Meilin was the last of this set of seven. She walked on in an assured state, projecting the raw confidence of a true, rebellious teenager.
Your magic doesn't define who you are
Bruno gave her a watery smile. Whenever someone says that to him, he gets teary because he feels that he is being fully acknowledged and he'd never get tired of hearing it.
Regulus wished that the statement could apply to him except that if he didn't have his magic, then he'd be disowned from the entire Wizarding World. Yet, any talents he had, he felt that Sirius would be able to do it better. Sirius spoke perfect French, Greek, and Latin. He was more confident, had a better singing voice, and was especially better-looking. Even his magical abilities were more versatile and impressive.
For you burn bright like a star
That was something else too. Sirius was a brighter star, more recognizable and companionable. Who would want a lion as a pet? Not most people. They were more dangerous.
Easily seen from afar
Let us help you heal every scar
If only, Regulus thought wistfully. However, the scars that he has as well as Bruno, won't ever heal all the way. THey are forever and all that they can do is live with them and do the best that they can. As much as they wish that they would go away, they won't. It's a sad fact of life, but at least they make one stronger.
Meilin concluded as Regulus switched to the second set pre-choruses and choruses. Meilin followed the others example of giving Regulus physical assurance except that she squeezed his shoulder instead of placing her head on it. Again, he ignored it. However, he did accept the Solidalgo that was held out to him.
