[Regulus isn't here right now, in this drafty, dingy home. Relatively more maintained than usual, but the dust is gathering and the curtains are tearing at the seams. Frantic footsteps and loud shouting can be heard, dimly. Muffled. Indistinct. Sometimes a phrase makes it through. "Turned out like the blood traitor."]

[The parchment focused on a tapestry. Vast and well cared for, except for the holes strategically burned into it every once in awhile. There's one more hole than there used to be. One less person that lives here. One less person part of this family.]

[ ... nope, not getting much sense out of this ] A family tree?

[treatinferiors.livejournal.com]

Of a sort. Yes. Mine.

[loyalbound.livejournal.com]

Would I be correct in assuming this wasn't an intentional post?

[treatinferiors.livejournal.com]

Very correct.

[loyalbound.livejournal.com]

I thought as much. There's been more than usual during the past week.

[treatinferiors.livejournal.com]

I hadn't noticed. [No big mystery why.]

[negative-five.livejournal.com]

... but that's barbaric!

[treatinferiors.livejournal.com]

Stay out of this, mudblood.

[negative-five.livejournal.com]

Wh-what do you mean? [Thaaaat one hurt.] I'm your friend!

[treatinferiors.livejournal.com]

You caused all this! I should never have--

Just leave me alone.

[negative-five.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about?! Because we're friends, they're... throwing you out of the family?! Why?

[treatinferiors.livejournal.com]

Because being friends with you-- with your sort, it makes me a traitor to my sort.

Is that clear enough for you?

[madblackblood.livejournal.com]

[Still virused. And confused because she doesn't remember any of this.]

...Regulus...?

[treatinferiors.livejournal.com]

...Bellatrix. Hello. [He was wrong. It could get worse.]

[madblackblood.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[treatinferiors.livejournal.com]

It was a mistake, I swear. They-- they tricked me.

[madblackblood.livejournal.com]

Who is they?

[why-so-me.livejournal.com]

If I didn't think this was a virus, I might congratulate you.

[treatinferiors.livejournal.com]

Shut up.

[why-so-me.livejournal.com]

There's worse things in the world than not being involved with them any more.

But I doubt you're going to listen to me.

[treatinferiors.livejournal.com]

Why should I? You've made your views quite clear.

[why-so-me.livejournal.com]

You don't need them, you know.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

....Is there going to be a pop quiz later on?

[the point




his head]

[treatinferiors.livejournal.com]

Yes. A million pop quizzes.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

I'll start studying.
