Leaving Home

" Regulus! There here, come down now! " shrieked Walburga Black. She was a cruel lady who had no qualms when's hurting others even her own kids. Most people avoided her as her temper was horrid. This was why Regulus was always in his room. This was also why Sirius left.

"Regulus sighed. He knew who they were. It was his Aunt Druella and Uncle Cygnus with their two daughters and their husbands. Cissa and Lucy - sorry , Lucius (he needed to remember that. He'd get a beating if he called him that) and Bella and Rodolphus and his pain of brother, Rabastan. They were all ghastly including his parents and he hated them. He wished Sirius had asked him to come to Potter Manor with him but no! He abandoned his own little brother. Rude.

" Regulus! " the banshee wouldn't even stay quiet for a minute.

" I'm coming, I'm coming. " he grumbled. Straightening his clothes , he walked down the stairs to where his darling cousins were. Regulus swore they looked uglier than last time There was Narcissa straight and stuck up as ever. Lucius Malfoy arrogant and smug. Bellatrix looking crazier than usual ( she got madder everyday) and the creeps Rodolphus and Rabastan looking bored to be here. They weren't the only ones.

" Reggie! " squealed Bella like an excited two year old and trapped him in a hug.

Merlin! She's wearing too much perfume. Can't breathe! After the polite greetings and glares from Regulus and Rabastan ,they made there way to dining room. Halfway through the meal talks of the ' Dark Lord' started. He tried tuning them out but the words all came to him.

" Reggie are you going to join? I could help you get the mark this summer. Well? " Everyone was looking at him expectantly awaiting an answer. He wasn't suicidal, he couldn't say no to Death Eaters but he couldn't , wouldn't say yes either.

" I need to think about this. I mean I am only 16 , a bit young really. " reasoned Regulus in a carefully calm voice.

There, that gave him enough time to escape.

" He is right I suppose. He is still in school. If he's caught with the Dark mark he'll be taken to Azkaban and we'd lose the Black heir. " admitted Cissa. For once she was some use to him.

"Oh alright, but think quick." Snapped Walburga , disappointed.

Slowly , Regulus slid out of his bed quickly casting a silencing charm around his bedroom. He was dead clumsy and would knock things over. Once he got his stuff in his trunk , stuffing a few of his favourite books in he grabbed his cloak and carefully padded down the hallway to the floo.

" Where do you think you're going?! "

Spinning around , Regulus saw Bellatrix standing in the doorway. Subtly he slid his wand out of his armholester.

" I'm leaving. "

" You're just like your filthy bloodtraitor brother , a disgrace! " she snarled.

" No you're the bloodtraitor , you attack and kill family members, that is betrayal! " before she could retaliate he shot a stunning curse at her. Stepping into the fireplace he looked around the office hesitating for a second, what if they turned him down, what if Sirius told him to get lost? He'd have to deal with that later then. He said Potter Manor and felt the fire around him before being thrown out into a sitting room.

"Reggie!"
