In the dead of night, Regulus Black padded softly into his brother's room and jumped onto the bed. Sirius came awake with a start.
"Sirius," Regulus whispered urgently. "Did you know we're supposed to have blue blood?"
"Hrnph?" Sirius sat up, completely disoriented. "Whazzat?"
"I heard Mum say that we're purebloods and bluebloods too, and we shouldn't have to deal with Mudbloods who forget their place."
Sirius blinked once, slowly. "Yes. And?"
Regulus frowned. "I think there's something wrong with me. My blood looks blue on the outside, but when I cut my knee last week it came out red."
