Hey guys! So, this is a songfic I made based on the fanfic The Light, by Everliah. It's from Regulus's point of view (The songfic) but the actual fic is a Hermione time travel fanfiction. Read it!

You left me all alone,

You left me to the monsters,

I was never as brave as you.

Regulus watches with wide eyes as his mother beats his brother. He winces when his brother is slammed into the ground. His brother. His strong, brave, Gryffindor brother who hung out with muggles and acted nothing like a Slytherin. Everything Regulus wanted to be.

I walked up,

Waiting,

Hoping you would comfort me like always

When I'm lost.

Regulus tiptoes upstairs, slowly opening his brother's bedroom. The bed is empty. It had been a week since Sirius had been beaten near to death. Where was he? He promised he would always be there. Regulus looked around, finding only dust and a note. He unfolds it.

I'm Sorry.

Reg fell asleep in his brother's bed sobbing himself dry of tears, hating his brother for abandoning him in this hell hole.

I grew cold,

Weary and sad,

Submitting to the monsters of my house.

I became a weapon,

Only meant to cause pain,

Watching and acting like the perfect boy.

Regulus stares coldly at his brother, jeering and calling him a mudblood lover. His friends laugh. He only feels pain inside, and looks at his brother, willing him to understand. He gets punched in the face. He tries to hate him, but he can't. He never could.

And then she came creeping out of the shadows,

Slowly worming her way into my heart,

She laughed and was so exuberant,

And I grasped on.

Regulus watches Hermione in the Great Hall. She throws her head back and laughs loudly, looking so happy and carefree. As though she has no troubles. Reg hadn't laughed like that in a long time.

I was a Lost Boy,

No Purpose and set adrift,

Running from Captain Hook and his monsters,

But you were there for me in my time of need,

You were the Light in the Darkness.

Regulus cries in pain as he looks at his new Dark Mark. Him, a Death Eater. He had betrayed Hermione. Hermione. He expected her to hate him; after all, he was a mudblood hater now. Branded by a monster. Stupid Stupid Stupid.

I ran away from you when I came back,

Not wanting to face your pain.

Yet you looked at me with only kindness,

You were the Light.

Regulus stared at her as she laughed with Avery in the dark hall. He had always thought of himself as Darkness, but Hermione was nothing if not light. She glowed no matter where she went. She stood for everything he wanted to be but couldn't

And Now I feel so happy at last,

I have family and friends and home,

The monsters have all been vanquished,

And it was all thanks to her.

The Light.

Regulus stares at his new godson. Pan. A tiny chubby boy with Avery's black hair and Hermione's glowing brown eyes. He loved those eyes. As he stared, he felt love for this boy. Pan wouldn't grow up in a time of war. He would have a normal childhood, away from the monsters.
