HP has a villain system but has become a popular character

Chapter 467 Isolated Island

This is always the case.

It briefly lifted him out of the abyss and gave him a little joy.

Smile at him, but never stay by his side for long.

He couldn't let go of his inner obsession and didn't have the confidence to fight for it.

The short hair in sight was gathered behind his head, dyed a warm golden color by the candlelight, and could no longer sway with Wenxiu Lord's steps as it once did.

His back is straight but thin, his voice is clear and gentle yet mature and steady, and his face has changed over time from an androgynous beauty to a more seductive and cold handsomeness.

During the days when Regulus was not around, Wenxiu Lord had become a familiar yet unfamiliar existence to him.

Looking at Wenxiu Lord, whose eyes were still gentle but with a hint of worry, Regulus suddenly felt a little pathetic.

He was watching all this silently, and he was also a bystander.

Seemingly involved yet unrelated, his soul was trapped forever in that rainy night. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it had already drowned him.

He was like being stranded on an island.

Regulus clenched his teeth with reluctance in his heart, and the jealousy and paranoia in his eyes seemed to want to turn into reality as he followed Wenxiu Lord.

But he did nothing, just stared quietly, like a stone statue.

Sirius, who was facing Wenxiu Lord, could see the madness beneath Regulus' expressionless face.

The smile on his face faded, and Sirius took a step forward, blocking Regulus's sight without leaving a trace.

The good brother is still harboring evil intentions, and as his elder brother, he naturally knows how painfully he has struggled for so many years.

But if he were to send his beloved to his younger brother, he would be the one who would suffer.

They share the same paranoia, and Sirius will never let go no matter what.

Anyway, Regulus has been patient for so many years, so maybe a few more decades won't be a problem.

As long as he kept his feelings hidden, Sirius was willing to give Regulus everything he had as compensation.

Looking away, Sirius raised the corner of his lips and rejoined the conversation between the few people.

The others naturally noticed something was wrong.

It’s just that the other few people were so disdainful of this person who was not even a threat, so they were too lazy to even provoke him secretly.

Anyway, Sirius is here, right?

After chatting briefly with a few people, Wenxiu Lord raised his hand to straighten the wrinkles on his robe, and waved his wand to eliminate all the remaining magic on his body that did not belong to Lucius.

"That's all for now. I'm going to take Lucius back now. Bye."

After waving goodbye to a few people, Wenxiu Lord walked to Lucius and Lily, and turned to face Regulus who was walking away from the crowd.

"See you tomorrow Regulus."

"See you tomorrow, Wenxiu." Regulus responded softly, and when he raised his hand to say goodbye, Wenxiu Lord had already turned around and left with Lucius.

The being that everyone was concerned about left, and the room, which could barely be considered lively, suddenly became quiet.

Little Barty left without saying goodbye, and Severus also disappeared on the spot after saying goodbye to Lily.

Regulus stood there and watched everyone in the room leave until only he and Sirius were left in the room.

Seeing the smile disappear from Sirius's face, Regulus met those warm grey eyes without fear.

With a slight curve on his lips, Regulus was the first to break the silence between the brothers.

"Brother won't leave?"

Sirius had an indifferent expression, his eyes were still fixed on him, but his tone was casual and relaxed.

"There's so much work to do in the family business, and you didn't leave, did you?"

Putting on a false smile, Regulus played with his wand and replied, "I still have this much time. But brother, the Order of the Phoenix still has a meeting to attend. It's not good to keep others waiting."

The wrist holding the wand turned, and a chair flew in front of Sirius.

He sat astride the chair, with the tip of his staff resting casually against the back of the chair.

"It's enough for Lily and James to go over there." Sirius stared at Regulus with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

He really hated the way Regulus was now, with a hypocritical and cold smile on his face to everyone.

Too lazy to play along with him, Sirius stood up and walked up to him.

"Regulus, sometimes giving up is not an option. This way you will suffer less."

"I can't help it. My last name is Black too."

The arc of his smiling thin lips was straightened and pursed into a straight line. Regulus' voice was a little cold. After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly again.

"Brother should be thankful that my last name is Black."

Taking a step forward to look Sirius in the eye, Regulus smiled a smile as bright as a summer day.

"How about it, brother? This smile of mine is pretty good, isn't it? Wen Xiu once said that I look like you when I smile like this."

Speaking of this, a layer of gloom appeared on Regulus's originally bright face, and he returned to his previous melancholy and alienation.

"I really envy you. You are my first choice for everything."

Regulus pulled his sleeves up to cover the hairband wrapped around his wrist, not giving Sirius a chance to speak.

"I have always been plan B, and I am willing to be that plan B, so brother, you must grasp what you want."

After saying this, Regulus glanced at Sirius's bulging forehead, then turned around and disappeared on the spot.

He has always been the bystander, the chosen one.

But jealousy will consume everyone, eventually turning them into horrible monsters who only know how to hate and plunder.

That was where Regulus would end up, and he knew it wouldn't be too far away.

Walking out of the deserted alley, Regulus looked up. The sky, which was always gray, seemed a little brighter than his dead eyes.

The air rushing into his nose was damp and cold. Regulus pulled his coat closer and disappeared into the hurried crowd.

"Rael, have you had dinner yet? Oh! Merlin! You are soaking wet, Kreacher!"

"My dear mistress, Kreacher is here."

As soon as he appeared in front of the two, Kreacher was scolded by Walburga.

"You stupid, lowly thing, don't you see what Leier looks like now? Go make a pot of hot tea and send it to the young master's room!"

Kreacher let out a sharp, piercing scream and cursed himself, and after being scolded by Walburga for a few more words, he grabbed his big ears and disappeared on the spot.

"This useless Kreacher, I will chop off his head sooner or later."

Regulus took out his wand to dry his clothes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, mother. I had dinner outside and just got caught in the rain on the way back. I won't get sick."

Walburga's hands pushed the hair on both sides of her cheeks behind her ears. Regulus saw that the worry on her face had faded, so he put away the smile on his face and spoke seriously.

"Mom, is Dad home now? I have something to tell you."

Seeing him like this, Walburga felt a little flustered and uneasy.

She pushed Regulus upstairs. "No matter what, you have to take a hot bath first. I'll ask Kreacher to put the potion on the coffee table in your room. Remember to drink it."

"Okay mother."

As a son, he naturally had to accept the concern of his parents. Helplessly, Regulus could only wait until he had sorted himself out before telling them his future plans.
