- Chapter Twenty-Two -
"Run away, Regulus! You're just a boy."Regulus Arcturus Black.
Elladora had never really spoken to the boy. She always saw him around, at meals, in the Slytherin common room. But her being her, she never went out of her way to converse with him. Sirius hadn't ever brought him up either considering their relationship, so the note she got was rather startling. It read:
Common Room. 1am
-RABIt was so vague, yet she caught herself reading it over and over. Why did he want to meet her? Surely he'd seen her around with Sirius and the others, not once had Elladora seen him talking to James, Remus or Peter. So why her? It shouldn't be clouding her mind as much as it was, but nevertheless, her inquisitive nature got the best of her. Normally she's straight to the point if she wants to know something, except for the fact that she hadn't seen Regulus for the rest of the day. Up until then.
"Sirius?" Elladora spoke into the silence, they were currently eating lunch and she had untouched turkey sandwiches placed on her golden plate with a still full goblet on her right.
"Yes, my lady?" Sirius replied, chewing on his ham sandwich. She gave him a pointed look, to which he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and asked her again. "Yes, my lady?"
"Your brother-"
"-is a foul git, yes I know, but carry on." He said. Elladora stayed quiet for a moment, she knew she could trust them, but Sirius doesn't have a good relationship with Regulus and what if this ruins theirs. She'd probably be miserable without his witty comments.
"He slipped me this note." She confessed after a moment, taking the paper out of her pocket and sliding it into the middle of the group.
The four boys peered over each other to read the messy scrawl, muttering the words under their breath in unison. Sirius pulled back first with a grimace on his face as he went back to his sandwich. Then James who didn't really know what to say. Remus had his eyebrows furrowed slightly and Peter looked confused.
"Don't." Sirius warned. "He's probably going to try and get you to succumb to his evil ways." He scrunched up his nose.
"Sirius, that's your brother." Remus shut his eyes whilst rubbing his forehead, like they'd had this discussion too many times to count.
"Could've fooled me."
"I don't know, Dora. Maybe you should." James shrugged whilst his friend sent him a hard look.
"James!" Sirius scolded, taking the note and scrunching it up whilst shaking his head. "He's not worth it, Ellie, seriously."
