Y/N never imagined herself falling for someone like Regulus Black. Their friendship had grown into something deeper over time, fueled by shared interests, late-night conversations, and stolen moments of laughter and joy. But as their feelings for each other blossomed, they knew that their relationship would have to remain a secret, hidden from the prying eyes of their families and the judgmental gaze of society.
They met in secret, stealing kisses in hidden alcoves and sharing whispered words of affection under the cover of darkness. Y/N treasured these moments, cherishing the love they shared while longing for the day when they could be together openly, without fear or shame.
But fate had other plans.
One fateful evening, as Y/N and Regulus walked hand in hand through the streets of Diagon Alley, they were confronted by a pair of stern-faced adults—Regulus's parents.
His mother's eyes narrowed with disdain as she looked at Y/N, her lip curling in disgust. "What is the meaning of this, Regulus?" she demanded, her voice dripping with contempt. "Why are you associating with this... this Mudblood?"
Y/N's heart clenched at the derogatory term, but she refused to cower in the face of their bigotry. She stood tall, her chin lifted defiantly as she met Mrs. Black's gaze head-on.
"Y/N is my girlfriend," Regulus declared, his voice steady despite the tension crackling in the air. "And I love her."
His father's face twisted into a mask of rage. "You dare bring this filth into our family?" he spat, his voice booming with fury. "You disgrace us all, Regulus!"
Y/N felt a knot form in her stomach as she watched the scene unfold. She had known that Regulus's family would never accept her, but she hadn't been prepared for the depth of their hatred.
Regulus stepped forward, shielding Y/N from his parents' wrath. "I won't apologize for who I love," he said firmly, his eyes blazing with determination. "I won't let you dictate my life anymore."
But his parents were unmoved. They disowned him on the spot, casting him out of the family and severing all ties with him.
Y/N watched in horror as Regulus's world crumbled around him. She reached out to him, wrapping her arms around him in a comforting embrace as tears welled in her eyes.
"I'm so sorry," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "I never wanted to cause you pain."
Regulus held her close, his grip tight as he buried his face in her hair. "You didn't," he murmured, his voice raw with emotion. "You gave me something worth fighting for."
Despite the pain and uncertainty that lay ahead, Y/N knew that their love was worth fighting for. Together, they would face whatever challenges came their way, standing side by side as they forged their own path, guided by the light of their love and the strength of their bond. And though their journey would be difficult, they would emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before, united in their love and their unwavering commitment to each other.
