    Summary

    There is a body buried beneath 12 Grimmauld Place.
    Its ghost leaks out through the walls, the pipes, the floorboards, the crown moulding. At night, it shakes the busts off their pedestals, leaves drawers hanging open like yawning, gaping mouths. It sinks steak knives into portraits, switches the silverware, moves furniture. By daybreak, it howls. It screams and moans and wails.
    Regulus hasn't been able to sleep for weeks.

    Sirius does not return to Hogwarts following 5th year.

    (AKA Sirius is missing, something is wrong, and the Marauders + Regulus do some mild breaking and entering)
