Called Back
The slim figure of Regulus stepped into the Slytherin Common Room with caution, his left foot leading at a gauged pace. His expression was neutral as he made his way around the obstacles of the space, both those of an animate nature and those without life, without incident. The young Black's passage was unremarkable as his lower limbs allowed him ( Read more... ) -
As Usual
Regulus' feet were firmly planted on the deeply stained hardwood floor as his mother entered the dining room where he had recently completed consuming the customary meal of the morning. His forlorn plate rested on the table, isolated from all but the utensils with which it had been stripped of edible elements. Regulus' jaw moved, as if he meant to ( Read more... ) -
Journal: Seasonably
The immediate future seems like a long stretch of inactivity from my vantage point, to wit, the present. Currently my brother is visiting with Remus, and my parents are planning to leave for a brief trip tomorrow, possibly before I wake to the dawn. I'll be alone in Grimmauld Place, and thus I really don't expect any significant intellectual or ( Read more... ) -
Textual Shock
Regulus woke at number twelve Grimmauld Place to the refreshing and unmistakable sound of tense parental conversation conducted at a volume somewhere between normally dull speech and the kind of outburst usually reserved for Sirius. The room was already uncomfortably warm as the raven-haired boy slid out from under the thin coverlet and began to ( Read more... ) -
Expectant
Regulus' shoe tapped lightly upon the clean-swept floor to an oddly inaudible beat. The young Black stood just inside the closed aperture leading out of his parent's home, facing the extensive if obscured interior of the building - though not seeing it. His eyes were distant and unfocused as they stared out of an immobile mask.
"Waiting is only of ( Read more... ) -
Reckoning
The slim figure of Regulus stood unnaturally still before a solid wooden panel door, the pads of his fingertips almost touching the rough-hewn surface. His countance seemed devoid of expression, though upon uncomfortably close examination a small hint of something shined out through his eyes, shattering the well-maintained illusion of stolid ( Read more... ) -
Journal: Summer Haze
I really must state the fact that I've been reading excessively this break. Nothing of literary merit, however, mostly a number of historical texts and class preparation books. Does anybody have any recommendations for me? I'm up for almost all genres of fiction, provided I know what the book may contain in a general sense before perusing it. -
Disturbance
A smooth piece of stone danced an elegantly erratic path across the nearly still waters, disappearing into the darkness as it fled the artificial glory cast by the distant castle windows. The figure of the younger Black was outlined with reflected rays as he rose lazily to his feet and moved back from the thin band of shore that surrounded the lake ( Read more... ) -
Preparation For Plunge
A dark-haired figure sat hunched over a table at the back of the library, evidently focused on the small scrap of parchment before him. Regulus dashed off the last few words with a flourish, stuffing a quill and partially emptied vial of ink into his bag with decided haste. With imperceptibly increased caution, his left hand tucked the scrap of ( Read more... )
