Early August, 1988:

Sirius and Regulus waved goodbye at their mother, through the second-floor window. Walburga didn't wave back. Instead, she gave Sirius a warning look obviously saying "Behave". Sirius was smiling innocently. Of course, he would behave. Behave like the adult he was now. Nobody was going to control him.

Mr. Kreacher launched at the Black Brothers a terrible hateful glance while Walburga got into the car. Then he entered the vehicle himself. And when they drove away, Sirius let out a sigh of relief.

Walburga was travelling to Paris for the weekend. Some important event or something. Blah blah blah. Sirius couldn't care less. All he cared about was that he recently graduated from school and he wanted to celebrate. James and him would get his marks at the end of the month, but still. His exams had been easy. And Sirius was confident of himself.

"Finally, freedom, eh Reg?" Sirius smiled at his brother.

Regulus had just turned 16. Sirius reckoned he was in his mid-teenage years, when everything sucked for him. Reggie had been in a terrible mood lately. Right now, he was gluing his nose to the window, it seemed like he longed his mother already. Sirius couldn't understand why. Walburga was a nightmare.

"Mmm..." Regulus hummed "Every day is free for you and your whim"

"You're in a terrible mood, ha?" Sirius rolled his eyes "Fine. I was gonna invite you to come with James and me today, but better not. You will ruin our night"

Sirius started walking when Regulus spoke.

"You're going out? You're not supposed to"

"When have I done what I am supposed to?" Sirius smirked

Regulus rolled his eyes. Sirius walked to his room and Regulus followed.

"Sirius... What if you get into trouble?... What if something happens?... Are you not scared?... You now that mother wouldn't leave us without supervision. I bet she has someone spying on us..."

Sirius stopped to look at his brother. Regulus was talking too fast, moving his hands nervously and blinking hard. It often happened when he was anxious.

"Heeey...hey" Sirius put a hand on his shoulder "It's okay Reggie... Relax...Breath with me in... and out..."

Regulus pushed his hand away. "You are an asshole" he said "You think you're invincible, but you're not. She is going to send you to Dumstrang one of these days"

"Reggie..."

"And what I am gonna do without you? You're my only friend" Regulus looked down with tears on his eyes.

Regulus had problems at school. He had a severe fight with a lad called Tom Riddle. According to Reggie, he had been making his life miserable since day one. And he was tired, and now he wanted to defend himself. Regulus broke this lad's nose. Sirius had laughed and was proud of his brother. But it turned out that Riddle's father was important and Regulus was in trouble. Walburga decided to take Reggie off school and home tutor him.

"Hey, Reggie..." Sirius smiled "She is not gonna send me anywhere. I'll be by your side forever"

Regulus didn't answer. Sirius sighed getting to his room.

"I'm just going to celebrate with James..." he said "Get some drinks... meet some girls..." Sirius opened his closet, what could he wear? "And I'll be back in no time...Unless..." he looked at his brother "You wanna come with me?"
