A/N: Just a little collection of Regulus oneshots. May possibly contain slash...haven't decided.
The First Second Son
1: Sorted
Looking across the crowd, the tables and tables full of people, all staring at him. He saw his brother whispering to his friend behind a hand. His friend frowned and nodded and they directed their attention back to the shaky, tiny first year walking up to the stool. He saw his cousin Narcissa sitting beside a blond seventh year wearing a silver badge, his cousin Andromeda waved at him from Narcissa's left.
He put the Sorting Hat on.
Well, well, another Black. You're a strange one, well, your brother was too. You're smart, you want to rise above your expectations.
"Slytherin…" he muttered to himself.
You'd do wonderfully in Ravenclaw, you know. Though you do have a very defined sense of fairness…maybe Hufflepuff?
"Slytherin."
Well you do have a lot of nerve. I guess it'll have to be…
"Slytherin!"
A smile cracked over Regulus' face as he left the stool and walked to the Slytherin table.
"Good job," Andromeda whispered in his ear as he took the empty place beside her.
He nodded in thanks and watched the rest of the Sorting with an sense of great relief. It ended with a black boy with the surname Zabini being Sorted into Slytherin.
