Sirius Black || Mother | Drabble
Wake up. Clothes on. One shirt. Two arms. One pants. Two legs. One foot, one shoe. Two feet, two shoes.
Find brother.
Brother’s asleep. Wake brother up. Help brother get dressed, he’s too little to do so on his own. Play with brother before breakfast. Have fun. Not too much fun. Too much fun is forbidden. Too much fun breaks things and causes mummy and daddy to get angry. Especially mummy. She doesn’t like when too much fun is had. Everything is to keep mummy happy.
Go downstairs. Eat breakfast that Kreacher cooked. Eggs and toast. Don’t like eggs. Eat them anyway. Don’t want mummy to get mad. Everything is so mummy doesn’t get mad. Finish breakfast. Want to play but can’t play because mummy found the lamp. The lamp that broke the day before. Mummy isn’t happy.
Punished.
Only five lashes this time. Five because that is how many years Sirius has been alive. One for each. One. Two. Three. Four. Five.
Punishment is over. Still no playing. Cried too much. Always crying. Need to stop. Stopping is required. Mummy doesn’t like crying. Mummy makes it worse when she hears crying. Daddy punishes because daddy doesn’t like to see mummy upset. Everything is so mummy doesn’t get upset.
Time out. Sneak out to see brother. Brother is sad because he isn’t supposed to play with his older brother. He does anyway. Older brother knows best. Older brother doesn’t know how to keep mummy happy all the time so he stopped trying.
Have fun. Ride toy broom. Little brother needs to learn how. Older brother teaches well. He has great patience. Younger brother crashes the broom. Mummy isn’t going to be happy.
Daddy’s turn to punish.
Five slaps. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. They hurt but not as much as the lashes. Older brother is glad he isn’t lashed. No belts. Daddy is easier. He just wanted to make mummy happy. No crying. Can’t cry. Can’t show weakness otherwise mummy will be mad. Don’t want to make mummy mad. Everything is so that mummy doesn’t get too mad.
No more playing. Time out until dinner.
Bored. So bored. Nothing to do. No brother to play with. Can’t sneak out. It is forbidden and daddy made sure it’s impossible.
Spin in circles. Get dizzy. Fall over. Jump on bed. Jump off bed. Make too much noise. Mummy’s angry. Daddy has to punish again. Everything is so that mummy doesn’t get angry.
Ten slaps and more time out. No dinner tonight.
Hungry. So hungry. Ask Kreacher for dinner but Kreacher won’t give dinner because mummy forbid it and Kreacher only wants to make mummy happy. Everyone wants to make mummy happy.
No one wants to make Sirius happy.
Bedtime. No sleep. Too hungry. Too hurt. Too sad. Too angry.
At least mummy is happy.
