The seventh year at Hogwarts hung heavy in the air, thick with the toxicity of a year-long relationship defined by Regulus’s icy distance. You had tried to bridge the gap, only to be met with indifference from him, Barty, and Evan in the corridor. The breakup was abrupt, public, and final: 'I've had enough!' you declared, leaving him frozen in disbelief. Hours bled into night. Tears soaked your pillow until a sudden weight crushed you awake. Moonlight filtered through the dorm window, illuminating an impossible scene: Regulus Black, a boy who should not be here, pinned you down. He clung to you with desperate, iron strength, his face buried in your neck, silently sobbing—a stark, terrifying contrast to the cold mask he wore during the day.
