Summary
Night fell in Grimmauld Place like a thick black cloak. Looking at it, all looked still. But within, if you were watching closely, if you listened very carefully, you found that the fabric really covered very little. It was more the darkness you had to get through.
Regulus was listening.

THIS IS A LONG FIC WITH A LOT OF HEADCANON. We start before Sirius and Regulus are even in Hogwarts and I literally have plot planned through the war. We explore characters in depth. You're going to hate and love (but mostly love) every single character in the fic by the end if I've done my job correctly. Well. Except for a few of them. We don't play apologetics for child abuse here. If you like it, please tell me. If you don't, please write your opinion down on a piece of paper, then burn it :)

Summary
Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled somewhere behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.
He often wonders if he has a choice.
Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.

Summary
Regulus stops and looks at James. “People have died before. When you’re in the middle of a task, Dumbledore may not have a say in whether someone dies or not.”
James stares at him. For a moment, Regulus thinks logic has finally permeated that thick skull of his. But then he breaks out into a smile. It warms Regulus’s insides while simultaneously burning his patience.
“You’re worried about me,” James declares.
Regulus nearly flinches back. “I am not!”
“You are!” James leans forward. “It’s cute.”
The Triwizard Tournament is reinstated during Regulus's fifth year at Hogwarts. He figured he had enough problems with Durmstrang's Headmaster and Crouch Sr hanging around, but then a fourth Champion is chosen from the Goblet of Fire.
Let the plotting, action, and romance ensue.

Summary
And without so much as a glance back, Potter's mop of disorganized black hair vanishes among the throngs pouring into the lifts.
Draco rakes his nails over his skull, vibrating with a barely-suppressed wrath, broiled passion making him feel weak in his own skin. If Potter is going to be like that...
This is going to be a lot harder than he thought.
