You came nearly flying across the room back to Regulus, a cup of water that chilled your hand. Your panicked look immediately made eye contact with Regulus who just stared blankly at you, he couldn’t really think the entire scene replaying in his mind.
“ What did he say to you” You said to the other male turning your head towards him quietly looking at Regulus for any signs of a physical altercation.
“ He called me a dog” He whispered out subconsciously and quite blankly with no real emotion coming from his voice.
“ What a prick,” You started scoffing slightly before you went to speak again shrugging, “ You remind me more of a cat anyway.”
“ …What?” Regulus said as he blinked a couple times in confusion as he looked back up at you.
“ You are more cat-like than dog.” You said simply, your mouth quirking up into a slight smile a little chuckle leaving your lips, Regulus matched your smile, a chuckle also escaping his lips as he practically forgot his previous thoughts.
“ Hey drink some water, I haven't seen you drink anything all night.” You encourage your hand, held out holding the glass of water to him. Regulus graciously accepted his fingers brushing softly across yours as the glass passed into his grip he carefully brought the cup to his lips the water wetting them as he sipped. When the glass was about halfway filled he handed the glass back to you.
“ Why don’t you drink some, as far as i’ve seen you haven’t drank anything.” He states back to you holding the glass out for you.
“ Oh no I'm good really.” You said shaking your head despite your tongue darting out to wet your lips ever so slightly.
“ Please, the last thing I need is you passing out on me.” Regulus lightly jokes as he raises his eyebrows ever so slightly while still holding the glass out to you.
You rolled your eyes slightly at his dramatics but you still accepted the glass raising it to your lips. You started to drink when mid-sip you remembered, Regulus had also drank from the glass now while you may usually be worried about germs you were more focused on the fact that it was kind of sort of indirect kiss, with the guy you cared for alot. Your eyes refused to look over to him as you nearly choked on the water. Regulus just watched silently perplexed at the shift in your behaviour until it hit him like bombardo. You had drank from where he did, your lips had touched where his had, you had indirectly kissed. His cheeks lit up, flushed, flushed like a drunk or a fever and he did not like that, he tried his best to cool down the flush by looking anywhere but at you. He couldn’t believe his reaction to this little thing. He was acting like a first year yet here he was failing at staying cool staring at your lips so intensely that one might think he was trying to hex them. You had quickly removed the glass from your lips as you both just stared at each other blinking and silent.
“ Well uh I think I'm going to head out for the night, honestly I was only planning on stopping by.” You shrugged, nodding your head towards the door.
“ Here, why don’t I walk you to your dorm?” Regulus suggested clearing his throat first, his eyes just ever so slightly avoiding yours as he kicked himself even more for acting like a fumbling first year.
“ What about your ‘date’?” You questioned forming quotations with your fingers when you said date.
“ Eh, I think they will be fine as long as Nott is here.” Regulus chuckled in response, looking over to still see his date flirting with the dissuaded Theodore Nott.
And so the two of you managed to slip out of the room unnoticed to both of your reliefs. The two of you just walked through the stone halls of the castle, soft clicks coming from your steps, the dark mixed with a small lumos spell from Regulus’ wand provided a quite calm environment. You had decided to go the “scenic” route despite there not being a real scenic route in Hogwarts, both of you knew it was just to continue to talk to the other. The two of you had just chatted, softly laughing in the dark hallways being careful to not let it echo, him even having to grab you from stepping off one of the moving staircases. However soon you reached your dorm hidden away in the back of the slytherin dorms. You knew your roommate was most likely at some party as they were quite popular amongst the houses so you didn’t have to worry about waking them up.
“ Thank you for, well everything tonight. I had a lot of fun.” You said grinning at him as you stood in front of your door.
“ Even with all the dramatics?” He questioned perplexity tainted his face.
“ Well yeah because I gotta spend time with you.” You half joked cocking your head to the side, the grin on your face growing. Now Regulus swore he was a first year as he thanked the shadows of the hall for concealing his flush; he was unsure how to respond except for nodding.
“ Uh yeah I better be getting to sleep, you should too ya know,” You stated before continuing “ Well Nighty night Regulus”
That when Regulus swore he nearly burst, You had inched towards him at the last second rising to your tippy toes and giving him a light kiss on the hollow cheek just slightly closer to the corner of his mouth than you meant to. It wouldn’t have been the worst if you did, you just wouldn’t want to have kissed him here in the dark of the hallway without him knowing it was coming. Especially with the high chance he did not reciprocate the feelings, you knew how averse he was to romantic affections. You turned on your heel, opening the door and swiftly walking inside before Regulus could respond. And yet he couldn’t respond despite wanting to, he couldn’t process what had occurred. So he had just shock ridden walked to room, and for someone so flirtatious one would believe he could take it yet from you it made his knees weak.

The next major event of the holiday was the Slug Club Christmas party. You had received your invitation a week and a half before the event. While you had found it somewhat short notice in your opinion you had almost immediately found some used dress robes that were a dark green with black accents which you had found very appropriate for your house and had a flattering Victorian gothic style to them. Regulus on the other hand was in a state of confliction, he had known the unspoken rule of you were supposed to take a date he only had learned that from one of his mothers letters but he could not imagine taking anyone on a date except you he however convinced himself that he only meant it in a platonic way. There were some complications with that, it would expose your friendship. You would most likely take the brunt of it being you were muggle-born which is an outcome he could not afford. Instead he found a person in slytherin while not pure-blooded like his mother would have liked; they came from a family of status which at least would have spared him some from his mother. The best part about the person he was taking was that they held no interest in Regulus, in fact they had been absolutely enamoured by Theodore Nott. You on the other hand hadn’t even the faintest idea on the notion and decided to go alone. You and Regulus had only briefly discussed the party in that time in which you were displeased to hear about his date prompting you to make some excuse that resulted in you fleeing. You were not sure why you had so strongly disliked the idea of Regulus taking a date but you summarised it up to simply being worried for your friend.
The night of the party came when Regulus showed up in black dress robes with deep green accents. His date on the other hand wore a light honey coloured outfit that in no way matched his own which was preferable in his eyes. You however had been running a few minutes late, Regulus had not seen you but his eyes continued to search the room for you. Regulus instead spotted Lucius Malfory with Narcissa Black his cousin, to which he rolled his eyes upon seeing. He also spotted Lily Evans with his brother's best friend James Potter to which he scoffed but tried to remain out of the way so as to not get harassed by his brother's friend and most likely later his brother. But amidst his thoughts he spotted you walking in, in your deep green attire with black accents the exact reverse of his he swore his heart palpated in response. And for the split second you had made eye contact his world stopped in ways he could only describe as euphoric. But then his date was grabbing him by the shoulder pulling him over to Theodore Notts group causing him to get further away from you.
To Regulus it felt like hours passed as he had to listen to what he deemed an abominable conversation but every once and a while he saw you mingling with others having your photo taken and other various activities. Eventually he saw you duck into the curtains that surrounded the room effectively hiding yourself from the party and at that moment he decided to slip away(not like anyone there had noticed or would notice). He carefully crossed the room to avoid suspicion as he ducked into the curtains. You had been faced away from him. He took a step closer to you softly calling out your name.
“ Fu- Regulus what are you doing?” You started cursing but caught yourself staring at him in defensive confusion.
“ I came to find you.” He stated like it had been obvious as he took a couple of steps towards you making you only within a few inches of one another. In that moment he had known deep down in the depths of his soul how he felt about you but he had ignored it for whoever knows how long and in that moment he decided he would be ignorant to it. He gently grabbed your hand like he did on the quidditch pitch only this time he brought it up to his mouth pressing his lips against your hand in a gentle kiss all while remaining eye contact with you letting it be so you could pull away any minute. But to his surprise you didn’t. And he let out a whisper.
“ You look…stunning.”
“ And you look beautiful.” You breathed back smiling softly at him. Before you remembered who he had come with to the event.
“ Regulus, where is your date?” You questioned taking a step back, your hand still in his but your arm being straightened.
“ They are off trying to snog Nott,” He says smiling a little as he steps closer “ Which is why I choose them anyway.”
You responded laughing and shaking your head. You should’ve known Regulus would never ask someone out romantically. Both of you slowly inched together, him not letting go of your hand the entire time, you got so close your faces were only inches apart when two figures ducked underneath the curtain joining you in the small space.
This prompted you and Regulus to quickly pull back from the other with him situating himself slightly in front of you. The figures stood parallel to the two of you. You quickly recognized them, the one’s long tangerine coloured hair that framed her pale freckled complexion while the others dark curls, deep tan skin, and golden circular glasses were recognizable anywhere as Lily Evans and James Potter. Unfortunately for the both of you they had seemed to also recognize you too. James seemed more focused on Regulus’ presence to actually seem to notice yours.
“ Regulus” James Potter spoke out curtly.
“ James” Regulus responded in like. His hand gripped tightly around yours which you had just realised he was in fact still holding but he gripped it not tight enough to be painful. James' attention seemingly flicked over to you, upon noticing this Regulus stepped in front of you even more.
“ (Y/n),” Regulus started turning his head towards you “ Why don’t you go get something to drink? I'll join you in a minute.”
You just nodded slowly backing out of the curtains escaping the tension that was so thick that you felt like you couldn’t even have breathed. You were quite pleased to be out but you still worried about Regulus, James Potter was notoriously antagonistic of people he didn’t quite get along with. He had the pleasure of still being treated as a pureblood while not following the strict traditions unlike the Weasley family who was all but respected amongst the pureblooded society. This kind of treatment seemed to nurture his ego a tad too much for your taste, Especially with his treatment of Severus who he bullied and antagonised on a cruel level as well as his treatment of Regulus which was largely mild compared to Severus made you very weary of the other male. The ginger haired girl followed you out as she wandered around playing plausible deniability to her boyfriend's behaviour.
“ Why were you with him and not your little pureblood group?” James mocks while puffing out his shoulders.
“ It shouldn’t matter to you potter.” Regulus spat annoyed at the others' interruption and quite frankly his entire presence there.
“ Ah I see, so what are you using the muggle born for,” James started biting out his words in a amused venom “ your punching bag, homework actually no you have far too much of a stick up your ass for that, how about a quick fuck-”
“ Don’t assume what your bloody little moronic mind has no semblance of an idea about.” Regulus bit out furious at the suggestion of your being so expendable especially to a fool such as James Potter.
“ So he is just your fuck mate,” James said knowing he struck a chord Regulus’ jaw clamped down sharply highlighting the indents of his cheeks “ What you couldn’t be seen with him, your too good for him?”
Regulus felt his entire being shake in anger, his jaw tensing and untensing, and this egotistical imbecile in front of him ridiculed you all because he was his brother's best friend and Regulus’ brother hated him. Regulus didn’t hate his brother but after this he may, you meant more to him than anything else and with how small his world was he treasured you at every waking second actually scratched that, every second he thought of you even if you weren't his primary thought you still lingered. Yet Regulus never feared being around you due to his reputation, no he was terrified for what they would do to you if you were around him, if his parents found out it would your head quite literally, he couldn’t afford for your safety to ever be at risk due to him, still James Potter seemed to threaten that and that was enough for Regulus to sink into the darkness that always pooled underneath him. With that Regulus shoved the male against the wall pointing his wand directly under James Potter's chin.
“ You do not have an utter clue of anything as to be seen by the conclusion you've come to, but if you so much as mention their presence in front of me or not I will cruciatus curse your arse till you wouldn’t even be able to say his name. I don’t care what you are to my brother, he is far more relevant to me than that coward ever was.” Regulus seethed with the levels of venom only his parents carried for his brother and other “blood traitors”.
“ Whatever you're still some death eaters dog, so why don’t you go play fetch with…” James Potter's voice trailed off referencing over towards you as he himself nodded his way out of the space leaving Regulus alone.

The weather started to become frigid and the first snowfall of the season appeared in Hogwarts prompting everyone to bundle up and the Holiday season to begin. That marked some crucial events at Hogwarts, one being the second quidditch game of the season. Regulus was itching to get out on the pitch he had gone to every practice and put in his entire being into the sport today was the match. Regulus was sitting at your usual table in the back of the library where you also sat sitting across from him glancing up from your book to stare at him, his knee bouncing causing the table to tremble and his face had a nagging impatience.
“ Regulus, what in Merlin's name is wrong with you?” You asked, raising your eyebrows as you set your book down crossing your arms and legs.
“ Today is Slytherins first match of the season.” He stated like it was an obvious fact and surprised you didn’t seem to be aware.
“ And that has to do with you how…?” You asked further, your voice trailing off, looking further perplexed.
“ You seriously do not know?” Regulus scoffed in disbelief at your lack of knowledge which he immediately knew had come off as snarky and you did not look pleased.
“ No I do not know so would you just bloody get on with it.” You responded impatiently, tilting your head to the side. This made Regulus feel a little bad with what he had done but he knew you wouldn’t hold it against him or anything.
“ I'm the seeker for the Slytherins Quidditch Team.” The male across from you started with an air of pride as he sat back in his chair with a small grin. Your eyebrows just raised even further, your face returning to one of perplexity. And in that moment Regulus realised that you knew nothing about quidditch.
“ Come to the match later and you’ll see what I mean.” He continued his grin turning more into a sly smirk. One thing Regulus always liked was to show off even if it was subtle and the chance to show off for you wasn’t an opportunity he planned on passing up.
“ Fine” You said, giving a slight smile back when you pulled out your book and went back to reading.
You stood in front of the masses climbing up to the quidditch pitch and several flights of stairs you found yourself in the front row of the Slytherin section. The wind whipped around your ears and nose and you further buried your face into your scarf which was decorated with the Slytherin house colours. Each section was filled to the brim with people and while other houses who were not playing were adorning their own gear but also the other houses. With Slytherin and Hufflepuff being the houses the other houses primarily chose to side with Hufflepuff however Ravenclaws were pretty split between the support for the two houses. Soon the flying coach came out to the centre of the pitch and started to announce the beginning. You had not really paid attention to them so much as to try and spot Regulus. And shortly you saw him. His black curls being slightly brushed by the wind, his green jersey reading the number 10 on the back and the large blocky lettering of the name “Black”. You let out a small cheer of which you had thought got lost in the flood of applauses, cheers, and boo’s but Regulus’ gaze wandered up to you a small sly smirk making its way upon his face as he gave a slight nod towards you his hand gesturing as well with that people in your section swooned, squeals increased, but you just replied back with a decently sized smile that had pierced through Regulus’ heart. And so the game commenced, Regulus whirled past the stands at great speeds diving low to the ground and soaring up into the clouds, his arm perpetually outreached following a tiny golden object that buzzed around at an unthinkable pace. A heavy object seemingly almost hit him several times in which you gasped screaming for him to look out only for another player with bats to hit it away from him or for him to narrowly dodge it with it brushing upon his curls giving you a heart attack luckily this only happened once. Then when you had felt your heart pounding through your ears in anticipation Regulus flew by with the Hufflepuff seeker right next to him both elbowing and shoving each other as they both tried to reach their arms further than they could go. But just at the last second Regulus dived only slightly but enough for the Hufflepuff seeker who had hoped to shove him go barreling away. Regulus’ arm reached out once more and this time his fingertips were able to wrap around the little golden sphere. The crowds erupted into roars as the announcer screamed of Slytherins success guaranteeing them a place in the semi-finals for the quidditch cup and the start to a very good season.
Regulus slowed making a loop around as he tossed the snitch up and down but as he passed each section suddenly adorned the green and silvers of Slytherin turning the stands into a sea of Slytherin pride. However as he passed the Slytherin stand he let out a smirk raising his eyebrows towards you nodding his head downward. Your eyes followed in confusion as to what he was referring to and then you saw it at the end of your scarf magically stitched in were the initials “R.A.B.” Regulus Arcturus Black. You smiled at him with him giving a slightly cheeky smile before retreating back to the ground of the quidditch pitch.
While you had exited the stands you lingered outside of the quidditch pitch till you were sure everyone was gone and inside you saw the boy you were looking for. Regulus’ black curls remained glued to his forehead by sweat; his face and hands had a thin layer of shininess due to the sweat despite the nippy air. He held his broomstick in his left hand as he tilted his head.
“ Well how did you enjoy it?” He asks you, curious at your response, taking a step closer towards you.
“ I enjoyed seeing you in your element.” You responded back carefully as the game itself wasn’t that interesting to you but watching Regulus seem so happy, so focused, and not his usual uptight self made you happy in turn.
“ I was wondering how do you fly like that, let alone keep you balanced?” You continued awe seeping through your tone as you observed his broomstick that had several small dents, minor cracks, and chips. Looking back you see Regulus’ face in minor bewilderment as he stares at you once again with disbelief.
“ You don’t know how to ride a broom? Isn’t it a requirement to take flying 101?” The boy in front of you asks, still a little shocked at the revelation.
“ No I do not, it wasn't ever in my skill set, so much so that I couldn’t even get the broom in my hand, I had to switch classes.” You say slightly embarrassed at the fact. Regulus let out a small huff of laughter as he put the broom so it was floating slightly below his waist.
“ Come over here,” Regulus stated, gesturing with his head. You took a couple steps forward towards the broom, your eyebrows raised in a look of knowing.
“ Regulus no I am not getting on that death trap.” You replied back shaking your head slightly.
“ It is not a death trap, just try it.” Regulus stated plainly as he took a further step towards you reaching out carefully grabbing your hand but only the fingertips as he gave a gentle tug towards himself.
“ Fine but if I die you bet your arse I will haunt you.” You lightly threatened as you let him tug you right in front of him. Regulus didn’t really let go of your hand, his fingers still lingered over your hand, neither of you acknowledged it like most things in your complex relationship. He however slowly let go as he climbed onto the back of the broom his hand waved slightly referencing for you to get on.
“ Get on the same way you’d a horse only closer to the ground.” He started nodding towards the broom. Your arms crossed as you looked at him with your “really?” face.
“ And what makes you think I’ve ridden a horse before?” You questioned watching his face morph into one of mild surprise.
“ Just swing one leg over.” He responded, shaking his head as you swung your leg over the broom, careful not to kick him as you sat quite uncomfortably in front of him. Not due to him but more of the design of the broom itself, it really was a wonder how one could sit on it for long periods of time. You grabbed onto the part right in front of you.
“ Now just push off.” Regulus stated as he weaved his arms around you grabbing on to the part right below your hands so he was caging you into the broom. You pushed your feet off the ground slightly causing the broom to slowly hover upward until you were a good roughly three metres off of the ground. Regulus quickly explained how to control the broom and soon you were flying over the black lake. A huge smile crossed your face as you let go with one hand to skim the surface, the water was ice cold but still felt amazing even with the winter fronts breeze whipping at your face. Regulus drank up every moment, he loved watching your eyes fill with fascination and your laugh of delight slip from you. Soon enough the day started to turn darker and the both of you had agreed to land.
“ Thank you Regulus,” You started staring at him softly. “ That was the best thing I’ve ever done.”
“ You're welcome.” He smiled back in the dark of the quidditch pitch. That while the first of that type of outing didn’t prove to be the last.

Regulus Black had sworn to never love, not after he so desperately watched his parents hate each other to the point where their hate spread to him and his brother. And it didn’t help Regulus’ mind that his brother had abandoned him for some boy who didn’t even reciprocate his affections. With that Regulus had despised the shows of affection he received, being in his 4th year of Hogwarts he had received countless love letters, confessions, and the endless abundance of stares with giggles. To say he hated it was an understatement, each letter he burned with “Confringo” and each confession he scoffed and mocked the speaker till they in most cases ran away crying or furiously stomped away. As for the stares he couldn’t do much about it but it helped to be friends with fellow slytherins and those of pure-blood supremacy which he did not stand for but at least spared him from his parents disappointment. He had even made it to advanced potions and professor slughorn's infamous slug club. While none of his friends, which had been a small number, had made it into the slug club with him, he had at least two acquaintances of which there was Severus Snape who was a year above him and Theodore Nott who was in his year. As well as the unfortunate presence of Lucius Malfoy who he had a strong intolerance for but kept it to himself out of fear for the male. Then there was you, he had hardly noticed you at first not until there had been a debate on Gamp’s Laws of Elemental Transfiguration and the argument that was being presented and debated forgot a crucial piece of information in which it was so niche that none of them had noticed until you had spoken up. You neutrally yet somehow confidently pointed out the crucial fact causing Malfoy to scoff and further deliberation take place. That is the first time Regulus had noticed you. From there you seemed to pop up everywhere from in the Slytherin common room to his charms class, to Defence against the Dark Arts, to potions. Regulus didn’t mind your presence but just felt it was odd and so he started to observe you. He noticed how you rarely talked to anyone, only a couple words with Severus Snape who seemed at least like a friend to you but on a very low level. Furthermore he had noticed your lack of magical ability, your tremendous lack of magical ability to his surprise, you could barely cast a spell, yet you were a genius in magical theory and excelled in magical creatures and potions. You were an enigma to Regulus Black. So much to a point that he slowly decided to move closer to you. It first started by him moving across from you in potions, scaring away some Gryfindor who had been flirting with you, it then led to him making brief small strictly occasional conversation at the slug club meetings. Months had passed and he slowly crept closer to you. He had found out a couple things, one you were born to muggles and were from a strictly muggle line the first wizard in your family, two you had wanted to work at the ministry of magic and revolutionise their way of interacting with muggles and work to undermine pure-blood supremacy and then retire to be a professor he then saw what made you a slytherin, three you had a pet kneezale that you had disguised as a cat and affectionately called Link who was very protective over you and seemed to be in love with Regulus, and four you had loved to read into the depths of the night below the glowing windows of the slytherin common room. And Regulus had learned one thing about himself and that was that he loved to be in your presence.
You and Regulus had formed a habit of sorts every sunday night at midnight when most of the Slytherin house was sleeping off their drunkenness from their weekend partying, you and Regulus would meet up in the common room and sit in the pair of chairs in the farthest corner that's only light came from the large church light windows that glowed. Then you would read you each had your respective book and you would sit in silence enjoying the others company and your novels. What either of you failed to realise is that sometimes one of you would stop reading, your eyes wandering to the other and a stare that could only be described as one filled with fondness watching the others slight reactions but moreover you would snap back to your own book. What neither of you would acknowledge is the fact that either of you only got through a couple of chapters when both of you knew you could easily get through full novels during that time.
From there you slowly talked more, of course only in places in which you both would go unnoticed so as to not ruin his reputation(your words not his). Places such as the furthest corner of the library, and small notes during classes became your sanctuary. Soon enough you considered him a friend and a close one at that. Many times while his friends would choose to go to Hogsmeade he would lie claiming he had unfinished homework or other various tasks of course his friends were unconvinced that the Regulus Black was behind but they let it slide anyway. Those times you could freely walk around Hogwarts as it was a ghost town that's when the two of you got to rejoice. You got to spend the majority of the day together and neither of you had any objection to it.
Regulus was always astounded by you, you who were so mortal that he feared everyday you would shatter and you would be snuffed out. He was raised in the noble house of Black, he lived in the Noble house of Black, and there they believed in immortality, that they were better than mortals, by the will of their pure blood and being a wizard they were not bound to the same laws of time and death which was true in many many ways. Afterall many great wizards lived past the average muggle lifespan but you, you who were from muggle parents, were terrible with magic, and had no interest in living longer than nature intended you to( a conversation that made Regulus infuriated). For those reasons you seemed to Regulus the definition of mortal and for that he feared for you as what he deemed from a friends perspective. You however were astounded by Regulus, the boy who had such warmth and love but who acted quite frankly like a cold hearted prick who couldn’t give a damn about anyone. You feared that the light that shone from him may be snuffed out at the hands of the society he was a part of. Of course this is what you believed from a friend's perspective.
