Green had never, in fact, been one of Regulus Black's favorite colors.

A collection of drabbles, snapshots in the lives of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, past and present. Completed for the Speed Drabble Challenge at first order. Light and dark and love and loss and above all, a life worth living.
