What's In A Name
When he was younger, Regulus pronounced his name like regular. And he was regular. He played with his laughing older brother, and listened to Sirius complain about prejudice and their mother. Then Sirius became a Gryffindor, and when Regulus became a Slytherin, he found Gryffindors had nothing to do with Slytherins. For the first time he truly heard the words of his mother, words about mudbloods and purebloods. He began to pronounce his name like regal. He began to think of himself as royalty. Regulus was now too regal to talk to those below him -- filthy muggle-lovers like his brother.
