#regulus death

I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match you will be mortal once more.

— R.A.B

He grew up in a cold house only to move into a cold and damp dorm when he got to Hogwarts. And when he was cold it was that chilling bone deep cold that felt like it would never really leave.

He would have LOVED a hot bath or shower, the ones that are so hot they make you feel alive, like the heat is seeping back into your bones. The ones that make your skin all red, and you have to lie down after to avoid passing out.

He was also always dressed impeccably, full suit or uniform, not a thing out of place. I imagine that would get quite hot in the warmer months, the heat would probably make him sluggish and force his guard down.

I imagine he would of quite enjoyed a cold shower or even a dip in the lake. Anything to make him feel like he could think again. Also the cold would numb pain, and oh how I think he would relish in even a moment of respite.

The inferi, the water, the literal universe: NO BACKSIES BITCH

His curled hair swinging around with the wind, him sitting down on the sand, his eyes closed.

It was his way of escaping his family problems.
