The Secret Life of Regulus Black

20

I froze, staring up at the woman before me.

"Regulus, I know your animagus form, it's you isn't it?" fidelia said with a small frown. I tensed. "I know you're alive, please, let me see you."

I internally sighed.

Why? why did she find me, how did she find me. Why does she want to see me?

I'm not ready for her to know, how does she know?

Thinking quickly I decide to act like any normal cat and I turn around, swishing my tail and walking away.

"I don't like doing this, but I need to know. Mandrakes."

I freeze, the vow we made coming back to bite me. The pain slowly grew, as a warning, I turned around and took human form.

Her face falls into a frown and tears well in her eyes, she throws herself into my arms, hugging me tightly.

I shut my eyes tight and inhale deeply, after a moment she backs away and slaps me.

"You ass! Merlin! I thought you were dead, you know! Then I realised my necklace was still working." she had tears in her eyes and it took everything in me not to wipe them away.

She stared at me for a moment, "well? Are you going to explain yourself?"

I looked around then spoke, "not here, someone could be watching me."

She frowned but nodded nonetheless. I pulled out my wand and changed my face again then led her to my hotel.

The walk was silent and for that i was glad.

My head was reeling.

She knew.

How could she know?

She kept the necklace? I gave that to her in third year.

It was Charmed with an altered connection charm. So long as I was alive it would glow. My parents had gotten extra abusive that year.

I frowned, not happy with the memory.

A shook my head a bit and got my thoughts back on track.

She knows, and she missed me.

I think.

She hated me.

But she immediately hugged me.

Then slapped me,

But she was crying and she hugged me.

I sighed in frustration.

We walked into the room and I put a silencing charm up.

She looked at me expectantly.

I nodded and sat on the bed, quickly taking off the charms on my face and hair..

"I guess you want an explanation." I sighed, running a hand through my hair, tired and anxious.

"Ok, well I guess I should start with getting the mark. I suppose it was my parents' idea of a birthday present. They sprung it on me and didn't tell me till he was already in the house. After that he ignored me for the most part." She moved to sit in the chair next to the bed.

"I didn't want to tell you because I knew you hated me, but I didn't want to lose you and if they had seen me with you they would have killed you. So the best way to keep you safe was to avoid you."

She frowned, "so your way of not losing me was to push me away?"

I nodded, "stupid, yea. Anyways, he came to me one night shortly after hogwarts, requesting kreacher and i obliged, and he took kreacher, kreacher came back almost dead not long after and i healed him."

She frowned as I told her the details of what happened, having been fond of kreacher.

"That ass! How could he!?" she shouted some more and threw in a ton of profanity and I smiled softly, remembering how she only cures and when extremely mad. Her eyes lit up with anger and her face got red and I looked at her.

How can someone so deadly be so cute?

She quieted down after a minute and told me to continue. So I did.

"After that i did some more research and realised Voldemort had created a horcrux to make himself immortal. Its an object one puts part of their soul in, very dark and the process is horrible and the object is almost impossible to destroy."

She had a look of horro on her face. 

"So i decided to go after it, i had kreacher bring me t the cave and then after i got it i made him think i hadnt survived and i left. I gave the locket to kreacher to destroy and figured the next best step would be to go undercove till i had more information, however the potters dies too soon and sirius was stupid. However he created more than one, and recently ive collected them and destroyed them, there are still more but dumbledore knows of them and will have a better tme of finding them, and i cant get to them as i dong know the location, otherwise id be after one now."

There was a thick silence and after a moment i continued.

"I've been undercover and crookshanks, the cat, the pet of this girl Hermione, shes friends with harry potter, and i helped sirius, who is innocent by the way. Dumbledor and the order dont know im slive and i plan to keep it that way."

We sat quietly as i finished. Then she spoke.

"Im sorry. For being so cold to you, i was horrible and when you were announced dead i felt horrible, id missed you more than anything. However i found my necklace a mother after and it was still glowing, and i did a charm on the vow to see if it was still relevant." she had tears in her eyes.

I welked over and pulled her into my arms.

"Im so sorry. I missed you so much. And i knew you were alive but i- it still hurt, knowing that you were out there and could die any day and that you thought i hated you and that i would never see you again." she sobbed.

"Its ok. I promise ill never die on you, not without your permission." i joked at the end, rubbing my finger up and down her spine as i held her.

"Im sorry." she whispered.

"Its alright, ma petite abeille."

She sighed and sniffled and we sat there ofr a moment.

I know its silly but i couldnt help but feel a bit happy, after all these years i had her in my arms, it filled me with i warm feeling anda buried my face into her hair.
