Dear Sirius,
There are many things that I wish I could say to you, before it is too late. I know that you think me less than honorable, but I must get these things off of my mind. However, my time is little. So, dear brother, I will keep this letter short and hope that someday you will read it and understand.
First, I want to say that I am sorry. I know that Marlene's death must have taken a heavy toll on you. I never wished for something so terrible to befall you. You deserve better, Marlene deserved better. I cry, most nights, thinking about all of the terrible things that have been done, all of the terrible things that I have witnessed. I feel nothing but regret. I've been told I have a guilty conscience. I believe I have a guilty heart.
Second, I want you to know that I love you. You might despise me, for all that I have done, but you are my brother and I will always care for you. I have made many mistakes, but I know, now, that I am not beyond redemption. Hopefully, someday, you will see that too.
Most of all, my dear brother I want you to know that this is never what I wanted. I only wished to make our parents proud. I wish, every day, that I had been brave enough to turn away. I wish I was more like you; strong enough to stand up for what was right. But I was not; I did not want to lose my family. Much to my sorrow, that means that I lost you instead.
So I did what all of our family has done. I gave in. I made a choice, to fight with our family, to assist in the elimination of muggleborns. Unfortunately, I picked the wrong side, until now.
I have discovered a secret, a secret so substantial, that it could cause the fall of the dark lord.
I am finally doing what is right. I hope that, if you ever read this, you will feel proud. I hope that you will no longer spurn me, because I have finally chosen the right side.
When I am asked if I fear my fate, I do not reply. The truth is I do. Who doesn't fear death, when they have so much life left to live?
But I must hide my fear, because I finally have the courage to do what is right and nothing else matters.
I love you dear brother. Stay strong.
Regulus.
