Polaris Black

Chapter 26

1976, 29 June- Tuesday

He was sitting in his room rushing to rip the seal of the letter he had gotten. He was rather curious about what was inside seeing as the seal was on from the House of Carlsden, Hadrianus' House. He hadn't seen him since he had begun attending Durmstrang, having stayed in Germany and had yet to come back to England for a visit.

"You can't take lessons from him." Polaris heard his brother state yet again. His brother had refused to leave his room for some reason, just reading a book on the couch in the corner, going on random rants about how it was dangerous to be learning from the dark lord and here he was going again.

He turned his head to his brother, halting opening the letter as he stared at him with a raised brow, "Well mother seemed so ecstatic about the thought of having been asked to take lessons with him. That's the happiest I've ever seen her in years and father... hm, and father I don't know, he didn't seem to really care all that much, just like he could care less that mother wishes for you to join the servants."

"Their not servants," Regulus found himself awkwardly replying, "Oh? I'm starting to think we're talking about something different entirely if you deny they aren't servants. Servants literally do the bidding of their masters, are you telling me Bellatrix isn't a servant?" Polaris responded as he raised a brow, his arm rolled off the back of his chair as his other hand rested on the desk he was sitting before, resting on top of the unsealed letter.

"You know, I really don't want to be a part of this mess. I told the mother that once and she..."

"...Oh." That was all Polaris said staring at his brother's hardened face. "Well, I don't know what else to say in all honesty. All I can say is I think the whole thing is stupid, I get it we don't like muggle-borns but why go through the lengths of killing them. All in all, I thought purebloods liked flaunting their superiority over them... and I do somewhat understand why muggles may be a threat even if they don't seem like it, there are muggles who could do rather dangerous things if they were ever to find out of the existence of wizards... Obscurus for example... muggles, are the reason this happens- perhaps we should just integrate muggle-borns into our world when it is known they have magic or something," Polaris spoke again leaving Regulus baffled.

"Or something?" his brother drawled, Polaris just shrugged, "I don't know, I just saying stuff, it's not like it'll happen and I doubt the muggle-borns would appreciate being taken from their parents if not all of them at least the ones at aren't being treated right and the ones that are orphans."

"Right... then become the next minister, and push your interesting opinions on the British wizarding world," Regulus said sarcastically, though he didn't think it was much of a bad idea to integrate muggle-borns who are being mistreated and the orphaned ones into their world, seeing as they would at least learn the wizarding culture from a young age and wouldn't be so ignorant as others would complain about.

Regulus still didn't overly like the idea of being branded. He had remembered seeing his cousin's mark, a mark to show him the proof of her undying loyalty to the dark lord, the thought of knowing that it was most likely her that had killed that family in Helford didn't sit right with him.

He just knew that she would be so proud to boast about it to any pureblood that would listen. As if she was doing Merlin's work. She praised the man as though he was Merlin himself, it confused Regulus to the extent he was questioning her sanity as a whole.

His friend Snape even had an interest himself in joining and Regulus couldn't see why, seeing as he liked that mudblood in red, perhaps he felt as though he had something to prove to the rest of their housemates, seeing as not many of them liked nor respected him.
