Mmm I love fic that explores my favorite family!

The ending. Oh my. The last two paragraphs are genius. Overall I enjoyed the whole drabble, especially the idea of Orion teaching his sons in the Unforgiveables. I bet he sure stepped up instruction after Sirius was Sorted in Gryffindor.

The Blacks were surprisingly fun to play around with for the prompt. And Regulus is such an under-appreciated character I had to give him a spotlight for this.

I enjoyed writing a kid version of him, but it's sad to think that his family life probably was this messed up. ... Makes for great fic ideas, though.
