Deep among the hidden items in the Room of Requirement, Draco sat on the stone floor with an open book on his knee, and a piece of broken charcoal in his hand. The boy who appeared before him was dazed and confused. He had dark hair, rather handsome features, and strangely familiar gray eyes. He looked to be around the same age as Draco, or perhaps a year or two older. As his mind seemed to clear, his eyes narrowed into a hostile expression. “Who the hell are you?”

Prompt:

Draco Malfoy, freshly scarred from the Dark Mark and feeling more frightened than ever before, begs the universe for someone to help him. He doesn't expect to see his long-dead uncle Regulus Black, looking just as surprised to see him.

Five victories and an offer he couldn't accept.

Prompt:

Something about Regulus and Quidditch! We know he played Seeker for Slytherin and...that's about it. What was he like as a teammate? An opponent? Did he follow professional clubs or national teams? Is it something he bonds over with other people? Take it too seriously when there are really more important things to worry about?
