1979
As the train stopped on platform 9 ¾, Regulus Black got off the scarlet train for the last time.
All around him were other people in Hogwarts excited to see their families and other people in his year who seemed to be excited and determined to do whatever their future holds.
But Regulus knew what his future held. Because it was Walburga who was holding that future, not him.
"Master Regulus," Kreacher said as Regulus walked over to the old house elf.
"Kreacher" Regulus said greeting him
As normal per every year, Kreacher apparated them to GrimmauldPlace.
But this year was not normal as every year, Because His life at Hogwarts was over, there was to hide, no sneaking out of Hogwarts to see the only light in his life, the sun, James Potter.
"Miss Black has requested that you greet her in the dining room as soon as possible," Kreacher stated
"Okay" Regulus replied, trying to keep the worry out of his voice.
Kreacher grabbed Regulus's trunks and apparated them to his room.
Regulus quickly fixed up his hair and walked into the dining room.
He thought to himself "This was it, it's all over,"
He walked into the room expecting to see the dark lord, ready to mark him as a death eater but inside the room were Walburga, and Genevieve Carrow, not the Dark Lord.
"Ah Regulus, sit down," His mother said with a sickenly fake sweet voice
He did as he was told and sat down.
The conversation started
Due to your brother becoming a blood traitor and bringing shame to our family name, you became the heir."
He nodded, he had heard this the day after Sirius left him.
"And because you are the last black, we have arranged a marriage between you and Genevieve's daughter Alecto." She said While Genevieve nodded enthusiastically.
