Chapter Three - Loss and Reality

POV Walburga

Lost.

Cold.

Without knowing where the hell she was or why?

Because the very stupid had been upset when seeing her reflection that her first thought was to run away as she was with nothing, without a plan, and now where is she???

She didn't know what part of that city she was in either, but she was sure of one thing, and that was that she wasn't in New York because she didn't recognize any building or street, and she noticed that the houses were a bit old but with an elegant touch.

Her head hurt as if she had been hit, for some reason, she couldn't remember her real name but she was sure it wasn't Walburga Black, who the hell gives a girl that name she didn't like at all.

15 minutes later

- "Uf I don't understand anything, let's recap for a moment" - She said sighing defeated trying to put all her thoughts in order.

- "The last thing I remember was that I was working with my colleagues, checking the perimeter if there was someone suspicious, then there was a shooting, then I got in the way to receive the bullet and then everything was dark, so far everything was in order" - She said happily for later frown.

- "So if I had a chest hemorrhage that possibly pierced my lungs, how the hell am I not dead" - With frustration she began to ruffle her hair with both hands while our young lady asked herself many questions in another place there was a pandemonium, specifying in the Black old house.

.

In the Black mansion, all the members of the family debated what was the best solution to bring Walburga back to the mansion.

The first option the girls gave was to call the Aurors, they could track her down and bring her back. But his father refused because that meant they had to explain the situation they were in and that would lead to a scandal where he would have to reveal that Walburga Black was crazy, that would bring shame to his family so it was out.

The second option was to go looking for her themselves, the only detail is that they were not used to going to the Muggle world, and their children did not know much about that world either, since they had forbidden it due to their contempt for non-Magic and instead of looking for a missing person would have to watch and look for their children as well, so that option was ruled out as well.

The only other option that occurred to him was to trace her wand but it was immediately out because Walburga hadn't taken the wand with her without any further ideas they sat in the living room and waited and waited in a resounding tense silence.

Each one was lost in their thoughts devising a plan to bring her back without having to expose the situation they were in, but it didn't work, there was always something that put obstacles in the way.

In the room, It could only hear the sound of the clock saying tick-tock every time the seconds, minutes, or hours passed until Orion Black breaks the silence by standing up and capturing everyone's attention.

- "I'm not going to stay a second longer here without doing anything, I'm going to go look for her" - He said advancing to the exit door, putting on a coat and a black hat so as not to be recognized.

Immediately the rest tried to stop him.

- "But Orion you don't know the streets you would get lost in a two-by-three" - Alphard said.

- "I don't care if I get lost, I can appear up here at the mansion, I'm not an idiot, but I'm not going to waste another second because the one out there is my wife and the mother of my children."

- "You're right but I think it's better to wait for something to occur to us so we don't make unnecessary mistakes" - Cygnus said.

- "Wait and shit" - Orion and Sirius said at the same time surprising those present.

Sirius cleared his throat somewhat embarrassed and said. - "I agree with Father, we can't stay here doing nothing while my mother is outside without knowing anything about anything and besides the fact that she came out in her nightgown they will take her for crazy and besides that, there are perverts in the streets also drunks who can harm her"

Everyone was surprised by what he said well no one expects Sirius of all those present to care about Walburga Black's well-being.

Regulus, who heard everything surprised, thought that he no longer loved her, well, how he treated her would be logical, but Sirius was still worried even though he tried to prove otherwise.

He let out an amused laugh at the situation, earning his gaze.

- "You find it funny in the situation in which we find ourselves to make fun of it."

- "Ohh no no, don't get me wrong, it's just that I find it funny to see you worried about Mother that's all because I remember that once you said that you didn't care about her, right brother?" - Regulus said amused and relaxed, in order to embarrass Sirius.

Sirius, realizing what he had said, blushed a little and turned his face so they wouldn't see his blush, which they all saw and smiled thinking that he still felt affection for his mother.

- "But what are you saying? I'm not worried about that, it just annoys me that we're so silent, it makes me uncomfortable that's what it is," - Sirius said trying to excuse himself, something that no one believed.

- "Ohh that's how it is."

- "Of course, I'm never worried, that's impossible, you heard me, and stop looking at me as if you believed me when you don't" - Sirius said when everyone tried not to laugh at his silly excuse.

The others just tried not to laugh, as he said they tried but they couldn't.

Making Sirius more embarrassed.

- "Well I think we relaxed enough now we have to find a way to bring Walburga back to the mansion before something unpleasant happens to her."

- "Yes, but how we can't call the Aurors because they would ask us questions, you don't want us to go look for her because we don't know the muggle world and there is no wand to track What solution do you give me Cygnus" - Orion Black said desperately.

- "For now Orion calm down you are making everyone nervous, Regulus tell an elf to make a valerian tea to calm your father" - Cygnus said.

- "Yes uncle, Kreacher brings a valerian tea for my father" - The elf came instantly and did as requested.

As the elf did as ordered, an idea came to Regulus's mind where an elf could go for his mother.

- "Father I think I found a solution to bring Mother back" - That statement made everyone look up at Regulus.

- "So what are you waiting for, do it and bring your mother."

- "I will father wait, Kreacher" - He appeared immediately with a tea that was given to Orion Black.

- "Tell me, little master, how can Kreacher serve you?"

- "Kreacher you can bring Mother back to the mansion, Mother was the one who made the contract with you so you are linked with her you know where she is."

- "The Mistress is currently about 10 kilometers from here, although due to her condition, she is exhausted from running so much, her core is weak" - Said the elf.

- "Very well Kreacher you can bring her and if she doesn't want to come back you can make sure that nothing happens to her and if you see that she is in danger let us know immediately so we will go for her, you understood Kreacher but if you can convince her I would appreciate it" - Regulus said trying that Kreacher understood his instructions trying to appear relaxed when he was more worried about his mother but preferred that she come by her will and not by force.

- "Yes, little master Kreacher will take care of Mistress Walburga and try to bring her back" - And with that said the elf disappeared.

- "Very well Kreacher will take care of bringing her and taking care of her if she doesn't want to come right away so it's better to relax" - He said somewhat relieved because at least they would know where part of England was.

- "Regulus son is not that I don't appreciate the intention but can I know why you didn't tell him to bring her immediately!! You know what we are going through and you just tell him to take care of her and convince her to come back but that ridiculous idea fits in the head."

- "Father, you must understand that if she does not come by her will, she will escape again and repeat everything, we must not scare her, we must make her trust us."

- "Orion your son is right, losing your head won't get anything, instead, you should be glad we know where she is and we can go for her when the situation warrants it" - Alphard said agreeing with Regulus.

- "Calm down Orion, you don't help at all" - Cygnus Black questioned - "And Regulus I know you're young but that doesn't imply that you deal with the servants with such confidence" - He said contemptuously and with displeasure.

- "Emm sorry uncle but I don't understand what you mean, I just asked him to take care of my mother nothing else."

- "Exactly Regulus, you asked, you didn't order, that's what I meant, you need more authority to speak politely to an elf is a sign of weakness" - My uncle Cygnus said contemptuously.

I just looked at him without understanding the problem, I didn't do anything wrong for him to treat me this way. He may regret it later, but not now.

- "I don't see the problem, what's done is also my elf, I can treat it, however, I want" - Ready he said it and he didn't regret it.

Cygnus Black stood up and walked over to Regulus and slapped him across the face leaving a red mark due to his pale skin.

- "Have more respect, I'm your uncle and I'm not going to tolerate this type of behavior. I don't know what your parents taught you because it's not to be polite." - He said angrily at the impudence of his nephew.

- "Hey. Cygnus my son has been educated by his mother so don't talk nonsense and I don't have problems with him he's a good son so don't underestimate the education we give him, Regulus son apologize to your uncle, and let's forget this" - Orion Black said with indifference.

The truth did not matter to him how his children were with the elves as long as they are respected heirs.

I was just thinking why? His parents are like that with him or with his brother, he doesn't understand why?

When he sees other families being affectionate, smiling tenderly at them, the hugs, the kisses, the words of encouragement he hears when some parents go to a Quidditch match to encourage their children, nephews, or grandchildren, he does not have any of that, he does not have it he is very responsible, but he only feels empty when he sees his perfect grades, all of which exhausted him to the point of not being able to sleep, a scream brought him out of his thoughts.

- "Regulus I said apologize!"

- "I won't do it."

- "Sorry? What did you say?"

- "That I will not do it, I do not intend to do it."

A tense silence was present in the room.

Sirius just watched in silence, he already knew how his father would get if he didn't listen.

The girls watched from the sofa because they were already instructed that in a discussion of men, they should not get involved or at least that is what their mother told them, to be perfect with elegance and discipline (for Bella a tremendous stupidity)

- "I said apologize."

- "But father why should I apologize? I didn't do anything that deserves an apology" - Regulus says trembling.

The adults present could only see the interaction between father and son, one happy and the other uncomfortable.

- "Regulus I am your father and if I say that you apologize you will do it, without buts it is clear."

- "And I am your son and I tell you that I will not do it" - The last thing he said was the last drop that spilled the glass because his father silently stood up and went straight to him intending to slap him in his son's face already red from his uncle's previous blow.

Regulus just closed his eyes waiting for the blow to come. But that blow never came.

POV Walburga Black

With more calm, I try to reason logically about what was happening to me.

...

....

...

I said I tried not that it worked.

With no other choice and letting herself be carried away by frustration and anger, she began to throw any object within reach of her hand, making the alley messier than it was throwing the garbage on the floor and attracting glances from the people who passed by.

After throwing her tantrum about why she was there, she breathed relaxed and accepted that now that was her reality, obviously, she wasn't happy but did it matter, she couldn't do anything but adapt, she must think about her options.

Seriously how she appreciated her training, if not at this moment she would be like crazy telling everyone that that body was not hers, and if they would take her for crazy and take her to an asylum and no thanks for crazy people she already has her family dial who were The Blacks seriously if she was going to reincarnate or transmigrate because it had to be in that family with how idiotic they are because it was better not to put her in an unimportant family or at least not have magic.

- "This is going to be complicated, how the hell am I going to make all that family of snakes believe that I am the Walburga that they know" - She said, defeated.

She had to think very well about her movements, she did not want to die, much less to be taken as a crazy woman, a puff was heard at her side.

- "Mistress Walburga."

- "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a giant rat" - I screamed at the top of my lungs making people look at me worried.

- "Mistress Walburga calm down we can not attract attention" - Said the creature worried about the people who were approaching.

- "The rat speaks" - She stammers in disbelief as a rat can speak.

Then everything clicked for a moment she forgot that this was no longer her world. In frustration, she patted her face.

- "You're an idiot you're not at home anymore" - I whisper.

- "Madam are you fine, you want me to help you find your house" - I shook my head. - "Then I leave you with your permission."

The young man left but others also approached but these seemed like thugs.

- "But just look, we have here a young lady in a dirty place like this. Are you lost precious" - I shook my head - "Ohhh then how about we have fun for a while you know in private?" - I denied again - "Mmm it doesn't matter I don't think anyone sees us" - He licked his lips excitedly.

But what a disgusting man he started to get closer I was about to hit him in the balls when he was about to touch me he flew into a garbage can.

I watched as he flew out and passed out inside and as the lid was closed, surprised, I turned to where the creature had disappeared with his little arm outstretched.

- "Thanks little friend" - I said smiling.

He opened his eyes wide in amazement she could almost see his crystal eyes but he quickly pulled himself together.

- "It's nothing, Mistress, it's my duty to protect you, besides that Little Master Regulus told me to take care of you if someone wanted to hurt you."

- "Ohh they are looking for me?"

- "Everyone in your family is worried, Mistress Walburga."

- "Family ehh" - Letting out a sigh of nostalgia, it's been a long time since she said family in her phrases.
