Confrontations
So there they stood. The fire and chaos engulfed everything. Screams filled the air. And yet the brothers stood there, as though nothing was going on.
Sirius just stood there, numb and motionless. He stared blankly at his little brother. Nothing made any sense. Yet it made perfect sense.
Finally, the horrible silence, was broken.
"Sirius?"
Regulus had a look of worry and nervousness. He inquired his brother for any emotion.
"Sirius," he said. "it is you."
Suddenly, Sirius felt an emotion. A strong emotion. Anger.
"you," he growled with menace.
"Sirius," repeated Regulus. He was now extremely worried.
With a yell, Sirius brandished his wand and shot a burst of light at Regulus. Regulus cowered.
"you," he growled again. "you. You did this. You did this all. BECAUSE OF YOU!"
He shot at him again. Regulus was hit and thrown backwards. He straighten himself up, his face scared.
"Sirius," he called over the flames. "It's not what you think!"
In wild fury, Sirius roared, sparks shooting from his wand. Regulus crumbled from the curses.
"Why?" Sirius whispered. "Why did you do this? Thought it would be fun. Wanted a bit of power!"
"Sirius," yelled Regulus. "It's not what you think!"
"Why did you do it, Regulus!" menaced Sirius, his wand raised. "Did you so it for Mom?"
And he could tell he was right, from the rush across Regulus's face. Sirius merely laughed, ignored the shrieks of burning muggles.
"So you did it for mommy dearest. She always said she wanted a son to be proud of. Someone who wouldn't make my mistakes. I guess your that son."
Now it was Regulus whose face was emotionless. He just stared at his angered brother while the fire blazed.
"You were always her favorite," continued Sirius. "She loved you. She swooned over you, and you kissed her butt your entire life, and joined these gits!"
"Shut up!" yelled Regulus braking off Sirius. "You have no idea! You hated mom, and ruined her life."
That was the final straw. Sirius's anger mounted so high, he forgot all about the wand. He attacked with his own bare hands.
Or paws.
Sirius, blind with hatred, threw the wand away. He transformed into the same dog he'd been since he was a teen. Without noticing the stunned face of his brother, he pounced.
He bit and ripped every part of Regulus he could reach. Blood was blossoming, Regulus was screaming. Sirius continued to tear until his yelping brother was silent.
"Impedimenta!"
The dog went flying, landing in heap. A cloaked Death Eater rushed over to the bloody Regulus. He pulled up Regulus, took one last look at the scene of chaos, and disappeared, leaving Sirius whining on the cold street
The brothers stood in silence, in the cold, empty street.
"everything just come back to you, doesn't it," inquired Regulus. Sirius was quiet staring at the misty street.
"You never did forgive me for what I did. You always thought of me as a pathetic moron who got what he deserved," said Regulus. Sirius shot a look at him that had yes all over it.
"We never saw each other again after that night. Did you know that I died not long after?" asked Regulus as they walked.
"Yes," muttered Sirius, staring at his own feet.
"Did you know why?" Regulus continued.
"I have an idea about it," Sirius grumbled. You turned chicken and left after the ordeal got too dangerous. You decided to up and quit, not realizing Voldemort would murder you for treason. Am I right?"
"Yes," said Regulus, "and no."
Sirius turned to his brother. "What, there was another reason?"
"well," said Regulus, with a wry smile. "let's just say my death had a little honor in it." He nodded over Sirius' shoulder and Sirius turned to look.
What he saw was the square of his old house at Grimmauld Place. The grand house was visible only for a moment before a cloaked man rushed out. The man was Regulus, fleeing for his life.
He had just done the very act that would immediately lead to his death. He had basically signed for his own death sentence in what he had done. Hopefully, no one would find out.
He had made his wish to abandon the Death Eaters pretty well known, that alone would get him killed. But, what people didn't know was that he had just ruined his master's plan for immortality. Stealing his Horcrux.
It was no easy feat to reach one of Lord Voldemort's most prized possession. He had to trick almost every loyal Death Eater he knew into giving the location of a Horcrux. When he had found it, he was bamboozled by numerous curses and traps to prevent him from stealing it. Even now, hours later, he was still feeling shaky from the emerald poison. He was still haunted by memories of Inferi. But it was all worth it, and it needed to be done.
After hiding the cursed locket in his old house, Regulus ran down the street as fast as he could. But before he could Apparate to safety, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of masked, cloaked men. All of them with their wands pointed at him.
Regulus did nothing, and waited for the end.
"You took a vow for eternal loyalty Black," yelled a masked man in front of him. "You will pay for your betrayal."
And in synchronization, the Death Eaters cried, "Avada Kedavra!"
There was a flash of green light, a soft whoosh, and Regulus fell dead.
R&R everybody. D. this is for u moony lover.
