Accidentally on Purpose ~ Regulus Black AU

❝In which the girl who feels too much gets close to the boy who wants to feel nothing.❞

━━If one would ask Regulus Black to give his opinion on Alera Abbot, he would unhesitatingly tell you that she was a walking hazard to society.

But in his defence, she had accidentally almost killed/harmed him one too many times to count, starting from when they were five on a playdate which eventually let him to being rushed to the hospital and be treated with a concussion, to just recently, when she had managed to drop a pinch of pixie dust into Regulus' potion, causing it to erupt in flames and nearly set him on fire.

Alera might be the sweetest and kindest person in Hogwarts, but Regulus personally felt that she was on a mission to kill him, no matter if his family thought that he was overreacting or his friends assumed that he was cooking up conspiracy theories.

Speaking of people whose 'death list' he was on, he knows one too many secrets of a certain Dark Lord who does not take kindly to traitors. Regulus was on a suicide mission, prepared to sacrifice himself if it meant that the monster would finally be mortal.

If only Alera wasn't so observant or stubborn, then maybe she wouldn't have gotten roped into his quest, reasoning that since she's accidentally almost killed/hurt him so many times, imagine what she might do on purpose.

And that was the background story behind the excessive brewing of polyjuice potion, alarmingly increasing number of 'missing dragon' posters, books borrowed on 'How to grow your own man-eating plant at home' and so many more chaotic havoc that would occur as the months progressed.

Oh, and also the longing stares, quick glances to beautiful lips and brushes of hands that both Regulus and Alera would firmly deny flashing to the other (even though they totally did)━━
