Sirius and his family were to spend christmas in their cousin's house, his mother wanted Sirius to learn how too be a true Black from them. What Walburga didn't know was that her brother's house was currently the siege of the deatheaters and that the moment they walked in there Bellatrix would make sure Sirius was away where he couldn't hear any plans he wasn't supposed to, that meant trapped in the one room in the highest floor in the house, Andromeda's room.
In one moment Andi went to her room to see Sirius.
"Hey Siri, I'm sorry you have to miss the party" Andi said trying to cheer him up.
"It's ok Andi, I don't really like these parties anyways and you know that, but it is stupid that bella traps me in here because she thinks I'm going to rat out her plans, I don't care and I'm not sneaky enough to do that" Sirius said.
"Not sneaky enough huh? then what is the dog I've been seing outside of school these past few months after the day of the storm" Andi said.
"you knew it was me? how I never told you what my patronus was?" Sirius said
"no need, your name is Sirius, the brightest star in the sky on the cannus constelation, you were pretty much destined to be a dog, not even talking that you're as hyperactive as a dog, it isn't that hard to figure it out" Andi said.
"fair enough, I have one question for you Andi, why do you enjoy these parties? after all you are dating TT, don't you feel disgusted" Sirius asked
"I do feel disgusted, but let's just say that you aren't the spy Bella should be watching out for" Andi said.
"you... you are working as a spy for the Order?" Sirius said.
"I can't comfirm nor deny that" Andi said.
Sirius was astonished, he never believed Andi would straight out work against her sister but he guessed she just wanted to keep Ted safe.
" Sirius, Andi, come down here for your Christmas presents" Druella said
Both of them went downstairs to find Alecto Carrow and Benedict Nott standing besides Walburga.
"Mom, this is not a gift exchange but an intervention, because Andi and I don't have a perfect pureblood partner yet" Sirius said.
"Sirius you live under our rules and you will come down here and spend the day with Alecto" Walburga said.
"Fine mom, just the day, I won't promise anything else" Sirius said with clear annoyance on his voice.

Regulus was pleased by the attention of the Rosiers, their house was set on a hill in the french campagne, near the Loire River protected by a variety of spells.
" so, you like it here?" Cassia said
"yes it's a beautiful place, so sad it has to be so concealed" Regulus said
"I know, but once the Dark Lord takes over britain we'll take the concealment charms down and make this a headquarters for the war in France and great aunt Vinda could be free at last" Cassia said
"you like your aunt Vinda?" Regulus asked
"yes, she is great, she told me all sorts of crazy stories from her time as a servant of Grindlewald, like when she convinced this American witch that was in love with a muggle, that under Grindlewald's rule she could marry her muggle boyfriend, can you believe that and avobe all she was a legilemens, my aunt is really good at occlumency, so bad you can't meet her, safety measures" Cassia said.
"I really can't believe she fooled a legilemens, occlumancy sounds amazing" Regulus said
Regulus explored various places in the house, many books on dark magic and dangerous artifacts, then something caught his attention protected by a glass there was a skull with some tube attached to it, it looked like the dark mark.
"What's that?" Regulus said approaching the object
"Be careful, that's Grindlewald's skull, he used it to get visions, he was a seer" Cassia said
"why does your family have it? I thought this stuff was locked up in a ministry of magic somewhere, or probably being sold at Burgin and Burke's" Regulus asked
"my family has their way of getting hold of these objects and not all of those ways are legal, so it would be better if you kept the secret about this place and what we have here, if you want to marry me one day as your parents want, you have to promise to keep secret everything I've shown you and told you, maybe after leaving school when we are deatheaters you can meet aunt Vinda but right now its not safe, we already took a big risk by bringing you here, but it seems you are really comitted to the cause" Cassia said.
For the first time in his life Regulus could fully feel the weight of everything in his life, his present his past his future, when he heard Sirius had been sorted into Gryffindor, Regulus felt important, that he wouldn't be like Andi or Cissy living in the shadow of someone else, he was happy he could carry his family's name but now, he felt scared, the Rosier House didn't seem so pretty but dark and observing threatening to drown him with reminders previous wars and dark times of the wizarding world.
