Summary
Regulus has always known about Sirius' friends.
Always knew about their existence since Sirius met them. He was always aware of everything. Maybe too aware for some people's opinions.
He knew and remembered almost everything, no matter how hard he tried not to, and it was a curse to him. To Alphard it was a blessing because, as much as Regulus loved him, he was very, very forgetful and oblivious. Andromeda used to say that Alphard and Regulus were exact opposites and that's why Regulus found the most comfort in Alphard. Why he always ran to him when he couldn't figure something out and needed an adult to help.
He always saw Alphard as more of a parent than his own. It was reasonable, very reasonable, that he did. Walburga and Orion were never caring or kind to him and Sirius. They mattered as much as dirt to them. Sirius hated them as soon as he became aware. Regulus never dared to. He could never hate his parents, as much as he may want to. He never had the heart to. He wasn't as brave as Sirius was, and never would be, really.
“Reggie! Guests are here!" Was what brought Regulus back to reality. He slowly, and very reluctantly, closed the book in his lap and stood up, taking his time to walk inside.
