I'm not- surprised or anything.

[His voice is soft, yet angry.]

But you Gryffindors have to be the most useless of the lot. Can't even band together when there's an emergency. No, you've got to split up and die separate, like a bloody herd of sheep. 's good that there's one less of you, really.

[A long pause, and he slowly gets over himself.

And because he can't filter messages and generally sucks at everything that doesn't involve spellcraft...]


Vi- I found a better table than the one we're using. A couple candles too, for light. Want to meet me in a bit?

He was disowned.

[So technically, not anymore.]

So he probably thinks you hate him, right?

He-

[Regulus is quiet for a moment. He doesn't quite know how to explain just- everything. And then finally, softly-]

-he left.

Left everything behind.

[Inhaling a deep drag of the cigarette- it's almost spent.]

It's like- he went off to school and met new people and became a different person. It was just his friends this, and his friends that. He was so stupid. After awhile, he couldn't take our family anymore. Packed his trunk and ran away to his friend's house.

[Regulus burns his fingers on the tip of the cigarette and curses, dropping it and stepping on it.]

...he asked me to go with him.

It must have really sucked to lose him.

Dunno.

[Sucking on his fingers where he'd burned them.]

None of it matters now.

Of course it does! You've been handed a second chance, dumbass.

Listen, I know something about this, okay?

Yeah?

The place is damaged. Everyone who dies on the property is sucked back in.

That's weird.

[Curious.]

That's what you think happened to you?

Yeah.

These people... they live forever, Regulus, but the window where they get to put their regrets to rest is really, really small. If you miss it, you might have an eternity of wishing you hadn't.

[He thinks about that for a long moment, and shakes his head.]

I don't know what to do.

Tell him.

[Authoritative.]

And in return, if my parents show up, I'll tell them I do love them.

[He looks at her for a long moment, before sighing.]

-we'll see.

They were getting a divorce.

She had this brutal miscarriage a year and a bit ago, and then he cheated on her with a girl a couple of years older than me. So instead of handling it like adults, they decided to move us across the country. They uprooted me from all my friends, switched me schools, and moved us into this house that was incredibly fucking haunted.

So she's pregnant again, and now they're flipping their shit, again, and he's maybe moving out. Needless to say they don't have a lot of time for me.

Ouch.

[He winces.]

You really still love them?
