No time to die | Harry James Potter ¹

XXII

the noble house of black's name shouldn't be disgraced in any way.

This sentence would never leave Y/n's mind. She stared up into Walburgas eyes who cleaned up her wounds.

She didn't know why she out of all people would do that. As Walburga gripped her chin she thought about who she missed. Ron, Hermione, Cho, Ginny, Sirius, Remus, Lily and James were people she missed dearly. Then her mind drifted to Harry. Oh how she missed harry.

The rough rag on her cheek made her wince and furrow her eyebrows.

"I know you're mad at me, but all I did was for the house of black my dear. It came from my heart." Walburga said, her voice soft and Y/n's eyes trailed down to her wrist. You should've seen her eyebrows furrow as she saw scars lining them, her hands pulled down the sweater a bit more to cover them and then she kept her head straight.

"You see honey, you're the only female heir. And even though I am disappointed you're not a follower of the dark lord you have to do a thing for me" Walburga voice softened and Y/n looked at her expectedly.

"You have to marry a pureblood. Preferably not a blood traitor of course, but I wouldn't say anything if it were one. A pureblood is a pureblood after all. And then you have to make sure to continue this bloodline" Her voice was strong as Y/n's shaky voice spoke.

"And, what about Regulus and Sirius? Why can't they?" "Sirius is a traitor, he would have to marry Bellatrix. Which I would not be fond of, little evil witch that brought this pain onto you. And Regulus- he has a greater plan for the dark lord" and this was the moment Y/n remembered that no matter if in this timeline or any other. regulus would always be forced to be a death eater.

Y/n's eyes closed tightly as she sat on her bed. her head in her hands. she had to choose if she wanted to save regulus. And her mind was set on her plan.

Y/n's head looked up, her eyes trailing to the window, she looked outside, across the forest, many trees, perfect.

Y/n's mind was racing with thoughts as she stood up, her hands gripping the jumping rope she and regulus used to play with.

She shut the door lightly, her steps quiet as she went through the forest.

Walburga looked out of the window, her steps were fast and quiet as she followed her youngest child. She felt as if she couldn't move as she saw 'Sarina' stop.

Y/n's hands were trembling as she wasn't sure if this was right, I mean, everything for the people she loves.

If she does this, then maybe Regulus could run away. Maybe, just maybe.

Y/n climbed on a rather large arm of the tree, the rope had a knot on the back of her throat, she took a shaky breath,

And as she was about to jump, her eyes caught Walburga's, making her slip and Walburga watching her daughter hang there, hands around her throat as she slowly went blue.

Walburga's steps quickened, as she reached her daughter desperately trying to get the rope off her neck, Y/n's fingernails tried to get the rope off her neck.

Walburga's eyes looked on the ground, her eyes catching a sharp stone which she rushed to pick up, with that she cut through the rope. Her hands tightly catching her daughter which was coughing as if there was no tomorrow.

Walburga didn't know what she should feel, she didn't hold her or anything, she let her fall out of her arms as she rushed back to the house, angry.
