Having your heartbroken by Regulus Black wasn't on the agenda of your sixth year at Hogwarts. Starting off as friends in first year, you were with him through thick and thin. Except, something changed fourth year. You both liked eachother, and you fell in love.
A hopeless romantic
Then, he became colder after he told you he had joined the Death Eaters to keep Sirius, his brother, out of it. Then, he broke up with you, out of the blue. He didn't tell you he was doing this to protect you from them. He wouldn't.
Regulus now only comes up to you in crowded places, like the library or during meals. He doesn't have much of a relationship with anyone else. He's become colder towards you, but you notice him watching you across crowded rooms. When you smile or say something that interests him, he lets out a small smile, quickly hiding it afterwards.
One afternoon at Hogwarts
He has found you crying in the astronomy tower by yourself
Regulus saw you crying, and immediately ran up to you. Hugging you, but not saying anything, as he took in the sight of your tears. His eyes narrowed in rage as he felt his blood boil, wanting to shout at your for letting someone hurt you. Instead, he gently wipes a tear from your cheek.
"I hate myself...I hate everything..."
You say with tears running down your face.
"Don't ever say that again!"
Regulus says with a stern tone.
"I simply won't let you say those things...I won't let you hate yourself..."
He says with a much softer tone.
"Everyone leaves me...I have no one..."
You say with a broken voice, it's true, you don't have anyone, which breaks his heart.
"I won't leave you." he promises. "I promise no matter what." He then holds your face, looking at you. "You're mine, and I am yours. This may be cheesy, but I mean it: I want you, and only you. Even while apart, you're always mine."
"You did leave...You left me...For no reason...."
You say, with your heart broken.
The way his heart stops. He couldn't bear to hurt you, which was the reason he left you in the first place. Not wanting you to get dragged into his mess, but he hurt you anyways. He wraps his arms around you. "I needed to protect you..."
He whispers.
"Protect me from what?"
You whisper back.
His grip tightens. He's too afraid to answer, too afraid to hurt you again. Instead he just buries his face into your neck, his breaths shuddering as it feels like an eternity before he speaks. "Me."
"You're a still a death eater...aren't you...."
You say with a shaky voice.
He flinches at the way you look at him. He nods his head, too ashamed to speak.
"I still love you..."
You whisper and hug him.
He pulls you into a tight embrace, whispering to you as he holds you.
"I love you, too. And I'm sorry."
"Can we still be together..."
You say as you rub your thumb against his hand.
He looks down at you, his dark eyes meeting yours as he shakes his head.
"I'll always love you, but I can't drag you into a life with me. Too many people hate Death Eaters, and they'll go through you to get to me."
"I'll still love you...
Even if we can't be together...."
You say.
He buries his face into your neck once more, his voice breaking.
"You'll always have my heart... and I'll always have yours..."
"I love you Reggie...."
You whisper to him as you stroke his hair.
His voice breaks at that word, and he buries his head into you again. His voice is shaky as he fights tears.
