Sadly none of J.K. Rowling's amazing world actually belong to me.


The Sorting of Regulus Black

"I hate it when I'm right."

"What?"

"Oh, nothing. It's not important right now. What is important is sorting you."

"Slytherin right?"

"Actually, I'm leaving that up to you."

"What do you mean?"

"I actually see quite a potential for bravery in you."

"Really?"

"It's just a lot more buried then in your brother."

"Sirius. Do you want to send me to Gryffindor with him?"

"If you want me to."

"He left me."

"He didn't want to."

"Mother stayed in her room for a week after we got his letter. She said he had disgraced the family. It broke her heart that he did that. I had to comfort her, promise her I would be a good son. I wouldn't disgrace our family name."

"That doesn't change the fact that he cares about you."

"Oh, sure he cared about me, until he had a chance not to."

"That's not true."

"He makes mother cry, but he never has to comfort her after. He doesn't see the disdain on the family's faces when he pulls his stupid stunts. He tries to shatter our family and he doesn't care that I'm always the one left to put together the pieces. "

"..."

"Sometimes I hate him...other times I just wish he would be there for me. I was always there for him. I cover for him when he sneaks out, I lie for him. He's my older brother, but he left me when I needed him."

"There is more to it than that. And you can be with your brother now. You can go to Gryffindor."

"No I can't. My brother doesn't think responsibility is important, but I do. I can't be like him. I can't destroy everything in my path and not look back. I can't."

"You'll regret being in Slytherin."

"I already do."

"I'm sorry that this is how it goes."

"So am I."

"Just remember, you're better than who they think you are. You are braver than you know, one day you'll see that."


SLYTHERIN!
