What Really Happened: The Regulus Black Story

Prologue

Regulus Black hated Voldemort with a passion. It wasn't just a 'oh, you suck' kind of hate, no, it was more the 'get the hell away from me you freak, you've ruined my life and I hope you rot in Hell' kind of hate. Everything Voldemort did, it hurt someone who didn't deserve it.

Regulus wasn't a bad person, but after his brother Sirius was put into Gryffindor, his parents began paying more attention to him. So, to feel important, he began to listen to them more, and stop rebelling like he used to with Sirius. He listened to his parents wishes and when he was seventeen, he joined the Death Eaters, even though he hated every single person in that group.

He began discriminating against muggleborns, even though he held nothing against them. He would kill, even though he didn't want to. He listened to that slimy bastard Voldemort to make his parents happy and get their approval. But, one day it went way to far. Snape delivered a message to Voldemort saying the person that will be able to defeat him would be born near the end of July to parents who have thrice defied him. This description was of two known babies; Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom.

Naturally, he went after both, but personally he went after Harry Potter. No one really knew why, maybe because Snape begged him not to hurt his precious Lily, or maybe because he wasn't a pureblood, like the 'Dark Lord' himself. Yes, Regulus knew. He knew it all. Regulus had figured it out when he was helping raid an old muggle house. He had stumbled upon a grave yard, discovering a grave for Tom Riddle. Putting the pieces together, he realized his father was muggle, his mother pureblood.

So, he began studying more about this mysterious person the Death Eaters blindly followed. He discovered he was a half-blood, who was also a Slytherin. A Prefect and Head Boy in school. He was admired by all, very powerful. He apprehended the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets and was overall very respected. So why did this person, who was so admired, become the Dark Lord. Why did he want to kill all muggles when he himself was 1/2 muggle anyway. Regulus dug deeper.

He was raised in an Orphanage, neglected. He was also Slytherin's heir. Oh, that's why he hated muggles. He wanted to carryon his ancestor's task and eliminate all muggleborns. This had to stop. Anyway, back to why he went to far. Voldemort went to the Potter house, killing all of them. This sent Sirius on a frenzy. Regulus knew Sirius was innocent and he didn't kill those muggles. He also knew that Peter was the one who betrayed the Potters.

But he went to far when he killed the baby. A BABY! What monster kills a baby?! So Regulus took all of his newfound knowledge, especially the stuff about the Orphanage, the Slytherin heir, and his fascination in horcruxes and put everything together. He hated the orphanage, but that's where he finally found out about his magic. So, he would probably hide a horcrux where he did some of his first magic. He'll have to ask the Orphanage where they went on trips.

Then, what would he use to hide some of his soul. Something of Slytherin's obviously, but what? He remembered seeing a locket a while ago. That must be it. Confident, he went to talk to the beast himself. "Master," he asked, bowing, "I was wondering if you still have that Slytherin locket I remember seeing?"

"No." Was the reply. Terse, but exactly what he wanted to hear.

"Yes Master." he bowed again and left the room. Perfect. Now, he apparated to the Orphanage and talked to the lady there. She showed him all the files they had. He easily found Tom Riddle's. It was the biggest after all. He found a report of a trip to a beach, near a cave, where he had hurt two childern. Perfect. This must be where he hid the locket. Where else would he have hidden it?

Regulus went back home. He found his mother and father raving on, still, about Sirius. It was fairly annoying. No, Regulus wasn't jealous, and no, he didn't hate Sirius, but when it's all you hear about for a week, it gets kind of nerve grating. He snuck up to his room and found a giant locket. He wrote a note, folding it and placing it carefully inside, he summoned Kreacher. He told the elf of his plan and how he couldn't tell anyone of it. Reluctantly the elf agreed.

They apprated to the cave and Regulus found out how get through the cave. He told Kreacher to make him drink the potion and no matter what make him finish it. Again, reluctantly, Kreacher agreed. When it was finished, Kreacher summoned water and Regulus gulped it down. He placed the locket into the bowl, after removing the horcrux, and it refilled. Then, being as weak as he was, he ordered Kreacher to go home and leave him. Being the only person who was actually kind to Kreacher, the small elf refused to leave Regulus, but after much persuasion, the elf left with the horcrux and directions that he was to destroy it. Summoning all his remaining strength, Regulus pulled out a modified time turner and put it on, he twisted it, once, twice, thrice... He kept twisting it until he figured he twisted it an adequate number of times. Then, he lied back, reveling in the spinning sensations associated with time travel. When it finally stopped, he brought himself to the boat and quickly left the cave, only to collapse on the ledge outside.
