Chapter Text
“Aegis-” Pandora started. “Please don’t go.”
“This is what my dad would want. This is what your uncle would want.”
“You promised-”
“I was lying! Obviously” Aegis yelled. “Don’t make this any harder, please Pandora.”
“Well if you were lying all this time why did you feel the need to say goodbye to me.” Aegis took a step backwards. “Why did you come to say goodbye to the cousin you obviously never loved!”
“Because-” Aegis grabbed the backpack. “Because you’re my sister.”
“No, Aegis. I’m not.”
Aegis walked outside her room, holding his breath and trying to scream. Regulus got off easy, it felt like the; only person he had to disappoint was Sirius.

Aegis turned to look at him. “Because we’re going to get in and we’re not going to see them again until this is over. We can’t arouse any suspicion.” Aegis grabbed his arm. “Come on, let’s go.”

Aegis took a deep breath, cleared his mind and spoke.
“My name is Aegis Silverlocke and I am accompanied by Regulus Black. We would like to join the Death Eaters. We are both gifted in magic and we will be a valuable asset to you. I promise.”
The Dark Lord turned to look at them. He was pale, with long, a little shorter than Severus’, black hair and deep chocolate brown eyes. “Come forward Aegis Silverlocke, let me show you how I will test your worth.
