"I'm going to be dead once I enter, say goodbye to me being a prefect or head boy." Arthur was freaking out, he did not know how to handle this, he kissed Regulus Black. Everyone but his own blood were scared of Regulus well them and the other death eaters, though even those in higher years were scared.

"You will be fine, who cares if another Black feels poorly of us?" The words stung from his mother, their family had been trying to gain the allegiance of fellow pureblood families for a while at this point, this would only set them back further, all of his father and mother's work would be lost. 

"Maybe his family will convince him to think otherwise, remember that girl we meet years ago at a convention deary? She was a Black and a nice one at that." 

"Of course, she was always so kind, I wonder why she stopped going." Arthur had heard rumors of the strictness of the Black family, some said that if you married a non-pureblood then they would behead them. However, Arthur never believed those tales, then when seeing how the current students in that bloodline where.

Sirius was a known fighter, he wasn't a bully, but if you were on his bad side, a broken nose and healing spells would be involved.  Regulus was the opposite, much more hostile then his brother, Arthur has never fallen victim to him, somedays his crew would choose those near him, but near him. 

He left the room into his bedroom, letting his parents talk about their memories of past conventions. He had enough thoughts in his head to keep him busy, he had expecting parents, however, he did not want them to find out this way, he wanted to sit down with them, though with most things, he didn't get his wish. 

The train was always crowded, there was no way around that until you got into a seat. Arthur has always sat with his friend Lucas since before they were sorted, luckily for them both boys were sorted into Slytherin and shared a dorm room.

"Art!" It was a loud yell that caused many to look in his direction, he pushed through the crowd into the seat, he slid the door shut not wanting any unfamiliar faces with them.

"How was your summer?" Arthur couldn't say what happened not even to his best friend.

"Got with a guy for a week or two, bout' it." They talked about their summers and future plans for the rest of the train ride, Arthur would always look through the door to see if someone was watching him. Seeing if Regulus had sent someone or himself to spy and gather dirt to be used as blackmail.

Regulus sat hunched back in his seat, listening to his mindless friends, talk about mindless activities and subjects. He wanted to find that boy, smack him up a bit, then maybe try to get his brother and his brother's friends on the poor boy. He could make up a simple lie quickly, say the boy made fun of Lily, then watch it unfold through a window. He much preferred sitting back and watching it happen, though he didn't mind getting his hands dirty.

"Are your parents allowing you to stay on the quidditch team, Johnson?" Regulus asked, Julien Johnson was the best chaser Slytherin has had for a while, due to OWLS this year, many parents were pulling their children out if it was relevant to them.

"Yeah, they almost took me out when Black broke my arm." Regulus snickered.

"Don't worry about my brother, he's not playing this year, told my mother that he was causing me to feel weakened during our matches, you can see which boy mother favors." As little as Regulus wanted to admit it, his brother was more than a decent beater, Sirius wasn't a great player, but he was better than some of the team. Getting his brother off would increase their chances by a lot, especially since Hufflepuff's star players graduated last year.

He looked out the window and saw the castle approaching a, he still needed to change and would prefer to do it without seeing the boy from summer.
