Regulus hasn’t cried like this in so long he forgot how much it hurt to feel like you can’t breath like someone has taken your lungs and crushed them he can’t help but be thankful for Pandora being here
“It’s going to be okay” “will it? It feels like my heart has been crushed”
“I know Reggie but it’ll be okay if not now then later”
“It hurts Dora it’s hurts so much I trusted him, I loved him”
“He loved you too”
“Did he? Or did he love The things I gave him the parts of myself I’ll never get back”
“I’ll be here for you I’ll stay if no one else will”
“Can you die from a broken heart Dora?”
“Oh Reggie, my dear you can but not here not now not with me here”
And again he can’t help but be thankful that above all he got this wonderful woman to be friends with him in first year That he somehow Bumped into someone and ended up with a sister
He can believe her above all Dora, His sister would never lie to him never him like he would never her he can’t help but ask
“What do I do now?” They don’t talk about the way he’s clinging onto her like she’s the only reason he hasn’t turned around and climbed out of the astronomy tower window
“You survive, you survive and you keep surviving until we can finally live”
“I wish I hadn’t hoped so much for a happy ending”
“Maybe it’s not about the happy ending but the story”
And he can’t help but smile because even after dumb boys he’ll always have Dora hell always have his sister
