*Sirius' POV*
The next day Spike and I were both in the dormitory, Peter and James still had detention, and yn and Remus were out somewhere together.
"H-hey Spike" I stuttered.
The boy looked up from painting his nails pink.
"Hm".
"What do you know about Sunny and Reggie" I asked quietly.
"I'm not s'pposed to tell yn this but they're datin'" Spike whispered.
"Did Sunny tell you about... everything" I asked cautiously.
"Yeah Soulmates n' stuff, I'm guessing you know too" said Spike.
"Yeah, hey listen, do you know anything about Sunny's magic" I asked.
"I-... Yeah" he mumbled.
"What is it" I asked eagerly.
"antiqua amissa magica" said Spike.
"That's Latin isn't it" I asked slowly.
"Ancient lost magic" Spike translated.
"And what does that mean" I asked.
"Long ago the ln family was a very powerful, very famous pureblood family. The problem was that they kept having squibs, who married other squibs, eventually building a nation. After a few generations, they forgot about magic, but the ln family always had many sons, no girls at all in fact. Fast forward three hundred years and our grandfather married a direct squib, making my father, and Yn's father also direct squibs, as they had magical grandparents. Our fathers both married disowned direct squibs too, though our mothers don't know that. With all this magical blood returning to the ln family, yn was born with magic, I was born a month later, also magical and Sunny, after her sister had restored the ln bloodline, was born with strong magic" Spike explained.
"So... Muggles are just the descendants of squibs then" I concluded.
"Yeah basically. Sunny's magic is strong too, because her soul is intertwined with a pureblood. Regulus Arcturus Black" confirmed Spike.
"That's really complicated" I sighed.
"Yeah, if you want to be technical, yn, Sunny and I are halfbloods" Spike explained.
"Who gives two flying frogs about blood status though" I pointed out.
"You're one of the few Blacks who don't, I'm afraid" Spike sighed.
"Believe me, I know" I said shaking my head.
Spike nodded, then went back to painting his nails.
"Hey... d'you think you could show me how to do that" I asked.
"What, paint your nails" asked Spike.
"Yeah" I asked sheepishly.
"Sure, what colour" asked Spike.
"Do you have red"
"Yep".
