• Rex was never any good at potions and after a mishap during class, Evelyn offered to tutor him. Not only did he find himself becoming better at the subject with her help, but he found himself falling in love. Occasionally he was distracted by her wit, charm, and beauty, but with Evelyn’s support and patience Rex was able to excel in potions.

• They had their first kiss under an oak tree by the Great Lake during the spring of sixth year. Rex was baffled as to why he’d so spontaneously kissed her, but after Evelyn laughed her sides sore at his horrified reaction she returned the kiss and his feelings.

• Rex and Evelyn moved into their London home- the one that would become a family heirloom- a few weeks after they found out they were expecting their first baby.

• Rex had no doubts that Evelyn would get along with his sister Lucretia. The two of them quickly became sisters themselves and Evelyn was overjoyed to have Lucretia as the maid of honour at her wedding to Rex.

• Evelyn found a potential suitor during her time as a trainee legislator and almost agreed to courtship with him, but something in her heart told her not to because she was still in love with Rex and part of her soul knew they’d meet again in the near future.

• Evelyn is the only person allowed to call Rex by the nickname Reggie. It’s something that started out in their Hogwarts days but when Rex realised he was never annoyed by the fact she called him Reggie he realised he might have some kind of favouritism or feelings towards her.

• When Rex and Evelyn became Lord and Lady, they held a extravagant outdoor party at their new stately home Oakley Hall, inviting people who both professionally and personally knew Rex’s Uncle Walter as well as the whole of the nearby village. It was their way of making new acquaintances and to make themselves known as kind, respectable people.

• On their first official date, Rex bought Evelyn a bouquet of sunflowers (her favourites) and afterwards she kept one of them, using magic to shrink it and turn it into a brooch so she could wear it whenever she wanted. She never took it off on their honeymoon to Lisbon and always wore it to summer gatherings.

• Naturally, Rex dedicated his first book to Evelyn and what he had printed was: To my dearest Evie- Without who I would have lost my way. Thank you for being my constant source of light and love.

I just have massive brain rot for Revelyn right now and I found the prompt ‘acceptance’ from @lifeofkaze’s Valentine’s Challenge most inspiring. Beware: angst ahead!

Dear Evelyn,

I think it’s come to a point where I need to stop hanging on to the past. It’s no good for my mind, heart, and soul. It’s changing me in ways I can’t describe and in ways that make me feel I’m living in a nightmare. I don’t want to change this way as I fear I’ll end up like my father. Or worse.

I’ve finally managed to severe ties with him, though, which is both a relief and a cause of heartbreak. My sister is very upset about it, but I promised things would be fine. And they will be. But I had to leave Lucretia in such a state to go back to Bucharest where I am now and somehow the world feels wrong. Despite Bucharest being home from home, I feel as though everything it empty, backwards, clouded in such dark light that I’m afraid of never seeing the light again. I thought that I’d feel a weight lifted with having distanced myself from my father, but I actually feel quite the opposite. I think that maybe the pain will last for some time before the wounds heal. Everything is still very raw at the moment.

And that’s when I come to you. I’ve been hanging on to this hope that the stars and planets would align for us. Then again, I was never very good at astronomy and divination, was I? I couldn’t predict how my feelings for you would escalate and it seemed that the universe had other plans for us. I imagine you’re married by now, with (I hope) a loving husband and children as beautiful as you. If not, then I wish that for you because if anyone deserves true love that lasts a lifetime, it’s you.

I accept the state of my world now even if you’re not in it. I accept, albeit with a very heavy heart, that we were never meant to be.

But I will be yours, forever and always, in this life or the next.
