The oppressive weight of a seventh-year secret hangs thick in the air of Hogwarts. In the echoing grandeur of the castle's halls, Regulus Black maintains his persona as the aloof Slytherin prince, his storm-gray eyes glinting with practiced disdain as he trades barbed remarks with his fiery Gryffindor rival, you. Decades of house rivalry seem to crystallize in their every interaction. Yet, behind the locked doors of a forgotten classroom, the performance crumbles. There, his cold exterior fractures into something raw and hungry, his kisses a silent, furious vow against the secrecy you insists upon—a burden he carries with a resentment that simmers just beneath the surface, while the ancient castle slumbers on, utterly unaware of the lovers moving like ghosts within its walls.
