2. Waiting
He kept looking at the mirror hoping to see her again.
He stayed up the next two nights, staring at the mirror on his bedside table.
Was she James's sister he wondered? Did that prat even have a sister? Or had the Potter dolt somehow gotten a girlfriend over the summer and that was who Sirius was talking to?
He felt a stab of jealousy at the thought that she was Sirius's girlfriend.
Sirius had too many girlfriends, he doubted he would appreciate this one. Regulus thought bitterly, he should be the one rewarded a girlfriend for being the one to stay behind and brave their parents.
Everyone thought his brother was brave for leaving. He was braver for staying.
.
.
She finally appeared again, a week later. He played it cool, if a bit nasty if he was honest. But then she was probably a Potter or Sirius's girlfriend, so why should he be nice?
"Are you Potter's sister?"
"No." She narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Who are you?"
"I asked you first." He bristled, annoyed that this girl showed no deference for the mighty house of Black...and shouldn't she already know who he is? He hardly looked different from his brother but then maybe she was a bit thick.
"Listen." He tossed his thick black hair back and stared at her haughtily. "Just pass me to the dirty blood traitor, I need to talk with him."
"You're the bastard!" she snapped and shut the mirror.
His mouth opened. He was left stunned that anyone, let alone this girl, would dare to speak to him like that.
.
.
Yet she reappeared again. Almost as if she was just as bored of this summer as he was and needed a distraction. Though personally he thought he had it worse because he was stuck at Grimmauld Place.
"Oh you again?" he said casually, as if he wasn't waiting day and night to see her again.
"Who did you think it would be? The mirror can only talk to the one that holds the other piece."
"Yes." He sneered. "So why don't you pass it to my brother now."
She laughed. "I have little idea who your brother is."
He paused and quipped, "Try black hair, silver eyes and answers to the name stupid?"
She cringed. "You don't mean yourself do you? Because I have to say even I wouldn't wish your parents to name you 'Stupid'."
Regulus growled. "Not me. My brother. He has the same hair and eyes as me. So just pass the mirror to him. I know you're all holed up there with Potter!"
She raised a skeptical brow. "What's your brother's name?"
"Sirius."
"I hope that's a common name."
"No, it isn't. Only the Blacks have it," he informed her with not the least pride of his great family.
Hermione turned red, her pretty face marred by a frown. "I hope this is not your idea of a sick joke. Because I tell you if I ever find you, I will hex you, you little twerp!"
She disappeared from sight and he was left wondering what he said wrong.
Did she hate the Blacks or something?

A/N: Thanks, and does anybody want to see more of Hermione's POV? It's been mostly Regulus's POV so far but if anyone wants to see more of Hermione just ask! Also just so you know, Hermione doesn't realize who he is at this point and then she think's he's some jerk playing a trick on her.
Also I love Ezra Miller as Regulus but I'm open to other actors as well, if you think someone else is better at Reg :)
