"Sirius there is no way out" Regulus groaned as the two brothers sat together on the floor of the prefect's bathroom. The only this that filled the air was tension and desperation as they tried to scheme a way into a new life.
"There's gotta be something Reg, I can't watch you be brainwashed like the rest of the family, Andy and I made it out alive, you're next" Sirius promised.

"I don't think you get it, Sirius, they want an Heir to the black name, and they aren't gonna stop until they have one" he muttered disgusted that this was the life that he was destined to live, he wanted a way out, but it seemed the only way out of such a rush terrible lifestyle was death itself.

"Why did you leave me?" Regulus asked as he turned his attention to his older brother.

Tears started to well up in his eyes as he remembered the summer going into his fifth year.
It was always such a big fight between Sirius and Walburga, Regulus couldn't be bothered to argue so instead he tried to gain his mother's approval rather than against fight it. Orion was very distant at the time, wanting nothing to do with Sirius' theatrics.
He could remember the sounds of their screams, the arguing back and forth, the sound of Sirius' body hitting the floor. And he remembers the eerie silence that followed, Sirius stomping up the stairs to pack his things.
the rest of the night was a blur the only thing the remained burned into his brain was the moment he looked at Sirius, their eyes locking for a quick second before his older brother, his only hope nothing the words 'sorry' and then apparating out of Grimmauld Place as if nothing had happened.

Sirius got to live a new life, one with the Potters, he got a second chance at life. A life full of love and kindness.
All while fifteen-year-old regulus, trapped in a family full of hatred.

"I'm sorry okay, I wanted you to come with me but I knew there was no way that I could take you from our parents," Sirius whispered not daring to look at his brother in guilt "I'm going to fix this Reg, I promise"

No one spoke for a solid two minutes, the room filled to the brim with tension, the 'Noble House of Black' had truly taken a toll on these two boys.

"What if there was a way that they get to keep their heir? You Know Who gets to keep you a Death Eater, and you help by tearing the blood supremacists from the inside out"

"What are you proposing?" Regulus questioned, sitting up from his usually slouched state, his eyebrows furrowed with confusion.

"I think I have a plan, we need to have a chat with Big Man Albus!" Sirius said hopping up from the ground and dragging Regulus out of the bathroom by the wrist.
