A couple days pass and that morning when Regulus went downstairs for breakfast he got told some news.

"Regulus, we have written to your cousin Bellatrix a couple days ago as you know. She responded, She will be coming after lunch," Walburga informs her son

"of course Mother," Regulus says "I'm sure what Bella will tell me will be most enlightening. I am eagerly looking forward to it."

"That's good. Bellatrix is in the inner circle or that's what we were told. She will indeed be very insightful," Orion informs Regulus

"of course, her in sight would be most useful," Regulus says "would it be possible for me to be dismissed?"

With his parents permission he leaves the dining room and heads back to his own. As he realized with this, he will most likely be deep enough that he cannot back out. So before he headed to downstairs he wanted to get some clippings. 

So Regulus calls out "Kreacher!" 

The house elf arrived and asks bowing "Yes master Regulus?" 

"Can you bring any clippings, about the death eater attacks that you can find Kreacher," Regulus commands 

Bowing Kreacher leaves with a pop. Regulus started to understand how much planning needs to go into all of this . He needed to track all of their past movements So that he can understand what their next moves are, So that he can report to Dumbledore.

Kreacher soon returns with a stack of news paper clippings 

"These are all of the ones that I could find for now, master Regulus," Kreacher says "I will try to find more master."

"Thank you, Kreacher" Regulus says "Would please be kind enough and fix me lunch when it's time. Also let my parents knew I'll be having lunch in my room."

"Anythingelse Master Regulus?" Kreacher asks

" Please call me when Bella gets here," Regulus replies

Nodding the house elf leaves. Regulus sighs looking at the Stack of newspaper clippings Kreacher bought him. But first a letter to Dumbledore.

Dear professor Dumbledore,

I hope you are doing well. I am writing to you regarding our talk at the end of last term. I know you suggested that I wait till at least sixth year before I join and act as a double agent. 

However, things are moving quicker than anticipated. My family is pushing harder for me to join the Dark Lord's ranks, and today, my cousin Bellatrix is arriving to ensure I'm brought fully into the fold. I have reason to believe she's going to provide valuable information regarding their current plans and targets.

I understand the risks of becoming too involved too early, but circumstances might not allow me to wait. I'm beginning to track their movements through recent Death Eater attacks and piecing together a pattern. I intend to use this information to predict their future plans.

I am committed to this cause, but I need guidance on how best to proceed under such pressure. I trust you understand the delicate balance I must maintain within my family and the danger of arousing their suspicions. Your advice would be invaluable.

I hope to meet with you soon to discuss the next steps.

Yours sincerely,
Regulus Arcturus Black

Regulus set down his quill, reread the letter, and sealed it. He carefully tucked it into his robes, planning to send it via owl when Bellatrix's visit was over. The weight of what he was doing settled heavier on his shoulders, but there was no turning back now.
