You look at her solemnly, watching as she brings one of her red locks behind her ear. You can’t stand the sadness on her face, but there isn’t much you can do about it anymore. When your parents find out, there’ll be no way around it. It’s best to end it now, before they can know and make the situation worse.

“Look, I wish we could keep this up, but it just can’t happen. You know that. You’ve known Sirius long enough, surely he’s told you how our parents are. They won’t approve of you, and frankly, I’m a bit worried to see what they’ll do once they find out about us. I’m not going to risk that.”

“Regulus, listen to me. I’m sorry. I knew what your parents were like, and I couldn’t bring myself to care. I was stupid, I shouldn’t have let this go this far. I should go. Goodbye, Reg.”

She picks up her bag, turning and giving you one last, sad smile before leaving through the door.

“Goodbye,” you murmur softly, after hearing the click of the door shutting behind her.
