SIRIUS BLACK: 20 October, 1971

[trickster_gryff]

 
Dear Regulus,

Sorry for not writing for so long, but things just keep getting busier here. Why haven’t you written back to me? You’d think that school wouldn’t be much fun, but the lads and I get along really well and even though we still have to go to lessons, it’s not horrible. Plus, the food is actually pretty good

What sort of things do the tea cups do?

Little Sirius is adorable, but *wibbles* that Regulus doesn't write back. Is mummy Black getting rid of the letters?

[trickster_gryff]

*shrugs*
Bite. Squirt tea at you. The usual sorts of stuff.

Thank you and yes... you have that right. Mrs Black is doing her "Motherly" duty, as it were.

[rabastanlestran]

Really? *wrinkles his nose* I didn't know tea cups usually did that sort of thing.

*pets Sirius* I feel so sorry for him and Regulus.

[trickster_gryff]

Most of them don't. Only some of them do - the fun sort. *looks him over* Don't you know how to have fun?

They are tragic little bunnies, aren't they? I so wish they could have had a chance.

*wibbles* I want Reg to get the letters. I do, so, so much. And sit with Sirius at matches and not hate each other and it's all so UNFAIR. :(

And I don't care if he never gets this. He wants his big brother.

*sulkily*
I did not get ill. You're making it up.

*hesitates*
*whispers*
What rude things?

[trickster_gryff]

Oh, I want him to, too. *snuggles and clings* Stupid Mother. *kicks her*

You are lovely. :)

*smiles*
Did too. And Bella got cross with you because of it. And you had bicuits hidden in your pockets.

*giggles*
All sorts of things. Better if you make them up on the spot. Rude puns on their names and that sort of thing.

[favourite_son]

*kicks her whilst clinging tightly*

♥

*looks shifty*
Did not. And I'm not a biscuit-stealer. Liar, liar, pants on fire!

*hushed whisper*
Have you been learning naughty words at school, brother?

[trickster_gryff]

*loves* :)

*affronted*
You did too. You always steal biscuits! Mother's always cross with you for crumbs in your pockets.

*conspiratorial smile*
Maybe. *bites his lip*

Uncle Alphard will comment shortly, but I want to squeeze Sirius first. Been very busy, but will make sure he fulfills his uncle-y duties.

[snakes_heart]

*stifling a laugh*
Sirius, you're right - Narcissa is a twit.

*whispers*
Just like her mum.

What about something to make her hair look bad? That would destroy her day.

*smiles sadly, knowing his sister-in-law is behind the undelivered letters*
You make sure you're a good big brother to Regulus, all right?

[trickster_gryff]

*eyebrows raise, mouth falling open in surprise*

*closes his mouth quickly, eyes going a little big*
*stifles a giggle with his hand*
That's a brilliant idea.

*bites his lip, expression going sad*
Yeah. I-- Yeah.

[snakes_heart]

Sorry, he still thinks he can have the set at this point.

[leavingforlove]

Oh, poor Sirius and Regulus. *wibbles* Things turned out so badly for them, and it didn't have to be that way. I think that's what really the most tragic thing.

*catches him up in the hall*

Hey there. Settling in all right?

[trickster_gryff]

I know! It really does make me awfully sad whenever I think about it for too long.

*stops and turns to Andromeda*
*smiles at her, clutching his books tightly*

Hullo. *scratches at his cheek*
Yeah. Alright.
*shrugs*
Lots of homework.

[leavingforlove]

*wibble*

Just all right? *grins* I don't need to beat up anybody for you, do I?

Ah, homework. How you will come to hate it, if you don't already.

[trickster_gryff]

*hugs*

*giggles suddenly, surprised*
No, I... Yeah. I like it so far. The boys in my dorm are fun. And I can't wait for the first Quidditch match.

*wrinkles his nose*
Already do. But it's not too hard.

[brave_phoenix]

*peers down at Sirius*
*smiles*
Hello, Sirius! How are you today? Surviving the first month-and-a-half of lessons alright?

I cannot get over the cuteness of your Little!Sirius icon. *g*

[trickster_gryff]

*looks slightly stunned*
H-hello, Sir. Erm.
Well, thanks. I'm... *nervous smile* Yeah, I... Hogwarts is really great.

*giggles* He's WAY too young, but he is so adorable. :D

[brave_phoenix]

*teasingly*
Sir? I'm not that old!
*winks*
You can just call me Edgar. Or Bones, whichever you're more comfortable with.

*grins*
Yeah, I think Hogwarts is one of the best places in the whole world. Do you have a favorite subject, yet?

*g* Yes, definitely too adorable to pass up, even if he's too young!
Out of curiosity, who is the actor?
Oh! I just noticed -- I think you may be missing tags?

[trickster_gryff]

Oh. Thank you, S-
Erm. Edgar. *grins back*

It's brilliant.
I like Dark Arts and Transfiguration best.

*giggles* He is awfully sweet.

The actor's name is Sam Fior and he was young Ichabod in Sleepy Hollow. This screencap is actually from that movie. He was too perfect to pass up since he was so great as a young Johnny Depp there, too.

Oh my goodness. *facepalm* Yes I did forget my tags. Thank you! LOL. I knew I had missed something when I was posting; I was sure of it!

Oh, and I had a question for you, too. I'm not sure how I might fit this in, but would you be opposed to Sirius possibly writing some letters to Edgar in later years? He seems suitably awe-struck to maybe consider seeking magical advice about stuff once Edgar leaves Hogwarts. No worries if not. :)
