It was one of the few places that wouldn’t turn you in if you were proven to be a Death Eater. They would treat you and send you on your way. They had the policy of wanting to help people regardless of their circumstances. It was a policy before the war started and the Death Eaters began to rise, and it had continued. If someone needed help, they would be helped.
And today was one of those days he needed help. After having got in a fight with some Aurors, Severus managed to escape. Three on one were terrible odds, but he held his own until he could escape. Currently he was nursing a deep gash in his calf. Apparating while injured and bleeding was never a good idea and so he had cauterized the wound with a fire spell in order to apparate away. And it hurt like a b!tch.
Stumbling in, the nurses saw him and quickly got him onto a stretcher and began to bring him back to a room so they could remove his stopgap measures and heal his leg up, and hopefully not have permanent damage.

I don't want you to be alone. Being alone with emotions is the worst.” He repeated her own words back at her. There was so much that was going through his head right now and he didn’t want to burn the bridge to her – not yet at least. He wanted to be able to have that choice. “I don’t think Remus was right about you. I – I think I understand the situation you were put in. I told you what I thought it was like before and talking with him just… told me I was right about a lot of things. He refused to tell me that he would treat you right, he said he was using you, but I know he was wrong. We didn’t make any promises. You didn’t break your word to me.”
He pursed his lips and clenched his jaw for a moment and then sighed, shaking his head. “There’s one thing that keeps bothering me. Why did you never mention me to him? He said he asked you several times if there was someone else, if there was a friend to contact or… something. Why didn’t you tell him about me?”

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He narrowed his eyes. There were so many things going through his head right now, and it was all a lot to deal with. There were so many theories circling around his head. He walked over to the door and reached out for her hand. “Then we’ll talk now.” He sat at a nearby seat and gestured to the one next to him, before quickly covering his face for several moments. Calm down. Calm down. You could be right next to a spy. You screwed this all up, and you can’t fix it. So, you might as well see what can be done.
“I won’t lie and say that this isn’t a complete shitstorm. I won’t lie and say that I’m not wary of you right now. I won’t lie and say I’m not hurt. But I also know… I watched you while we were at school, I would like to say I know you enough to know you didn’t mean for this to turn out like this. Please… give me… a week before you disappear. So, I can sort out my feelings and – come to terms with what just happened. Give me a chance. Please.”

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Everything was going so fast, Regulus had left – Rose was right there, and he didn’t understand why Regulus wouldn’t just answer his questions. That’s all he wanted, but he knew he breached the subject badly. He started this all out like an idiot. Was this what he wanted? He was pretty sure he didn’t want this. Even if this left Rose open for him to swoop in and take, he wasn’t sure he could trust her either. And he just lost his best friend, someone who he had known for years, but now they were going to be essentially strangers. He didn’t want to be alone. He didn’t want to be alone, but how could he trust that she would not betray him as she had Regulus? In a way, she betrayed him too, by not ever mentioning him to Regulus. By not telling him there was something there. By not thinking about him at any point during the last three weeks when he couldn’t be there. By saying to Regulus that he was the only one when that wasn’t true. How could he trust her?
“Wait.” He didn’t make any sort of movement, and his eyes were devoid of any sort of emotion. “Can we meet again? This is… too much for me to take in right now. I need to think about this. And if… you want to try, we would have to discuss… many things. If you’re willing… I just need to… think. Please.” He stared at her for a moment, buttoning up his sleeve that he had originally pulled up and then back down on his left arm.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] His eyes were suddenly full of rage. He was using Lily against him? However, quickly it subsided, being shoved back down with everything else. He sat, taking off the cap from the bottle, throwing his head back and drinking the liquid. “It was water.” He had been bluffing when he threatened using the potion against him. He knew well enough Veritaserum had its counters and if one knew it was coming one could resist it.
“You clearly have no idea why I called you here today. It wasn’t to break the two of you up. It wasn’t to take her for my own,” He shook his head, his dark eyes staring right at Regulus. “From my understanding, Rose and I started our own sort of relationship about a week before she started anything up with you. Before you even really knew her.” It stung – very much so that she didn’t want him to be there for her. It stung that she didn’t mention him when Regulus asked about friends, or someone to contact. It stung that she thought so little of him and yet just earlier this week she said she loved him. Kissed him, hugged him, comforted him. She was there for him, and yet she thought so little of him before, how could she have even thought that she was telling the truth. She had to have lied to him. But that’s how it always went for him, didn’t it? He fell for someone and they loved another. She was leading him on.
He set his wand to the side, refusing to look into his mind. One, he was scared that all this was true, and that he had been played completely. If he had been played, couldn’t Regulus have been played as well? But he doubted it. “Rose and I met at the Three Broomsticks, where I had my first mission, which the Dark Lord assigned to me himself. She assisted me in my mission and we ended up… sleeping together. We came to the understanding that we would be there for each other, to comfort one another when one needed it. However, after that I was forced to go to America on another mission which would help keep the Americans out of this war as they would have to deal with things with their own people. That trip took a while, seeing as I was unable to use magical means, as per the Dark Lord’s orders. There needed to be no record of my trip, else the MACUSA would realize it was us who had started things there.”
He took in an even breath, his voice not wavering, not conveying any sort of emotion, other than the occasional twinge of anger. His stomach was doing turns, he felt sick. This whole situation was screwed up, and he wasn’t sure exactly how to solve it. But he had an idea of what could solve this completely, and it was him stepping away from the two of them forever. The selfish part of him was cursing him for such a thing. “Earlier this week, after my return from America, I called her to me, and she came. She never offered up your relationship without being prompted to do so. After bringing her to my place, I asked what had happened while I had been gone, seeing as she looked very well cared for. She told me about your relationship and I attempted to walk out on everything. Leave her alone forever, let her be with you. But she insisted and followed me. She told me she loved me. I opened my heart up to her. And then she started telling me about your relationship.”
He took a drink of his water, as this was quite a bit of talking and he was trying to continue to stay completely neutral about all of it. He looked at his reflection in the glass. “Red flag after another, she told me a bit about your relationship and I became worried. I expressed those worries and then we agreed to meet here so I could get the full story. Why she isn’t here yet, eludes me. She was afraid to ask you herself, saying you were ‘particular’ about things like this. You made her afraid to even ask you to meet her here yourself.”
Pulling his sleeve down he soon templed his fingers in front of him, looking deep in thought. It was as if she had been waiting for him during that mission. Yet the Dark Lord and Regulus planned this before then? Could this all be a ploy to see how they would react? Paranoia ran rampant in his mind. “I wanted to see if you would treat her right, and the first words out of your mouth were how you were using her. Because you were my friend, I was going to give you a chance to explain yourself.”
“No matter how much I hate Potter, I know he would provide for Lily anything she needed. I was able to see them together, and no matter how much it sickened me, she was happy. I could see the look in his eyes when he looked at her.” He spat out those last words, hating every second of it. But he was being honest about it, even though he hated Potter and his stupid little friends. He hated their idiotic little laughs when they’d turn him upside down, when they’d bully him. When they would attack him without provocation. But regardless of his shitty personality, he treated her right. And that was what he cared most about. She was happy and treated right. “The Dark Lord has no place in this discussion. I would rather you not continually bring him up. I am not questioning your loyalty to him. I am questioning your loyalty to Rose.”
Perhaps it wasn’t the Dark Lord who planned it out. Maybe Rose had planned this out with Dumbledore – to try to manipulate them into joining him instead. There were so many different possibilities. “I want to know if she will be treated right. I want to know that you won’t control everything she does. I want to know she won’t be dependent on you or your money. I want to know that she won’t be trapped. I want to know that you love her. If you do that, I will leave this room and you will never hear from me again – neither will she. I will wish you luck and go on with my life. All I want from this is for her to be happy. What would you do if your parents attempt to force you to marry another pureblood? What would you do if the Dark Lord ordered you to kill her? I want to know you will protect her with your life. I want to know your loyalty and love for her transcends all other responsibilities and loyalties to others.”

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He crossed his arms. Suddenly he was being yelled and Severus blinked several times. How did he figure it out so fast? He pursed his lips, but he showed no outward sign of being shaken. Required? He narrowed his eyes. Taking a bite of his sandwich he remained completely calm and casual. When he finally spoke, he gave Regulus a small smile and shook his head.
“You don’t seem to understand me, Regulus. I would betray the Dark Lord in a heartbeat if he threatened those I love. But I know I’m of more use to him than killing one of them would be to the war effort, so he would accept it, and spare their lives if they were originally in danger. I have confidence in the Dark Lord to respect my feelings as we’re all fighting for the same goal: a world where we can be free.”
Honestly, he was wondering if this was really the truth – was Regulus this cruel? This cowardly? He never expected to look upon his friend with such disgust right now. He stood up and pulled out his wand, then pulling up his sleeve to reveal the dark mark. “I’ll cut this off right now. My entire arm if I have to.” He was always one for theatrics and bringing things to an extreme. “I only need one arm to fight against anyone who were to try to come for me. I will fight and kill you if you’re really using her like you say you are. You should’ve seen how she talked about you. It made my stomach turn. She’s really in love with you and you’re using her? How fucking dare you.”
His face turned into a grimace, his voice turning low and into a growl. “I will kill you where you stand for doing this to someone I love. Now are you going to tell me the truth, or will I have to force it out of you? I did get my hands on a very useful potion.” He returned his wand to his right sleeve, the mark still showing on his left arm, pulling out a clear bottle with his right from his blazer. “I would hate to have to use it on you, Regulus. You are my friend.”

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He pinched the bridge of his nose in a very familiar way – Rose would recognize it was something Remus would do fairly often. Not that Severus was aiming for that. “I’m just – I know, you should be suspicious of me as well. Perhaps I just want you to break it off with him and be with me instead. That’s a possibility and so you should consider it while considering what I’m saying as well.”
He bit his lower lip and looked down at his lap, a depressive, sad sort of look appearing. “I really… don’t think you could ever be happy with me. I just want to make sure you’re happy and – and you don’t end up like me or my mother. I fucked it up with every girl I cared for, you included. I don’t want you to end up trapped in a corner without realizing how you got there.”
“It’s a good sign he hasn’t asked you about something like that. But it is early. Regulus is a patient person. Even still, you shouldn’t feel guilty because your father fucked you up into thinking negatively.” Running a hand down his face and sighed and stood up. “It’s just something to think about. Yeah? If he loves you, shouldn’t he shout to the world he does? Or maybe he cares more about staying in the Dark Lord’s good graces, or cares more about his family. Both of which I know you could never ask him to do as it could put him in danger, but if he wants this to be long term, he’ll have to admit it eventually, unless you’re fine with just being a side girl while his parents force him to marry someone else to continue the line.” He started walking away towards the door, intent on leaving.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He sucked in a breath and looked away. “I’m just playing devil’s advocate, but… No. Not necessarily. Yes, he’s doing things, but… my paranoid idiotic mind tells me there could be something more. We’re Slytherins, we’re cunning, and sometimes we use underhanded methods to get what we want. There could be something you could give him, that he wants. Perhaps a hand in with the werewolves. Perhaps a beauty to have on his arm. Perhaps someone to have fun with and fuck while he’s going through the stresses of school. There’s a lot of different possibilities. What he’s done says he wants you, but not what for.”
He placed a hand on his chin. “If he did something completely and totally selfless, then the possibilities are whittled down quite a bit. Well, the dangerous ones. Hide your scars, then you’d look more presentable to him, that wouldn’t work. Risking his life perhaps. Telling his parents about you. Both are possibilities. Telling the Dark Lord about his relationship with you. All I know, is that this is… very possibly a manipulation. He’s my friend and I don’t want to think of him like that, but I also know him. Has he made any… serious request of you? Something that is a huge leap or feels like it’s out of nowhere?”

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He pursed his lips as he watched her as she talked. He completely understood what she was getting at – and honestly that was something he was afraid of as well. At the same time, he wondered if her feelings were clouding her judgement – there were so many things that could go wrong. There were so many things that he wanted to talk about, but it would be useless without Regulus here. He looked off for a moment, mulling over her words, thinking about everything she was saying.
“You aren’t. But I can see why… you might think that. He’s given you so much. It’s… only natural to wonder if he thinks bad of you. All your life you’ve been beaten down by people who say you’re worthless, who say you’re evil or soulless. People don’t change overnight. He should understand that. I’m sure it hurt him… to hear that you were worried about that, but that’s also one of his… things. I’ve known him for a long time, Rose. He’s caring, but anxious. He wants to be more than his family. More than his family’s money. Regardless, when it comes to things like this… one needs to be understanding and talk it out instead of fighting.”
Severus took in a deep breath. “I can’t say too much about it, as this is exactly how Lily and I grew apart. We didn’t talk in depth about our feelings and what the other was doing, and how they felt about the things they were doing. Things like that. I don’t want this to end like it did with Lily and me. You can have a temper and fight from time to time, especially since you barely know each other in reality – given its only three weeks into the relationship. You barely know me, but I know you from observation, how you acted around others – and I have a few connections that told me about your father.”
Severus ran a hand down his face, taking a drink of his drink that was recently refilled. “Time apart is a good thing, especially if you’ve been together every day pretty much. Everyone needs a life outside of their romantic entanglement. Friends, family, hobbies. A life. If he can’t… assuage your doubts when you have them, then he isn’t the one.” He pursed his lips as he said it and looked away. “At least that is how I would feel, if I was in your position.”

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Severus really hoped that Reg wouldn’t tell her to stay away. Severus wanted them to be together – not him and Rose because he knew he was not enough. He wasn’t good enough for anyone. He was just a soldier, a tool to be wielded. No matter how much he fought against it.
“I know – you didn’t betray me at all. It wasn’t fair to put you in this position. I should’ve just… either stopped it to begin with, or – or told you what I was feeling, even if it might not have stayed that way. It wasn’t fair to leave you hanging.” He sighed and looked out the window and then back at her. “I hope we can figure this all out, so I’m not… sitting here wondering, worrying. Like I said before, I’m also worried about you with him – I don’t want you to be in a relationship that will turn sour at some point.”
He wondered if his perception on this was him being overprotective, jealous, or actually rational. He wasn’t sure which it was. He really hoped it was a rational fear and he wasn’t shaking things up just because he’s an idiot in love, who had no idea what he’s doing. He didn’t want to lose his friendship with Reg either.

“I – I need help.” Just saying that sounded like something gross. He spat the words out as if it were peanuts to someone who would die if they ate peanuts. He quickly covered his have, his fingers reaching his hair and threading through it. There was so much he needed to talk to Regulus about, but since Rose wasn’t here yet, he could get out what he wanted to get out in private first.
“I think I’ve fallen in love with someone who isn’t Lily Evans.” His heart was pumping in his chest, feeling very anxious about admitting this. Especially since his friend would soon realize who he was talking about – at least when Rose showed up at least it would seem obvious – or so he thought. “But the girl I fell for is already with someone. You see, we started up a relationship – where I insisted, we wouldn’t let feelings get in the way, but they obviously grew inside of me. She’s even said she loves me back.” So far it didn’t sound like a problem, but he wanted to make sure Regulus got the full story without reveal exactly what he was talking about.
“The problem is: she also fell in love with someone else. She’s dating him. And I know the guy, he’s a good guy. But from what I’ve heard from her, there’s some serious problems with the relationship that needs to be discussed. So, she said she’d talk to him about them. I want her to be happy, but – but I can’t help but want her for myself. What should I do, Reg?”

When he leaned away, he tilted his head and sighed. “This is just a shitstorm. We’ll fix it when we talk on Saturday all together. To be fair, every time I hear you talk about him, I feel so… jealous. My face practically turns green. I don’t want to… make you pick, because I know you would never pick me. But…”
He shook his head and folded his hands in front of him. “I can’t help but wish you’d pick me.” He looked down at his lap. “But like I said, I know you would never. I had my chance and passed it up. I don’t know how any of this works, but… I’m sorry. I’m sorry for fucking all this shit up.”

It’s my fault things are like this. If I just… said it was okay to try before – then maybe this wouldn’t have happened.” He sighed, his thumb reaching up to wipe a tear from her eye.
“It’s alright. You can’t choose who you love. It just happens that you love two people. To be perfectly fair, it was wrong of me to just… think that if I gave myself time to sort through my feelings you’d still be there, waiting for me. I’m the idiot. I’m the terrible person.”
He looked down. He knew for awhile that he liked her. He knew for awhile that he wanted to try something with her – Lily was a dead end unless somehow, they came to terms with how different they were. He was just holding onto something he was sure would never happen, and now that caused this whole mess to happen.
