No one ever thought that a Hufflepuff and Slytherin would be seen together, let alone be getting along, but it happened. And it all started in Herbology. [marauders era] [the noah ackerman series] [highest rating: #4 in regulus black]

To someone with the talent and brains to match most of the teachers at Hogwarts, someone who's never known love or friendship but has to watch their brother be one of the most popular people in the school, the idea of becoming a Death Eater and gaining power and respect by utilizing his considerable skill to uphold his family's core beliefs seems to be an exciting opportunity. But what if it's not what it seems? He never wanted to kill anyone, never wanted to watch people be tortured, never wanted the only people who he ever cared about to become his enemies. And when Voldemort hurts the one creature who's still on his side, he realizes that even should it kill him, he, the only person who discovered how, had no choice but to destroy the Dark Lord. --- Blurb: Regulus stepped in, feeling bile rise in his throat as he looked out over the black expanse of water. So this is where he would reach his end. Without help, without friends, without someone to squeeze his hand and tell him he'd be alright, or even to just suck it up. --- Anything you recognize from Harry Potter belongs to J. K.
