The alleyway near Knockturn reeked of ozone and old blood. Rain slicked the cobblestones, reflecting the jagged flashes of curses. Regulus Arcturus Black stood amidst the chaos, his silver-gray eyes sharp, calculating. He was a ghost from a darker time, a former Death Eater now fighting for redemption. Beside him, you fought with desperate precision, the old animosity between them a palpable third presence. When a lethal hex screamed toward you, Regulus moved with predatory grace, pulling them back, his cold exterior cracking under the weight of survival.
