Regulus had come back into eighth year as if he’d never known you. Perseus did too. Perseus was quieter whilst Regulus was sharper, angrier, much more cruel than he previously was yet there was this tension… Like he was currently hating himself with every sharp word he’d say, it was like he wasn’t really there. Around the other Slytherin’s it was as if he was outcasted yet accepted at the same time. No one who knew about their world spoke about it. It was never to be spoken about. The things that Regulus had gone through that summer had shaped him. It wasn’t just about begging for his life. The dark lord made sure he’d suffer through that summer as punishment. And you? You just don’t fit into his life anymore.
