Chapter Text
"You know Sirius, you're exactly like them." He didn't even yell which hurt because it was so genuine "what.." Sirius fucked up but he wasn't like them, was he? "I seriously thought you were different, I guess not. All of you blacks are just nasty, stuck up pricks" Remus really didn't care about what he was saying, or how bad Sirius would feel. He wanted him to feel the betrayal that Remus felt.
"You- you don't mean that.." he laughed "I mean every fucking word." Sirius let a tear fall before collecting himself "god. You really are a spitting image!" Sirius just put his head down "I'm sorry- I never meant to" his voice was quiet "no. You don't get to be upset! It's not my fault you are deranged like the rest of you blacks!" He turned around "don't talk to me or anyone. Just stay away from all of us." Then he walked off.
"Remus-" sirius held out his hand in attempt to reach him but Remus had already left "I'm so sorry" He cried softly.
A second year student walked past him "sir?" He wiped his eyes quickly "um- yes?" She looked up at him "why are you crying?" He smiled "I'm not- I'm just a bit sick." Her empathetic look turned into a stern face "I may be younger than you, but I am not stupid." He looked down "listen, I'm not going to open up to a little girl who I don't know" she thought for a bit, he was right, why would he tell a little girl why he was bawling his eyes out.
"I'm Gwendolyn, but you can call me Gwen. Now we aren't strangers" she smiled "and you are?" He hesitated "Sirius- Sirius black" she gasped "I know- but I'm not like my family, I think" she shook her head furiously "no! I've always wanted to talk to you, but I never expected to talk to you for this reason" he smiled at her, at least someone liked him still "really?" Gwen nodded "I love your pranks! And I have no friends-" he looked at her with a sad expression "and you're so cool and popular, everyone likes you and James potter. I want to be like you." He shook his head "no- no you don't, I'm stupid and messed up." She put her hand on his shoulder "we can be friends then!" Sirius smiled again "sure, I don't understand why you have no friends?" She looked down now, "I'm a muggleborn slytherin.." he took her hand "I'm my family's only Gryffindor, do you know regulus black?" She nodded her head "you're brothers with regulus?!" He nodded while raising an eyebrow "do you know his friends?" He nodded again "who are they?" She asked "oh- well there's, Barty- bartimus crouch jr, his dad is bartimus crouch sr, he's a ravenclaw. Then there Evan rosier, who is definitely hooking up with Barty or something. Then Dorcas meadows, she's my friends girlfriend-" "good for him, she's very nice to me" he laughed slightly "no, my friend Marlene McKinnon, she's dating Dorcas" Gwen's jaw dropped "that's so cool." "Yeah, then there's pandora rosier. Evan rosier twin but she's in ravenclaw too" "that's them! She's the one" he looked confused "she helped me when I was crying- I never knew her name" he chuckled softly "yeah, she's very kind." Gwen was beaming.
Sirius and Gwen walked around the castle until they got to the slytherin dormitory "here we are." She looked up at him "I don't like walking in the dungeon.." she took his hand "can you walk me in?" He hesitated but nodded.
He walked her up to the door. (Idk the slytherin common room) she said the password but it did not let her in "you filthy mud blood. You don't deserve to be in slytherin" she looked down as the portrait yelled at her "oi! You slimey git! Leave her alone" she slightly smiled as Sirius defended her "of course she's with you blood traitor." Sirius ignored what had been said and began banging on the painting "someone open this fucking door or I'm kicking it down!" And at that the door was opened.
"Sirius..?" Regulus stared at Sirius' angry face "regulus." Sirius never talked to him like that, always a silly nickname "go on Gwen" his tone changed with her "thank you" she whispered as she walked past, regulus moved aside for her to get past. "What are you doing here?" Regulus crossed his arms "I helped her. She helped me" regulus raised a eyebrow "how'd she help you?" Sirius went quiet "the real question is why you didn't open the door for her when this fugly man was shouting at her?" He pointed at the painting "I wasn't down there until I heard you say you would kick down the door." Sirius remembered that regulus and his friends, well pandora, helped her "why are you friends with a second year slytherin?" Sirius rolled his eyes "she doesn't have any friends so I'll be her friend." Regulus nodded "you can go now" he motioned for him to leave "alright, it smells here anyway" and he walked off.
He had forgotten all about what happened which really helped until he remembered. Now he was upset again so he began walking very slowly to take up time.
