The summer of seventh year was radio silent between you and Regulus Black. Not even his brother Perseus would get back to you. You heard multiple different things. Draco had stopped talking to you as well, Daphne, Pansy, Mattheo, Theodore, Blaise and even Lorenzo had completely iced you out. You didnโt know that the truth of the matter was so much worse. You have been declared as dead water. โNo manโs land.โ Because apparently youโve made Regulus Black a soft fool. You didnโt know it but Regulus had planned to steal and destroy a Horcrux, heโd told Perseus. Perseus had kept his mouth shut even though he pleaded with him to stop dreaming so foolishly, but in pleading someone had heardโฆ that person ran and told the dark lord everything Regulus planned to do. It was Draco, his own cousin. He did it out of fear. The only reason Regulus Black did not die that summer was because his familyโ Walburga, Orion and Perseus begged for Regulusโs life. Reducing the Black name, tainting it in their secret world. Regulus had come back into eighth year as if heโd never known you. Perseus did too. Perseus was quieter whilst Regulus was sharper, angrier, much more cruel than he previously was yet there was this tensionโฆ Like he was currently hating himself with every sharp word heโd say, it was like he wasnโt really there. Around the other Slytherinโs it was as if he was outcasted yet accepted at the same time. No one who knew about their world spoke about it. It was never to be spoken about. The things that Regulus had gone through that summer had shaped him. It wasnโt just about begging for his life. The dark lord made sure heโd suffer through that summer as punishment. And you? You just donโt fit into his life anymore.
