#xregulus

          Narcissa was not scared exactly. She trusted Regulus enough to leave him alone with her two-and-a-half years old son ( the half was incredibly important ) while she was out doing the part of Christmas shopping which would have bored the young boy ( that is to say the shopping part ) for the afternoon. However, leaving her son with anyone was still an incredibly hard feat ( a touchy subject ) for the blonde. She knew this was healthy for them both, and Draco loved Uncle Regulus — but the farther away she was, the less she could protect him. She still struggled with that ( admitting they were at peace ). So, when she spotted her cousin seemingly well, the witch let out a breath she had not known she had been holding, discarding her bags so a house elf would take care of them. 

         « How is he ? » This perhaps shouldn’t have been her first question. Perhaps, arguably, should she have asked how Regulus was, first. But while her own worries had been mellowed, they had still not gone away ( not yet, not until she had Draco back in her arms and a detailed account of what he had done ). « I hope he didn’t give you too much trouble. He is obsessed with his toy dragon, so this must have been a good activity ? » There were a few seconds in which the blonde finally realized she was making this all about her son ( again ). So instead, she walked further in and sat down. This was fine. Everything was fine. « How are you ? »

While she is not above using faked crying and fabricated sadness if she feels this might improve her image or help with how she is relating to someone, Narcissa tends to view genuine crying as a weakness, a lapse in emotions she should not be allowing herself and so, by extension, neither should others. There is, however, an interesting disonance between the standards she holds herself and the general public to, and the standards she would apply to family members or friends ( whom she would never consider weak for crying in front of her ). 

Ouch.

To be perfectly honest I doubt it. Too much happened between them personally—Regulus’ moment of heroics be damned. I don’t think they could ever really go back to how they were at one point. Had Sirius known what his brother did would he be proud? Yes. But even if Regulus did something amazing like kill Voldemort himself Sirius would never be able to fully forgive him, so I doubt Reg would be able to drop everything easily himself.

Absolutely not.
