{𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝟱} There are some stories that are told, but some others are just meant to be buried away. We have all heard the heroic story of Regulus Black; a Pureblood wizard who joined the Dark Lord at a young age, only to see the darkness within. So he finds one of his Horcruxes and sacrifices himself in hopes of destroying it. Or at least, this is just a small part of a story which we've never been told before; a tale that other than Regulus, only a girl named Alexandra Starling could've known.

"Ok, then what are some other 'assumptions' of yours?" Regulus asked. I set my tea down and stared at him. "You think coffee tastes like dirt, you prefer your mum over your dad, you convince yourself that the reason you hate your brother is because he's irritating and not because you actually miss him, when you were little you wanted to play professional quidditch, and your dream is to live in the French countryside." "I hate France," he said. "Just assumptions," I repeated again with a small smirk. *********************************************************************************************** While the wizarding world is on the brink of its first war, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry remains a sanctuary for students. Thalia Lark, a seventh-year Slytherin, returns to school along with the majority of her classmates. Thalia, however, struggles to feel a sense of normalcy after the death of her brother, Roman. Regulus Black, newly recruited death eater, grapples with the same quest for normalcy when he finds himself swallowed by a life he didn't choose. The two gravitate towards one another and form an unlikely bond. Follow the slow-burning story of friendship, love, and war in "Assumption." I do not own any rights to the Harry Potter franchise.

In which a headstrong Muggleborn Gryffindor and a stubborn Slytherin pureblood can't say the right things to each other at the right time and must learn the hard way that if you know how you feel, and you know what you need to say; you should not wait, you should speak now.
