Hey, brother by Equinox Chick
Summary: How desperate were the last days of Regulus Black's life? With a girlfriend in danger, and an increasing dread for his fate, he turns to the only one who can help him.

But will Sirius listen?

This poem/rap was written for the MC Kreacher challenge set by the wondrous Julia (the opaleye). I chose to base the form and feel of the rap on Stan by Eminem featuring Dido. It probably helps if you know the song, but basically there are three voices in this.

1. Hey, brother by Equinox Chick

Hey, brother by Equinox Chick
I sit here waiting here for you
To come back to my side.
I ache to hold you in my arms
And feel our lips collide.
I feel your sorrow breaking through,
Your whole world crashing down.
But I know that you will not return
No, you’ll not return.



Hey, brother, I regret all this stuff in my life,
But I want you to realise
How much I’ve changed.
I’m not the same fanatic
With a tattoo on my arm.
We are family and I can’t do you no harm.

I’ve met this girl, I think you’d like her,
But life with her has just got harder.
The passion is strong,
And our feelings so intense.
They burn my insides,
The pain won’t relent.
But she’s a Mudblood, brother,
Which means she's gonna suffer.

I sit here waiting here for you
To come back to my side.
I ache to hold you in my arms
And feel our lips collide.
I feel your sorrow breaking through,
Your whole world crashing down.
But I know that you will not return
No, you’ll not return.



Hey, brother, did you get my letter?
I need to talk this through
With no one but you.
I’ve been given this mission
And it scares me to hell,
Delivering my girl to her death knell.

Hey, brother, I thought things between us could get better.
But you ignoring me, Sirius, makes me shiver.
I need you to help me,
Save Marlene for me.
She’s a fighter,
And if you hide her,
I’ll pledge my soul to you forever.

I sit here waiting here for you
To come back to my side.
I ache to hold you in my arms
And feel our lips collide.
I feel your sorrow breaking through,
Your whole world crashing down.
But I know that you will not return
No, you’ll not return.


Hey, brother, what don’t you understand?
I’m begging for help,
And you’re letting me down.
She’s having my kid,
Situation’s got extreme.
Bellatrix is screaming
Filthy lies to me.

Hey, brother, I turned to you
And found you lacking.
Marlene’s gone for good,
Had to send her packing.
I decided my life can only end one way,
The Dark Lord’s vengeance will rule come what may.

I sit here waiting here for you
To come back to my side.
I ache to hold you in my arms
And feel our lips collide.
I feel your sorrow breaking through,
Your whole world crashing down.
But I know that you will not return
No, you’ll not return.



Hey, brother, listen, I just got your letter.
Marlene is safe; the Order will protect her,
Now, I’m coming to find you.
I’m an hour away.
I have a list of regrets
And words I must say.

Hey, brother, where are you?
I’m waiting in the street.
Can’t stay here forever,
I thought you’d want to meet.
We can talk this through,
Get rid of all our hate.
Hey, Regulus, I’m here
Let’s defy our fate.
End Notes:
I sort of surprised myself with this one.
