    Summary

    There was so much leading up to this point. Everyone was born into families and paths were created from there. They grew into students, eager for an education and to build lasting friendships. Walburga and Orion Black always said the people who surround you shape who you become. Most parent’s probably said that. That's why the four Houses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry labeled you to be a specific kind of person from the beginning.

    Regulus was required to surround himself with the approved sort of people, never given the choice to see what he would have become in different circumstances. Those people definitely shaped his life and the relationships would last but not in the way a child expects friendship to be like. His parents were so proud the day he took the mark at sixteen and had a great burden of expectations placed on him to support Lord Voldemort. Regulus wasn’t allowed to feel, he never had the choice for a different life.

    Until the day he was bound to the one person who forced him to feel.

    Summary

    Regulus takes a wobbly step, then another, and he slowly goes down the stairs and past the entrance. He turns around, one more time, giving a last look at his childhood home. And then he opens the front door.
    It’s a cold, sunny day.
    Regulus is twenty years old and about to die.

    Or is he?
