Regulus looked Rupertin over. "Damn girl you're a natural, down to your eyebrow game."

Rupertin wasn't sure why Regulus was talking like a muggle, shw would know playing tricks on muggles as leprechauns do. She assumed being on the run meant Reglaus stayed amongst muggles sometimes.

It was unexpected seeing Regulus drop muggle slang but it was refreshing change from all of Hogwarts acting like boomers, except Rab and Barty, ironically.

Rupertin did shape her eyebrows, and remove her body hair slowly with a genie pull spell followed by a leprechaun vanishing spell. She took pride in her appearance and Regulus acknowledging her eyebrow game heightened her sense of pride and it was sweet of Regulus. Her shaped eyebrow highlighted her dark amber-orange eyes and emphasized her cheek bones. She was pretty as a genie and fairy, but she even a bit of aristocratic like features now, like Arthur, who is a mix of Cedrella and Septimus. Arthur had true aristocratic Black features. So would all his kids and Linny. It was ironic, the most laid back Weasleys got the aristocratic Black features. Even if she didn't put stock on human wizard aristocratic features.

"I'm a genie, it's in my blood," Rupertin said then blanched when she realized what she let slip.

Regulus have her an odd look. "Is that how the Weasley curse was broken? Your mother is a genie-"

"Not quite what you think," Rupertin grumbled. "I'll tell you later, as Lady Black by Proxy I have other business to attend to."

"Is that why you clash with Evans, Potter, and Pettigrew?" Regalus asked her. "Granted Evans is a hypocrite and Mary is also a muggleborn, but she isn't manipulative or a controlling or witchy like Evans."

"Yeah I like Mary too. Evans is a witch, with a B," Rupertin replied. "Her mother is a crazy hag too. Batshit runs in her family, she's dominating and doesn't leave her quarters with James. Peter, James, and her are off and fanatics in their own right. Your brother didn't corrupt them, just ask Cissa how they treated her. Bellatrix is probably attacking them in war on behalf of Cissa. I would do the same. Meda is still angry."

Regulus shook his head, Cissa was his favorite cousin, even if he didn't like Lucius as much. "That witch annoyed me too. Meda didn't pretend to be Bellatrix alone, I helped her pull off being Bellatrix. 'Bellatrix came to Hogwarts to talk to Dumbeldore about a student being Lord Black.' This was before the war, now students can be Lord of their house, like Siruus supposedly is. Or join the Order or take the mark." He winced. He took the mark this year. "

Ruperta down at him kindly. "I was wondering why people believed Bellatrix could come back after graduating Hogwarts. Even with how close shw was to Cissa, she can't waltz into the Great Hall whenever she wants. Well she's probably trying now but yeah."

Regulus laughed. "She is not, that's not a cap. She's probably waiting in Hogsmeade as we speak. I don't look forward to meeting her when she finds out I'm still alive and kicking. But Bellatrix has always been one screw loose from tipping. It was the intermarrying, not as bad as Cleopatra's family or the Hapsburgs, that caused her to be born with issues."

Rupertin nodded. "The other Slytherins besides Rosier, Avery, Rodolphus, Lucius, the Carrows, and Barty who resents his father because of serious neglect weren't so hostile. Poor Severus wss mentally tortured by the mauraders. And Lily never told James that she would pick Severus over him whenever he flirted with her. She only exploded on James and humiliated Severus. I don't think she showed compassion to hee ex friend, not that she really knows how, the manipulative witch."

Regulus hummed in agreement, "Yeah for sure. James and Peter were scumbags to Severus. Even my brother was an arse to Severus, but atleast Sirius has been traumatized by my parents and lashes out at Kreacher too. What's James and Peter's excuse? Atleast the hippie Remus is ok. Lily also seems self serving and an expert manipulator, she isn't too different from her muggle sister," Regalus said in an indecredulous voice. "I've seen Severus after the torture those arses put him through. He was physically effected and emotionally drained for days. Even Barty and Rab were effected after seeing Severus. I admit seeing him brought back bad memories of my own. When Bellatrix heard about it from Cissa, becuae they were keeping tabs on Sirius, she wanted to come to Hogwarts and torture Sirius' group. Andy attacked the Mauraders once for Severus. But in all fairness Barty and Rab didn't hold back into giving it back the Mauraders. Severus had some interesting spells that Barty lovdd to unlessh on them. I helped because I was angry at Sirius back then."

"When Bellatrix is defending the downtrodden, you know it's bad," Rupertin replied. "I haven't seen Severus personally but being a fellow target of thr psychopath, I can empathize with him. I think Lily, James, and Peter are true narcissists. I haven't had it bad as Severus, but I can attest to the psychological damage those psychopaths try to inflict. They gatekeep Firenze's territory gave her just for control, it's sick. I avoid them, but I can't imagine what Severus had to go through."

Regulus shook his head in disgust, "They gatekeep Firenze's territory? Is Lily ok? Severus would eat in the Great Hall early then go up to his dorm to finish his breakfast, just to avoid the psychopaths. Barty and Rab would flank him. Cissa and Meda would also stand in between them, but after Meda left Cissa became that witch's target too."

"Yeah they think it's their territory because Firenze let's them use it to give a werewolf student more freedom," Ruperta said. "But they take things too then they have a huge powertrip. When I need to go to the forest because of my leprechaun instincts, they lock me out if I don't follow James or Peter' barky instructions that keep you in your toes. I stay out becuase on top of that Lily follows me around like a jailer, trying to be fake sweet right after James or Peter barks. It's sick."

"Oh hell naaaah," Regulus burst out. "That's sick as fudge. I'll help you. The next tome you go through their territory, I'll come with you. Let's see Mrs get a guy to yell at a girl, try to intimidate me, the born and bree Lord Black." He looked at her. "With a Proxy."

Rupertin giggled at the proxy. "It's clear she and her mum have some serious issues. They're always trying to force me to suppress myself to somehow prove they're better or the unborn child is. Lily dresses as a slob, she doesn't even deal with her body hair. And she stays holed up in her dorm with her mouthpiece guard dogs. Then tries to trap me and Cissa in the outdoor territory Firenze gave when we wanna go to the forsst. Her mannerless sister gets out a bit more but having a guy yell at girls withouteven confronting them yourself, doesn't make you superior. It's psychotic trash. These poeple make death eaters look like angels."

Regulus crinked his nose, "Facts. That's not girls guys even take seriously, their only superioty is violently and bigotedly attacking girls like you. Or being bigoted to oureblods like Cissa. I can tell you thar first hand. And her mum, yuck what an improper hag who can't teach her daughters to act with class, of course how would she be able to if she cant herself?"

"I don't know why everyone treats Evans as high and mighty as she acts in her deluded episodes, just becuse she's muggleborn," Regulus muttered.."You're clearly not a full breed witch, every Slytherin can tell and we've been gossiping on how the Weasleys stopped their curse since first year. But only Evans deserves respect to these hypocritical bigots. Neither your nor Kreacher have rights but some of these so called light Gryffindors are not bigots. Make it make sense."

Rupertin nodded. "Facts, I get why Barty, Rab, Severus, and you were pressed to get the mark. Even Lucius doesn't seem to subscribe to the dark lord. People blindly idolize one side as if they can't do any evil, and they do. And they ignore the actual people who were good people before society crushed them and drove them to do deeds outside desperation. Or pressured them immensely like you," Ruoerta agreed. "And I'm not shocked you could tell I wasn't a full breed, I wasn't too subtle. That's fine I'm Lady Black by Proxy, i I'll tell you the story soon. Soon after i will assure the press this isn't a plot to usurp the Lordship from the Blacks in the line of succession for lordship. I hate the light side calling themselves light. The hypocrisy and judgement of the people whos support evil pretrnding to be self righteous is nausiating. Even Dumbeldore. Atlesst the death eaters are transparent."

"Nasty psychotic, unclassy typical, cultureless wizards" Kreacher spoke up, agreeing. He toned it down for Regulus Black

Regalus nodded, "Oh yeah Dumbeldore is a huge manipulator. That's why I was so annoyed by Sirius. Well let's go down to the territory, I have to tell Sirius about the new Lord Black by Proxy."

Regulus offered his arm to Ruperta like a gentleman. Rupertin awkwardly put her arm around Regalus' arm and he led her out of the treehouse.

Regulus helped Rupertin down the rope ladder and climbed down the ladder after her. Kreacher sat on Regulus shoulder as he climbed down by kreacher used his magic to prevent either student from falling down.

They traipesed through the snow covered forest, listening to the birds chirp and feeling snow flurries fall on them. "I miss Halloween, that was when Cissa tried to act like Bella well the old Bella. That shot was wild. I miss planning Cissa too."

Rupertin chuckled. "That was wild, Bella and her lord made Hallows Eve scarier but Cissa is hilarious. The haunted attraction led by Peeves was hilarious. Barty, Severus, and Rab dressing up in muggle costumes is something that will stay in my mind forever. I think they scared Peeves. Barty wasn't a bad guy, it's a shame he went down the path he did because his father didn'tunderstand the resentment he made Barty have for him."

Regulus nodded, "I hope they're disenchanted by the dark lord before it's too late. It sort of is too late if you look at me. Still all the same I good Barty and Severus' resentment doesn't cloud their judgment completely. They've been psychologically damaged, we all have, yet it isn't the answer. And Rab, Rab is conditioned by Bellatrix, which should stop. On the Gryffindor side James is also brainwashed by Lily mum, and her mannerless sister."

"Yeah he is," Rupertin agreed. "I once heard Lily the light girl say she wants to drop Garroting Gas on every goblin once. Out of nowhere! Or maybe because they didn't let her muggle family take back some money after dealing with a goblin made artifact. Either way she's lost it."

Regulus agreed, "those people are 100% certain they're right and 100% sure every other life is tradeable. That's how you get a dark lord. Anyways..."

He knelt down and took off one of his Black Lordship Rings. "Ruperta, Lady Black By Proxy, wear this ring that to cement your Ladyship by Proxy. And represent the true Lord of Balck in Wizangamot during civil trials, as per the discretion of the Lord of Black. Bound yourself to the backing of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black."

Regulus took Rupertin's hand and placed the House of Black ring with a purple gold band, amethyst stone, and dark pink tourmaline stone on her finger. "You have asylum in the court of the House of Black, Lady Black By Prixy," Regalus looked into her eyes, reciting a fact that dated back to the Medieval Ages.
