⠀⠀⠀Regulus Black had a terrible, terrible morning. He barely had any sleep last night, and when he finally did enter the valley of slumber, it was six in the morning and Walburga Black was already screaming at their poor house-elf, Kreacher, down in the kitchens. Tossing and turning didn't help the boy so instead, he got up to take a bath in hopes that it would wash away his exhaustion.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀When he entered the dining hall, dressed in formal, black robes and dark hair neatly brushed and styled, and face a blank canvas. He was greeted by a stiff nod from both his parents and cold hugs that sent shivers down his spine, his ribs full to the brim with chill and darkness. His father, Orion, set a strong hand on his shoulders and guided him to a chair that was on the right of the head chair of the long table. Walburga Black sat opposite him. Beside him was Bellatrix and opposite Bellatrix, was Narcissa. Other usual members of the noble House of Black were seated in their respective seats, and the only face missing from the table and Regulus' heart, was of Sirius Black, the person he loved most who abandoned him when he needed him the most.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀The table, with its silky and lacy black cloth and black platters, laden with delicacies from around the world, and dark candlewicks holding black candles, and the dim lighting of the room and the equally dark hearted people that sat and ate with him, continuously reminded him of the path of life that was laid out in front of him like a red carpet, so much that he felt nauseous and dizzy.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀The world that he knew was expressionless, cold, cruel, prejudiced, made of darkness, malicious, evil, manipulating and full of pride. Regulus knew nothing of the other side and thus, he continued to drown in the ocean of despair made up of the tears and sadness that had leaked out of the eyes of damned souls.
