Regulus's POV

You'll never forget the moment when you realized that you were gay. You spent a whole hour trying to slice your arms open. You then proceeded to cry in the shower for you don't know how long because the severing charm wouldn't go deep enough.

You'll never forget the moment you got foolish enough to confide in your brother. Did you really think that somebody who shut you out since you were eleven would embrace the fact that you prefered the company of men. It was to be expected when he rolled his eyes and coldly replied "I thought you were the good little pureblood- Slytherin Black"

Then he called you a bloody freak and slammed the door in your face.

The only other person in your family who knows is your couson Andromeda. You weren't sure how she knew, she just did. She always was inquisitive like that. She just walked into your room, sat down on yoir bed, and quietly asked you if you were gay. You tried avoiding the answer, to change the subject, but she looked you straight in the eye and said "Regulus, are you gay? Yes, or no?"

The next thing you knew, you had broken down completely. Tears were flowing out your face like somebody had performed a waterworks charm on you. You were begging her not to tell your Mum and Dad or anybody else and apologizing for the fact that you were a freak.

"I don't know what's wrong with me, I really don't!" You sobbed.

However, instead of getting up and marching out after calling you a wierdo,ike you expected, she pulled you into a hug that could stifle the fire of a dragon's breath. You spent the rest of the night crying in her arms like you did when you were a child, with her stroking your hair and muttering "It's ok, baby" every now and then.
