"Why would you do this? How could you do this?" Y/n screeched at the black haired boy, who was sitting on the bed painfully holding back all the tides of emotions he felt at that moment.

"I have to. This is what I have to do" he said.

"No! You don't HAVE to do anything. We will go to Dumbledore. He will help you out of this." Y/n suggested.

Regulus was surprised to see that there is still hope in her eyes. Even after seeing the skull mark on his left wrist.

"No. I can't. Mum and Dad are finally happy. They have never been happy since Sirius left. They are finally getting out of the shame of their son running away, betraying the entire bloodline." Regulus yelled. " This is the only way to make them proud "

" Your parents are fucking insane. They are nothing but a blood-purity maniacs! So, are mine! Fuck THEM! Fuck them all! We don't need them. We don't need their bloodline. We don't need their Pureblood status. I don't care, Regulus. I really don't! " She yelled at him, the frustration and fear settling down on each and every one of her nerves.

" I can't just walk out of it, y/n. I am marked by the destruction. The path of my peril had already been set and I am almost halfway through there. There is no turning back. Bella will kill Mum and Dad if I did. " Tears threatened to fall from his eyes. " I don't have anyone except them"

" I don't have anyone except you, Reggie." She broke down. Completely loosing her mind. The fear of loosing him was drowning her.

Regulus sprung up from the bed and kneeled next to the girl, he had known since he was a child. Y/n is only daughter of one of the sacred twenty eight. Regulus and y/n would meet very often since their childhood. And both of them being Slytherin held them much closer.

Y/n had been with him forever. From putting on the sorting hat to his mental breakdown after his brother abandoned him. Y/n was there. She is very strong, after knowing her for almost sixteen years, all of their lives, he had only seen her cry twice. First was when she broke her leg during Quidditch, second was now, seeing Regulus' dark mark. He had seen her father put Cruciatus Curse on her a few time. Not a single tear had fell down her face. She was so, so strong physically and mentally. But now she was weeping, crying, sobbing on the floor. It pained him so much to see her like this.

He pulled her into a hug, holding her as close as he could. He was practically crushing her bones, as he held her weeping self against his chest. The tears that he had been controlling the entire time were rolling down his cheeks. Y/n was sobbing into his chest, leaving damp spots on his cotton shirt.

"You have your parents, y/n. I am sure they will never force you to become one of them" Regular tapped her shoulder.

"No. They are waiting for me to be seventeen, for the trace to break. So that they could keep this confidential. My parents are already in his inner circle. There is zero chances for me to escape it either. It's just matter of time."

When she said that, Regulus felt everything around him fall apart. He was more scared of y/n having the mark then he himself carrying one on his skin. His body trembled. He could never even imagine what kind of struggles she will have to face. If anything happened to her, he couldn't even imagine a day without her.

"I don't have anyone except you, Regulus. Please don't do this to me. Please don't do this to me." She repeated the last sentence over and over again. Begging him to make the right decision.

"Why are you so devastated over this, y/n?"

"Because I Love you idiot! I have loved you as long as I can remember. I love you, Reggie. I love you so much that it hurts to see you bearing the mark. It hurts every bit of me" y/b pushed him away, her tears never stopping.

"You love me?" Regulus repeated her words, processing the happiness he felt at that moment. Despite everything happening around him, the fact that y/n loved him soothes him. She looked up into his eyes, completely loosing herself into the brewing storm.

"Yes. I love you. I never had the balls to tell that to you. I was too scared to ruin our friendship. I was too scared that you would hate me" she chuckled sorrowfully. " But now? What the point of being scared? I love you Regulus"

Regulus embraced her, inhaling her flowery scented filling it up as if he will never breathe again. This is the last smell I want to feel before I die, he thought to himself. " I love you, y/n. I too was too scared to ruin our friendship"

She had made up her mind. She will become a death eater too. Life or death all she wants is to be beside Regulus. The boy who she held the most dear to her heart. The only person who showed her what true unconditional love is. The one person she shredded the walls and let in. The only person who felt real on her entire life that was designed by her parents to represent the Pure-bloodline.

"It's okay if you still want to bear that mark on you. But, I will be one too. Let's face anything and everything happens together. If we are destined to die together, Reggie.  So be it. "

That night decided two children's fate. The fate that they have got a few more years to live. The fate that Regulus will have to see the girl he loves die in his own hands. The fate that he will be forced to live the remaining three months of his life alone, with the only purpose of destroying The Dark Lord who robbed their happy life from them. The fate that they both will be reunited in the afterlife. Where they will attain peace and love.
