While it may seem like a boring job, Regulus Black's position in the Department of Record Keeping is extremely important. He records each and every Muggleborn Witch and Wizard that joins their society so that they're easier to keep track of; their safety is all-important and knowing who and where they are at all times is the best and most efficient way to make sure they're safe. It's a necessary evil, of course. The young official is well-known for his sharp smile and razor wit and the haughty way he holds himself even while registering eleven year old children into the system and assuring confused Muggle parents that it's for their child's safety and that nothing is going to happen to their child while under the care of the Ministry of Magic so long as every regulation is followed.
When he's not working in his office Regulus is out socializing with his coworkers, pulling out all the stops and rising through the ranks in the way that only the oldest and purest of families know how - sneakily, smoothly, and with lots of money changing hands. Still, he's easy to find, a young nineteen and often walking alongside one of the heads of other departments, feigning interest in whatever they want to talk to him about. Feel free to rescue him from this self-imposed hell.
diagon alley
For all the big bad awful Death Eater nonsense behind Regulus Black's demeanor and everything in his life, he's still a teenager barely nudging toward twenty. It means that he's going to spend down time however he pleases, whether it be eating ice cream at Fortescue's or perusing a book shop, many of his hobbies are those of a normal young man. He's not the type to be openly social unless prodded, but he's still willing enough to talk if someone approaches him no matter their blood status - though his attitude will vary depending on what that may be.
Most free days are spent in said book shops, so whether you're going for school texts or for pleasure novels, you're almost bound to run into him. Perhaps literally.
knockturn alley
Regulus is quiet and hard to find in Knockturn Alley but he's there, either in Borgin and Burke's trading in antiquities or elsewhere purchasing potions ingredients of a more sinister nature. It's difficult to tell whether he's meant to be there or not, whether he's trying to run a sting operation for another department, or if this is a personal errand, but whenever he does go, he never leaves empty-handed whether it's with a sack of galleons from selling or new purchases from buying.
It shouldn't matter which, really - and if you're Muggleborn, you probably shouldn't be back here to begin with. It's far too dangerous. He might just have to escort you out. Hell, even if you're a Half-Blood. Point is, it's not safe in general, and if you don't know what you're doing you might get yourself burned, literally or figuratively.
death eater headquarters
Not all of Regulus' time away from the Ministry is free time. There's the prerequisite Death Eater meetings and planning and everything all of that entails and honestly a lot more rubbish down time in headquarters than he'd like to spend. Like today, which can be nearly any day he's found, he's boredly settled on a sofa with one leg crossed over the other, foot jiggling slightly as he reads the newspaper to see if anything interesting - or inflammatory - has been written. He'll make note of anything important but really it's just a lot of lazy waiting that he doesn't want to be doing when he could be doing real work, having real relaxation time, or doing... literally anything else.
A real Death Eater mission, even. Just a thought.
m.i.a.v.i
un: r.a.b.
Does anyone know if the shortage at Fortescue's is over yet? I'd contact directly but this bloody thing hasn't been working properly all day.
