Apocalypse | Regulus Black

T H R E E

I remember so clearly seeing Hestias parents drop her off, her father was a tall man who used glasses and was very clean cut, her mother was a rounder women that had short hair and had her same kind eyes

"I'll miss you Hestia" her mother clung onto her

"I'll send you a owl every week mum" she gave both of them one last hug

She walked into the train and walked past me. He didn't say hi instead she gave a large smile and continued walking

The entire ride all I could think about was her smile and that ridiculous floral dress she was wearing

She excelled in care of magical, I knew it's because they sensed her pure intentions

I quickly caught on that Barty was mean to her because he had a crush on her. That year he spoke hours on end about her

I remember perfectly the cake she made Sirius. She hand baked it. No help from the elf's. It was baby blue with small colorful fireworks she enchanted to explode along the sides

"Happy birthday Padfoot" she hugged him tightly he had such a big smile on his face as he ate his cake

That mudblood could be enough for him but not me?

I had potions with her that year, she sat in front of me and her partner was Barty

"I can't stand the smell it smells like mudbloods" He would pretend to gag

"Heres a lavender scented oil, you put it under your nose so my mudblood scent won't effect you" She handed him a vial

Merlin she was such a bad arse

That year she even became chaser for gryffindor team.

She shined so brightly that year, it took my eyes awhile to adjust. But once they did I could not stop watching her

Still she smiled at me whenever she walked by.

It was like her smile was crafted from the gods themselves. They spent extra careful time creating those two dimples

Christmas break I watched her little muggle brother run into her arms. She carried him on her arm and walk along side her father

She turned back and waved at Sirius and I

Sirius waved back. I didn't.

Mother asked him who that was and he told her the truth

"Befriending mudbloods" she slapped him across the face

"Shes my FRIEND"

I looked away once she pulled out her wand

Hestia ruined everything once more.

I hated how she was younger but acted as an older sister to Sirius always comforting him and making him laugh

She scorched the ground she walked on. And I kissed those burning hot steps behind her.

"Happy birthday Regulus, I hope you have an enjoyable birthday couldn't send the whole cake" She sent me a letter on my birthday and a box with a piece of cake. It was carrot cake.

And I never tasted anything better.

Just thinking she made something for me to have. Only me.

After one bite I threw the cake away. Along with the letter.

I knew better than to befriend mudbloods. Even if they smelled like vanilla and had eyes of honey.
