It had been the given few weeks and the given student body was given the option of staying or returning home for the holidays. However much Sirius wanted to stay at Hogwarts there was no part of him that wanted Aurora and Regulus at home alone with their parents.

However it was very surprising to see how beautiful Aurora looked for the holiday, she was talking a lot with Cissy and sharing pieces of her sketches. And it almost gave the boy a heart attack for his sister to share their master plan. But in reality, it was a designing sketch, probably where Aurora's creature outlet escaped to.

The two of them swapping and gawking at their ideas and all that pressed for a rather large concern. They weren't at their manner this time, they were instead at the Malfoy estate. Filled with tables of food, music, decorations. The pureness made Sirius sick to his stomach as he knew far too well that the blood in this home was too deep in the carpet to clean.

Or in this case mask with festive delight, even if the peacock in the front yard was given a green charm to him.

Sirius always hated the fucking thing.

"Cassiopeia why don't you go and dance with some of the people from school." Rory attempted to hide her pout while Narcissa hid the entire expression of her cousin in general, so she nicked the girl's attention to Rabastan and his mates.

"What a wonderful choice Narcissa, you're brother will join the floor in a moment." It was then that Orion had wondered what the given pieces of paper that his daughter was showing his cousin. And was pleasantly surprised by Cassi's sudden interest in fashion and design.

"When we went to Diagon Alley, the dress she is wearing now...I simply wanted her to find her style and here we are. She looks beautiful Orion. And look at that, Rabastan has his eyes already on her." That sparked something in the father in the instant. Whether it had been a protective stance or a regretful response to tell his daughter to go and dance with someone already infatuated with her.

"Relax Orion, they are friends you know...And from my last year at Hogwarts, they had a study plan." That brought at least the given hint of a smile, but it had the father turn a watchful eye on the youngest Lestrange.

"She's isn't sporting her colors, I wonder what she would look like in green?" Rabastan had regretted telling his mates about his fancy to the middle Black heir. It was one thing to hear their comments, but when they knew that he agreed with most of them it damaged his entire working mind and to cause a daydream.

The girl had been given a very beautiful silver dress, going along with the festivities but not wearing either of her brother's houses as it wasn't her own. But his glance connected with her's and in due time he realized she was on route to him.

"Seems like she's coming to join us...Are you prepared Raba...?" Avery hummed knowing full well how he loved hearing her call him that. So when the faithful little tap on his shoulder appearances her turned around.

"Rory...Y-you are looking beautiful this evening." She smiled brightly up to the Slytherin friend. "Then would you join me for a dance then?" Once again it took him off guard, he's danced with her before but when they were younger.

And he never saw her like that.

But now with her hand leading him to floor filled with people before stopping and turning around. "I hope I didn't interrupt your chat with—" 

"They were talking rubbish, are you enjoying herself?" She nodded in delight, and thus it began the constant teasing and him determined to mess up her movements.

Sirius had caught a glimpse of this as he was talking to his Uncle, gritting his teeth and attempting to silence his anger. But it was all too easily noticed by Alffie. Sirius did not like the sickness growing in his stomach at the mere glimpse of seeing Rabastan holding his sister like that.

Regulus had joined the two males and Sirius had upped the stakes. "Reg go and ask Rory for a dance." He ordered, and although the boy was confused but did as he was told as it made lying all the more easier if he didn't know the truth.

Instead he tapped Rory's shoulder and pouted. Knowing that always worked. "You promised a dance." So the girl cups his cheek and promises the next one that follows.

Rabastan had caught Sirius' glare and knew that he had to be a bit careful on how he acted with the girl in his arms. But her pureness, her smile...Merlin her smell had always been on his mind.

And yet the song was soon finished and Rabastan had taken the opportunity to walk Aurora to her brother for that promised dance. "I'll find you later, we'll go on that walk." She nods off behind her with a last smile before going to take that dance.

Regulus never understood that the plan was to keep her away from the elder Slytherin of his class, so when he returned empty-handed. "Where's Rory?" 

"She took a walk with Rabastan, w-what? Why is—" Sirius groaned and explained the situation, how he didn't like Rabastan near the sister and that left Regulus in the crossfire.

"Why not? I mean I know his mates give him a lot of nagging about it but why—" That had Sirius change the entire direction of the matter, he was gaining proper information and thus settled the dispute.

Rabastan Lestrange fancied their sister. And Sirius be damned if he could ever allow that to happen.

So when it was time for the party to come to an end, Aurora returned from the porch. But it was the given whisper that he had given her, he merely wanted to continue the conversation by exchanging letters is all.

But Sirius knew all too well the cues of a man who wants more. If he ever caught them snogging he'd need the perfect spell to make sure it never happens again.

So with his own mission tonight he tried to ignore the raging fuel of Rabastan giving a small kiss to his sister's cheek as he watched her return to her family.

"See Lestrange gave you a lil goodnight kiss..." He teased, but more so in warning on her own behalf. 

"He was being polite Siri...Sod off will you." Her hiss of a reaction as she nipped his ear down for him to be leveled with her mouth.

Her brother never took her for the violent type but when it came down to it all she could be very demanding and very fierce...Cat.

If Sirius had to describe his sister's attitude in one word it defiantly would be a cat. Always calculating and somehow always managing to land on two feet while doing it.

By the rate Sirius was going, Aurora took to the naming of the dog star as perfectly as could be considering a mutt if anything. The way he changes from girl to girl is exhausting to even think of.

Yet they worked together harmoniously, especially when Regulus had been asleep. It was usually then when Sirius sneaks into her room, but this time they had Rory's personal fireplace while focusing on the redesign of the boy's map.

Their sloppy mess had been too much for her so she decided to restart but use it as a proper reference. "You know you never asked why we want to make this map..." Aurora had stopped for a moment and looked up.

"Sirius I have known you my entire bloody life, and after everything with your mates. I tend to stay away with the questions and just let it play out...Besides, if this gets you to stop having detentions then it works out." He chuckled and continued to throw the mini Quaffle into the air, his back had been on the floor while Aurora had her stomach planted to it.

She had been wearing Ravenclaw Pajamas as her hair had taken the better of her entire back, she had finally been able to relax. Especially with the mug of hot coco that Kreacher had brought.

"So what'd you and Rabastan talk about...I'm sorry, what did you and Raba talk about?" Rory scrunched her nose and shrugged. "School and the last game we played...Oh and he thanked me for the Christmas gift I got him." Now the boy really frowned as he started to sit up.

"You got him a gift? What did you get him?" The girl was taken by surprise as she shrugged and said that she had gotten his what she usually does and it struck him as odd.

"You got him bloody tickets to—" 

"Well mother and father wouldn't allow me to get tickets for you Siri...That was my first thought but then I thought you would like the other..." He'd upset her as she thought for a moment that he didn't like the gift he got.

And with her body attempting a shift and all that she looked away and started cleaning up. "Wait Rory that isn't what I meant." He spoke and she shrugs as she continued to do her task without any word.

"I'm gonna go to bed...Goodnight." She spoke, going off to her bathroom as she would hope he would leave, but Sirius had lingered in hopes of fixing the situation.

However when Aurora finished the face wash, but as her eyes flashed for a moment she jumped. Itching her face closer to the reflective glass as wiped her eyes again with the towel in hopes that they would go away.

But they hadn't.

This was why her eyes had been acting strange, these were her animaguises eyes coming out into her human for.

Blinking again and again, she smiled. Especially when she heard the creak of the floorboard in her room. It was Sirius still about, his cologne stinking up her nose as she was suddenly met with a sneeze.

"Bless you." He spoke through the room and she huffed. 

"I rightly remember you have a nice bed of your own Sirius." She spoke, tilting her head and making sure her eyes didn't look up as she pretended to clean her glasses.

"Rory I'm sorry I just—I hate that bloody family just as much as—" 

"As ours. Yes, you practically shout it at every rooftop of Hogwarts...Just get in the damn bed." She spoke, taking her side and shutting of the lights and enacting the solar projective before settling into her pillow.

Sirius too had joined her but found himself sitting up and looking down at her. "I don't want to hear you saying that to any bloke." She giggled into her pillow.

"Why would I want a boy sleeping in my bed?" She innocently responded and rolled her eyes at playing with her innocence. Of course she knew what sex is, especially since the Ravenclaws in her house were VERY open to their study of potions and spells to...Let's just say boost the sensations.

Yet her knowledge herself only steemed to the idea of it, her entire team was all males for goodness sakes. Most of her friends were males at that, the idea of them gawking at gals arses and breasts just proved mother's words to be correct, and a part of her still kept to the eating regimen that Walburga had set in place.

"R-right...Yeah, I was just messing you. Night Rory." She smiled to herself as Sirius shut off the last light before finding a comfortable position on his stomach, something he had always preferred even as a small child.

Aurora had a theory that Sirius has already had sex. He was older than most of the third year class so it wasn't impossible but it wasn't unlikely either.

However Sirius was gritting his teeth, he did not need to watch his sister out of everything. Her being clueless was one thing but now he needed to enforce that any mate be damned to go near his sister.

No matter their age, their friend status with her or if they were the nicest boy on the planet. No boy was allowed to go near her, especially Rabastan.

Most importantly Rababstan. There was just a vibe, and perhaps it was just because of his sister in law being their cousin...It was a recipe for disaster.

So by morning come did Sirius relay his situation of Rabastan perhaps fancying his sister and James was in a rage in his own house. Which his parents had no understanding of what he was muttering about the entire day, James Potter found Aurora Black as more than a friend. A sister as she was more or less Sirius' twin.

Looking at the two side by side it was obvious that they were related, but their cues were as if a mirror couldn't do them enough justice. Especially when Sirius started to grow out his hair further down to his shoulder, Aurora had voiced that she liked it and it reminded their of his younger years so he allowed it.

And Sirius did it because of how much it enraged his mother.
