Well yeah, so I have decided to write a new story, although I know that I haven't finished my other ones, but this one has been bugging me and I just have to write it down...

The story will be Regulus x OC, but there will of course be some other pairings

Regulus Black has been my favorite character of Harry Potter and I don't even know why as he didn't have that much of screen time in both the book and in the movies, but I still like him.

This is just a prologue, but I was thinking of wrting this story in a format that there is less dialogue, but more decription, because I was thinking that reading dialogues are a bit boring, so i just gonna try this out a bit.

Another thing, if you have time, please go to my page and take part in the poll that I have. i just wanted to know the gender of the people reading my story so that I could improve my language a bit maybe, so it suites you more.

And now then, please enjoy~

Prologue: "Welcome to my family"

3rd person POV~

'Please I didn't mean it… I didn't want to hurt anyone… please…' her sobs echoed through the room's walls. "Please… don't leave me alone…"

Tightly hugging her legs, the girl sat on her bed, burying her face in the small gap between her legs and body. It was early in the morning, the sun hasn't come out yet and the fog was still enveloping the city, but there were already sounds of people getting ready for a new day. The girl couldn't sleep. Sleepless nights were usual occurrence to her, but these few months had been different. She had been different. The something that she had been trying to hold down inside of her had finally made its appearance.

"Stay away from me you freak!" the shouting rang in her head "You have always been weird! We knew it!"

"I really didn't mean it" she mumbled, drops of tears formed in her eyes.

The flapping sounds of a bird made her look up. Out in the sky was a small sparrow that was flying around her small window and eventually decided to sit down for a little rest. Curiosity took over sadness and the girl stepped out to take a closer look at the bird. Her smile grew wider when the small sparrow started to chirp softly. She hummed along with it, feeling happy for the first time in a long time. But that happiness was so small that it was broken by just a light touch of her fingers on the glass surface. The cracking sounds of the window glass have brought her back to reality as the sparrow hastily flapped its wings away. She quickly pulled her hand back, hugging it close to her body, her face full of fear and regret.

Just that moment, the door to her room opened, revealing the Headmaster of the Wool's Orphanage – Mrs Cole, her icy cold eyes looked down on the poor girl making her shiver in fear "I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to…." She said in barely a whisper.

"You have a visitor." She said briefly and moved out to let a senior looking man, with long white hair and beard, inside closing the door afterwards.

Still hugging her arms closely to her body, she kept staring at him as he came closer.

Realizing her fear and confusion, he smiled kindly, offering his hand "Nice to meet you, my name is Albus Percival Brian Dumbledore, please call me Dumbledore."

She looked at him, her eyes wide. The first smile in a long time has really smothered her childish heart. She wanted to reach out so much, but the image of the glass cracking crossed her mind. From her view, if glass would break just by touching, then what would happen to a human being? She was so scared. She lightly shook her head, but his quiet mutter "it's alright" had brought courage to her.

Slowly bringing her hand out, she lightly touched the palm of his hand with her fingertips, her eyes never leaving the sight, afraid of something might happen. The small contact with another human being had warmed not only her fingers, but also her whole body. She looked up at him and he gave her yet another warm smile. He placed his remaining hand on hers and said "It's alright now."

Warm liquid filled her eyes and gradually streamed down her cheeks. Dumbledore pulled the girl into a hug to soothe her as she cried hard, hands clutching his robes tightly. Isolation was too much of a cruel punishment for an innocent eleven year old girl like her and Dumbledore understood it.

"Let me introduce myself again then" he sat on a small chair opposite to the girl's bed "My name is Albus Dumbledore, the current Headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Witchcraft?" she asked softly

"Yes, we have received information that in this Wool's Orphanage, a girl has awakened her powers as a witch, and that would be you, Cynthia Glinnis."

"So I am a witch?" she asked, horror in her eyes "am I…. going to be burned?"

Dumbledore looked at her quizzically for a split second, but then realized what she was going on about. It must have been the muggle story books that had given her that impression "I assure you that no such thing will happen to you. The witch and wizards world has existed for a long time. However, it is hidden from a plain person's sights as a human's nature is to be afraid of things more powerful than themselves."

"But I…" she mumbled "I don't want to hurt anybody…"

"I have no doubt in that, Cynthia. However, being powerful doesn't necessarily mean bad. There are many useful spells used for healing, protection and defending the ones you love."

"Magic can be used to heal?" she re-asked, surprised by the new information

"Yes." he confirmed kindly, noticing a spark in the little girl's eyes

"Can I… can I learn how to do it?"

"Yes, I'm here to officially invite you to attend our Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry" he got the invitation letter out and gave it to her.

The first question that came to her mind was the last thing she saw "My owl?" which she mumbled out without thinking

"In the magical world, we use owls to deliver our letters and packages. Usually applicants will have to send a confirmation note back to me if they would like to apply for the school. However in your case, I'm actually here in person, so if you accept our invitation, you will just have to tell me."

"Th-Then… please allow me to attend your school!" she said almost immediately

"Of course, Cynthia." He smiled "Now then, in our world, a child will become an adult at the age of 18" he explained "Before that, the child will have to be under supervision and support of another related adult" Her expression fell at the realization of what Dumbledore had just said.

"But… I…" she mumbled softly

"Yours, however," he continued, making her look at him "is a very special case. We have not been able to identify your parents' families as your mother had also been an orphan in the Wool's orphanage. And so…" he smiled "I would like to adopt you into my family if you'd allow me to."

Cynthia was really surprised at what she had just heard "Adopt? You will become my family?" she asked, tears filling her eyes again

Not saying anything, Dumbledore nodded with a warm smile. She sniffed, but couldn't hold her tears in. She bursted out crying as Dumbledore slowly stood up and pulled the small girl into yet another hug "Welcome to my family, Cynthia" he said kindly as she nodded into his robes.
