Chapter three: Dead man tells no lies

"Regulus Perseus Black" man replied rather calmly.

Harry's eyes dilated as his jaw dropped.

"It's impossible" ascertained Harry.

"Oh. Care to tell me why?" asked Regulus crossing his legs on Harry's bed and trying to wipe his tears with his sleeve.

"Because he is... You are... I mean... "Harry started hobbling.

"Well?" a glint of amusement danced in Regulus eyes.

"Because you died fifteen years ago" Harry gathered all his strength to stop hobbling.

"Almost sixteen" replied Regulus scratching his head.

"Almost?" asked Harry.

"August the eight exactly"

"Oh. But shouldn't you be dead?" Harry asked knowing how ludicrous it sounded.

"Yeah. I should. But as you see Harry I don't" replied Regulus.

"But Si... Sirius told me that you died"

Flash of pain crossed Regulus face.

"He didn't know about this" he said by barely audible whisper.

"But why?" Harry asked.

"You are almost sixteen and I think that someone told you about how first war with Voldemort look like. And yes I'm speaking this bastard name because he made to go in hiding for years" Regulus added at the look on Harry's face.

"He made you?" asked shocked Harry.

"Not himself. But after I refused to be his Death Eater he adjudicate for me. Well, you don't just hand your resignation to Voldemort. It's a lifetime of service or death" Regulus said and Harry recall that Sirius said this same words a year ago. "Nobody know about a little fact that I was forced to take Dark Mark. Everybody thought that I take this shit willingly. Sirius especially. I was under strong Imperious Curse when I was taken on the first meeting. Black's usually are immune on this Curse but not all Black's for example my immunity weren't that strong as Sirius was and Death Eater's used this fact. When the meeting ended and I came back to my flat – I left my parents house immediately after my graduation and I rent small flat somewhere in London you know – and start panicking, I don't wanna be a Death Eater. But when I cooled down I found that if I stayed there for a little time and tried to find some facts about Death Eater's and with this knowledge came to professor Dumbledore maybe it will be good for everybody, at last the Light Side. So I decide to stay. I thought a month will be enough. But Voldemort crossed my plans to back away with some information and give me a challenge. I had to kill two persons. Aurors. The last people I wanna ever harm. I take this challenge and he give me a month to do this if I don't I will be killed. Then I back to my flat and start to make a way to escape from this challenge. I have a portion of Polyjuice Potion and a very annoying neighbor above my flat called Stubby Boardman. This man was quite obsessive with suicide. He was harassing me every time when I meet him to find a way he could die. I was disgusted with this. But when I back to my flat and found him on my doorstep and told him to live me alone because I'm going to have a bunch of Death Eaters after me soon. He asked me for a 'favor'. I called him mad and tell him to leave and not come back. But he down my throat for very long hours until I agreed. And this is not a fact I'm proud about. I toke the modification Polyjuice with his hair and he with my. I moved immediately after this... Three days after I found that Regulus Black were killed by Death Eaters in his own flat. Examine was taken by one of Sirius's friends, your father James. But what they found it was nothing. And..." Regulus voice subside.

Harry was shocked about this confession.

"Who had to die from your hands?" Harry found his voice.

"Mirzam Verascez and Sirius Black" said Regulus blankly staring in the cellin.
