Obsession

Bringing down the Dark Lord became Regulus's obsession from the moment Kreacher returned. The house-elf was nearly dead after his trip with Regulus's master, which was disturbing enough. The story that Kreacher told him made it worse.

The man (if indeed the Dark Lord could still be considered human) had torn his family apart. Obsession with blood purity had driven his brother away. Regulus had resented Sirius for a long time, but now Sirius seemed like the fortunate one.

The Dark Lord had to be stopped. He couldn't be allowed to ruin anyone else's life.

Regulus agonized over what to do for quite some time. What could he, the second son of a noble family, possibly do against such an evil man? The question plagued him constantly until he finally realized that the answer had been in front of him all along.

"Kreacher, take me to that place." Regulus would hit the man where it would hurt him the most. He didn't care if this killed him. He could die knowing he'd done some good for a change.
