Running.
“Cissa, I just – I can’t help but love him, and I know I shouldn’t because he is a muggleborn, but he treats me like I’m worth something, and I just..” Regulus trailed off, Narcissa had a sad smile on her face, “Regulus, go.” His eyebrows shot up, “What? Cissa I can’t leave you here for salazars sake!” Narcissa smiled at him, “Regulus, it is so annoyingly obvious you are in love with this muggleborn, I also know you were planning to leave. I saw the plan for you and him to stay in Alphards cottage that you inherited.” She says. “Come with me,” Regulus says, her eyes widen, “Regulus – you have to understand I’m married, it simply won’t work.” She says, “Narcissa, I see the way you look at Amelia Bones. Plus we could be free forever!” Narcissa shook her head, it couldn’t work.
“Narcissa, you wouldn’t be stuck with Malfoy, please, please come!”Narcissa took this into account, could she actually leave? For good? She sighed before nodding. “Let me pack my things into my trunk,” she says, Regulus grinned at her, he went outside and brought the trunk that was waiting outside for him in. Narcissa began backing clothes and jewellery, she packed her books and journals before stopping, “How will we get to this cottage of yours?” She asked, “Floo, since its a gala no-one will expect it. You ready?” He asked. She hesitatingly nodded, was this a good idea? She picked up the trunk which had “Toujours Pur,” embroidered into it, she then looked at Regulus who smile at her, “Lets go, we must be quiet as possible,” he explains, she nodded. He slowly walks out the room, Narcissa on his tail, he had his stoic mask on, though his stomach was flipping at the thought of seeing his lovely hufflepuff boyfriend, he never realised, how similar him and Andromeda were.
They began to walk down the creaky stairs as slow as they could, it was now hitting Narcissa she was going to be free, truly free. They were at the bottom of the stairs now and could hear the annoyingly loud music from the Yule Gala, being hosted at Cygnus and Druella’s Household. They walked into the living room, which had no-one in it. Regulus looked at her, “You can go first, just say Black Cottage.” She nodded, she took a handful of floo power and stepped into the fire. “Black cottage,” Just then green flames erupted and she was in a living room, it was a cosy looking living room, though it wasn’t really a living room, was it? It was like one big room but all things were spaced out but it still was so homey, she saw the stairs to go upstairs, she heard a woosh and turned to see her younger cousin, who was grinning.
“We did it Cissa, we got out” He says to her, she smiles softly, “we did get out, didn’t we?” She asks, Regulus nods, “KAI, WE’VE ARRIVED!” Shouted Regulus, Narcissa flinched and he shot her a apologetic look, they could hear someone rushing down a boy with ginger hair that was mid-length with emerald green eyes came down, his eyes lit up when he saw regulus, he rushed over to hug him, Regulus pecked him on the lips before turning to Narcissa, who was smiling knowingly. “Love, this is my cousin Narcissa,” he says, Kai smiles warmly at her “It’s nice to meet you, Narcissa. I hope you enjoy your time here!” He says. “Thank you, Kai,” she nods at him, “Cissa we have a bedroom set up for you; it’s the one covered with green and emerald, feel free to go unpack,” Regulus says, Narcissa nods before walking off, Regulus sits on the couch, Kai sits on the floor, “Im glad you’re out that shite hole, Reggie,”
Kai says. Regulus smiles at him, “So am I. Narcissa and I were just lucky it was the annual Yule Gala or we probably would’ve been screwed,” Kai looks at Regulus fondly, and simply wondered how he had gotten so lucky? How had he gotten such a nice boyfriend? Who helps house elves and first years? He didn’t know how, but he was glad. “Have you ate yet?” Kai asked, he knee he probably hadn’t but, oh well.
“I actually have!” He says proudly, Kai laughed, “Do you reckon your ma’s searching the place for you yet?” Regulus smile faltered a bit, and Kai mentally smacked himself. “Probably screeching all over the place to be entirely frank; that is what she does best,” he nods along, before getting off the floor and kissing Regulus on the head, “Is Narcissa..well a blood supremacist?” Kai asked, he wanted to feel safe in his own home. “I think she was like me; didn’t really believe it, though its implanted in her brain.” Kai nodded, “We’ll help her; like I helped you!” Regulus nodded, “I think we should maybe – just maybe sleep for now, its half past midnight,” his eyes darted to the clock, “how in Helga hufflepuffs cock is it half-past twelve..” he says in shock, before shaking his head, “Yea we probably should go to bed now. Its only a week till we’re back.”
Regulus groaned, “ugehmmm, we should have more time,” he mumbled, he got up and dragged himself to the stairs, Kai trailing after him. “Good night Cissa!” He called, he heard a muffled ‘Good night!’ He went to the end of the hall and opened the door, he headed straight to the pyjama’s on the bed and began to change, he didn’t know why he was suddenly so tired, but he was. He finished changing after brushing his teeth and crawling into bed. Kai then crawled in next to him, he scooted over to kai and laid his head on Kai’s shoulder, Kai began to play with his hair; making him even more tired then he originally was, he started to feel his eyes getting heavy and slowly shut them.
Oh, how he loved Kai.
“Good night, mon étolie.” Kai Murmured
NARCISSA:
Narcissa stayed tossing in her bed, she had actually left the house of black, hadn’t she? That was an idiotic idea, she has to get back, but what if they figure out she knows Regulus is gone? She would never ever want to put the boy she raised as her own in danger, although, what if they get put im danger anyway? Thoughts and possibilities began to run in her head, till she got to one; they cant find you here, Narcissa. And that was true; Alphard had been disowned, no-one would expect the ‘golden’ children of the house of black to go to their dead uncles place, would they?
She relaxed at that last thought, maybe she wouldn’t have to return to her parents, or Lucius Malfoy for that matter; he was a decent husband, but he was at least 7 years older and for the 3 years she was married, she felt like nothing but a housewife, whoch annoyed her greatly; she wasn’t quidditch captain and head girl to be a fucking housewife for Merlin’s sake; it wasn’t like being a houswife was bad, but she just had to be active. Another problem was, she didn’t necessarily like men in that way, she was a lesbian who was in an affair.
Her affair was with none other than Auror Amelia Bones, the woman was one of the only people she was living for, despite Regulus of course. Amelia made her feel things Lucius never could, she knew Amelia would (hopefully) be happy about it, she looked at the clock that was on the opposite wall and it read 2:45, how on earth did it get so late so quickly? She sighed before turning over to her side.
She then closed her eyes and hoped for a non nightmare filled sleep.
