Pairing: Regulus/Marlene
Prompt: "Where were you?"
Challenge: HPFC Drabble Tag.
Regulus sits alone at the Slytherin table, watching her with him. His brother.
All he can think is, that used to be me.
She left him, when he needed her most; she wasn't there.
She was with him.
Where were you?
Regulus stands by the lake, looking down at the brand that scars his arm.
They graduated, her and him. Together, along with their bloodtraitor and Mudblood friends.
He needs her, to remind him of the light. To remind him that he isn't cruel, or evil, or insane.
But she left him.
Where were you?
Regulus observes the basin full of poison that stands in the cave.
He needs someone to tell him he's doing the right thing. To reassure him that this will be worth it.
That would have been her job.
But she's not here.
Where were you?
Regulus drinks the poison.
He drinks the water.
The hands come out, dragging him down, down, down.
All he can think is,
Where were you?
So what did you think? Please review!
