Regulus survived the Grey Mist, learned from Dumbledore that light could make it recede, and expanded his spellcraft while training and studying at Hogwarts. After returning home for Easter, he practiced Fiendfyre with Orion and went back to Hogwarts more capable but still seeking the power to choose his own path.

Regulus prepared for Voldemort’s growing influence by securing an escape through Fawkes, involving Sirius in his plans, and bringing his family to the Lestrange Christmas banquet. Bellatrix called for Purebloods to reclaim power, leaving Regulus to reckon with how little time remained before the Death Eaters acted publicly.
Regulus defeated Bellatrix in a duel at Lestrange Manor, drew Voldemort’s attention, and left the estate in ruins after Voldemort took Bellatrix away alive. In the aftermath, Regulus reconsidered the powers within himself while Lily, Snape, and the wizarding families reacted to the events and their consequences.
Regulus developed Quassare from the Whomping Willow’s oscillating Magic, then demonstrated its potential to Orion and considered how the Philosopher’s Stone might enable a chain reaction. After returning to Hogwarts, Regulus entered the Slytherin Common Room and was surrounded by a group of students.

Regulus settled into the Black family’s Provence estate, developed Alchemical tools, and defeated a smuggling gang sent against him. After France’s Ministry agreed to handle the attack as a local crime, he visited Andromeda, while events elsewhere revealed Baruk’s immense power.
