From Eden - Regulus Black (Complete)

Chapter Twenty-Eight

PLEASE COMMENT SOMETHING. I HATE THIS SILENCE :(

PETER'S HEART

Perhaps the funniest thing Anne had ever seen was Sirius' disgusted face to the front page of the newspapers on the next morning, watching the moving picture where Bellatrix was waving with a blank face to the cameras and her husband beside her, looking happier than her by far.

"I can't understand!" Sirius was saying, he had been complaining for almost ten minutes. "How can anyone even think of marrying Bellatrix? I mean, take one good look at her and you'll understand. Disgusting! Absolutely a 10/10 to make me vomit."

"Let's not talk of vomit at the table, Sirius," Monty said.

"I'm sorry, but it's true!" Sirius insisted, showing the front page to the man beside him as if he hadn't read the whole paper already. "Look at her! She's crazy! Absolutely barking mad and she found a husband that actually looks happy to be with her. It's more than unbelievable, it's completely offensive that I'm single when she's not!"

James kept of laughing, complaining about not being able to eat with Sirius' disbelief being that funny. Anne was laughing as well, but she hadn't been surprised, after all, Narcisa did tell her Bellatrix would be getting married.

"You're just mad because you didn't snatch Remus yet," said James.

Sirius froze before turning to glare at James.

"What the fuck?!" he screamed.

"Ok, calm down!" Euphemia said, putting a hand on her head, she had a headache.

"Oh, come on, Sirius, we all noticed at this point," James said. "And you came out last year, everybody has been gossiping you two would look great together. Why do you think I called him over?"

Euphemia giggled, receiving a dirty look from Sirius as he tried to make her stop acting like teenage girl. Still, he now understood why Remus' things were to be moved to his room and not James' when Peter and him get there later that afternoon.

It was the day after the full moon of July, so it was certainly expected for him to be exhausted, so Sirius had already made his bed to let Remus sleep in it while he, James and Peter could make a mess outside, away from him so he could rest.

Sirius, trying to change the subject, turned to Anne.

"Are you going out today?" he asked.

"No," she answered shortly, sipping her orange juice. "Why?"

"Because we want to go out to a pub," James answered. "Don't worry, I won't let you drink too much."

"I don't know," she mumbled, glancing at Mia.

Mia nodded, urging her to go.

Euphemia was the only one to know she had somewhere to be on the morning. Regulus and her had agreed to meet with Severus on Hogsmeade's bookstore since the owner was Regulus' friend and certainly discreet, going as far as sheltering Regulus the day that he needed somewhere to stay after getting hit by his mother.

"It's not that early, but you need to leave tomorrow morning," Euphemia said. "Just don't stay out late and you'll be fine."

Monty raised his eyebrows.

"You're going out tomorrow morning? Do you need anything?" he asked.

"No, I'm just going to the bookstore, is nothing much," she dismissed.

Sirius did not let the conversation go that easily, grin appearing on his lips as his eyes narrowed at her.

"You're acting weird," he commented.
