Headcanons

~ Tried out for the Slytherin Quidditch team. Not because he wanted to join but because he wanted to put Potter in his place ~ Might have been his mother’s favorite but that didn’t mean he was exempt from her tantrums: or abuse ~ Was one of the few who found out about the Marauder’s becoming Animagi. He didn’t even do it on purpose. He had been walking past his brother’s open door and there sat a big black dog. ~ The year Sirius joined Hogwarts and became a Gryffindor, as Regulus watched his mother blast his brother’s name off the wall he tried telling her that Sirius would always be his brother but that ended quickly.  ~ Regulus secretly is proud of Sirius: he got away. But part of him will always feel abandoned despite Sirius trying to get him to go with ~ Kreacher was Regulus’ only friend. Not because he couldn’t gain any but because they were all fake and only wanted an In with the Black family name. ~ During his second year as a Quidditch player he almost lost his life. A Beater from the other team got him with the Bludger (an accident so they said) and he nearly plummeted to his death: James Potter managed to catch him before he could hit the ground. Regulus spent a single night in the hospital wing because the Bludger got him in the head ~ During that night Sirius had snuck into the wing and that was one of the few nights the Black brothers forgot their family and their issues ~ Regulus missed a week when he got The Dark Mark: Sirius wasted absolutely no time cornering him upon return and forcing his sleeve up to see it for himself. ~ Bellatrix absolutely scared him but she was a good teacher when it came to the dark arts: he learned a lot from her in the short time he joined The Dark Lord’s Death Eaters. ~ He did not care for Lucius in the slightest and thought Cissy deserved someone better ~ He enjoys drawing: is actually pretty good at it ~ Through sheer will and stubbornness Regulus survived the Green Potion and managed to hide for years under the guise as Crookshanks.
