Love Beyond Secrets | Regulus Black X OC

Chapter 6 | Secrets Unveiled

Tension hung heavy in the air as Sirius and Remus stood facing Luna and Regulus in the Gryffindor common room. Sirius's fists were clenched at his sides, his expression dark with anger, while Remus's features were twisted in a mix of shock and betrayal.

"Luna, is it true?" Remus's voice was barely above a whisper, but it cut through the silence like a knife. "Are you really dating Regulus? And is he...is he really a Death Eater?"

Luna's heart sank at the hurt and disappointment in Remus's eyes. She glanced at Regulus, who stood beside her, his jaw set in a defiant line.

"Yes, Remus, it's true," Luna admitted, her voice trembling with emotion. "Regulus and I are together, and he...he is a Death Eater."

Sirius's eyes flashed with fury as he took a step forward, his voice dripping with venom. "How could you, Luna? How could you be with someone like him?"

Luna's heart raced as she met Sirius's gaze, her own eyes flashing with defiance. "Because I love him, Sirius," she declared, her voice steady despite the fear bubbling inside her. "And I won't apologize for that."

Remus shook his head in disbelief, his fists clenching at his sides. "You're putting yourself in danger, Luna," he warned, his voice tinged with desperation. "You don't know what he's capable of."

Luna felt a surge of anger rising within her as she met Remus's gaze. "And what about you, Remus?" she challenged, her voice rising with each word. "You're one to talk about secrets, aren't you?"

Remus paled at the accusation, his eyes widening in shock. "What do you mean?" he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.

Luna's lips curled into a bitter smile as she leaned in closer, her voice low and threatening. "I mean, I know your secret, Remus," she whispered, her words like ice. "I know that you're in love with Sirius."

Remus's face drained of color as he stared at Luna in horror, his secret laid bare for all to see. Sirius's eyes widened in shock as he turned to look at Remus, the truth dawning on him with painful clarity.

"Luna, please," Remus begged, his voice barely a whisper. "Don't tell him. Please."

Luna's expression softened slightly as she regarded Remus, a flicker of sympathy in her eyes. "Forgive me, Remus," she murmured, her voice barely audible. "And I won't say a word."

With a heavy heart, Remus nodded, his eyes brimming with unshed tears. And in that moment, as the weight of their secrets hung heavy in the air, Luna knew that their lives would never be the same again.
