'The Slytherin hero'

The title on the screen brought all Slytherins on edge, they were cunning not brave so who was the 'SLYTHERIN HERO'.

The eighteen year old stood with a rage, a fire which was only seen in the Griffindors.
He knew what had to be done, his only regret was that he won't be able to see his beloved again.
His Ingrid

On hearing her name Ingrid sat up straight, while the whole hall was confused only two people knew who he was. Ingrid looked at him to see him already looking at her. She averted her eyes as her friends started teasing her.

He knew he would die today but didn't care. It was the only way of saving Tom's sanity. His house elf Kreacher was standing beside him wailing and crying for his master to think again. But he forgot that Blacks aren't sane, they do crazy things. And Regulas Black was no different.

Regulas knew without a doubt that his assumptions were correct. What he thought was true, he had his doubts about the horcruxes. He noticed everybody present looking at him. But he only looked straight.

"Enough Kreacher"  said an annoyed Regulas. He was sure his hands were trembling but he would not back down now. He was a Black and Blacks don't fail. The house elf fell quite. Kreacher knew his master was never disrespectful towards him or anyone at the matter. He was the only person who cared for Kreacher.

"When I finish drinking this posion, take the locket and replace it. You will destroy the original locket, Kreacher, do you understand me?"Regulas asked the trembling elf who was on the verge of tears
"Yes master Regulas" muttered the said elf.

"You will not tell a soul Kreacher not my mother father or Sirius and not even Ingrid" Regulas continued.

Regulas took the bowl in his trembling hands and with the thought of his love, he took the first sip, he let out a heart wrenching cry, but that didn't stop him from finishing the task, he cried for his mother, his father and above all he cried for his brother whom he loved more than anything. Then he cried for his beloved fiancee whom he knew he would never see again.

It was painful to watch the scene many people were crying, some gave Regulas pity looks, what shocked everyone was that the famous cold hearted Bellatrix Lestrange had tears in her eyes. Regulas was her favourite cousin, but still it was a shock for her family, because no one had seen her cry before.

On the other side of the great hall, the Marauders were holding a crying Sirius Black who, forgetting everything stood and walked to the Slytherin table and took his brother in his arms. You can say the whole Black family was happy, they knew Sirius was a rebel.
What Sirius didn't assume was that Regulas hugged him back.
Before anyone could say anything screen lightened up.

"I can't, don't make me" his cheeks were covered with tears, tears for his family.

"Just a little more master, it's almost finished." Kreacher gave his master another sip while muttering words of comfort.
The potion was finished and Kreacher replaced the locket just like his master told him to.
" Water " regulas rasped out to Kreacher. Using all his strength Regulas stood with shaky legs and walked down the edge, " Agumenti" he tried again but it was of no use, he descended a little more. He crouched down to take water from the lake, but to his shock a hand came out and latched onto his wrist and tugged him down. More hands, more tugging and the last thought Regulas Black had was about the people he left behind.

His family

His brother
and

His Ingrid

with that Regulas Black took his last breath.

It was pin drop silence before those with weak stomach who couldn't digest seeing the inferi and death ran out of the hall towards restrooms to empty their stomachs. While the Black family and Regulas's friends along with Sirius, Marauders and Ingrid all had tears running down their cheeks.
" You idiot! You couldn't tell anyone we would have helped you" Ingrid wacked her crush's head with a pillow while he tried to stop her. "Ow!ow! Ingrid it's the future how would I know why I didn't tell anyone."
"She is right , you are an idiot Regulas" sirius shook his head while trying to stop more tears from flowing.

It was true to imagine the terror in the elders heart and mind. They all had only one thought in their mind as to how bad were things in the future that even children had come  to terms with sacrifices.

While everyone else were in their thoughts one person looked like a child who just won a candy. It seemed like his plan was set in motion, everything was going to his plan.














Little did he know......










Not everyone were under his manipulations.
