new inspo for regulus

Just like Slughorn, Albus Dumbledore collects people. Only, instead of focusing on those with influence, he looks to the outcasts.

The expelled half-giant. The young werewolf. The repentant Death Eater.

He protects them and gives them a second chance. All he asks in return is their loyalty.

And, if on occasion he requests that they undertake a certain task, invoking their debt of gratitude - well, that is no more than he is owed.

He once thought to add a certain disowned Black to his collection, but quickly realised his mistake.

Sirius is not an outcast, but a rebel. He knowingly chose his path, and chooses what price he is willing to pay for it. He refuses to be used.

So Albus Dumbledore abandons him.

Of course Regulus and Voldemort didn't like each other, they were both competing to be supreme emo

I think I would accept Timmy fc more if it weren’t for that facial structure. Idk, something about that jawline and cheekbones doesn’t sit right with me

genuinely missing the point in time when marauders fancams and draco edits were running rampant on my fyp

just thinking about how reg reacted when peter sat down for his first deatheater meeting.

there is no way some of y’all are this heated about fictional characters. like i refuse to believe that people are getting into fights over characters that don’t. exist. in. real. life.

Danger and the Black Family

"It's ideal for Headquarters, of course. My father put every security measure known to wizardkind on it when he lived here. It's unplottable, so Muggles could never come and call — as if they'd ever have wanted to — and now Dumbledore's added his protection, you'd be hard put to find a safer house anywhere."— Sirius Black regarding 12 Grimmauld Place

It's common in fanfic to see Grimmauld Place as a magical fortress, the ancestral fortress of the Black family, with wards (I know that it's a fanon term, but it's a useful one so don't @ me) as ancient as Hogwarts itself. And that make sense, after all, doesn't Sirius tell us so in the books? Well yes and no. Sirius does say that the house is warded, and heavily so ("every security measure known to wizard kind"). Sirius is exaggerating here, since the house doesn't feature protections like the Fidelius (until Dumbledore added it), but it's meant to show that the House is heavily protected.

The bit I'm interested in is the part I highlighted in the quote above. My father. The protective spells were not modus operandi for the Blacks, they're something new. It isn't him renewing spells his father cast either, since Arcturus dies after Orion. It makes sense that they're not standard procedure, after all they're wealthy and influential in the government. As pure of blood as one can be. They consider themselves wizarding royalty. Why would they take measures to protect themselves from those they consider their inferiors? Now, the question that naturally follows is: What changed? What prompted Orion to feel threatened enough that he felt the Black family residence needed reinforcement? I have my own elaborate headcanon about this, but I'd feel interested in hearing other theories first.

It’s crying over regulus black hours.
