The Slytherin common room was filled with a few students this evening. The sounds of talking and light laughter filled the room as the students lounge about ready to relax and reset from a long week of school. Near the fireplace stood Regulus. His back straight, his face blank and stoic as he casually looked around the room. The fire crackled and popped softly in the background as his eyes soon roamed over to you seeing you were sitting with a group of your friends talking quietly.

Regulus’s mind has been fixated on you and only you for as long as he could remember. He held his emotions and feelings back while you were dating your last boyfriend. You two had a messy break up and he had given you time before he started to try and talk to you more. He has had strong feelings for you and he was hoping you would give him a chance but you shot him down every time.

It wasn't because you weren’t interested because he could tell your hesitancy came from your last boyfriend breaking your heart, and you didn’t want that to happen again. He knew he should probably back down but he couldn't help but be a bit selfish. He knew he would be good for you. He would treat you like the queen you were. Like how you deserve to be treated. He wanted to show you how he could love you like no one else. But he needed to break down those walls. He was not going to give up.

As you talked with your friends you felt eyes on you so you looked away scanning the room till your eyes landed on Regulus. He stood up a bit straighter when you noticed him and you flash him a quick smile then look back to your friends. He felt his heart skip in that moment. Butterflies filling his stomach at the sight of your smile.

“She will be mine. I just need to figure out how to get her to give me a chance.” He murmurs to himself before his attention goes back to Barty and Even who were standing with him engaged in a conversation.
