Don't Tell Anyone About This | Regulus Black

"If you breathe a word of this to anyone,
I'll transfigure you into a cockroach."

"Don't worry, this is equally
embarrassing for me."

Nerezza Stark and Regulus Black had been rivals since their second year of Hogwarts when she'd jinxed his broom during Flying class and sent him hurtling into the dirt.

Needless to say, they hadn't gotten along after that.

They would compete for the highest grades, argue over who house would win the quidditch matches, bicker incessantly, and desperately try to beat each other in everything.

Though years in the future, when Nerezza would look back over her time at Hogwarts and tell her story, she wouldn't start with the Flying class incident.
Her story always started at the beginning of fifth year. That was what lead to the greatest thing that ever happened to her.

The greatest and the worst.
