"He betrayed the Dark Lord. He was unworthy. He was no Death Eater. Now
Death has eaten him." He handed over the heavy silver ring with the Black

their minds. Regulus had betrayed Lord Voldemort. Finally, Sirius

Finally.

He glanced up through glasses blurred with frost, and saw the families in
their homes, laughing happily. They were together. No one was screaming.
Not even the Muggles.
He sighed, telling himself it was the cold that was making him sniffle.
Not tears, surely.
"Happy Christmas, Percy, old man."
