Is it love? [Regulus x Reader]

Chapter 3

(Marauders room)

Y/n sat down on James' bed and grabbed the first aid kid from underneath the bed. She placed a cloth on the would and lightly dabbed it clean. Although she winced at the pain, she pushed through and then used a non verbal spell to stitch it up. Y/N began to grow tired and ended up passing out on James' bed.

(The next day)

When Y/n woke up, she realised that it was only 4am. Knowing that the conversation would pop up one way or another, she walked into the boy's room to find Remus awake and everyone asleep. Remus was sitting at the edge of his bed with his elbows on his knees and hands cupping his mouth. He looked like he hadn't slept a wink and had huge bags under his eyes. When is eyes met Y/n's, he jumped up to hug her.

"Y/N..." He spoke softly, "I'm sorry, about all of it. I should have controlled myself better. And because I didn't, you got hurt! You could have died!"

She stopped him talking by wrapping her arms around his neck, forming and embrace. He was uneasy about it until wrapping his arms around Y/n's waist.

Soon Y/n felt his head rest on her shoulder and him relaxed. Just as they fell out of the hug, James woke up. He lifted his head up to see the girl.

"Y/N!" He shot up and ran and hugged her tightly, "What were you thinking?!"

"Careful! Careful, James. I'm still stiff!" Y/n groaned, a low chuckle escaping her lips

"Sorry." He let her go

They both smiled until James saw the stitches. He rested one hand on her neck and the other on the wound. Y/n winced at the contact so he moved his hand away and gave me a small kiss on the forehead.

"Who sewed it up." He moved Y/n's head to see the wound better

"I used a spell." She explained, "It was easier than going to Pomfrey and having to explain the situation."

Peter and Sirius woke up and came over to join the three in the middle of the room. Peter hugged Y/n while Sirius smiled and stood next to Remus. Y/n stared at the two and they both eminently blushed and turned their heads away from each other.

"I'm going got get changed and get food." Y/n said then left the room

(In the great hall)

When Y/n walked in it just happened to be the same time and the marauders. Just as the food appeared, Regulus walked in  and made eye contact with Y/n for a few seconds until she broke it and focused on breakfast.

"So, we have charms first, but what lesson is second?" James asked

"Dark arts." Y/n said before continuing to eat

"I'm terrible at that!" Peter complained

"Yeah, Moony and Vix are the only good ones at it!" James huffed, "They might as well be professors."

Y/N's eyes searched the room to find regulus again. His Black hair falling in front of his face as he looked down. She knew he felt my eyes on him because he looked up at her. But his friend caught his attention so he looked away. Seeing everyone leaving, Y/n decided to head to class.

(Charms class)

When they got to the class barely anyone was there but could see that Professor Flitwick had something to say. Once everyone came in we were told that there was- sadly- a new seating plan. Before, she used to sit with Remus and Peter while James and Sirius sat behind them but now she sat between Regulus and Barty with Marlene, Sirius and Remus behind them. Y/n sighed before sitting down and letting the lesson start.

"You'll need to work in trios with the two people next you you to create a paper about everything we have learnt for the N.E.W.T exams coming up." Flitwick announced, "And, if you complain about your partners, I will have to fail you."

Flitwick continued talking about what things we needed to do until Y/n was distracted by a tap on the shoulder. She turned to face Barty and then Regulus, but the two were focused on the lesson, until facing behind her to see it was Sirius. He passed a folded piece of paper to her so she took it and Y/n turned around again with the paper in hand. When she opened it, it had a list of things.

Hogsmeade shopping list:
Remus- Chocolate

Sirius-a new Leather jacket

James- Anything Quidditch related

Peter- Doesn't want anything

P.S=
I don't like you sitting not to my brother
-Sirius

Y/n stared back at them before sighing and putting the paper in the pocket of her cloak. Regulus watched as she put it away but decided to not worry about it.

"Why should I work with a filthy Gryffindor?" Barty leaned forward to ask Regulus as if Y/n just wasn't there

"I'm right here you know?!" Y/n caught his attention

Regulus looked down at Y/n and Barty just snarled and turned away. They continued the project with struggle until lesson was over and it was tasked as homework.

Y/n walked out and snuck round a corner so she was alone. Checking she had the paper still, she headed to the secret tunnel to Hogsmeade. Every now and then, Y/n felt as if someone was watching her, but whenever she turned around, no one was there. Just as Y/n reached the statue to Hogsmeade, she had one final check behind herself to see if anyone was there but there was nothing. Just as she was about to pull out her wand, she found it missing. Turning her head, she saw Regulus and Barty.

Barty was holding her wand in his hand with a smirk, "You need to be more careful with these things."

"What do you two want?" Y/n glared them

"Where are you going?" Regulus asked

His eyes shon in the shadows that engulfed the room while his hair, as usual, was falling in front of his face and he had an expressionless face. Y/n reached out to grab her wand back but was stopped by Regulus grabbing her wrist. Her sleeve slowly fell down her arm so she pulled away before the two boys could see anything.

"Was that words on your arm? I saw an 'r'." Barty asked sternly 

For the first time, he seemed concerned for her.

"It's nothing." Y/n adjusted her sleeve

"Potter, what is it?" Regulus asked

"Why do you care?" She stepped back, "You never cared when it happened, or when Sirius was abused. Or if you did, you didn't even show it."

Regulus stepped back, slightly hurt by my words.

"What about the screams coming from the dining room that one summer break? Did you even think about who that was? Or did your mind immediately think it was Sirius and you shrugged it off?" Tears started to fill Y/n's eyes

"Y/N." He started

"Don't. Just don't." A tear rolled down my sewn up scar

Regulus used his legimency to find the memory and see what was on her arm: a scar that carved out the words 'Blood Traitor'.
