Title: Tumbling Down: The Ballad of Regulus Black

Summary: The short life and lamented demise of Regulus Black. Written to the Venus in Furs song "Tumbling Down."

Gee, but it's hard
When one lowers one's guard to a wizard

Now, me I regret it
A silly mistake that still lingers

Like a Chocolate Frog eaten away
Will I fight? Will I run, or just stay?

Tee hee, that Reggie
He's no longer busy
R.A.B

See him tumbling down

Hail to the Dark Lord
We're having a sordid reunion

He's gone and he's lost
He can only live on, on the tapestry

He's got a Dark Mark stain in his life
He's got nothing to protect but his pride

Oh miss-blocked a spell
He just drowned in the Dark Lord's potion

See him tumbling down
