."

Sirius placed his hands onto his head, feeling guilty for not being able to protect his cousin.

Remus patted Regulus' head, "Well, that's all in the past. Now, your question, yes, Sirius, your birth father and I made much pranks during our time in Hogwarts."

Regulus smiled before frowning, "But why did you two always targeted uncle Sev so much and caused him so much pain?"

"We were young and foolish, Reg," replied Remus, sadly. He looked over at Severus, "I know that an apology wouldn't do, but I hope you can forgive us someday."

Severus looked at them with uncertainty, but noticed the guilt inside in his former classmate's eyes. He sighs, "You're right. A simply apology wouldn't do, but we can try to be civil – BUT NOT in front of Dumbledore."

Sirius and Remus agreed. Throughout the evening, Regulus spent time with his two godfathers and surrogate uncle.

Few days passed, and Regulus was helping his godfather in his Gryffindor and Slytherin fourth year class since his Potion class was cancelled. He was helping a Gryffindor, Neville Longbottom when there was an explosion behind them.

"Weasley, 30 points from Gryffindor!" snapped Severus. "Redo it again! And make sure you don't mix up the ingredients again!"

"Bloody greasy bat," murmured Ron as he's cleaning his area.

Regulus glared at him, but didn't say anything. He didn't want to deal with Ron since he demanded him to sit by him in the beginning of class. When Neville was close to finish his Antidote potion, there was a knock on the door. Severus opened the door and standing there was a sixth year Slytherin student.

"Sorry to disturb you, sir, but Mr. Bagman is requesting Mr. Lestrange for the wand weighting."

"That's quite alright, Mr. Anderson," said Severus. "Mr. Lestrange, you may go. I believe Mr. Longbottom can finish his potion without your help."

Regulus nodded and followed the Slytherin student to a room where the other three champions and a few reports were at.

"Ah, come in, come in, Mr. Lestrange!" said Bagman, happily. "Thanks once again for escorting him over here, Mr. Anderson."

"No problem, sir," said Anderson before leaving.

"Right over here lad," said Bagman, placing Regulus by Fleur's left. "While we wait for Ollivander, take as much pictures as you want. After the wand weights, will be the interviews."
