Regulus saw light coming through his eyelids. He slowly opened his eyes, and saw the people from his dreams. He recognized a few people, but they appeared to be older. He also saw his brother Sirius. He also looked a lot older though and more haunted and sad then Regulus remembered. He called out to him saying his name.

Sirius did not know what to think about his younger brother's story. He did not know if he believed it, and if it was true it was terrifying. If Voldemort had horcruxes, then they were all most likely screwed. Dumbledore seemed to believe Regulus though, they were now talking alone in Regulus's bedroom. Sirius did not like this very much, he felt that he should be in there with his little brother as well. He thought he had lost him for years, and now he was here alive and breathing. And Sirius was not being allowed to talk to him. Sure they were not close but they were still brothers he should still be allowed to talk to him.

Severus stood in front of the door to Regulus Blacks bedroom. Even though he had not been particularly close to him. He had seen him around Hogwarts and in the Slytherin common room, he seemed a lot nicer than his brother. Although he had been very quiet and he kept to himself, he also spent a lot of time in the kitchens with the house elves he seemed like a sweet kid. Severus hated that he was sympathizing with Black but he was. He was shaken up and he barely knew the kid, he could not imagen how Black felt. Severus briefly wondered if Lily would also come back to life, but he shook his head at this thought. If Regulus's story was correct then that would mean that he did not actually die, and Lily had definitely died. '

Sirius saw Snape glancing at him, he glared back at him. He heard muffled whispers coming through the door. He assumed that they were talking about Voldemort's potential horcruxes. He thought back to what Regulus had said happened. According to him their father had been a death eater and he had sent Kreacher to help Voldemort with something, Regulus had known that something was going to go wrong so he had told Kreacher to come back home. This was apparently effective because when Kreacher came back he told Regulus that Voldemort had brought him to an island and made him drink a potion that made him see horrifying things. This made Regulus realize that Voldemort had created a horcrux. Regulus then went to the island to destroy it, but he ended up being dragged underwater by infer after he gave the horcrux to Kreacher. When he was about to die he saw a light and then he woke up in his bedroom surrounded by them. Sirius shook his head, his brother always had a soft spot for Kreacher, that was one of the things he could never understand about his brother even when they got along. Sirius just could not understand how anyone could possibly like the horrible thing, but Regulus couldn't understand how someone could not like them.

While they were all standing there they heard a voice coming from behind them. They turned around to see Molly's kids and Harry. Harry was saying "We need to know what is happening, you can not leave us in the dark. Not again." Sirius gathered that the last part of his statement was not just about this incident. The order looked at each other and through that look they decided that they should tell the kids what is going on. Molly told them that they should go to a different room and then they will be told what is going on. The kids reacted well to this so they all went down to the dining room. They left Snape and McGonagall at the door to wait for Regulus and Dumbledore to come out.

When they got down to the dining room Sirius opened his mouth and started to explain what had happened "Harry remembered when I told you about my brother." Harry replied saying "Yeah, the one that was a death eater." Sirius nodded in affirmation and then started explaining the day's events, he told them about his brother appearing, about how Regulus had nearly died, about Voldemort's possible Horcruxes. When he was done explaining the twins exclaimed that they were correct. After that Sirius tried to gage the children's reaction to what he told them. Most of them appeared to be taking the information in.

Harry thought about what Sirius had told them. It did not make any since, no one could come back from the dead. That was one of the first things that he had learned at Hogwarts, although this did give him some hope. If Sirius's younger brother could come back from the dead that means that it was possible that his parents could come back from the dead. He really hoped that this was possible. He also thought about the other part of what Sirius had said. Voldemort had what were called horcruxes, no one in the group knew what that was so they had to have it explained to them, apparently it was when you separated your soul. And it meant that until they destroyed it Voldemort would be able to live forever, Harry shouldered at the thought.

Sirius had just finished telling the kids what had happened when Snape came down the stairs he said that Regulus wanted to talk to Sirius. So Sirius walked upstairs while Snape went back to Hogwarts with Mcgonagall. Sirius entered his younger brothers bedroom, as he did this Dumbledore stood up from the chair that he had been sitting in. As he did this he gestured to Regulus and told them to have a nice conversation. While he was walking out he glanced back at the with a sad look on his face, Sirius did not know why he did this Dumbledore's only sibling was still alive.

Sirius sat down in the chair that Dumbledore had been sitting in and he got ready to have a conversation with his brother.
