lls_mutantCouldn't help it. A rec, a theory, and a question, all concerning the Black Boys.
The Rec
If you haven't already, get yourself over to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shaggydogstail's journal and read Teenage Kicks, her Sirius-fanboying-Stubby fic. It's hysterical and true to life, but has a dark, mature undercurrent as well. It's absolutely darling and wonderful, well incorporated into the magical world and there need to be more fics like this- this sort of creative, haven't been there before type of thing.
The theory
Okay, I thought of this the other day. What did Voldemort do with the corpses of the people that were killed on his orders? Turned them into Inferi, right? (I assume that's why Caradoc Dearborn's body was never found.) Well, Regulus was killed, right? Wouldn't it be the ultimate irony if zombie!Regulus was guarding the false locket?
The question
How probable is it that Regulus is still alive and hiding under Stubby's name, or that Sirius was Stubby?
I'm gonna ignore the second for this paragraph, because that's up for debate, methinks. No one knows what Sirius did pre-war. I write him as an Auror because Fake!Moody tells Harry he thinks like an Auror when he's parroting Sirius, and writing Sirius as an Auror is FUN. But just because Sirius can think like an Auror doesn't mean he was one, in fact, there's a lot of good reasons why he wouldn't have been. But what about the first, that Regulus is Stubby?
If Regulus is alive (Stubby or not), there's something disconcerting about that. If he was, you'd think he would have told Dumbledore about the locket. There's two branches then: why is the locket still around (because we all know it's in the Black house and we saw it in OotP), and why did Dumbledore take Harry to go get the fake locket? You could argue that Dumbledore wanted to let Harry know about Regulus, but then why not just say, "Hey, Harry, there's this bloke you really should meet- Regulus Black. Pretty impressive, defied Voldie, etc."?
I know people have theories on this, and I'd like to hear them because I'm really in the mood to after reading Shaggy's fic. Of course, I still think Sirius is in the great window dressing in the sky (really, JKR, a CURTAIN!?), and zombie!Regulus was trying to bash Dumbledore's head in for being stupid, but I'd like to hear the other theories. So link me or comment me! :)
