  Summary

  A deep ache has settled in his chest somewhere along the day. Whether it started in the morning after being startled awake by the loud bang of a door closing, and the following screams to “Come back, you ungrateful vermin, who do you think you are? Turning your back on your mother like that!” or sometime later, he could not remember. The numbness that overtook him seconds after comprehending what was happening felt like being thrust into ice cold water after he realized who the screams belonged to, and thus, who they were directed at. The coldness did not leave him for what felt like hours, but must have only been minutes. Precious minutes that he wasted on something as trivial as fear, when he could have been forming an idea; a plan; a way to get out of the situation his brother so rudely shoved him in without any warning or any regard for the consequences his disobedience would have.

  Or: Regulus Black leaves Grimmauld Place with(ish) Sirius black
