Regulus Black OneShots : How you meet and how you fell in love.
You meet Regulus at age 8 when your family went to dinner at his house.
Your mother looked at you with loving eyes as she dressed you up in a beautiful velvet dark green dress, with a white peter pan collar peeking through over the dress's neckline and a black ribbon that she laced on your hair.
" My darling, we are going to dinner at the black's family house. Are you going to behave? " Your mom asks calmly with a small smile.
" Yes, mommy! " You scream with enthusiasm while clapping your hands.
Your mom releases a small giggle as she holds you against her body and carries you to the hallway, where your dad tied a tie while looking at the mirror. He seemed so focused on the task that he didn't even notice you two coming.
" Let's help daddy, darling. " Your mother says as she puts you down on the floor and walks closely to your dad.
You watched from below as your dad's focused expression soften while looking at your mother that smiled at him while tying his tie. They shared a small kiss.
" Thank you, my love. Where would I be without you? " Your dad affirms with a smile that makes your mom laugh.
" Probably still lost in the Hogwarts corridors, looking for the divination classroom. Like a ghost." Your mom says raising an eyebrow at him.
" Oh, shut up! " Your dad exclaims playfully with a smile as your mom laughs while picking you up from the floor.
You were quite the luckiest 8 years old for having parents this happy and playful. You three walked together out of the house into the street. Your mom linked her arm with your dad and hold you tight into her chest.
" Hold tight to mommy, darling. " She asked and you quickly put your arms around your mom's neck as she thought you.
" Here we go my loves." Your dad announces and you three quickly apparate into the air.
You felt as if your body was being blown into the air like dust and squished into a tunnel and once you notice, both of you three had apparated and were right in front of the Black's Family Mansion. Both of you three walked in silence to the door. Your dad knocked on the door. A few minutes after a woman in a long deep green dress, with black hair tied tightly into a bun opened the door, and as she saw your parents a smile formed on her lips.
" Hannah Lee, Cesar, and little Y/n. Welcome! " She claims as she gives a kiss on the cheek to your dad as he enters the house.Â
" Walburga, my best friend, it's been a while! " Your mother claims with a laugh and kisses her cheek and hugs her lightly.
"It's been so long, I have so much to tell you. " She claimed has both her and your mother, who carried you entered the house and she closed the door behind you two.
Your mother puts you on the floor. The lady with black hair and black eyes like a raven looked at you and smiled.
" You can go play with Regulus if you want his in that room over there with his big brother Sirius. " She claimed and pointed to the room on the left of the corridor you were both in.
Walburga and your mother continued talking happily through the hallway until they disappeared into the last room. You shyly walked into the room on the left, hearing the voices of two young boys playing. You peaked through the jarring gap in the open door.Â
Two boys were playing with what looked like wizard's chess. One of them was taller, had blue eyes and jet black hair that fell just below his hair slicked black and the other one was smaller had curly fluffy hair also jet black but had raven eyes like his mother and both were quite pale-skinned. They were laughing while the two figures on the chessboard destroyed each other.
" Hum, hello? " You claimed as you opened the door more to enter the room.
The boys at first got caught out of guard and tried to hide the chess game, probably thinking that you were their parents but they quickly got relaxed as they noticed that it was you.
" Hey, I'm Sirius and this is my Lil brother Regulus. " He claimed to have you got closer to them.
" I'm y/n. Can I call you Reggie? Your name is too long. " You asked with a smile and Reguluslightly blushed as you looked him in the eyes.
" Hum... yes. " He stutters out shyly.
" Don't mind him, he's a little shy with new people. " Sirius claimed to ruffle his brother's hair. Regulus quickly ignored him annoyed as he brushed his hair back in place with his hands.
Various hours passed and you three became great friends, just playing wizard chess, eating fudge flies and pumpkin pastries both of you three plotted to steal from the kitchen with success. You were all showing each other the collections you had from the chocolate frogs cards.Â
" Y/n, Will you be my friend forever? " Regulus asked playfully holding your hand in a handshake.
" Of course I will! " You exclaimed with a scream, letting go of his hand and hugging him.
Regulus gasped at the sudden movement but he hugged you back tightly with a small giggle. You both hear the door of the room you were in open and you let go to see Regulus mother, with a stern face.
" Quit playing kids, time for dinner. " Regulus quickly frowns and nods in agreement getting up from the floor and getting out of the floor.
You could sense that something wasn't right with this family but you couldn't quite put your finger on it.
How you fell in love
Years passed, you and Regulus became great friends. Regulus got sorted into Slytherin and Sirius into Gryffindor, which was quite hard for both of them to get into different houses. You entered in the same year as Regulus.
You both would take various classes together and partner up on most of the classes group assignments, also shared the table at every meal when you could; studied together and everything and when in vacation letters were always exchanged between you and him. You two were like flesh and bone. He was the best friend you could ever ask for.
But as the fourth year progressed, he seemed to be more distant, more secretive like he was up to something. You looked at him attentively as he read a book about advanced potions while you two more your friend Lily Evans from the Gryffindor House and one of Sirius Friends made you company.
" So who are you going to the Yule Ball with? " Lily asked with a smile as you both sipped a cup of tea.
Regulus raises his eyes out of his book with a raise of an eyebrow, showing a sudden interest in the conversation. You noticed but continued your conversation with Lily.
" Well... Gilderoy asked me but... " You Sutter in boredom has you sip another drink of your mug.Â
" But he's a little too much, I get you. " Lily says with a nod and a small giggle. " Well, if you want my friend Remus is single, is kinda sad but..."Â
" SHUT UP! EVANS! " You both hear Remus scream from the end of the Gryffindor table and you and Lily just flat ass die laughing.Â
Your dart off to Regulus who was looking at you. Your gazes meet and you can feel your cheeks turn red. You quickly feel Lily's foot kicking your leg under the table, giving you a sharp pain.
You look at Lily and she looks at Regulus then at you and raises her brows up and down.Â
" No, I do not! Shut it! " You claim, blushing even more and Lily just laughs while Regulus looks at both of you once again and simply gets up, closes his book and gets out of the dining hall without saying a word.
" Sorry, Lily. " You say as you get up and go after Regulus.
You leave the dining hall and see Regulus going up the stairs, you start running trying to catch up, but he doesn't seem to see you and goes through a door on the second floor that you haven't ever seen before.
As you enter the room after him, you observe as the room is filled through the ceilings with various artifacts. Regulus is nowhere to be seen so you just walk around the room admiring the various artifacts.
You get hold of a tinny hand mirror and the reflection starts to get blurry to show Regulus. He was in a black cloak walking in what looked like the black forest and then he takes his wand out and lifts his sleeve to reveal the dark mark. You gasp surprised and the mirror falls from your hand breaking into tinny pieces at your feet.Â
A shard scratches your hand and blood starts to seep through your fingers as you hold the cut.
" I see that you know my secret now. " You hear Regulus affirm and you turn around to see him look at you.
His eyes widen, his face softened as he notices the cut in your hand gushing with blood down your feet. Regulus rapidly moves closer to you and holds both of your hands.
" You are hurt, let me help you. " He claims has he takes out a handkerchief of his pocket.
" NO! " You blurt out angerly as you wank your hands from him. " Why didn't you tell me, Reggie?"
Regulus eyes start to water but he quickly sighs and holds it in as he holds your hurt hand and ties his handkerchief around your cut.
" I didn't want you to think badly of me or even worse, leave me. " He claimed, holding your chin and making you look into his eyesÂ
" I would never leave you. " You claimed as you looked directly into his eyes.
" You will be in great danger. " He whispers, letting go of your chin and adverting his gaze away from your face.
" I don't care, i love you, since the day i met you. " You whisper and Regulus eyes dart to your lips but he quickly looks away and then back at your eyes.
" I should, but I can't. " He whispers has his gaze lowered to your lips and back to the wall behind you.
A soft smile forms on your lips as you get a hold of his tie and pull him closer to you and kiss him. He hesitated for a second out of surprise but softly laid his hands on your hips as he kissed you back. Â
A fire ignited inside of you two, almost like two stars colliding and becoming a Super Nova to destroy the world together. Regulus pulls the kiss a part to look at you and you observe as the pupils in his eye dilatate.
" Come to the Yule Ball with me. I will be jealous of whatever person takes you, my love. " He whispers, has he puts a strand of your messy hair behind your hair.
" You know I was waiting for you to ask me all this time, right? Of course, I will go with you. " You say with a smile and Regulus lets out a small laugh.
" I know, Lily is not that discreet if I can say so myself. " You both laugh and he leans and holds your hurt hand where he lifts to his lips and gives it a small kiss.
