    Summary

    Regulus waits for hours. For hours, he stands on that cursed cliff, the black waters churning and gushing and crashing far below. Even as far up as he is, the air is heavy with spray. He breathes in the salt, and tries to cast his mind back to childhood visits the seaside. He can't. It smells too much like blood.There is an odd noise behind him, inhuman footsteps, nails on rock-Regulus spins around and finds a large, wet, dog. It's huge, and black. The dark eyes are wide and intelligent; far too intelligent to be a convenient stray. 
     
    Regulus laughs hysterically. He has been sent a Grim. An omen of death that should be sent to the unwary, not to someone who is attempting what is tantamount to suicide.  
     
    The Grim walks closer, eyes wary, and Regulus tells it helplessly, "It is alright, I already know." His voice doesn’t waver, and he takes a moment to be viciously proud of himself for that. "I am going to die."

    Or:

    Regulus hopes for a chance to say goodbye to Sirius, and somehow that changes everything.

    Summary

    Lord Voldemort pushed through with all magic and rage and apparated while following that pull of magic inside him that screamed Harry Potter.

    He landed in the middle of a bright, sunlit street filled with almost identical houses in a suffocating muggle place. Voldemort turned around, hissing at a child playing in their garden and making her run inside with a scream that might have delighted him any other day.

    His official return to the wizarding world was supposed to be dramatic, planned to perfection as the historical moment it was. Now his first official sighting was scaring children like some common ruffian. As always; his plans were utterly destroyed by Harry fucking Potter.

    OR

    After Nagini's attack on Mr Weasley in 5th year, Harry sneak off and steal the Prophecy without anyone noticing.

    Instead, Harry is safely behind the wards on Privet Drive when Voldemort realise he has the prophecy.

     

    If the summary seems familliar, it is because this is a re-writing of my older fic: If I cannot be loved I must be feared

    Cannon compliant up til christmas holls in 5th year.
