𝕴 𝖉𝖔𝖓'𝖙 𝖑𝖔𝖛𝖊 𝖞𝖔𝖚 ~ Regulus black x reader

19

Normal. I was a perfectly normal sixth-year head prefect student at Hogwarts. I did my rounds. I went to class, handed in my work, studied. that was the facade. make them believe I was fine until the end of the year. then. I run, that was the plan. Oh, there was one tiny part I forgot to mention. avoid that backstabbing bitch regulus at all costs. whether it was saying I had quidditch practice with my other beater or I had to study, I had plans or having Sirius or James step in. no matter what it took. I had a large house with my name quite literally on it, waiting for me when I escaped. but to do that, today I had to achieve the impossible. Become friends with the worst Slytherin there ever was to live. Allester. I needed him on my side. no matter how much I denied it he held immense power over the majority of the Slytherins. so here we go. I stormed out of my room looking like my usual dark scowling self. I walked across the hall to the black door directly across from mine. next to the door, there was a silver shimmering plaque that read;

𝒜𝓁𝓁𝑒𝓈𝓉𝑒𝓇 𝒬𝓊𝒾𝓇𝓀𝑒

 𝒽𝑒𝒶𝒹 𝒷𝑜𝓎

I groaned a little and knocked on the door. his usual preppy 'I'm better than you but I won't say it' voice spoke up,

"come in" I rolled my eyes and pushed the door open, the long-haired ginger was sitting in his desk scribbling away feverishly at a piece of parchment. he clearly knew someone was there but refused to turn from his work. I coughed a little to grab his attention. he sighed loudly and turned to look at me. his eyes widened as he saw me leaning against his doorframe clad in black. 

"Y-y/n can I help you" he tried to cover his clear nervousness, although I wasn't entirely sure why he was nervous, he knew I wouldn't hurt him unless I was in a specifically bad mood. 

"Merlin, I'm pathetic" I let out another sigh "I was hoping, wondering if you possibly wanted to try and be" I grimaced a little "friends?" I swear his eyes almost popped out of his head,

"I- You- what!?" 

"I would like to start whatever this is" I gestured back n forth with my finger between us "over again. as friends" he jumped up from his seat,

"yes absolutely!" his happy face quickly grew skeptical "your not playing me are you?" I shook my head,

"no I'm entirely serious, I swear it on my mothers grave" I tensed a little as I spoke the last bit, I will admit, I wasn't expecting to have been so upset about their death, but I was a cruel fuckin person, doesn't mean I can't have some sympathy. Allester nodded,

"Hey, um, I'm sorry about, your parents" 

"um, thanks, I honestly don't know how to act, I hated them and they hated me but for some reason, I still care" I shrugged trying to be casual, why did I say that!? I hated him five minutes ago, what happened to me, am I going soft!? 

"Everyone deserves to be mourned, even by the one responsible for their death" he shrugged, I snicked a little,

"how in Salazar's sake did you not end up as a Ravenclaw?" he laughed a little, oh god, his laugh was amazing, NO! no, I didn't mean it like that! what the hell is going on with me!? 

"I honestly have no idea" I didn't know what I was doing, I walked over and linked my arm through his, 

"cmon, we're going for a walk" I flashed him a genuine smile and he gave me the same back, I couldn't help but stare for a second into his perfect green eyes, like emeralds, they were beautiful. NO! what the hell is wrong with me! I'm using him, whats with the smiles and walks. I looked away and against my will blushed a little. he's just a hot guy, it doesn't mean I have feelings for him. I shook it off and pulled him along with me outside and down to the black lake. 

I was genuinely surprised to say that I had a good time, we talked and laughed the entire way down. I stopped when I came across the usual oak tree I unlinked my arm and walked over. I began to climb it with ease, even in my extremely high heels. Allester leaned against the tree, I sat down on my favourite branch,

"you coming?" he looked up at me,

"oh, uh sure" he awkwardly began to climb the tree. I giggled a little as he finally sat on the branch next to me. he let out an exasperated mix between a sigh and a groan,

"how do you do that!?" I just shrugged,

"practice" we sat in comfortable silence for a while just looking at the view,

"h-hey, Y-Y/n" I just hummed in response, my eyes set on the lake,

"can I tell you something?" 

"hit me" I turned to face him and to my surprise, he was blushing quite hard,

"I" he groaned "here goes, I like you, I have since the start of the year but I didn't want to push it because I knew you were with regulus, I uh yeah" he looked down awkwardly, I was frozen in my place, he liked me? but, but, what!? did I like him back? I mean yes hell, of course, he was good looking but, did I actually have feelings for him? well, I suppose there was one easy way to find out, I grabbed him by the collar and kissed him. he was shocked but quickly kissed back, I'll admit he was one hell of a good kisser but it was nothing like kissing regulus. there was no spark as cliche as it sounds. I pulled away, breathing heavily,

"that do anything for you?"

"Actually no, y-you?" I just shook my head,

"go back to absolutely hating each other?"

"yup" he quickly jumped down from the tree and walked away, well fuck. that was one of the weirdest encounters I've ever had.
