she looked painfully into his eyes, which mirrored the same emotions as hers. love, contentment and sadness.
her eyes glanced over him, as she saw how drastically the two of them had changed since they first met. they both had been through thick and thin, never leaving each others side.
she fluttered her eyes shut, as all her memories of him played through her mind
she looked around in disinterest, her eyelids drooping. yet, she looked magnificent as ever. her shimmering blue dress accented with golden and silver embroidery made her blue green eyes pop more than usual.
Her lips curved into a polite smile as she nodded curtly to the purebloods she came across as she made her way towards the malfoy gardens, desperate for fresh air.
as she approached the bench, she noticed that someone was already on it, staring at the periwinkle hedge as if he were trying to set it ablaze.
she had recognized him. regulus black, the younger black heir, the same age as her. she cleared her throat softly and he turned towards her, an eyebrow raised.
as she pointed at the bench, he nodded understandingly and shifted to the side in what walburga black would have known as true pureblood manner.
they didn't try to make small talk, because their silent company somehow made them feel better. sitting side by side, they watched as the sky turned orange and the moon rose in glory, illuminating the darkness.
as the clock struck midnight, he got on his feet, offering her a hand.
'regulus' he said with a twinkle in his eye. 'regulus black'. she smiled, grasping onto his entended arm. 'ellora', she smiled. 'ellora macmillan'
he nodded with a soft smile, kissed the back her hand while bowing slightly and vanished into the hall after bidding goodbye.
after a moment spent standing there having an incomprehensible experience, she walked away in search of her parents. as her heels clicked softly against the ground, she smiled softly.

see the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
see you make your way through the crowd
and say, "hello"
little did I know"
