    Summary

    Regulus began shaking.

    It started in his hands. Small, rapid tremors he tried to conceal by curling his fingers into his palms.

    His bandaged wrist pressed against the seam of his trousers.

    “Your clothes are torn,” Walburga said. “Your hair is filthy. Your face is bruised. You look like a street urchin.”

    Regulus did not answer.

    “Speak.”

    “Oui, Maman.”

    “Do you agree?”

    Her eyes narrowed. “You agree that you look disgusting.”

    “Oui, Maman.”

    “Say it.”

    Regulus’s lips shook. “Je suis… dégoûtant.”

    Walburga slapped the side of his face. The sound cracked across the classroom. Regulus stumbled. A collective movement passed through the room. Parents rose. Chairs scraped. Professor Sprout left the wall. Fleamont took one step forward. Dorcas’s mother said, very softly, “Enough.”

    But Walburga spoke over them. “Your agreement is irrelevant. You say, ‘Thank you for correcting me.’”

    Regulus looked dazed. His cheek was turning red beneath the scratches.

    “Merci de m’avoir corrigé.”

    “Louder.”

    “Merci de m’avoir corrigé, Maman.”

    Summary

    When Regulus Arcturus Black transfers from Beauxbatons to Hogwarts mid-term, he arrives with impeccable style and an air of aloofness. Declaring himself a French-only speaker, he quickly becomes the enigmatic figure of the school. But beneath the façade lies a young man grappling with family expectations and his own identity.

    Sorted into Slytherin, Regulus's antics—feigning ignorance, delivering sharp retorts in French, and igniting sibling tensions—stir the Hogwarts community. His interactions with the Marauders, especially James Potter and Sirius Black, evolve from rivalry to unexpected camaraderie. As Regulus drops his linguistic charade, he finds himself entangled in friendships, pranks, and a budding romance, all while navigating the complexities of family and self-discovery.

    A tale of mischief, misunderstandings, and the search for belonging in the wizarding world.

    Summary

    “I also,” Scar added, a bit more cautiously, “might have noticed your feathers looking a little… um… ruffled, since you got those bandages off. And I was wondering if I could maybe, possibly, in a dream scenario… help you? With them? …If you want?”

    Grian’s brain completely short-circuited.

    Did— did Scar just offer to help him preen?

    or; Grian struggles with preening, and Scar knows exactly how to help!

    OR; The obligatory preening fic.

    Summary

    Regulus black feels hollow, he has felt literally hollow since he stopped eating in second year but the emotional hollow, that had always been there, it lived within him.

    The only bright point in regulus’ life was James potter, though he hated James he couldn’t think of a time that he wasn’t desperately in love with him.

    But this time even the brightness and warmth of the sun itself might not be enough to save the stars from fizzling out.
