Gone | Regulus Black | ✓

Chapter 8 *

"Regulus get your arse down here, I won't ask again!" yelled Mum from downstairs.

I sighed and closed my trunk. I barely got sleep last night, I couldnt stop thinking about what will happen to Sirius when he comes back. I know he won't come back for Chirstmas but he kind of has to come back this summer. I lift my trunk over my shoulder and walk out of my room not bothering to shut my door.

Once I get down stairs I set my trunk down by the door and walk into the kitchen where I can hear Mum. I stand up straighter when I see Bellatrix sitting with her at the table.

"Hello," she says raising an eyebrow, " Does it usually take you that long to get ready? My Mum would have murdered me if I took that long."

She turned back to the newspaper in her hands. I look up at Mum to see her glaring at me. I know I'll be in trouble once I get back. I sit down opposite of Bellatrix.

"Where's Dad?" I ask noticing he is not sitting where he usually does.

"He's at work." Mum said not looking up from her paper.

I notice her wand right by her hand and I freeze. She usually only has it out when Sirius is here. I look over at Bellatrix and I see her wand is out to. Crap, they don't trust me. I look down at my placemat and don't say a word. I hear Kreacher rush out of the kitchen. I look up to see him balancing 4 plates and cups. Each plate carries 2 pieces of toast, eggs, and bacon. He quickly sets the plates down in front of us. Oddly he puts the fourth plate where Dad usually sits. I glance over at Mum she isnt paying attention. I quickly take a bite of my eggs, I almost gag. It has pepper on them. I hate pepper. I don't say anything because I know Kreacher will be on the other side of Mums wrath.

"Good morning, Regulus."

I turn to see Narcissa come from the hallway.

"Morning." I mumble.

I look at Mum, realizing I didn't use proper grammar. She's shooting blades at me with her eyes. I try to quickly fix my mistake.

"Good morning, how are you?"

Narcissa looks at me as she sits, "I'm fine. Are you excited to finally be able to fulfill the Black legacy at Hogwarts?"

I look at her, her face is lit up as if she means it. "I'm thrilled! Don't want to end up like a filthy piece of trash like him."

Everyone nods but its Bellatrix who speaks up, "Just saying, if you want to be disowned by this family all you have to is be like him. Mud-blood friends, Gryffindor, half-breed friends, and talking bad about our family."

I nod and I see Mum finally look up. "Who's the half-breed or Mud-blood?"

"Lily Evans is the Mud-blood and Remus Lupin is the half-breed, he is a Werewolf." Explained Narcissa.

Werewolf...?

"That's horrible. How could he interact with that lot?" Mum says angrily.

I look at the clock on the wall and see that its 10:40. I quickly finish eating. I push back my chair and stand up. Mum does the same. "It is a pleasure having you two come see Regulus off today." She says sincerely.

They both nod, and get up. I walk upstairs to finish getting ready. I hear my door open behind me. I can see Bellatrix from my mirror. "You know it's rude to barge into someone's room. I could have been changing." I mutter, looking at her dig around in my desk.

"Your Mum sent me up to help you get ready." she says without looking up from what she's doing.

I sigh and try to ignore her. My thoughts go back to Remus being a Werewolf. From the picture I saw in Sirius' room, I don't think they know what he is. No sane person would allow a Werewolf near them I can tell now because if his scars. I won't tell anyone at least not now, maybe I'll say something later.

My thoughts come to an aburt stop as Mum calls for us to go downstairs. We leave my room and leave to go off to King's Cross. When we get there. I see Sirius with all his friends. I also see a girl run up to him and jump into his arms. Then they kissed, like full blown kissed. I looked out of the side of my eyes at my Mum. But from the look on her face she hasn't seen him. I tell my family good bye. And walk towards the train but I get stopped by somebody.

"Hello, I'm Severus Snape and you must be Regulus." He says putting his hand out for me to shake.

I take his hand and shake it, "Yes that would be me. And who are you?" I ask turning my attention to the red head beside him.

"I'm Lily Evans. Are you Sirius' brother?" She asks staring at me.

Lily Evans? The mud-blood? "Yes, yes I am. Now if you'll excuse me." I say coldly glaring at her.

I turn and walk to where Sirius was standing with his friends but they weren't there anymore. I sighed and turned back to the train to go on. I walked on and tried to find and empty compartment. I walk past the one where Sirius and his friends are in. I see the messy haired kid, James, looks at me then whispers something to Sirius and then they both burst out laughing. I turn away with a look of hurt on my face. Was I really that big of a joke? I finally find an empty compartment. My thoughts are racing as I sit down. I was an arse to Sirius all summer, I turned him away over and over and hurt him so much yet why am I so hurt from one thing?

My chest tightens and I start gasping for breath as if I'm drowning in my thoughts. I can't stop. It just gets worse and worse. The compartment around me disappears all I see is James and Sirius laughing at me.
