The first few months at Hogwarts were fun.

Most of my students loved my classes and enjoyed the dark arts. The teachers were nice and helped out with anything and Regulus and I were only getting closer and closer.

At the beginning I was going home every weekend to see Lily and Harry. I was lucky enough to witness his first time crawling.

But now, I went back every other weekend. I told Lily it was because of work but in reality it was Regulus.

We'd sometimes go see Sirius and Remus but most of the time we'd just go on walks together and talk. He was such and interesting person and I felt blessed for meeting him as he is now.

In October, he seemed off for a week and that weekend I didn't go home, even though I was supposed to.
Instead I went with Regulus to his parents grave. "We were never close, and they tortured me for years. But at the end of the day they were still my parents. They still gave me a wealthy and healthy life."

He had also come out to me as gay after a few weeks. That night it was especially hard not to go see him.

He had opened up to me about trauma and the things he used to do to his body. I understood why Sirius didn't want him to be alone. It wasn't because he didn't want him to be lonely but because he doesn't want to risk loosing his brother to suicide.

It was now December. There were only a few more days before the vacation, so I didn't push my students too much.

I was out supervising a hogsmeade trip of year 7s with Regulus. He seemed very cold so I took his hand and brought him to hogshead for a cup of warm butter beer.

"Blacks have never been good against the cold. I remember when Sirius and Remus started dating Sirius would steal 3 of his sweaters and wear them at the same time and barely be warm enough." I said after licking the froth above my lip.

"It's cause we're cold blooded snakes" He said back while still shaking.

"Come here" I said pointing to my lap.

He didn't question it to long and sat on my lap. I wrapped my arms around him and rubbed up and down his arms to warm him up.

I looked at his face to see it become bright red. It became a bit of a game for me to see how deep I can make him blush.

After a bit he was warm enough so I stopped rubbing his arms. Without thinking really I kissed his cheek from behind.

He quickly moved onto the wooden bench next to me and looked at my face.

"Did you just kiss me?" He asked quickly.

"I-I think so. S-sorry" I replied beginning to shake.

He stared at me for a moment with a puzzled look on his face. He took a deep breath before reaching his hand to my jaw.

"Can I?" He asked and without thinking I shifted forwards and caught his lips on my own.

He made a small sound of shock before melting into the kiss and wrapping his arms around my neck.

"I have a wife" I said pushing back.

"Right. You do" He said looking down sadly.

I couldn't do this to him. It's not like I loved her anymore. So, without thinking once again my lips were on his.

I closed my eyes and let him take over the situation. He licked my bottom lip before I open my mouth and our tongues intertwined.

We parted when neither of us could breath anymore and I was panting, trying to regain my breath.
