Regulus Black stood staring out at Loch Ness. He always went there when he needed time alone and time to think. Right now, currently he was thinking about his family lineage. He wondered if any of his family ever realized that when they kept intermarrying that it was destroying their family. When they intermarried to their own family members their magic became weaker and weaker.
He wondered if his mother or father ever realized just what they were getting into when they forced him to take the Dark Mark. He was happy that he could now finally come out of hiding since Tom Riddle was finally dead once and for all. He did what he could from behind the scenes but he couldn't let anyone know he was alive. He could finally help bring the Black family back to the prominence that it once was. Their family motto wasn't about being pure bloods but about being pure in magic. He wanted to be proud of his lineage once more.
He wanted to finally be able to make his own decisions and he was now going to be able to. He was free to be whatever and whoever he wanted. He was no longer under his mother's thumb. He could finally be the man that he should have been all along had he not let his mother strong arm him into doing what she wanted.
