What you never knew about... Regulus Black

1. He loved his brother more than anyone.

When Regulus and Sirius were younger they were best of friends but when Sirius was sorted into Gryffindor they slowly drifted apart as their mother put more and more pressure on Regulus to get into Slytherin and become the perfect Black.

2. Sorting hat considered putting him in Gryffindor.

The Sorting hat would have put him into Gryffindor but Regulus pleaded with it not to.

"Why what a brave, lad we have here!" it had said.

"I'm not brave!"

"Oh but you are dear boy! I think Gryffindor would suit you nicely."

"Please not Gryffindor! Please! My family will kill me!"

"But your dear brother is in Gryffindor and you are so like him! I can tell that you love your brother very much."

"I do but if I'm not in Slytherin I won't live to see my 12th birthday!"

"Well, if you're sure, better be, SLYTHERIN!"

3. He was always Jealous of James Potter as he got more attention from Sirius than Regulus ever did.

He would often spy on Sirius and when he saw Sirius he always saw James Potter. It broke his heart, especially when they called each other 'brothers'.

4. He dreamed about what would have happened if Sirius took Regulus with him when he ran away.

When Sirius was packing his things in his room Regulus was standing outside the door fighting with himself whether he should knock.

5. He was forced into taking the Dark Mark by his mother and Aunt Druella.

After Sirius ran away a lot of pressure fell on Regulus to be the perfect child. He was forced by his mother and Aunt when they came into his room one night to take it.

6. He cried silently at night for months after Sirius left.

He was once again alone in the world.

7. He never allowed anyone to call him Reggie. That was reserved for Sirius and Sirius ONLY.

If only he would call him Reggie one last time...

8. He sometimes wishes that the Sorting hat had put him in Gryffindor. At least then he would've been with Sirius.

How different his life would have been...

9. The day before he died he went to visit Sirius but when he reached the house he ran.

What he didn't know was that his brother was waiting behind the curtains hoping he'd knock.

10. Regulus Black died with a smile on his face. The Reason? He had just betrayed the Dark Lord.

He felt he had made his older brother proud.
