1) When he was younger, he idolised his older brother Sirius, he seemed perfect in every way. In the end, it was this admiration that made him do the right thing.
2) He never fully understood his parents' ideology. He was always going to do something about it, but when Sirius left, they turned all their attention onto him and he could never escape.
3) He fell in love with a Muggle, her name was Hope and she was a Ravenclaw. The two of them were Charms partners, then friends, then boyfriend and girlfriend, then lovers. The only family member he ever told was Andromeda, his kind older cousin.
4) He was smart, that's why he got on well with Ravenclaws. When he was being sorted, the hat was going to put him into Ravenclaw but after his brother had been put into Gryffindor, his parents told him they would beat him if he went anywhere apart from Slytherin. Sometimes he wished he had that courage to stand up.
5) He fell in with the wrong crowd; they were friends of his cousins Bellatrix and Narcissa. He only became 'friends' with them so that they wouldn't bully him about well, everything.
6) He played as a Beater for the Slytherin team, he was very good. He was awarded MVP (Most Valuable Player) for three years in a row. If the war wasn't going on, he would've played for a club, everyone knew it.
7) His friends bullied him into becoming a Death Eater, another time in which he realised he had more courage. He was a useless one, a bit like Peter Pettigrew except he refused to kill anyone, something that he paid the ultimate price for.
8) He was coming home from the shops one day; he and Hope had a house in London. He turned the corner, and froze. His house had the dark mark above it; he knew that his days were numbered.
9) He invited Sirius to Hope's funeral. He knew that he would come; Sirius had caught them in a broom cupboard once and known about them since. The two of them stood on opposite sides of the grave, at the end they shook hands and walked away. It was the last time Sirius would ever see his brother.
10) Regulus was brave, he was courageous and it was in this moment that he realised it. He began to attack Voldemort from the inside; it was he who killed his second cousin Canem Goyle.
11) He couldn't believe it when he learnt about the horcruxes and more importantly where one was.
12) He drank the liquid without a second thought, as it destroyed his insides; he remembered Hope and drank another cup. When it was empty, he gave the locket to Kreacher and prepared to meet his maker. As he died, he sang a song,
I
will not give into this,
you can't hold me back at all
I do not
belong to you,
you cannot ask me for that
13) He remembered a serene peace when it was all over. He began to laugh then, a deep laugh that echoed all around him. He was brave, he had proved to himself at least that he was worth everything.
AN: Shit, its not very good is it? Constructive Criticism would be good. The song is O' Trophy Bearer by Jamies Elsewhere.
