   Summary

   Regulus didn’t know how Sirius had appeared at the Potters’ door, years ago—bloodied, bruised, an absolute mess.
   He didn’t know how James Potter had reacted, seeing his best friend like that.
   He didn’t know what had happened that night.

   Regulus didn’t know any of that.

   What he did know, however, was how Harry Potter appeared at his doorstep at sixteen—soaked through, shaking, eyes wide and unfocused.

   An absolute mess.

   And still—he had come here…maybe it was time to return the favor.
