Summary
Sirius looks rough. His robes and hair are disheveled and he seems to be shaking. If Arcturus looks closely enough, he might be seeing some blood. The sight scared the former lord and he was almost afraid to call his grandson. Melania seems to not have the same problem, however. She calls for Sirius as she rushes to his side.
Sirius seems to be shaken out of whatever shock he was going through. He looks past his grandmother to Arcturus. He forces himself to stand straighter, still unable to stop shaking. Arcturus takes a step forward and opens his mouth to tell him to stop forcing himself but Sirius interrupts him.
“I seek sanctuary!”OR
Instead of fleeing to the Potters, Sirius goes to his grandparents. Arcturus, who values family above all else, does something about it.Series

Summary
Even now, as he walks the halls of his childhood home, Orion remembers the pain they’ve caused them. Sirius seems to believe it’s not real. He searches for tricks in the very walls of the house, as if Arcturus will jump out and attack them. Sirius keeps himself small and subtly hides in the rooms. Orion wonders if Sirius would hide in his bedroom if he would not get too bored.
Regulus just looks lost mostly, as if the show has gone off script. He seems confused when his grandmother asks him about his day and insists on hearing his literary rantings. Regulus follows his brother more often than not. Orion thinks that if Regulus could become Sirius’ shadow, he would.
Orion so desperately wants to help them. He wants to comfort them and reassure them that Walburga is not coming back but he doesn’t know how. For their entire life, he has been a puppet. He can’t even remember those years clearly. His memories of his sons are like photos piled into a box, moments throughout the years without order or reason. He can’t help them.Series
