Black Beginnings


Tradition is the golden thread
that binds our lives together,
weaving through every memory
sweet ties that last forever.
It shines a light on every face,
adds luster to the commonplace,
reminds us of a distant song
and tells our hearts where we belong.

Wrapping around us in the cold,
it holds and warms us, young and old;
sustains us through the storm and strife;
infuses meaning into life,
and witnesses that we are one –
This family lasts forever.
Tradition is the golden thread
that binds our souls together.

— Define (Divine) Tradition by Susan Noyes Anderson


Raised in one of the most infamous and unchanging pure-blood families in the wizarding world, Regulus Arcturus Black grows up knowing a few simple truths: the Blacks are superior, tradition and blood are everything, and the outside world is a place of unspeakable evil; Muggles eat little boys and other wizards would gladly let them. This is why he is kept inside, and why his world is limited to a distant, rebellious brother, a volatile mother, a stern father – and his cousins, of course: strange Andromeda, perfect Narcissa, and devout Bellatrix with her dangerous talk and promises of greatness. With the wizarding world moving towards open war, Regulus learns to see the world exactly as he is meant to.
