SPOILER!!: Regulus Black

Regulus Arcturus Black entered Slughorn's office standing tall and proud, a smile plastered on his face. From the outside looking in, he appeared everything a son of the noble and most ancient house of Black should be... because that's all his life was: keeping up appearances. He'd gotten good at it by this point. He greeted Professor Slughorn and the other guests with a polite hello before making a beeline for the drink table.

Along the way, he passed a house elf carrying a tray of sandwiches. He picked one up, thanking the elf with a warm smile. He liked house elves. They were generally kind and didn't place the same expectations on you that humans did, but best of all, they were loyal to a fault. No house elf would betray its family... unlike some people he knew.

As Regulus sipped a butterbeer, he allowed his mind to wander. What was Sirius thinking, abandoning their family? How could he do that to their mother? How could he do that to him... and over the holidays, no less?! Well, at least there was little chance of running into him here tonight.

Age: 15 Residence: 12 Grimmauld Place Heritage: Pureblood House: Slytherin Attending party as: Slug Club member Hair: black Eyes: brown Height: 5’7 Build: lean Wand: 113/4” Cedar & dragon heartstring Boggart: his other disowning him Patronus: incorporeal Erised: his family together and happy Personality: Regulus’s personality is split into two sides that are constantly at odds; as such, he lives in a state of perpetual conflict. Outwardly, he appears confident, self-assured, and more than a little snobbish, but that cocky veneer hides a softer side that few get to see. Regulus has an overwhelming need to be liked. He will do anything to earn his family’s admiration, even when his conscience tells him otherwise. He is fiercely loyal to those he cares about and has no respect for those he deems traitors. History As a member of the noble and most ancient house of Black, Regulus lives a pampered lifestyle. He is the youngest and favorite son of Walburga and Orion Black, a fact about which his parents are not shy. Of all his family, Regulus is closest to his mother, who he both idolizes and fears, but being the favorite in one of the most notorious wizard families in Britain comes with a price. From an early age, Regulus was indoctrinated into his parents’ pureblood mania, and as he grew, so did the expectation that he carry on his family’s traditions and join Lord Voldemort’s cause. As a child, Regulus looked up to his older brother, Sirius. Unlike him, Sirius openly resisted their parents’ traditions- something which Regulus both resented and secretly envied- and the pair slowly drifted apart. Regulus hoped that Hogwarts would help mend his relationship with his brother, but his hopes were dashed. While Regulus was sorted into Slytherin like the rest of his family, Sirius went to Gryffindor instead. After this, Sirius became more rebellious than ever, leading to increased tensions within the family. Things finally came to a head when Sirius ran away from home and was immediately disowned. Now all the expectations their parents once placed on Sirius fall to Regulus instead. He feels it’s his responsibility to bring his family back together, no matter what the cost.
