Regulus walked down the corridors. He wasn't really going anywhere in particular at the moment. He was just wandering aimlessly in the higher parts of the castle. He's already paced the hell out of the dungeon corridors so somewhere else in the castle needed to be paced the hell out of. He was pacing because the school had sent invites to their parents for some stupid family visit day. Did they even know what they were doing? I mean half the families could kill each other right there and then with all the tension that certain families had with others. Then there was his own. He's have to show them around because there was no way in hell that Sirius would help him out with that one. No the youngest son of Orion and Walburga was on his own. It wasn't like he had something to prove to his parents because he didn't but he did have other things to prove.

He shook his head as he turned and walked down yet another corridor. His parents could find their own way around if they thought of coming in the first place. He shook his head and went on to thinking of other things. His mother had sent him a letter that he have expected to be a Howler. However the young Black had never gotten a howler in his life. Still his mother was all up in arms about something or other and she'd cut off another house elf's head again. Thankfully Kreacher had apparently gotten away from her kill the house elves rant. As the house elf himself had sent Regulus a letter. His mother wanted him to do well this year and his father well that was another story. His father had already charged him with what he wanted and Regulus though he knew he was smart was not sure he could fulfill.

There were too many things running through the young Black's mind that he finally just slid down the wall to one side of the corridor he was in and sat down and curled up his head buried in his knees. Why the hell had Sirius left him to deal with the crazy that was their parents?

Sirius pushed the portrait of the Fat Lady forward, stepping out of the common room and leaving the noises students behind. He needed to clear his head a little, away from the noise and nearness of his best friends. The Marauders knew of his feelings for his family, but right now, their righteous indignation that his parents might actually show up was not helping.

Despite him being the bad son, the rebel that needed to be tamed, they would want him by their side along with Regulus. They hated that he was a Gryffindor, but that would mean little this weekend. The Blacks would not allow their son to act up with them here. They would think that just because there would be so many people around, he wouldn't embarrass his parents directly in front of such a large group. Well, they would be sorely disappointed if they thought that he was going to behave.

He hated the way they would demand that he act, that he should just toe the line, so that meant that he would most assuredly keep that up. He wanted everyone to know that he was different. he started to pace the halls, not knowing that was exactly what his little brother was doing. It was strange how similar he still was to his family regardless of the fact that he prided himself on being so different.

The elder Black blindly traversed the halls, only coming to a stop when he saw a familiar figure slouched against a wall. He approached slowly, head tilted a little to the side. Regulus. Why are you up here?

[/b] He asked carefully. He was by no means trying to kick his brother out of the upper floors of the castle, but it seemed odd to seem him up this way when there wasn't a lesson to get to. He was a Slytherin after all.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

It looked as though Regulus was actually crying at the moment. His shoulders moved as if he was. However, the young Black hadn't cried in a very very long time if ever really. He couldn't remember the last time that tears had actually come out of his eyes. No he was just in a state of slight depression and didn't know what to do at all about anything. He hadn't really gotten word about their parents coming to this stupid Visitation thing but it was possible still. It wasn't like they were actually going to tell their children. That wasn't exactly there style. They would just show up if they wanted too and demand that their children do what they said. They would stick up their noses at all the muggle parents and then possible talk to others and parade him and Sirius around. That was if his older brother didn't piss them off in the first thirty seconds that they were there in which case. Regulus would not hear the end of it while he was being the oh so dutiful son.

He really wanted nothing to do with all of this and for the first time in his life he almost wanted to do something about. He wanted to not be the star child. However, say that to his parents and he'd be screwed beyond the next life time. No he would then get his brother in trouble with them and they'd go off on Sirius. No he would protect the hell out of his older brother. Specially when it came to his parents. Sure he'd let them yell at him but he wouldn't be the cause of the yelling. Not now and not ever. Then a familiar voice came into his ears. He looked up a sad look on his face. It sounded almost like his brother didn't want him here. He took a deep breath and then uncurled just a little bit.

"I needed to get out of the dungeons and so my feet brought me up here. I don't want Mum and Dad to come here. I want them to just leave us be." Hogwarts was his home away from home why did they have to drag there parents here. Why were they trying to drive every one of them completely mad? Sure there were some kids that actually adored their parents but still. School where were the pureblood children could find themselves and keep it secret if they so choose. He wasn't even sure why he had said the words he did to his brother. Only a small part of him felt shame for saying them. The part that always wanted to please their parents. "What are you doing out of the common and without THEM?" Regulus didn't exactly like the people that Sirius was friends with but he didn't out right hate all of them either. It was odd to see his brother just one on one like this.

Sirius might not like that his little brother was following in his parents' footsteps, but he was still his brother. They were still family and he really wanted to help him deep down. That look on Regulus' face would have broken his heart if they were a little closer. As it were, it just made him sigh and feel a little worse about their situation. Brothers divided by some old world, back country morals that didn't count any more. He certainly didn't want to marry his cousin just to keep the blood pure.

Still, he couldn't just leave Regulus here to fret about their parents coming for the weekend. I don't want them here either. All hell will break loose if they do,

[/b] He replied, moving to sit beside his brother. He drew his knees up, arms resting over them as he stared out down the hallway.

The elder brother frowned a little, raising a brow at Regulus. "Them" have treated me a lot better than you lot, so you know,[/b] Sirius snapped back, not liking that his brother could take such a tone with him. He might not talk back to Mother, but he had no qualms about being a brat to him. Regardless, I am allowed on my own. They aren't my keepers.[/b] He lifted his chin a little, having always been one to wander off on his own. During the summer he did try to keep out of the house. He didn't have the other Marauders with him then.

He let the aire of defiance leak out and he slouched his shoulders a bit. Dipping his head, his dark bangs fell forward into his eyes. I don't know what they're going to want of me. Will they want me there with you guys, Reg? Will they force me to be "their" son?[/b] He asked quietly. It wasn't like him to be insecure like this, no less to allow anyone in his family to see it. However, this was a special occasion and this was his brother. If he could show a little bit of weakness, it should be with him, right? [/blockquote][/blockquote]

Regulus didn't mean for his last set or words to come out in any tone against his brother. He was just so confused and stressed out that things just weren't going to go his way. He nodded his head to Sirius's words about their parents. It wasn't like they were going to have much of a choice in any matter. Also Sirius didn't know what their father had told Regulus before they left or what his mother would be yelling at him for later. Regulus was not his brother's keeper and he refused to let his parents know what trouble it was his brother was getting into. He was not going to be a rat. Apparently his mother told wanted him too but in the five years he's been here he had not done what she said to do. And he still wouldn't but then she would actually yell at him in front of Sirius if they did show up to this stupid event and then all the hidden protection he wanted to give to his brother would be almost ruined if she did.

He watched as is bother sat down next to him and curled up as well. This was a very rare moment for the two sons of Orion and Walburga Black. Moments like this happened all to little but when you were divided by old morals and codes well its just what happened. Regulus tried to follow tradition and Sirius well he tried to be different that was all. Regulus flinched as Sirius snapped at him for his words. "Sorry" He said softly almost so low that Sirius might not pick it up. Regulus had no clue why he was saying sorry to his brother and it might be just that fact that he is his brother that made him do it. He gave a nod to the fact that Sirius's friends were not his keeper. He watched his brother's shoulder's slouch a bit and his bangs fall over his eyes. He moved a little closer to his brother. They were on the same page in a sense about their parents coming.

"I don't know. I do know that they'll want us together to parade us around like some piece of meat." His eyes went wide when he said it but apparently he was going to say a bit of what he truly felt. "I..I never said that." He looked away but apparently trying to please his parents was getting to him a little bit more then usual. "They will make a big fuss if you act out which I trust you will do regardless." He sighed he meant nothing by his last set of words it was just something that he expected of his brother. Regulus was the one to please and Sirius was the one to drive them crazy that was how it had always been almost. They had at least tried o be closer when they were children then Sirius got sorted into Gryffindor.

Sirius blinked, a little confused at how nice Regulus was being to him. Yes, it was surprising he was being this kind as well, but the fact remained that this was so rare it didn't feel right. Then, there was that small fact that, in their absence, the brothers could get along. If it weren't for their family being around them, they might actually be able to have a relationship.

If they could keep the vastly differing views out of it.

He took a deep breath and cast Regulus at odd look out of the corner of his eye. They could really tolerate being this close to each other? He never thought that this might be possible. Lifting his head, Sirius frowned a little. I can't be like them, Reggy. I can't think that it would be okay to marry my sister, if we had one, just to keep the blood pure. That isn't right,

[/b] He insisted.

He shifted, moving so he could look Regulus in the eye. Do I upset you? Does my getting in trouble bother you that much?[/b] Sirius never really wondered what his own antics did to his brother. He had always just wanted to make sure no one thought of him as your typical Black. He wanted to be put into a different category and thought that he succeeded. But how badly did that hurt Regulus personally? If he really cared about his brother, would he be able and willing to change himself for someone that he didn't think himself close with in the least?[/blockquote][/blockquote]

All of this was starting to feel odd for Regulus. This was probably the longest time that either of them had spent in each others presence in awhile. This year even though it had just started was stessing Regulus out. He needed people around him to keep him sane apparently. However, the fact that he and Sirius were actually holding a conversation just added a level of confusion to the young man's mind. Their parents were around which meant that they could in a sense be themselves. They could say what they wanted, live a completely different way. Regulus liked tradition it set boundaries and it allowed one to fake it somewhat. If you knew the traditions and you knew what was taboo in them you could blend in and make it so no one saw the true you.

However, Regulus knew that you could screw things up that way too. He wanted to hug his brother and cry but that was not something a Black male was supposed to do. Showing weakness was a horrible thing, even showing slight vunerability was too but apparently the boys didn't care about that part all to much right now. Regulus was fifteen years old and barely had time to figure out anything with the pressure being put on him by his parents. If they even caught half a glimpse of their beloved son doing something they didn't want he would be yelled at and likely not talked to until he deemed himself right again in their eyes. He looked at Sirius when he started to mention the whole thing about marrying as sister if they had one. "I never said I liked that part of the tradition. I wouldn't want to do it either." He wanted to keep pureblood lines around and frankly he did share the views against muggles but that was because he'd never known a muggle or muggleborn that he'd liked so Purebloods were the higher. Or maybe that was his parents talking he wasn't sure. He just knew that his brother couldn't be like their parents.

Regulus looked into his brother's eyes when he looked into his. The words that followed the look made Regulus blink few times. "You don't upset me but...mom wants me to tell her everything you do wrong and I won't. That's the one thing I won't do for her and I ] haven't a clue why." He took a deep breath and stopped himself from saying anymore. Was he actually going to admit that he was protecting his older brother. No he couldn't do that it would ruin things but he knew the questions would come. He wasn't upset with his brother oddly enough he loved his brother for the person that he was exactly. Even with all the trouble he got into. He wasn't the problem really. Family was supposed to be important so the whole spying and ratting out just didn't fight with Regulus's view and yet it did with his parents. There were places that he would differ just it wasn't well known. He played it off as best he could.

The elder Black sighed, unsure what to really do with his little brother. The family tie, if he could truly have one, would be a strong bond. He liked Andromeda after all, since she didn't condemn him for his differing views. She was kind and he felt like he could really go to her if he seriously needed to. She was the only one, unless he could help Regulus out of this trap their parents had formed around him.

He stared down at the floor between them, not sure if there was really something worth saving. Had their parents turned him sour too much already? Was he too far gone? With his answer, he didn't think so. They think keeping the blood pure will keep us strong. I think it will weaken us in the end,

[/b] He said quietly. He thought that the diversity in blood would keep their magic strong, keep the worst from happening to the family itself with its inbreeding.

If only they would see that power was more important than blood. Hell, he knew a few half-bloods and Muggle borns that were bloody brilliant and earned their place in the wizarding world. So what if something a little less magical was in their blood? It didn't make them any weaker. It might even humble them, make them better since they knew what it was to live without magic.

He pushed such thoughts away and instead focused on the bigger issue of his own family issues. Grey eyes went wide as Regulus admitted to keeping his mouth shut and not letting Mother know what a rotten child Sirius could be. That was such an un-Slytherin like quality. It sparked a little bit of hope in him that perhaps there could be a relationship one day, a real one. Maybe Regulus didn't have to be considered an enemy.

Sirius took in a deep breath, unsure how to really try to bridge the canyon of differences between them. He was going to try if there was a clear ounce of good here. I think you need to act out a little more. I'll even get you sweets from Honeydukes if you break a couple of rules with me,[/b] He offered, his signature wicked smirk gracing his lips. He wouldn't bring little brother with him to the sweet shop, just in case, but a little positive re-enforcement of bad behavior could be tolerated./blockquote][/blockquote]

Regulus by nature liked to make everyone happy. He wanted a relationship with his brother but tradition was telling him it may never be possible. It was something he wanted for himself and yet it was hard because he was trying to make his parents happy. He just didn't know what to do and the fifteen year old just wanted his parents to leave him alone so that he could figure out what it was her really wanted an to be himself completely for once. There was still hope at the moment for him. He took a deep breath and curled up a little bit next to his brother and snapped out of his thoughts as his elder brother began to talk to him again.

Regulus looked at Sirius for a second when he started talking about the fact that keeping the blood pure might weaken them. Regulus had never thought of it that way but he sure as hell wasn't going to marry a cousin that had the name of Black or anything like that. Though most all the pureblood families were pretty much related in some way but some farther ten others. And there were purebloods in other regions that's what he had been thinking. However, there was the possibility that a squib would be born of a union with anyone he was closely closely related too. It was that knowledge that made him want to marry someone from a different area that was pure. He bit his lower lip while his thoughts went off with his brother's words. "I've never exactly thought of it that way. I mean i know what mom and dad think about it but I've never thought that it might actually weaken the family bloodline." He shook his head for a moment and continued to think of things.

He listened to Sirius tell him that he needed to act out more. He gave a shocked looked at Sirius. "Are you sure?" He asked his brother a little perplexed. He did do things that he thought was acting out with going to Parties but he never did much out of it. On the second thought he didn't get candy very often and the idea of that made him want to do something that would make his brother happy with him. So sure the boy he did like chocolate. He calmed his thoughts and just looked at his brother. "I don't want to go to the formal that would get me into a whole lot of trouble." He wasn't sure though.

This little chat was going places he never thought he would have gone with Regulus. This was not only civil, but he was actually learning things about his brother that he didn't know. While he followed after their parents, he did have a bit of Sirius in him. He was unwilling to follow them to the t and do everything that they said. There had to be something salvageable. If there was, he was determined to find it no matter what the rest of the family said.

He reached out and lightly patted his brother's arm. I've spent too much time fighting them not to think of it,

[/b] He said with a small laugh, trying not to hold onto this somber and very down beat tone their conversation had. While he wanted his brother to listen to him more than Mother and Father, being a serious Sirius was just not him at all.

The wicked look only increased as his little brother didn't seem to be entirely opposed to a bit of naughtiness. Well, this was a step in the right direction. They were verbally walking themselves into an area that he knew everything about. Trouble making was his life even if his marks suggested he spent more time studying than not. Oh, yes, you must do something bad. Every Slytherin does, little brother.[/b] This time he didn't hesitate in touching Regulus, mussing the other teen's hair a little.

Sadly, the ball might be mandatory, but feel free not to attend. I'll be taking a good deal of attention so I doubt your presence will be all that missed,[/b] Sirius said with a shrug. Given that he was going to the ball with Remus, he didn't think the younger Black's absence would be high on the list of priorities that night. He would be causing such a stir among the natives that Regulus could relax. That was then.

Pushing to his feet, the elder brother held his hand down to help Regulus up. Come now, Reggy. We have things to do.[/b] The tone suggested mundane, even innocent things to come of the night. The look in his grey eyes said the very opposite. Filch would have a mildly interesting night with the two brothers on the loose. Of course, that was only giving that Regulus would follow his lead. They would both see how willing he was to bend.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

Regulus hadn't even thought he'd be have a converstation like this with his brother. As a matter of fact he had never thought he would tell anyone what he nearly truly felt, let alone it be his brother. Sure he liked tradition and he followed his parents but he wasn't soft like Sirius thought he was he just wanted to make people happy in his own messed up sort of way. It didn't matter to him half the time if he was happy. But all the stress of this year and the fact that he'd spent so long attempting to make other happy. The youngest son of Walburga and Orion black was starting to completely just lose it. He wasn't sure what he wanted anymore and talking with his brother like this had opened his eyes to the one part that he wouldn't ever admit to his parents. The fact that he wanted a relationship with his brother even if he didn't fall into the line of the pureblood thought process. Even if he was a blood traitor. Sirius was blood and he was his older brother. Shouldn't he be able to go to him for help?

Regulus has Lucious to go to for help too, but Lucious wasn't blood. Not that that really mattered it was just nice to actually be civil with his own blood. He mentally shook off his thoughts for the moment and was brought back to the moment at hand by his brother's words. He gave a nod to the words about him fighting their parents so much that he couldn't not think of that. He looked at his brother for a moment. He wasn't sure if every Slytherin had done something bad but it was possible seeing as the way the Slytherin's were even with eachother. Stepping on toes and basically trying to kill people was not beneath them.

"I don't care if its mandatory or not. I don't want to go and so I won't" He really didn't care about the ball much. On top of that mandatory or not he had better things to do with his time. And no one had asked him which put a damper on things too. However, he knew that his parents were going to be there and his brother was going to grab the lime light. Something told him that though he didn't want to go he might not want to miss it. Part of him was sure he might regret that. Then again would it really matter, it wasn't like he wouldn't hear about it. On top of that in the presence of Mum and Dad he was sure he'd hear and ear full. Maybe even get the first howler of his life and that made him slightly giddy and he didn't know why.

He looked up and took his brother's hand. He got up and brushed himself off a bit and took Sirius' lead. He wasn't sure what they were going to do but hell it was going to be fun and it would likely keep his mind off of everything that neither of them wanted to think about. If they kept their parents and the views out of things then they might actually have a chance at a relationship to say the least.
