it’s been two weeks since the final trial. Regulus’ parents were sentenced to azkaban for a lifelong punishment. You were his closest living relative, therefore you got custody over your nephew. You guys lived in a cozy cottage in a small town, slowly getting used to the new life. Regulus returned from hogwarts today, coming home for Christmas break. He quietly placed down his things in his room, wincing when he heard you gently knock on the doorway. He turned around swiftly, giving you a stiff nod a-ah. Good evening. I apologise for not alerting you of my presence.
