Prologue
Regulus Black was excited to go to Hogwarts. He saw it as a fresh start, in his brother Sirius’ words, somewhat of a new chapter for Regulus. His heart was so full of emotion, and it was ready to be full of even more. If only he knew, he sometimes thinks, but he knows the way it happened is better. He knows it shaped him. He just didn’t like it. Maybe he wishes he never had to turn out this way in the first place, never had to take this all on, but he only lets himself be engulfed in these thoughts on occasion. Today, he will, he’ll let the memories drip over him like gasoline, igniting the fire as if it can save him, as if he’s not in too deep, as if he’s not accepted his fate already.
