Lucius entered the play room and saw it in a complete mess and started to clean up trying to work out where everything went but Len came over

"Luc? can I call you that?" he asked

"Yeah you're Galen right?"

"Yep call me Len don't worry about cleaning up we have a set time to clean up come play we can do anything as long as we don't hurt ourselves and each other that's papa's rule plus we have to clean up the mess if we play in the room regardless of who made what mess" he smiled

"Ok then" the two boys went off to play, well Len mainly Lucius would watch, Kam was on the climbing frame that was there hiding there again was being shy he had played with Lucius at his birthday party but he didn't really know the boy and after everything at the orphanage he was skittish with new people around

"Kam come down Luc is here to play with us come on!" said Len to his shy brother who kind of hissed down still hiding

"Kamari! that's not nice now come down and say sorry" he watched his slightly younger brother come down and stood in front of Lucius

"Sorry I hissed at you" and then he hid behind Len again knowing his brother would protect him which he always did

"It's ok it's nice to have a brother well any sibling to be honest I don't have any, my Mother died so I don't have what you two have it's nice to see"

"Oh why did your mummy die?" asked Kam

"Kamari that's rude to ask that, sorry Luc"

"Sorry Lucius" he hung his head

He smiled but when he was the Black brother's come in as well and both of them bruised he was frantic and ran over to them Tit and Tat had brought snacks up and got about healing both of the boys

"What happened?!" demanded Lucius and Len at the same time even though Sirius was older than then but only slightly they had somehow slipped into the big brother role, mind you Len was a bug brother

"Don't wanna talk about it" said Sirius as he led his brother other to the cosy corner that was there and placed Regulus on a pillow and grabbed a book and started to read to him quietly it was a surprise that Kam went over to listen as well Regulus attached himself to Sirius scared

"I lost my brother" said Len smiling he was opening up somewhat which was good in his eyes his brother was much too shy for his own good but he was slowly getting better after they left the orphanage

"We can we colour? if that's ok" asked Lucius to his new friend, well brother he hoped that they could for a while before they had to go home for some reason he felt more at home in this manor than Malfoy Manor and he didn't know why

"Sure what do you want to use? pencils? crayons? paint? felt pens? markers?" smiled Len

"What are crayons, felt pens and markers?" asked Lucius

"You'll see" he dragged him to the art corner that was tidy.... well for now

He got out the trays labelled and showed him the differences between the felt pens and markers and told him about the crayons being made out of beeswax as well as colouring Lucius was amazed at it all

"Are these from the Muggle World? Father wouldn't like me using Muggle things"

"Well yeah papa says we need to know about both worlds so then we understand everything and that we don't become bullies when we get to go to Hogwarts, I don't like bullies as me and Kam were bullied due to our magic before papa took us in" he explained to his new friend

"So you are a Muggleborn?!" he was shocked at it all and wanted to distance himself from them he knew the Black brother's were Pureblood more pure than the Malfoy line if he was honest

"No we were Halfblood until papa blood adopted us we are now Pureblood like you Lucius" he glared his eyes glowed somewhat like Errikos' did when slightly annoyed

"Sorry I didn't think someone like Lord Peverell would do something like that"

"Well you need to get your facts right before you say something like that" Len went about drawing a picture to put on the wall like he normally did as it helped calm him while Kam would hide on the climbing frame in his dubbed "quiet corner" it was normally where you would find him when he was stressed

"I'm sorry" said Lucius to Len again and sighed he knew he had messed up

"It's in the past now lets say no more on it all papa is higher ranked than the 28 families ok" Len looked up this time smiling slightly

"Ok" he too started colouring

In the cosy corner Regulus and Kam were listening to the story Sirius read it was again a Muggle book 'Little Red Riding Hood"

"I wike dis" said Regulus lisping as he talked it seemed that it would be a while until he stopped as he was only 4 years old soon to be 5

"What type of book is this? no Bibbitty Rabbitty and her Crackling Stump?" Sirius was shocked he was only allowed to ever read The Tales of Beedle the Bard or the family history books that bored him to death but his mother forced him to started reading them when he turned 5 and he hated it

"It's a book from the Muggle store we went to papa likes if we have both sides of the world, Magical and Muggle he doesn't want us to be bullies when we go to Hogwarts" said Kam as he went to look for more Ladybug Books

"Really? Mother would kill us for reading these" said Sirius and whispered quietly about her abuse

"Don't be I love reading them and the beginner potion books I'm allowed to make sweets from them they're all safe but only if papa is around"

"You do pushon?" said Regulus to him surprised he had a cute lisp

"Yep it's fun I can ask papa to help us next time you come over um.... what's your name again"

"Wegoowas" said Regulus to him

"Um..."Kam wasn't sure of what he said

"His name is Regulus, I'm Sirius by the way"

"Oh named after the stars cool my name means Moon"

"Yeah the Black's are all named after stars and constellations it's a tradition really we are also named after anyone else in the family my full name is Sirius Orion Black III, I'm the third Sirius to be born, I think Reggie is the 2nd not sure"

"Wow I like that we don't have anything like that here papa is protector I think, Len is Healer and I'm Moon" he smiled

Len and Lucius came over when Kam said that and sat down they were now in a little circle now Lucius really stood out with his white blond hair compared to the other four

"My name means Light my Mother and Father still call me Little Spark" he smiled at it all

The boys were soon chatting away Regulus had fallen asleep and so Sirius moved him to a little bed in the corner and covered him up smiling this meant that he felt safe here to just nap like that

"Um... why do I feel so safe here?" he asked the twins who looked at him not sure

"I feel the same and daddy curled into your papa and cried on his lap and then your daddy Sirius came and held his hand and he stopped crying but why?" he was so confused

"We don't know" said the twins at the same time making them sound as one

"Ok that's kinda creepy" laughed Sirius at the twins who smiled back

"You should wait and speak to Uncle Forge and Gred about it there always talk like that it's funny"

The boys spent the next hour or so chatting away and when their father's came up to get them after Abraxas woke up all three smiled all 5 boys were sleep in the cosy corner in a small pile Sirius' leg was in the air and Orion had no clue how it could be possible his oldest was very strange when he slept Regulus was curled into a ball holding a plushie but he couldn't see what

"Let's leave them for now, give them another hour before lunch" said Errikos as he closed the door to
