A/N: Second to last chapter! I am so sad, I don't want this fiction to end but it must, otherwise it will just go on forever and I won't get to use the ending I want to. This will be the last real Author Note so I just want to take a second to tell you all that I plan to keep writing fictions, I think I may start a Sirius/Remus Fiction because I like that pairing as well (Poor Remus, I match him up with everbody :P). Anyways this chapter makes me feel sorry for Regulus, and I have gone back to the Regulus point of view. But I will stop my mindless chatter, and let you read on.

Chapter 8

On one of the nights that Regulus didn't spend with Remus, Regulus was sitting alone in the Common Room reading when Bellatrix came up to him again. Regulus decided to just try to ignore her then maybe she would go away on her own, but when she stabbed him with her unnaturally long nails making him look up from the book he was reading.

'What do you want?' Regulus snapped.

'You've been reading some weird books lately, The Full Moon?' Bellatrix asked holding up a book with a werewolf on it.

'It's for Defence Against the Dark Arts, I have to write an essay, now what do you want?' Regulus said grabbing the book back.

'Just wondering when you are going to get the mark.' She said making sure that her forearm was visible.

Regulus sighed and looked up at the ceiling, praying for it to fall down on his head. 'I don't plan to.'

'You have to though.' Bellatrix said. 'We've been over this a million times, if you don't then you are going to be the first family to die, a non-supporting pureblood family is unheard of. We've talked about this.'

'And I keep telling you I don't care.' Regulus said about to get up but Bellatrix held him back.

'What has gotten into you? Staying out entire nights, barely talking, and you are less Slytherin and Black then usual. If I didn't know better I'd say you where turning into Sirius.'

'I'm not turning into Sirius.' Regulus said trying to free his arm that she was holding, but she only dug her nails in deeper.

'What is it then? Have you found yourself a girlfriend finally?' Bellatrix asked smiling.

'Maybe, why should it matter to you?' Regulus decided to stop trying to free himself and just wait till she finished torturing him with questions.

Bellatrix smiled and let out a laugh. 'You idiot, who is it then? Tell your nice cousin, Bella.'

'No one from Slytherin.' Regulus decided to say, some times Slytherins dated outside their houses, mostly to Ravenclaws.

'What? But she is a pureblood right?' Bellatrix asked as she stopped smiling.

'Maybe, I can't say.' This was true though, because Regulus had never thought to ask Remus what type of blood he was.

Bellatrix glared at him. 'Well I'll say this; if you don't join the Death Eaters soon then your precious little girl will be the first one to go.'

'And how would he know who it is if I won't even tell you?'

'He is can read minds, he knew that I was related to you and personally asked me to get you to join.' She announced as if she was had been made Queen of the world.

Regulus laughed. 'And I'm supposed to believe that?'

'You don't believe me? You know they had a hard time making Maxins join too, but they killed his mother and father, even his owl, now he is a full supporter.' Bellatrix said before leaving Regulus alone to think.

It was true that Maxins' parents had been killed by some nut case that called himself the Dark Lord, and that Maxins was now a Death Eater, but he was always a weird one. That night wasn't the last time Regulus got approached to be recruited by the other students. Bellatrix talked to him whenever she could, and the rest of his friends, Lucius, Mary, and sometimes even students he didn't know all came up to him asking when he was going to join. They all seemed to determine to get the last true Black son to become a Death Eater. But Regulus didn't pay much attention to the matter until a grown man approached him at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade.

Regulus had stopped at the Three Broomsticks to pick up some butterbeers that he was taking to Remus at the Shrieking Shack, when a man in a dark cloak came up to him. Regulus didn't notice him at first, and when he did he thought he was just going to order something. But the man put his hand over Regulus's mouth and dragged him outside behind the pub. There the man took off the hood and Regulus stopped struggling, for staring back at him was Fenrir Greyback.

'You're the Black boy right?' He growled.

Regulus nodded his head.

'Good, make a sound for help and I will rip your throat out, is that clear?' Fenrir said looking at his throat.

Regulus nodded and Fenrir took his hand away from Regulus's mouth.

'Now, the Dark Lord asked me to have a word with you.' Fenrir said looking at Regulus still as if he was a meal. 'I'm not allowed to hurt you so you can put that at ease, at least not yet. You see the Dark Lord wishes to have the last of the pure Black family in his little…let's call it a club. He says that if you decline then I will get to kill all your friends, including this lady friend you have, and your family too.'

Regulus didn't say anything, he had never been this terrified in his life.

Fenrir continued when it was clear Regulus wasn't going to say anything. 'Now, you don't have to answer right away, he says to give you a while, but if by next hogsmeade trip you haven't made up your mind, then he will take that as a declined offer.'

Just then footsteps could be heard and that brought some sense back to Regulus's mind. 'What…what about Sirius?'

Fenrir made a growling noise that could be taken for a laugh. 'The Dark Lord said you might mention him, that is your brother right? Well he says for you not to worry, he will die, but you hate him anyways according to your lovely cousin. Now I must leave, but I will be back here when your little school has their next Hogsmeade visit, so don't think you are getting away from me, because I will find you.'

With that Fenrir pulled his hood back on and left. Regulus slid against the wall and fell to the ground. He put his head in his hands and felt tears come to his eyes. It was obvious now that this whole Dark Lord thing was real, and they would really hurt him.

What am I going to do? Regulus thought desperately as tears crawled down his face. This is all Bellatrix's fault, she is the only person I told that I had a girlfriend. Speaking of lovers, what about Remus, is he in danger? What am I going to do?

Regulus wanted to yell, scream, and cry but he couldn't do any of those things. He stood up and wiped off the tears from his face when he heard a voice call his name.

'Regulus? Are you out here?' It was Remus.

'Remus?' Regulus asked spinning towards the side of the building.

'What are you doing here?' Remus asked walking towards Regulus.

Regulus didn't answer but instead took Remus into his arms and held him tight. He let the tears fall from his eyes and onto Remus's shoulders but he didn't make a single sound. Remus kept asking him if he was all right, but Regulus just pretended he couldn't hear him and held Remus in his arms for what seemed like forever, not wanting to let go. Finally Remus drew away from Regulus just enough so he could see his face.

'You've been crying? What's wrong?' Remus asked wiping Regulus's face with his sleeve.

Regulus looked at Remus and decided what to do. 'I love you.' Was all Regulus said, before he turned around and ran off. Regulus headed back to the castle and straight to the common room that was almost deserted except for Bellatrix and the plump red head who where sitting on the couch talking. Regulus walked over to Bellatrix and grabbed her by the wrist.

'Who did you tell?' Regulus demanded her, so loud that she couldn't say anything for a couple minutes.

Bellatrix finally managed to mutter a response. 'What?'

'He knew, he god damn knew everything, that I had a lover, he knew that I had a brother who was a blood traitor, he knew everything!' Regulus said tightening his grasp on Bellatrix's shoulders.

'I only told the Dark Lord.' She muttered her eyes were wide with shock.

'You bitch!' Regulus roared and threw her to the floor before taking off to the Room of Requirement.

Regulus stayed there until finally he heard footsteps go by outside. Regulus got up and went to the door to listen. The footsteps stopped and then something fell to the ground. It was only when he heard some crying that he opened the door to see Remus on sitting against the wall beside the door, with his face buried in his hands. Regulus walked out and picked up Remus, who didn't say anything, Regulus then brought Remus inside, closed the door with his foot before sitting down on the coach with Remus in his lap.

Remus just clung to his sweater letting the last of his tears fall down not saying anything. 'Why won't you tell me?' He finally asked looking up at Regulus. 'Why won't you tell me what is happening?'

Regulus stroked Remus's hair and just looked at his lover for a second. 'I have to leave, I have to leave and never come back.' Regulus whispered.

'What?' Remus asked pushing Regulus's hand away.

'They are going to come for me; I have to go to them before they come to me and hurt you. I will even have to wipe my memory.' Regulus said in a soft voice.

Remus didn't say anything, so Regulus pushed Remus gently off his lap and stood up.
