"Come, on. Harry for bloody sake. You never tell us what is in that room." Ron said with hope that Harry finally would open out about the mystery room.
"I've already told you, we can't get in." Harry said with conviction, remembering how many times he did the same questions to Sirius and how he could never! Ever! Get in.
"Yeah, I'm curious too, Harry. What is it that not even Sirius allows you to see?" Hermione said also trying to investigate the mystery room.
"I've already told you, Uncle Sirius says no. So we are not getting in." Harry said crossing his arms with a serious tone.
"But, Harry come on. Your uncles don't need to know that. We could just take a quick look and leave, where's the harm in that?" Ron said now pushing a bit more Harry's curiosity.
"Come on Harry, it will be fine." Hermione said while she got up ready to go to the mystery room.
"What happened to the Hermione who would rather die, than break a rule?" Harry said standing up.
"She became friends with you two. Poor little me, If only she knew. " Hermione whispered while the three of them finally decided to go to the mystery room.
When they got there, they saw a normal teen room, it didn't have much, it had some books a closet and a desk, and you could tell no one had been there in a long time.
"Well, Hello to the most boring room ever." Ron said while sitting on the bed trying to find anything there.
"I think it was Sirius, brother's room. " Hermione said checking out in the closet seeing a little hole where they were hidden a few pictures and a sweatshirt.
The pictures that she picked up were a young brown-haired boy and an Indian one with glasses, hugging and looking at each other lovingly.
"Who are they?" Ron said seeing Hermione looking at the picture with disbelief.
"I think is Harry's dad and Sirius's brother. " Hermione whispered making Harry come from the library where he was checking this book and saw that picture.
"What? But my dad loved my mom." Harry said playing with the book. making a tape fall.
Ron grabbed and there was this sticker where it said " Brother, this is my truth"
"A bit dramatic isn't it?" Ron said showing them the title of the tape.
"I'm so confused." Harry said sitting on the bed looking at the picture.
"Ok, we need answers. I have an idea, what if we show this to Sirius maybe he can explain this? " Hermione said with a bit of nervousness in her body.
After a bit of debate, that was how it went.
"Uncle Sirius, can we talk?" Harry Potter said hiding something in his pockets with Ron and Hermione.
"What's up with the long face, kid?" Sirius said in a worry, while Remus held Sirius tight from down the table.
"We were bored, and we found a video, of your brother. " Hermione said placing her hand on Harry's back.
"We think you two should check it out. " Ron finished while he was still in shock.
"Uhm, yeah sure. We could check it out, right?" Remus said with a little smile.
"I guess so, let's see what the little bastard has to say for himself." Sirius said in a pissed tone while he grabbed the wine. They all five went to the living room where Hermione proceeded to put the tape in the old Tv.
While Harry sat on the couch beside his godfather and his boyfriend. Sirius was a bit nervous, he didn't know what he would find in there, while Remus tried to keep him calm. While Ron sat on the floor while waiting for Herms who finished putting the tape.

And there he was a young Regulus Black sitting in front of a camera with a bit of a nervous shiver looking both sides.
"Hi, what's up? I don't know how to start this. But I was wrong, brother. I was so wrong, but now I'm going to make it right, ok? I promise.
When I'm done you will be so proud brother, oh trust me.
This is just in case I don't come back.
I need to express myself. James, love I never meant to break your heart, I just want you to be safe. I love you so much, I'm sorry I could never say it.
Remus, I won't let you go down when this is over we'll be fine.
Lily, oh Lily I never meant to make you cry, I never meant any of this to happen.
I'll do what it takes to make this right brother!
Harry, I wish I could tell you this in person. You gotta hold on, hold on to what you're feeling. You gotta fight for who you love, love is the best feeling.
I know it well, it saved me.
Brother, I'm gonna place my bet on us, I know this love is heading in the right direction. You're so much brave than me big brother, I'm gonna make you proud. I want you to know If I died I'll die doing something good.
So in case, I don't come back.
I just wanted to say that I love you guys. And please take care of Kreacher. He can be like that, but he's a good house elve.
I'm gonna fix this.

No one knew what to say, Sirius was sobbing in his boyfriend's arms, Remus while he consoled Sirius he was going through his grieve on a different level.
Harry after seeing it for a second time, had so many questions, that for now couldn't be answered.
Then it got so worse, Sirius got up and then left while smashing the door.
"I go talk to him, don't worry guys. " Remus mumbled rushing out while following his husband.
Sirius & Remus.
"Love, wait, do you need anything?" Remus said going to their room seeing Sirius looking at a little picture.
"I need my brother back..." Sirius mumbled while crying, and tossing the picture aside.
"I know love, I miss Reggie too." Remus said going for the hug, while Sirius tried to get his husband out of his view, and tried to fight himself if it could.
"I could have done something Sirius, maybe he would still be here. James died, he didn't hear this, neither did Lily. It's so unfair, my brother deserved a better life. I feel such a shame for myself Monny, I thought he was a coward who couldn't stand up for himself, but he did. He was brave, and he did something. I feel like such a piece of trash, Monny. I don't deserve you, I don't deserve Harry." Sirius confessed with his heart on his hands, while Remus listened to him with such love.
"See, this is where we disagree. We messed up with Reggie, we couldn't help him. That it's a thing neither I can't forget. But we tried our best, and James was right about him if only we listened. But we can change it now, love. We can honor him. And stop saying these awful things about my husband, and you are a great father figure for Harry. Ok?" Remus said while getting closer to him, and Sirius just kissed him, in that deep love and passion that they shared.
"We should go back to the living room, I'm sure the boy has questions about his father and Reggie." Sirius now said with a bit more light, holding his husband's hand.
"Yeah, that should be interesting. " Remus said with a chuckle while they got there.
