" Things would be so much easier if we were honest with each other. "

She struggled not to look at him, instead focusing on a rather interesting tree she had caught sight of outside the window. "I have been honest," it wasn't an entire lie. Elowyn rarely lied to Regulus. At least she had until the realization that her small, silly attraction to him was more than that.

“Exactly what I’ve been saying for years!”

A flourish of her hand followed her assent, dark grey eyes rolling in exasperation at their prior conversation.

“I mean really, who does he think we are anyway? Doesn’t he know the Blacks hold power unlike any others?”

Bellatrix halted pacing, hands coming to her slender waist and turning her attention back to her cousin, “so anyway, as I was saying. I put the stupid little child in his place and Dumbledore thought it appropriate to serve me a week’s detention in the mean time! Utterly disgraceful.”

She deserved at least a month’s after all. She dropped back onto the armchair usually occupied by Orion but now swathed in her elegant cloaks atop fitted attire.

Elowyn adored winter, especially the snow, for as long as she could remember. It had always been a sign that not only was her favorite holiday around the corner, but that a new year was starting as well- a fresh start, and hopefully a better year than the last. Hopefully.

           ❝      no,  not anymore.    ❞  he tells her , though they both know it is a lie.  he has thought of her,  many times,  since the last time they spoke.  she was not someone he could ever love , and yet here he was, still attached in some form.   and yet here she was, still asking.   if she never truly cared about him, why was she here? and why did he care?    regulus lets out a sigh.    ❝   you need to just .. go.  ❞

Outwardly, Pansy was never the type to fall for anyone. She was too busy with her studies and she was just never the one to be tied down, at least not for long. However, she and Regulus had managed to maintain their... relationship for a couple of years until they finally broke it off. The truth was never stated as to why, but it never exactly sat right with Pansy. That is, at least outwardly. She played it off like it was no big deal to anyone who asked about her and the rebellious Black.

But, it was a big deal.

She had actually begun to care about him, and deeper still she formed an attachment to him like she had none other. So when she had approached him at dinner before they were to go home for the summer she decided to lay everything on the line. Her pride, her reputation -- her HEART. And his words stung more than she would ever let him know they did.

While she couldn't form the words to respond to him, there was pain in her emerald eyes that she had never felt before. "You're a liar." She finally managed to spit out, though the words were as weak as her voice. Head shook and she reached out and grasped his arm, but gently.

"No. Not until you tell me the truth, Regulus Black."

 gaze    remains    fixed    upon    nails,   inspecting    them    for    dirt    or    grime    (    as    she    always    does    when    her    paths    cross    with    anyone    ).     never    once    does    she    look    at    him,    nor    does    amusement    touch    her    tone    or    twist    her    face.    words    spill    out    from    her    impossibly    dark    mouth    like    a    condemned    man    as    noose    slips    over    his    head    &    around    his    THROAT.
