» synopsis «

"Which star is that?" A young, 7-year-old Regulus asked, pointing at the sky. They were lying in the grass late just outside their house, staring at the sky.

"That is Sirius- Look, I'm a star. The brightest star in the entire night sky."

Regulus laughed, "What about me?"

"You're pretty bright too. You're over there. The brightest star in your constellation, Leo."

"No!" Regulus said, desperation in his voice. "Sirius. Sirius, just please, don't go, I need-"

Sirius Black stared into the eyes of his brother. "Then come."

Sirius Black never dared to look behind him, scared that if he looked into the pained eyes of his brother, he would come back.
