!Trigger Warning! for mentions of blood

September, 1976

Mother sat with me until dinner, going down, eating, then bringing food up to me. She stayed until 9pm, when she left me to sleep and went to go speak with Father.

I fell asleep rather quickly, the deep sleep embracing me like a warm hug.

I was woken up the next morning by Narcissa jumping onto my bed, making me groan in pain.
"Oh shit" Cissy said, covering her mouth immediately, "Are you alright?"

"Am I?" I said sarcastically, sitting upright, sucking in a breath as my torso sits up against the bed frame. "Anyways, why did you jump on my bed at 7am in the morning?"

"Sirius and Reggie are here!" She squealed, as she jumped up from the bed.

"Wait, they are?!" I almost yelled, overjoyed with the thought.

"Yes! Now, you need to get out of your nightgown. Can you stand?" Narcissa exclaimed, grasping my hands.

"I think so" I say as I get up off my bed, "A bit sore, but I can walk"
I walk over to my wardrobe, Cissy following close behind.
(1)"Cissy, que dois-je porter ?"

"Ohhh," She squealed as she rummaged through my wardrobe, looking at all of my dresses. "How about this one?" She holds up a black dress with a neckline that would reveal my scars

"No" I deadpanned.

"Alright," She goes hunting for another dress, soon find one. "How about this one?"

Again, too low of a neckline, "Cissy, no" I sighed

Again, too low of a neckline, "Cissy, no" I sighed.

"Okay, okay. Last try" Cissy finds one more dress and holds it out for me to see

It was perfect! (2)"Oh mon dieu, Cissy, c'est parfait!" I clasped my hands together

It was perfect! (2)"Oh mon dieu, Cissy, c'est parfait!" I clasped my hands together.
I put the dress on, along with some simple black heels. After I changed my hair color from red to black with my wand, I put my hair in a bun that matched the dress.

Walking out of my bathroom, Cissy was waiting on the bed for me

Walking out of my bathroom, Cissy was waiting on the bed for me. When she saw me, she jumped up and threw her arms around me.

(3)"Belle, Calli!" She released her grip and started pulling me downstairs. As she pulled me down the hall, we both composed ourselves.

Walking down the stairs, We immediately saw Walburga, Orion, Sirius, and Regulus standing in the foyer. I contained my excitement, and walked over to the family, Walburga and Sirius simply hugged me, I shook Orion's hand, and Regulus kissed both of my cheeks.

"Sirius, Regulus" Walburga said looking at her two boys with cold eyes, "Go with Narcissa and Callisto"

They both obeyed, Sirius reluctantly, but nonetheless. We went up to Narcissa's room as it was larger and had a sitting area. When we reached her room, I basically flung myself across Regulus, wrapping my arms around his neck. He stumbled backwards at my actions, but reciprocates it, wrapping his arms around my lower waist.

"I missed you, Reg" I mumble into the crook of his neck, still holding him tightly.

"I know, Misa, I know" He whispered as he pulled away, bringing one of his hands to my chin. He kisses my forehead, and hugs me once more before pulling me down to sit down next to him on a couch.

"Wait" Sirius said in confusion, "Misa, where did that come from?" He looked at Regulus then back at me.

I sighed "Nickname, but neither of you are allowed to call me that" I pointed my finder at Sirius and Narcissa.

"Why not!?" Sirius whined, Regulus rolling his eyes.

"It's a nickname that only Regulus uses, no one else. If you want a nickname for me, use Calli." I said annoyed.

"It is, I don't want my brother calling her that either" Regulus said, throwing his arm over my shoulders, making me wince at the partly open wounds on my shoulders. Both Sirius and Regulus noticed this, both looking over at me with concern.

"Are you alright?" Sirius asks, glancing at me, then Reggie, and finally Cissy.

"Yes, I'm alright. I will be right back" I stand up, silently motioning for Cissy to follow me. Walking to the door, she follows swiftly behind me, and I lead her to my room. Slipping the top of my dress down to the bottom of my stomach, leaving my chest only covered by my bra and exposing my now bleeding wounds.

"Oh my, Calli, are you okay?!" She exclaims, moving closer to me, grabbing her wand. I shake my head and she mutters the healing spell, tracing her wand over my cuts.
"They won't heal all the way, it will leave scars. But I would think that is better than bleeding constantly." Narcissa smiles, pulling me in for a quick hug and helps me back into the top of my dress.

We go back into Cissy's room where the two Black brothers sit, waiting worriedly.
"I am fine, alright!" I say, lifting my hands into the air as I sit down, my legs touching Regulus.

We talk for hours until they leave to go home before the trip to Hogwarts tomorrow.
(4)"Bonne nuit, mon Callisto" Cissy says as she kisses my forehead and closes my door softly, myself falling into a deep sleep almost


(1)Cissy, what should I wear?

(2)Oh my god, Cissy, it's perfect!

(3)Beautiful, Calli!

(4)Good night, my Callisto
