Where: Regulus's place
When: BACKDATED: to just after this
What: No one loves you like family.
Status/Rating: Incomplete, lowish?
Too much of it wasn't acceptable.
Rodolphus had no reason to lie to her, but a sharp and vicious voice lashed out from the caverns of her mind that it just wasn't possible. How could Sirius? After
The business with Sirius was harder to refute. He'd always been so willful, which was only to have been expected, really, but he'd been strong. Heirs were to be indulged and placated and tolerated to a certain degree and clearly, clearly her aunt and uncle had gone too far in attempting to reign Sirius in. Or maybe not enough. Trying to keep her insides from tearing themselves to shreds, she redirected: Regulus. He wasn't a traitor. He couldn't be. She didn't care at all whoever had come before her. Maybe she'd been Imperiused. (In which case, what the hell had Rodolphus been thinking, letting her carry on like an imbecile? But she could yell at him about that later.)
Her fist all but hammered against Regulus's door. She could believe Rodolphus about Sirius, even if it killed something soft within her. But not Regulus-- who'd always been the better behaved of the two, the more understanding, the more responsible, the more--- he was a perfect choice for the head of their family. Something was simply... wrong. Rodolphus had misunderstood. He must have. She loved him, she did, but Regulus was family. As she waited, she tried to curb the impulse to just blast the bloody door down, tried to pull her reflex indignation back into herself.
Something was wrong. And she'd simply find a way to fix it. Or so help her, she was going to kill whoever was responsible.
