"No I follow because I know if I don't I'd be screwed, i've seen what happens to those who don't...and I don't wanna die." 6th year, Pureblood,Slytherin.

sirius wasn’t surprised when his brother kept insisting that he would be fine. they BOTH knew it was a lie. with a sigh of his own, he got up, standing in front of his brother. for a moment he hesitated, not sure what he should do next ; hugging regulus.. he wasn’t sure about his brother’s reaction, even though it was something he’d wanted to do for a long time now. “ ━ NOT when you still live there,” he commented, placing a hand on his shoulder. “come live with me when school is over. you must’ve heard that uncle alphard - he left me some gold. and a flat.” there was no chance in hell that regulus would even consider his offer, but it was worth a try.

“mother doesn’t have to know,” he said with a shrug. but his brother was the better son than he ever was. sirius barely remembered what was it like to … actually listen to his parents, do as he was told. that was the difference between them.

His immediate instinct was to reject such affection, but even Regulus had to admit he’d needed a hug from his brother and he wasn’t getting any affection at home not from their mother or father anyway. Wrapping his arms around the older’s frame, the younger let out a small sigh shaking his head; Maybe Sirius was right, he wasn’t ever going to be okay while he was there...but for some reason Regulus felt a need to be loyal to his family even if what they were doing wasn’t great. “I know...” the darker haired sibling replied, pulling back to look at his brother even with such an offer Reg as much as he wanted to accept...just couldn’t. “Sirius, you know I can’t. Even if I wanted to...but that’ll be nice for you. Actually having a home of your own.”

“She’d find out and as always, i’d be even more restricted in what I could do-She wants me to get the mark you know, before I turn seventeen.” his words in more of a whisper at this point as he’d completely pulled away from his older sibling. “I’m terrified, not that she cares about that. The only person who cares in the house at this point is Kreacher and you know how he can be sometimes.”

Regulus wasn’t even sure why he’d told his brother, other than to simply talk to someone who wasn’t expecting it of him; someone who’d try and talk him further out of it. Although at this point Regulus imagined there mother would pin him down and force him to get the mark regardless of his answer.

he raised a brow when his brother seemed to hesitate for a moment, and it worried sirius. but even if there were something wrong, he had no right to ask ( he would ask anyway, to show regulus he STILL cared ; he really did ) or reg wouldn’t trust him enough to tell him. he ran a hand through his hair, watching the younger black carefully. “ ━ it’s not fine,” he commented, sighing. yes, he knew mother, what was she capable of, but… there was nothing he could do about that, about her. sometimes he regretted leaving his brother behind to deal with her alone, but he wasn’t happy there. he was TIRED of the fighting, of the yelling. he hated feeling like a fucking outcast in his own home.

“mostly just with james, yeah,” he nodded with a small smile. “it was alright. the potters.. they’re great, reg. you really should meet them sometime.“

[regulusxblackhq-blog]

Sometimes the younger sibling resented Sirius for leaving, letting everything including mothers pain and expectations land on him and other times Regulus simply understood-no he wasn’t going to ever leave like Sirius did and maybe that proved how weak Regulus really was but he still understood. So much so that he even respected Potter, mainly for giving his brother a better home; a home that wasn’t filled with arguments and hate. Letting out a single sigh, Regulus shook his head “I’ll be fine, Sirius.” A lie that Regulus had been telling himself since the day Sirius had left.

“I’m glad they are...I guess most things are better than what you were dealing with before.” He spoke, simply trying to avoid the fact it had once been their family home once, because as much as the younger hated to admit it, it hurt a little.

“You know I can’t-Mother would’t allow it.” God how he wished he could meet the people who were making his brother happy, not have to avoid every conversation he possibly could with his older brother and anyone associated with him.

Regulus now had to deal with his mother’s wrath alone; Sirius being gone only meant that even more pressure would be placed on the younger less stronger sibling now.

Regulus recalled the night Sirius had left, how he had watched his brother slam his trunk closed, how their mother had bellowed in anger and how Regulus so badly wanted to stop his brother leaving but even he had to admit...it was better for Sirius to be elsewhere. So Regulus felt alone for a while, unsure of those he could truly trust.

Rabastan was his friend now, someone he ran too in times of need and yet again this was a time of need. 

Hoping the other wasn’t busy, the youngest Black sibling approached his friend and raised a small brow “Can we hang out now?”

“Well, you look like you’re having the time of your life over here. I dare say, Regulus, it seems like you’ve gotten even more lovely over the summer” Cielo could tell that the dark haired man was not looking to be disturbed, however, Cielo was never the type to respect those wishes. Especially when they themselves were looking for a distraction.  

[regulusxblackhq-blog]

“Perfect, just bloody perfect.” Rolling his eyes, the younger Black sibling looked towards the voice and shook his head-he wasn’t in the mood to be disturbed. 

“Oh haven’t I just, everyday I just get lovelier and lovelier. I’m surprised anyone can handle it...now is there a reason you wanted to annoy me or?” Running his hands over his face, looking towards the female with nothing more than an annoyed expression and risen brows.

[xmocnyis-deactivated20220522]

sirius looked up when he heard the familiar voice, for a moment thinking he’d imagined it. but no, it was indeed regulus. and it was ridiculous how EXCITED it made him that his brother talked with him voluntary. “ ━ nice to see you, too, reg,” he replied. it has been.. a while, but reg seemed well, and that’s what mattered. “was the summer alright?”

[regulusxblackhq-blog]

Regulus knew he could answer this in two way’s, tell his brother the truth; how he was terrified because mother had insisted on Regulus receiving the dark mark before he turned seventeen and how he had missed having Sirius around. Or he could lie, tell him his summer was perfect and not a thing could have been better...

Letting out a small sigh, as he turned his attention directly to his older sibling Regulus took a moment before nodding “Yes, it was fine. I mean you know how mother is but it’s fine.” He had Kreacher at least, his friend and house elf; it wasn’t perfect at home but in the times when he felt sad, Kreacher had snuck him treats from the kitchen...Regulus only wished that mother never found out because otherwise Kreacher would be punished.

“How was yours? I assume you spent it with Potter and that little group of yours or am I wrong?” Raising a brow, rubbing his own eyes for a moment.

[emmeline-thedancer-blog]

Gladys gave Regulus an apologetic smile. “If I promise to watch myself next time, do you promise not to hold this time against me?”

[regulusxblackhq-blog]

“I suppose, for once i’m in a forgiving mood. Don’t assume this will be the case next time though.” Shaking his head before he simply shrugged.

“you are very much right.” hands flying to her face as she tried to rub the irritation from her eyes. the student that was rambling took it as a sign to leave – scrambling down the hallway as emma turned towards the youngest black. “you know how much i hate listening to someone else go on and on.”

[regulusxblackhq-blog]

REGULUS BLACK:

“Yes, nothing worse than a person who talks about themselves too much.” Regulus gave a small chuckle, taking a seat as he watched the brunette with an amused grin.

“So Emma, how was your summer?” The youngest Black sibling surprisingly preferred listening to other peoples story about summer, mainly because his was never at all fun-he’d rather not talk about his overly pushy mother who had lost one son already and expected way too much of Regulus.

✰. —— andromeda had been reading peacefully on her own when she heard the footsteps of another approaching. shifting her weight in her seat, she sighed. on her day off from schoolwork and clubs, the middle black sister had no intentions of interacting with anyone she didn’t have to that afternoon, for her plan was to finish her leisurely reading and enjoy the weather in the northern courtyard. keeping her face neutral, she turned to face the person walking right at her. “is there something urgently pressing that needs me right this moment?” she asked curtly, removing her glasses and setting them on the cover of her novel. “because, if not, i don’t care to be disturbed right now.”

Family these days were little and far between for Regulus, so in the short while that he didn’t have his mother’s gaze burning the very back skin of his ear, the 6th year was going to check on his cousins and yes even the ones who by the eyes of his mother weren’t family anymore.

Letting out a low groan, the younger shook his head and scoffed “Is this how you treat family?...if so I’ll be on my way.”

[screechingxlilies-deactivated20]

“will you STOP rambling? i swear my ears are about to BLEED from this very one-sided conversation.” annoyance flickered in ebony orbs as it rolled upwards. “i know i made the mistake of greeting you, but how much longer are you going to go on about your summer?”

[regulusxblackhq-blog]

The dark haired Black child had wondered what all the complaining was about, letting out a small chuckle as he spotted the brunette locks of one Miss Vanity. 

“I don’t know what the hell I've interrupted, but from the sounds of it you’re not having much fun Vanity.”

[emmeline-thedancer-blog]

“New year, new me. This year I am no longer Davey’s baby sister or Galvin’s baby sister. I am my own person. I will make straight O’s and I will be–” Gladys stopped dead in her tracks. “Oh, I’m sorry. I wasn’t watching where I was going.”

[regulusxblackhq-blog]

Letting out a groan, the dark haired Black simply shook his head “As always, I’m unsurprising. Watch where you are going next time, yes?”

“i don’t understand how people are able to teach first years. i saw their flying lesson today, and it just stressed me out way too much. at least five of them almost fell off.”

[regulusxblackhq-blog]

“I hate first years, even the ones in my own house. I’m not complaining at all when watching them fall off their brooms.”

[xmocnyis-deactivated20220522]

only a few days passed since the new school year had began and he was already tired; for some reason sirius thought it wouldn’t happen until at least a month or two before the n.e.w.ts, but he was wrong. he decided to find a quiet hallway and settle on one of the benches to get some rest before his next class but this plan didn’t last long as he hoped, considering the fact he wasn’t alone anymore.  “ ━ please leave if you’ve got nothing IMPORTANT to say.” he sighed.

[regulusxblackhq-blog]

“That’s how you choose to speak to your own brother, huh?” the dark haired younger sibling had spoken, looking towards his older brother with a blank expression and risen brows. If this had been anyone else he would have given them a death stare but, even if he wouldn’t say it, Regulus still cared about his older brother.

[norightorwrongway]

“So I went to the edge of the forbidden forest today, and at least three centaurs ran past me. That was pretty awesome.” 

[regulusxblackhq-blog]

“You wanna watch it Gryffindor, I hear not everything in that forest is so nice...” Regulus spoke with a hint of sarcasm, rolling his eyes for a brief moment.

[regulusxblackhq-blog]

That was the thing, Regulus was doing everything in his power to be the perfect child that his parents wanted;running himself into the ground, trying to be top of his class. It wasn’t healthy and regardless of what anyone thought Regulus cared.

Letting out a small sigh, the dark haired Black sibling headed to take a seat in the courtyard, leaning back and closing his eyes as soon as he found the concrete bench beneath him-he hoped no one would disturb him but even he knew that was an impossible request, instead Regulus simply enjoyed the time he had before someone would come running up to him to disturb the only peace and quiet he was going to get for a while.
