Summary
Set between between GOF and OOP, Sirius is trapped inside Grimmauld Place, alone with only Remus for support. One day while Remus is off an a mission, Regulus suddenly appears alive in his old bedroom, except he is not the Regulus Sirius remembers, he is only 13 years old. Frightened and anxious, having just woken up from 1976, Regulus looks to Sirius for support and Sirius tries his best to help do what he failed to do for his little brother the first time.OR...Sirius is out of Azkaban and Regulus is dead, then he isn't but he is a child now?first couple chapters are admittedly kinda crap but they get a lot better
Note
Just some context if you think you need it.I have made regulus a little younger in this fic purely because I felt like it would hurt more.Sooo basically when Sirius ran away in 5th year 1975 he already 16 (3/11/1959) and Regulus was 13 and in his 3rd year, also I decided to make him a virgo because I can (23/8/1962)Also idk how uk school system works so sorry if that doesn’t technically work, i tried to google it but got confusedAnd yeh, HP up until now has just been canon and normal mostly so yay for all the unhappy dead marauders, RIP all my babies :)Also happy october also please comment to give me dopamine to write more
