regulus: mother and father completely ruined my life, i can’t stand them
sirius: and yet you’re wearing the gucci pajamas mother bought you and you’re currently online shopping using fathers credit card
regulus: they gave me a horrible childhood, they can make up for it by buying me things *turns to james* would you like a giraffe? there’s currently one for sale on craigslist for $70,000 and i think that’s just enough to make mother go crazy
james: omg yes yes yes
sirius:
sirius: wait buy me one too
remus: absolutely not, you are not bringing a giraffe to the dorm
regulus: come on remus, let them have their giraffes. i’ll buy you a cat
remus: this is not the regulus i’m used to, usually you always agree with me
regulus: today i’m trying to erase my childhood trauma by buying things
sirius finding out about regulus' death and all he can think of is how he failed to save his little brother three times. once when he ran away and didn't take reg with him, twice when reg got the mark, and thrice when reg died trying to do the right thing. it's all he can think of for months, it wrecks him emotionally and physically.
that's why, when james and lily got killed, he didn't care about getting caught anymore. he didn't care, because he failed to save both of his brothers, four times in total, so he knew he'd deserve whatever happened to him while going after peter.
