Summary
In another timeline, Regulus Black died young. Eighteen years old, drowned in an underground lake, left to rot among the Inferi. His note addressed “To the Dark Lord” never reached its intended recipient, and the secret he discovered remained unnoticed until over a decade later, when a twelve-year-old killed a basilisk and destroyed a diary infected with the darkest of magic.
This is not that world.
In this one, Regulus Black fought his way out of the lake. He has the locket. He’s on a mission to destroy it. And his work is just beginning.
