In what way?
Sirius POV
I looked at Regulus' lying body on the floor. What did she do?
"In what way"
"What do you mean"?
"In what where you punished"?
The silence was dreadful. James was trying to wake Regulus up. Remus was gone. I was waiting for an answer.
"The library".
"What"?
"That's how I was punished. The library. They locked me in it for hours. I felt like I was going insane. I probably was".
I stuttered at the words of the crying woman that was standing in front of me. I was sorry for her. I didn't even know. It thought she was in her room. She was probably crying for help. I didn't even know. But I could I have?
"I'm so sorry".
"Don't be. It's not your fault. It's mine".
Next thing I knew, she was running down the stairs. For a reason, it didn't feel good, so I ran after her. Half a minute later, we were outside.
"What are you doing"?
She looked back and said:
"Doing what I should have done years ago".
She continued running. She was going to the forbidden forest. Why would she do that?
