Running down the empty halls of number twelve Grimmauld Place, Regulus panted and heaved as he made his way to his room. His parents had been out of the house, visiting family friends, when he discovered something truly horrific. He didn't know who he was going to tell, but he knew that it needed to be done quickly.

Regulus would have considered going to his brother, but he quickly dismissed that thought since Sirius Black wasn't the rational type. Dumbledore was next on the list. He knew that it was the right thing to tell Dumbledore; obviously, he was a wise old man, but Regulus never found him trustworthy.

"I found something out that you're never going to believe me."

"Try me," she stated, leaning back on the couch, waiting for the boy to continue as her patience was running a little thin.

"Alright, alright," he started. "I was over at the Malfoys for a meeting since that's where they are being held right now. I was walking around the manor afterward, trying to find where Cissa had gone off too. That's when I heard whispering from the Malfoy's study. Abraxas Malfoy, Nicholas Avery, and Hugo Rosier were all in there with the dark lord. They were talking about something, someplace. I didn't manage to hear the beginning of the conversation, but I think I got the most important part. Apparently, the dark lord has created something. Dark magic was something I heard. The word started with an h, but I can't remember what it was. I-"
