That night in his dorm, Regulus didn't stick to his nightly ritual of getting into bed naked, and cutting his already severely wounded skin.
He sat on his bed in a hoodie and sweat pants and read the daily prophet. He did anything to keep his mind of off cutting. James had changed him without realising it!
However, he knew this wasn't permanent. He knew James' charm would wear off eventually, but that didn't matter to him. They had practically hugged! This thought made Regulus smile. He hadn't smiled in a while. It was nice.
That week, Regulus and Sirius only saw each other three times. It killed Regulus. It killed him to hate and love James, the fact that James had changed him killed him. He wanted to die because of it.
But something was stopping him. The intrusive thoughts still came to him, though he was ignoring them. He didn't do anything about them.
When his inner voice told him to throw himself from the highest tower in Hogwarts, he didn't contemplate it. He told himself to live for James. And if he wasn't able to live for James, he would not be loyal to him. James might not return this love but he still had Regulus's full respect and loyalty.
Regulus would live for James.
But would James live for Regulus? Or did his intrusive thoughts get to him? Did he crumble under the influence of his own mind? Just like Regulus used to.
