The Great Pretender

The Regulus Black Discussion Thread

Heh sweatdrop . I feel the need to explain the threat title. I am currently listening to my Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie soundtrack. There is a song on there called "The Great Pretender" and the more I listen to it, the more it sounds like Regulus to me. Not sure why, but it does!

Anyway, welcome to the place to discuss Regulus Black, and NOT R.A.B. as they are not- as yet- the same person. I want to discuss what we know about Regulus so far.

I consider myself the resident expert on Regulus Black, and I would love nothing more for some of you to discuss things with me so you can see why I see Regulus like I do ninja .

Fan Art

On His Knees
Found at Artistic Alley. It has a companion drabble that goes with it that I can't seem to find sad .

The Capture of Regulus Black
Done by Ani. Found on Artistic Alley. I think one of those Death Eaters is Bellatrix, and if I remember correctly the other was Snape. I just love the mood of this picture whee .

Family
Another Ani picture, on Artistic Alley again. It's Peter, Barty Crouch Jr, and Regulus. She thinks they joined the DEs because they were kind of like a surrogate family to those three. I can see her point.

Regulus Portrait
Yet another Ani picture. Just a random picture of Regulus whee .

Regrets
Found on a Deviant Art search. He looks so sad, doesn't he sad ?

Forgive Me Please
A picture I requested from my friend. Another sad Regulus picture.

Tourjours Pur
From Artistic Alley. First peice of Regulus art I ever found besides my own.

Mourning Regulus
From the Deviant Art search. A picture of what Regulus's funeral might have been like. First panel is Narcissa and Bellatrix. Second, the outside of the tomb. Third, family with his mother crying in front of the urn. Fourth, same only darker.

Tim Burton Regulus
Deviant Art search. How I think Regulus would look if Tim Burton got a hold of him.

Reflections of Regulus
A picture my friend drew while listening to Creed. Where you aware that most Creed songs apply to Regulus?

Brothers
I have one word for this picture. SQUEE!

Young Regulus
Deviant Art search. Isn't he a kawaii little first year?

Random Regulus
Just some random Regulus from that same search. Currently my desktop.

AU Quidditch Regulus
Just thought I'd randomly throw in one of mine sweatdrop .

Okay, first topic of discussion.

Is Regulus really dead?

I don't think so. Why? Well for two reasons. The first is because it is over emphasized. Whenever Regulus is mentioned, the fact that he is Sirius's brother and that he is dead is brought up. Every single time.

Now, this tells me two things. One is that Jo wants us to remember his relationship to Sirius. Why? Not sure. There could be lots of reasons. The second is that she really wants us to believe that he's dead. Like Peter. Except, Peter wasn't dead. For that reason, I don't think Regulus really is either.

The second reason is because he was killed "off-screen". I get this idea from Peter. Like Lily and James, Peter was supposedly killed before the books. However, he wasn't killed at all. Unlike Lily and James, who we have twice seen proof of their death with Harry hearing them around the Dementors and them coming out of Voldemort's wand, we have seen nothing to prove Regulus's death but we've heard an awful lot about it. Just like Peter, the other death eater who came back to life. Even Barty Crouch Jr. kind of pulled the same stunt.

Dumbledore tells Draco:

Quote:

He [Voldemort] cannot kill you if you are already dead...we can hide you more completely than you can possibly imagine...

~HBP, US First Edition, pgs 591 and 592.

This is just before Harry finds the note from R.A.B.. Could it be, perhaps, that we are supposed to remember Regulus, regardless whether or not he is actually R.A.B. It would seem so, as he was mention so many times toward the begining of the book. If we were supposed to remember Regulus, might it also be true that this statement- which many have used for proving Dumbledore is still alive- is supposed to clue us in to the fact that the Order was hiding Regulus like this? And that perhaps Sirius had not been told because, at the time, Dumbledore seems to have though Sirius was the spy since he was advising James not to use him as their Secret Keeper?

Interesting theory...I wonder sometime...Regulus might be the character that knows about the other horocruxes or Severus' not so guilty killing of the Headmaster...*shrugs* It has potential.

Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2005 9:56 pm

Well...how else could Harry figure it out? I mean, it's not like The Dark Lord left a trail of bread crumbs for him to follow. He needs a guide of some kind. Not a mentor. More someone who is helping for his own self interest rather then the greater good ninja .

*imagines Voldemort leaving breadcrumb trails to his horocruxes.* Now! No one will find them! Hahahaha!

*snicker* Now I've got an image of Harry and Hermione as Hansel and Grettle. Thanks a lot Remmie.

Isn't the imagination a wonderful and frightening thing?

Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2005 4:04 am

Maybe R.A.B is a character we know. Who has been in disguise all this time! And has somehow come into contact with Harry (our narrator) without Sirius seeing him and giving him away! Wouldn't that be cool? If it turned out R.A.B was someone we knew all along? *Dances a jig* Who could it be? Who who who?

Oh! That is an interesting though.

What if its Mundungus? I mean, well what if Regulus were Mundungus and the REAL Mundungus doesn't even know about the order?

Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2005 10:21 am

It would be awesome, if he was hiding among the characters we already know. It would be hilarious if he was Mundungus or maybe Moody and he really does drink polyjuice potion from his flask.
It would make sense for him to be alive, because Voldy defiantly isn't leaving breadcrumbs. xd That just evokes the weirdest metal image of Voldemort in a blue cape skipping around a forest throwing bread crumbs out of a flower covered basket on his arm. Sorry about that. Sirius said that he didn't think Regulus was killed by Voldemort himself, maybe Sirius was right. Maybe Snape was the one assigned to kill him and he didn't go through with it. Voldemort himself seems much less likely to screw up so that Regulus would live without him knowing.

I like that theory. I've always imagined Snape being the one sent to kill him, and then kind of throwing it at Sirius. Reminding him, telling him, tormenting him with it. Just because it sounds like such a Snape like thing to do.

As for the Voldemort skipping through the forest...that is both great and somewhat disturbing!

That almost completely convinced me that it is, infact, regalus. You all have such brilliant theories, and if he WAS Moody I would probably crap myself laughing because it sounds so surreal and funny that the fact that Reggie was staring at us in our face, with his mismatched eyes.

Hugs for Reggie all round.

I am actually now totally in love with the idea that Regulus is hidden amoung the order as someone we already know.

Heh, now I just have to tell my friend and convince HER and we're set.
