Breaking Free (Black Cousins)

Trapped

Sirius was playing with his broom on the living room of the black house going up down and all around his cousin Narcisa and his brother Regulus were watching with worry on their faces.

"Mom is going to kill you if you break something, and you know that" Regulus shouted

"Well is her fault for having a house in the middle of a muggle city and without a backyard, how I am I supposed to practice my flying" Sirus said

"you'll practice your flying when you get to school, you can join the Slytherin quidditch team, but for now you could do something less problematic" Narcisa said.

"Less problematic? Cissy I'm trapped in this house there is nothing more problematic than that for me" Sirius said annoyed.

"Please Sirius our parents are already mad after they got the letter from Bella saying that Andi and Malcom were on the train with a mudblood" Regulus said.

"Great, they decided to be normal people, maybe Malcom isn't a bad choice for Andi after all" Sirius added.

"If aunt Walbie catches you talking like that you will be in even more trouble" Narcisa said.

"Bella should be the one in trouble for snitching what her little sister and her future husband are doing if Andi has anything important to tell us then she would write about it herself" Sirius said.

"you're insufferable brother, I don't know if Diana Carrow could actually marry you" Regulus said

"Diana is nice a little to cookie cutter pureblood wife like Cissy for my liking, but she is fine, she has a little edge to her though, I like that" Sirius answered.

Months later after another play date with Diana

Sirius found hirself looking at the quidditch team guide Diana had given him, Sirius have to give it to her, she was doing her best in getting to know him. And giving him gifts according to his interests, like flying and quidditch, but Sirius didn't like her, maybe it was this rebellious attitude that he always had towards his mother and everything she wanted him to do, she wanted him to be, that he couldn't bring himself to like the girl his mother had disposed to be his lifelong partner.

"Sirius my dear, the Carrows have invited you to spend a couple of weeks with them in their country house, then we will all spent christmas together with your cousins and the Malfoys, and the Lestranges, and the Greengrasses and the Rosiers, celebrating all this successful pureblodded pairings we have formed, things are going wonderful, except for that little mishap in the Hogwarts Express with Andi, but soon after that she too decided to cut ties with that pest." His mother said

Sirius felt as if he was about to vomit, he liked the idea of finally setting foot outside the house and going to an open free space, but he didn't like the reason why he was going, and the Carrows may be even worse than his parents. And that whole christmas pairing celebration didn't sit well with him.

The Carrows house was a nightmare, even more so than life imprisoned in the walls of Grimauld Place, they didn't just take him to spend time with Diana, they took him to make him into the perfect husband for Diana, they tortured him to get him to say the correct answers time and time again to the different questions they asked, about their daughter, about politics, about history, they wouldn't let him use a broom sayin that broom flying was an activity reserved for those above 12 years of age and wasn't the attitude of a pureblood. Diana only watched with an terrified expression in her face, she probably had been subject to this kind of torture and "education" by her parents all her life, but seeing it done to someone else petrified her. Sirus hated being trapped in his house but now he felt what it was like being trapped on hers.

The Carrows last lesson before heading to Grimauld Place was the most terrifying one of all, if he wanted to join the Carrow family he would have to take active fight against muggles and muggleborns, he would make sure the poor souls would go running away from school and from magic, he would punish the school houses who accepted those lowlifes and when he finished his studies he would join the group of followers of the rising resitance against the government and their softness led by the Dark Lord.

Sirus wasn't the only one being tortured, Diana's cousins Amycus and Alecto were also being "educated" but unlike him they weren't resisting.

Sirius was a troublemaker and he liked to pick on his brother and his cousins every now and then but being mean enough to push someone away from a school or from the magical world was something he couldn't find himself doing, no matter how much the Carrows would torture him. Sirius didn't want to join this family, he didn't mind Diana, she was nice enough, but her family was a nightmare, he would have to find a way to get out of that marriage.
