Choices- James Potter [ON HOLD]

Disgraced

"James!" Cassiopeia called her voice echoing throughout the large house as she kneaded some dough whilst lily was mixing some filling.

"What?" he called back not bothering to get up from where he was sat playing wizards chess with Sirius.

"Come here!" she said with flour covered hands sharing a mischievous look with her red head friend.

"Coming!" said the boy pausing the game off chess with Sirius but not before taking his knight. "I'll be back in a sec" said the messy haired boy as he went through the corridor of his house and turning into the kitchen seeing Cassie making something with Lily. He smiled at the sight moving towards the girl and wrapping his arms around her waist hugging her from behind. "What you making?" he asked kissing her cheek.

"Cinnamon rolls" she smiled proudly leaning into the boys tight embrace. 

"MMM sounds good" he hummed placing light kisses along her jaw "I love you" he mumbled into her skin.

"I love you too" she smiled turning around and kissing him sweetly discreetly dipping her hand in flour and bringing it up to James' face covering him in flour. 

"Oi!" he said sending Lily and Cassiopeia into fits of giggles as they ran away, Lily with the bag of flour. "Come back here!" he said to the giggling girls "Padfoot help!" he said Sirius appearing besides him moments later.

"You called?" 

"Get them." 

Lily and Cassiopeia were hidden quietly around a corner thinking they were finally hidden from the two boys until they received a face full of flour making them let out shrieks. blowing flour out of her mouth squealing as James lifted her up by her waist Cassie began kicking her legs to try and break free "James!" 

James chuckled putting her down and kissing her cheek. "I love you"

"I love you too" she smiled up at him poking his nose with her flour covered hands.

Regulus Black sat around the dining table of twelve Grimmauld place as his mother, father and cousins rushed around the place wondering where on earth Cassiopeia Black could be. Narcissa, Regulus and Lucius sat quietly. Lucius was due to be betrothed to the young Black however after her disappearance he soon found himself lined up to take the hand of Narcissa who was sat quietly next to him Regulus the other side of her. 

"What do you think will happen when we go back to Hogwarts?" asked Lucius gently 

"I think they will see her on the platform" answered Lucius "the likelihood of us being allowed contact with her is slim..however there may be a few things that I can try to...convince them otherwise" 

"How?" asked Regulus "She will be deemed a blood-traitor, a disgrace to the Black family name!" he hissed quietly "They would never allow it"

"Yes but if we say we can try to convince her..to change her opinions then perhaps.."

"Well first of all we have to work out where on earth she is" reminded Narcissa ignoring the suspicious look her sister was sending her.

"Cissy" came the cold sinister voice of Bellatrix Lestrange "Do you know where my favourite cousin might me?" she asked clearly trying to detect any hint of deceit as her sister spoke. 

"No Bella" answered Narcissa truthfully for she truly had no idea where her cousin could be. 

"Perhaps she's with her blood-traitor brother" spoke up the sinister woman once more narrowing her eyes at the mere mention of Sirius. 

Lucius, Narcissa and Regulus tensed, the Malfoy boy now knowing of Cassiopeia's relationship with James Potter after Regulus explained everything to them privately, they could only assume she would be there with her brother and her boyfriend however they had no way of knowing for sure.

"My Cassie wouldn't do such a thing" roared Orion Black "She would never leave her family to be with a blood-traitor bastard" he seethed  offended that Bellatrix would even suggest such a thing. 

"What if she is?" spoke up Walburga hesitantly "What if she ran away"

"Then she shall be disgraced" hissed the cold hearted man 

"And say she has run away" snarled Regulus defending his sister "What if she decided to come back?"

The adults in the room looked at each other as if they were having a silent debate before seemingly coming to an unanimous decision. "Then we welcome her back with open arms" spoke Orion dangerously calm 

"Even if it is years from now." added Walburga 

"But" continued Bellatrix sharply "We make sure she can not run away again" 

"How?" frowned Lucius curiously 

"We provide her with the greatest honour of all" smirked Bellatrix "She can join our ranks..where she should be with the rest of her family"

"The dark mark.." whispered Regulus in realisation as his older cousin sent him a proud smile. 

"Exactly Regulus" smirked Orion

"The dark mark"

"What are you gonna do when we go back to Hogwarts?" asked Sirius gently as he sat beside his sister on the sofa in the Potters living room. 

"I don't know.." frowned Cassiopeia "I suppose the first person I ought to speak to is Narcissa..she will know what to do"

"Hear she's engaged to Malfoy now" spoke up James from his spot beside his girlfriend 

"Speaking of" perked up lily looking up at her sister "Were you two a thing?"

"Who? Me and Malfoy?" asked Cassie incredulously 

"yeah" nodded Sirius looking at his sister expectantly "Always saw you two coming out of broom closets together though I never saw you put a label on it"

"Sex" snorted Cassiopeia "There's your label, nothing more nothing less. Just two friends that shagged occasionally"

"And he asked no questions when it suddenly ended?" asked James curiously 

"No he didn't" shrugged Cassiopeia "Besides I'm pretty sure he knows about you and I even if I haven't explicitly told him" scoffed the black girl. "There's nothing to worry about" she reassured "But for now..let's relax and worry about Hogwarts when it's time to go back"

"Okay love" agreed James kissing her head and changing the subject among the four teens. Cass remaining quiet as she thought about all the scenarios over in her head of what could happen when she goes back to Hogwarts.
