19. Jelly Legs
It was getting difficult to walk and breathe at the same time. The effect over all was so reminiscent of a jelly legs jinx that when Regulus glanced nervously behind him, he half expected to see his brother, grinning. But no. Sirius wouldn’t be here. Sirius wouldn’t be in this dark , unknown room where new recruits shuffled fearfully.
He wanted to leave, but he would regret it if he did. He needed to do this for his family and for the hundreds of wizarding children coming into the world every day that would need to live their lives in oppression and secrecy broken carelessly by mudbloods.
Regulus wasn’t quite sure how, but the silence deepened. He supposed it had been at first accompanied by whispers he could only just hear, but now it was so complete it was almost a sound in itself. His heart thudded. He didn’t dare turn his head, and he didn’t have to as the Dark Lord walked into his field of vision, taking his place at the front of the circle, blood-red eyes flashing.
“Welcome, my Death Eaters, to initiation.”
Regulus let out a shaky breath, his chest collapsing twice unevenly as he exhaled. |
