"A New Era at Hogwarts"

Regulus walked into the Great Hall, his eyes scanning the room as he made his way to the Black table. The long tables were laden with golden plates, goblets, and silverware, and the ceiling was enchanted to look like a clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The room was filled with the chatter of students and the sound of clinking glasses, but as Regulus entered, a sudden hush fell over the room. Heads turned, and eyes widened as Regulus made his way through the crowds. His sleek hair, clear skin, and sparkling eyes seemed to radiate an aura of confidence and charm, drawing attention from every corner of the room. The Slytherin students, in particular, seemed to be staring at him with a mixture of curiosity and admiration. Regulus's family, the Blacks, had always been known for their dark and foreboding presence, but Regulus's transformation over the summer had changed him dramatically. He no longer looked like the awkward, acne-ridden boy who had left Hogwarts the previous year. Instead, he exuded an air of self-assurance and charisma that was impossible to ignore. As he approached the Black table, his parents, Druella and Cygnus, smiled at him with pride. His siblings, Sirius, Bellatrix, and Narcissa, looked at him with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. Regulus took his seat, feeling like the center of attention, and his mother leaned over to whisper something in his ear. "Remember, Regulus, you're not just representing yourself, you're representing the Black family. Make us proud," she said, her eyes gleaming with expectation. Regulus nodded, feeling a surge of determination. He was ready to take on the new year, and he was determined to make a name for himself at Hogwarts. As he looked around the room, he caught the eye of a girl with long, curly brown hair and bright green eyes. She was smiling at him, and Regulus felt a sudden jolt of interest. Who was she, and why was she looking at him like that? Regulus's curiosity was piqued, and he found himself wondering if this year was going to be more interesting than he had anticipated.
