Regulus Black grows up believing in everything the Black family stands for - blood purity, tradition, and obedience. As the younger brother, he is raised to follow without question, especially after Sirius is sorted into Gryffindor and becomes the family's disappointment. Suddenly, all expectations fall on Regulus, and he does everything he can to live up to them.
This story follows Regulus through his early years at Hogwarts as he makes friends, discovers his passions, and slowly begins to question the beliefs he was raised with - including his faith in the Dark Lord. At the same time, Sirius is carving out his own path, rebelling against his family, choosing freedom over blood, and drifting further away from the brother he once loved.
The Brightest Stars of Black is a story about two brothers growing up on opposite sides of the same family, shaped by different choices, different pressures, and different kinds of courage. It's about loyalty, mistakes, love, and the bond that never fully breaks - even when everything else does.
