Delilah Pierce didn't have the best home life, and when in school she tended to blend in with the crowd. She didn't mind it though, she was perfectly content with her 2 friends and her brother.
But what happens when she comes back to her six year a...

Two weeks have passed, Classes were alright, they were still going over the things we learned last year, nothing new. The only thing that has been bugging me is Reg, he was quieter than normal, he seemed to be distancing himself.
Im going to kill Black
I'm not gonna let him close himself from the world, if I let him go on like this he'll start to spiral. So with that in mind, I walk to the slytherin common room.
"Salazar" the door opens and I walk in trying to not make my presence known, a few Slytherins look at me but it doesn't last long, they just turn back to whatever they're doing.
Going up the stairs to the dorms I spot Regulus' room and without knocking I barge in, making sure to avoid looking at his side of the dorm.
Regulus jolt up in his bed, clutching his heart. "What the fuck Lilah! Are you trying to kill me?" he exclaims.
I take in his appearance, he looks worse than before, if that's even possible. His cheeks are slightly more hollow and his under eyes are turning an alarming shade of purple, He looks starved and sleep deprived.
I narrow my eyes at him. "Follow me" I say, and with that I turn and start walking away. When I don't hear footsteps behind me I turn to see him standing on the same spot I left him. "Now." I demand, he widens his eyes and starts walking.
I lead us to the kitchens and once we were inside, a dozen house elves stopped their movement to look at us. "Ms.Delilah!" I hear the shout coming from the back of the room.
Tiny feet slap the floor until I see my favorite house elf. "Ms.Delilah! Ticky has missed you!" She runs up to me and hugs my leg.
I met Ticky when I was in first year, she's smaller than other house elves and she got this big blue doe eyes. She sneaks me all the goodies, alcohol included.
I love her.
I kneel down and hug her back with a smile on my face. "I've missed you too Ticky. Do you mind if I have the kitchen for a little while? "I ask.
She shakes her head "kitchen is yours!" she turns around. "Out! Out! Out!" she yells at the other house elves before leaving too.
Reg looks at the now empty kitchen with a confused frown. "What are you doing?" he asks.
I shove him on a stool and roll up my sleeves, washing my hands and walking around to find the ingredients. "I want to bake something, and you're going to help me" I smiled at him. "Now, wash your hands, we're making cannolis" I grinned at him, earning a small smile in return.
it's not much but it's something.
He got up and washed his hands while I put the ingredients on the counter. I grabbed the bowls and utensils we needed while he looked at everything with so much confusion it make me laugh.
This boy has never cooked a day in his life.
"Ok I'll make the dough" I said, then pointed to him. "you are in change of the filling, we are making three. Chocolate, classic, and caramel"
He nods, looking determined. "Yeah ok, one problem tho....how do I even start?" He says.
I chuckle and write down the instructions for him, then I focus on making the dough. While I was walking around the kitchen I saw a record player in a corner and I had an idea.
I took out my wand muttering a spell so music started playing. That gets me a big smile from Reg. Walking around the kitchen I take a spoon and use it as a microphone.
...Stars shining bright above you
I sing along and Reg turns his head to me, chuckling and shaking his head before turning back.
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
I start swaying to the music while smiling at him.
Birds singing in the sycamore tree.
I get behind him and put my head over his shoulder, still holding onto that spoon.
Dream a little dream of me.
I sing smiling, before holding the spoon to him. He raises a brow but cedes, singing the next part.
Say nighty-night and kiss me
His voice is smooth as he sings, he grabs my hand smiling before spinning me.
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me.
He pulls me back and this time I spin him.
While i'm alone and blue as can be
He gives me back the spoon with a laugh.
Dream a little dream of me.
We finish together.
He smiles and hugs me, "thank you, I definitely needed that" he mumbles.
I pull away after a while, moving to take out the shelf of the cannolis out of the oven, letting them cool down before filling them.
"Of course, I'm here for you Reg"I say, then I turn and smirk at him. "You're not going soft on me, are you?"
He rolls his eyes at me, the ghost of a smirk on his lips. "Oh please Lilah, don't be an idiot"
I snicker and continue filling the shells, he comes next to me and helps me.
"Lilah...where is Kay?" he asks after a while.
My heart drops to my feet and all traces of happiness leave me. I feel tears starting to form in my eyes, but I don't let them fall. "It's just that I haven't seen him, and he hasn't been in the dorm. D-Did I do something?" He says.
Kay
"No Reg" my voice wobbles, so I take a deep breath before speaking again. "You didn't do anything wrong"
He looks at me concerned but doesn't ask questions. I'll tell him eventually. I Have to. He deserved to know.
But the problem is how?...When?
I haven't even processed it myself. I can't. I don't want to.
How- How do I tell him that the person he loves is never coming back to him?
