Hi, you can't just say all that about rarepairs and just not link the fic. Fleur/Sirius sounds so interesting! I never even thought of them in the same room let alone as a romantic couple. Now thinking about them makes me want to think about them more. Thank you for this new experience inam experiencing!! 😭😭😭
Lollll sorry!! 😅
the design of flaws by julestales is Sirius/Fleur. It is honestly one of my favorite smut fics I’ve ever read.
to be of use is the sequel and it’s Sirius/Fleur/Remus…which worked for me. And y’all know I’m not big into WS, so… 👀
But yeahhhhhh. It never would have occurred to me. But. I love it.

Let me just say it, jkr is brilliant at writing friendships and individual characters but absolute shit at writing romance. None of the main ships were well written, the side ones were much better, though probably because we don't have enough info for them to be ruined
Ships I like :
Bill and Fleur - 💯💯💯 second best ship in the books imo
Molly and Arthur - for some reason the fandom hates this ship. U need to be a solid team to pull off a family of 7 kids ( especially with 6 boys). They also clearly love each other, they even call each other cute nicknames. What's not to like?
Dumbledore and Grindelwald - this is going to bring me hate, but they're my fav couple in the whole series. I don't need a couple to be morally good to appreciate the pairing. Probably the only well written one because they're both fleshed out as characters. Their relationship only makes them more complex and interesting than they already are.
Ships I dislike :
Harry and Ginny - The protagonist's love story was a disappointment. Ginny could have been such an interesting character, instead she was made into the boring 'perfect girl tm' just to become Harry's 'ideal partner'. She's basically made into a female version of james without his flaws being called out. Harry's 'chest monster' was cringe asf, sounded like something tht could hv been picked out of Twilight 😂😂
Ron and Hermione - i like the idea of them, but i don't think it was executed well. That bird attack practically made its appeal non existent for me ( i love Hermione but wtf)
James and Lily - we know a lot about James's character but very little about lily despite the fact that they're both dead before the series starts. James hexing Snape behind Lily's back doesn't set a good precedent, seeing as they get married the very next yr. Lily almost smiling at Snape's underpants being exposed is never addressed when Harry's being critical about james. To me it honestly feels lyk shipping james with a ghost as we know nothing substantial about lily.
PS: I also really appreciate the fact that Sirius was never paired up with anyone. He was far too broken and rebellious and traumatized. He had different priorities and I m so glad his character wasn't forced into one. Single characters for the win, they're such a rarity in fiction

Do you think Molly ever grows to like any of her duaghters-in-law?
Yes!
Fleur
After the war, everyone is grieving for their losses
Molly especially is hurting from losing Fred, it’s bringing up memories of her younger brothers, who she never took the time to fully grieve for
Percy is back home after leaving the Ministry, Charlie is home for the summer, Ginny is home before her finally year of school, Harry is staying with them as he’s part of the family (and none of the Weasleys will allow him to leave), Ron and Hermione are in Australia, and George can barely get out of his childhood bedroom
Bill and Fleur come around often together, but Fleur comes around more on her own
She’s keeping the house functioning while Molly is grieving, doing all the things no one thinks about
Charlie helps her with the chickens and Percy is taking care of the vegetable patch and Harry keeps the gnomes out of the garden
Ginny helps a little in the kitchen, but Fleur/Charlie/Percy are doing most of the cooking
Fleur and Ginny are starting to build a relationship over shared glasses of wine and stories of their childhoods
Charlie and Percy get to actually know their new sister in this time and build a friendship
(Percy and Fleur grow close this summer despite Bill’s annoyance)
At the end of August, around Percy’s birthday, they have a big party, a sort of celebration of the end of the summer and also Percy coming back to the family and the joke shop reopening under Percy’s care, Ron and Hermione coming home, and also Ginny’s seventeenth birthday too
Molly can’t believe that someone put this all together, and she asks Charlie about it as he’s closest to her when she steps out the door
“Fleur thought that we had so much to celebrate that we should throw a party.”
That was when Molly knew that she liked Fleur, she respected her after Greyback attacked Bill and Fleur told her she would still marry him, but she knew that she liked Fleur after this moment
A month later Fleur finds out she’s pregnant, and Molly can’t help but be excited to be a grandmother.
Angelina
Angelina falls back into George’s life about a year after the war.
The summer of ‘99 Lee and Alicia get married (as they’re pregnant but also because they’re original plans got ruined by the war 😅)
George is Best Man and Angelina is the Maid of Honor
They also have been in love since the first moment they saw each other on the train to Hogwarts at 11
Did Molly always know that Angelina was going to be part of the family? No! But did she see the way her son’s eyes lite up every time Angelina walked into a room? Absolutely she did!!
After Lee and Alicia’s wedding, George and Angelina are made Godparents to baby Maria Jordan!
They also just can’t force themselves to be away from each other, both of them are miserable, but at least they have each other
Angelina gets pregnant and George buys her a house
They lose their daughter, but then decide it’s time to do things properly
They get married and right before the ceremony, Molly and Arthur invite her to be part of the family
Molly had taken Angelina in under her wing a little after they lost their daughter Beth, but she doesn’t hide it after this
Angelina lost her own mama when she was eighteen, so having Molly to turn to is a great relief
Angelina is the DIL that Molly is closest too out of all of them
Hermione
Molly had known Hermione since she was a little girl, but Hermione is more anxious knowing Molly as Ron’s girlfriend than Ron and Ginny’s friend
Molly had always liked Hermione, but she thinks that she pushes everyone to hard in her life
Hermione of course just thinks that Ron needs more motivation
After the summer in Australia with Ron, Hermione goes back to Hogwarts and Ron never writes her
They have a bit of a disconnect in their relationship and it hurts both of them so much
They love each other, neither of them can deny it, but there is so much longing and wanting that it’s hard for them to even express it to themselves let alone each other
When Hermione comes back from Hogwarts she moves in with Ron and Harry into their tiny flat and there is a definite shift in the trio’s relationship
They mend it over the summer, and Hermione is working in mending her relationship with her parents too
One night Molly invites over just Ron and Hermione for dinner and asks them what their plans are for their relationship
Ron tells her what he wants out of it, love and marriage and children
Hermione bolts to orchards, she saw their relationship move that way eventually, but hearing it out loud is frightening
Molly follows her and tells her that Ron was always like that
Hermione understands, but it’s scary to think about, she didn’t realize how onboard she needed to be
Molly tells Hermione about her first date with Arthur and how up and down that had been
And suddenly Molly knows that nothing will stop Ron and Hermione from making their way down the aisle in a few years
But she does have doubts of them having four kids, which she ends up being right about
Audrey
Audrey just sort of falls into Percy’s life
He asked her out hoping that she would say yes, mostly being goaded into it by Angelina
Audrey said yes and then proceeded to be 2 hours late to their first date, Percy knew he was going to marry her right then and there
A month into the relationship, Percy bought an engagement ring for Audrey, Molly had just met her the week before
Audrey takes the time to be pleasant to everyone she meets, she takes the time to share what she needs to about herself, but more than anything, she takes the time to listen
Molly saw the change in Percy before really anyone else, and she also saw a change in Audrey too upon their second meeting
Audrey lost her twin brother in the Battle of Hogwarts and her parents were killed by Death Eaters coming after her and her brothers
She and Percy go through so many ups and downs in their relationship, and thirteen months after they meet, they elope
Molly is upset that her son didn’t want her at his wedding, but she knows that Audrey’s parents weren’t there either
She’s also upset to find out they got married because they were pregnant, but she excited to be a grandmother again
(Victoire is her only grandchild, Fleur lost a little boy two years before and Angelina lost Beth almost four years before)
Audrey turns to Molly a lot with questions about her pregnancy, she has no one else really to turn too other than Angelina and Fleur
(Both who she’s still building relationships with)
Molly sees how scared Audrey is and helps her in anyway she can, and when Audrey loses their little boy, Molly makes sure to check up on her that whole winter
That next winter, Audrey gives Molly her first ever Weasley sweater
Bonus - Harry
Molly is the first one to find out that Harry and Ginny are back together
She catches them snogging out in the chicken coop when they were supposed to be helping her out
It’s during their first Christmas after the war, and Molly is barely holding herself together
She has a bit of a go at both of them, and then pulls Harry into her arms later and tells him how happy she is for the pair of them
Harry and Ginny go through some struggles the summer after Ginny leaves Hogwarts, they tried to live together but it just doesn’t work out, Ginny just isn’t ready for it yet
Molly always welcomes Harry back home though when he comes to visit Ginny, even if she doesn’t quite like them both going up to Ginny’s bedroom at night
Harry moves out of the flat he shares with Ron after he starts making enough gold to live on by himself, he moves into his grandparents old cottage in Godric’s Hallow
He drags Ginny along, and they both thrive with the space and lack of space 😉
Harry had proposed the summer before, but they tell the family on Ginny’s birthday
Ginny’s brothers are all impressed, even more so when Ginny tells them that she doesn’t plan on getting married right away
Molly is the first one to know about James Sirius, Ginny tells her the morning of their wedding
Molly keeps it a secret, but she can tell that her daughter and SIL are so excited to be married that nothing will get in their way
Harry is nervous to be a father, but Molly reassures him that he’ll be wonderful at it, Arthur had the same fearful look in his eyes too after Bill was born
Harry thanks her and let’s her hold her first grandson for the first time

Oh wait Fleur/Sirius and Lupin/Fleur for the ship ask thing (I think I’m onto something for the first one)
do you know what, anon, i think you are onto something here...
sirius black/fleur delacour
because i guess it's time to declare myself - as of all of thirty-five seconds ago - a flack [or, maybe, blackcour - half black-core, half black-coeur, stunning] truther.
i think there's a touch of "all these scars show is zat my husband is brave" about sirius - a tendency to fight and endure even through physical ruin which fleur canonically likes in a person, while fleur must have a daring streak which often seems to be absent from her fanon characterisation [you don't enter the triwizard tournament unless you're a bit of a thrill seeker] which aligns very well with sirius' own [as does fleur's canonical arrogance - sirius probably thinks molly's cooking is dry too, they could bond over it].
i am genuinely and sincerely into this, and i'd like to see some fics immediately.
fleur delacour/remus lupin
flupin, on the other hand? flopping. fleur may be rude, but she is at least straightforward - if she doesn't like something, she's going to make sure everyone knows about it.
lupin's passive-aggression - especially when combined with his tedious self-loathing - is going to drive her round the bend. and my good copine doesn't deserve that.

Victoire Gabrielle Weasley Facts
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media

why argue abt who teddy lupins parents are when he can just have a million gay parents?

@hprecfest Day 8 - a Canon divergent fic
1. In Bocca Al Lupo by morpholomeg
Stunning character study of Hermione through Hermione-as-a-werewolf story.
Summary:
When Remus came back to himself, he was in the middle of the Forbidden Forest, naked, shivering with pain and with cold, and he could taste blood.
“I don’t have the full story,” said Madam Pomfrey. “You’ll have to speak to Minerva or Albus for that. But Black has escaped, and - Remus, I am so sorry. You bit Hermione Granger.”
or: a story of innocence, experience, and prejudice, spanning the summer holidays after Prisoner of Azkaban.
2. The Squib by nargles 15
Horrific and dystopian post war world - with sharp commentary on canon's attitude towards Muggles.
Summary:
The muggles began to wonder why. Why their nation was so dark. Why their daughters died. Why their minister did nothing. Why fog stalked their land for years. Until they learned.
What happens when magic isn't might.
3. Settle our bones by anonymous
Sirius & Harry. Background wolfstar.
The cathartic Sirius returns from the dead fic we all need. I am unashamed to say I cried at the end of this.
Summary:
For his eighteenth birthday, Harry gets a party, a cake, and his godfather back from the dead.
(Or: Sirius, Remus, and Harry try to create a family. It isn't easy.)
4. To Feed the Dying Hearth by @bluethepineapple
Fleur/Hermione.
Pain and tenderness - Blue sets us up with a domestic scene and then proceeds to excavate Hermione's raw pain post war, and how Fleur deals with it.
Summary:
The hearth is half dead, and the house goes cold and dreary no matter what heating charms they employ. Fleur works herself to the bone, and Hermione’s eyes go haunted and hollow. Their touches become heated as if trying to drive away the cold.

💞 HP Soulmates: Fated 2 Be - Week 1 Roundup 💞
Tumblr media
Can you believe it? It felt like this first week just flew by! And in case you missed any of these fantastic fics (and art!):
💞 [FIC] Phantom 💞 (T, Remus/Severus, 1.8k)
Soulmates communicate by writing on each other’s skin, Severus leaves Remus on read way too often, and the two confront a little unfinished business because (you guessed it) they’re ghosts!
💞 [FIC] Ink Stained Skin 💞 (M, Harry/Pansy, 19.8k)
Pansy Parkinson went all the way to California to hide from her past and was pleased to find her escape a rousing success. At least it had been until a freak accident involving a spilled bottle of ink erased all her progress and sent her past (or possibly her future) careening back into her path.
💞 [ART] Pour My Heart (In Places Where It Can’t Be Touched) 💞 (G, Tom/Harry and Draco/Harry, Digital Art)
Draco Malfoy’s soulmate is Harry Potter. Harry Potter’s soulmate is Tom Riddle.  Only Tom Riddle disrupts fate with his bare hands when he decides to split his soul, severing the string that links him to Harry Potter.  The prophecy takes its course – turning star-crossed lovers into enemies.
💞 [FIC] Lover’s Leap 💞 (E, Pansy/Neville, 13.5k)
The Wizarding World is small and insular—Pansy Parkinson and Neville Longbottom have known each other since they were children. But after Pansy’s Grandmother dies, a magical heirloom forces them to see each other in a new light.
💞 [FIC] The Enemy of My Enemy 💞 (T, Harry/Regulus, 33.8k)
In a world where soulmates are identified by tattoo-like marks on the body, Harry Potter was born with a constellation on his arm. For nearly seventeen years, it sits there, dormant and dark. Then, as he and Dumbledore enter the cave where they believe a Horcrux may be hidden, the stars begin to glow. The Blacks don’t go looking for their soulmates. Regulus was taught from an early age to ignore the lightning bolt on his skin and prioritize his duty to the family. But when he finds himself thrust into an unfriendly future, his soulmate may be the only person he can trust. At first glance, the two have little in common beyond their mutual desire to see Voldemort defeated. Will that be enough to bring them together?
💞 [FIC] Soulless: Blind Date 💞 (T, Sirius/Severus, 1.7k)
There were three types of soulmates: platonic, romantic, and enemy. Severus was one of the rare few without a soulmate. He was one of the soulless. Those who are shunned by society because they are seen as unable to make connections, which is a blatant lie. Or Severus has the opportunity of finding love when he goes on a blind date.
💞 [FIC] souls and marks 💞 (T, Albus/Gellert, 1.1k)
A new parlour opens near the Diagon Alley, offering to reveal the soulmarks. Everyone is, naturally, curious, and clients start coming over, while the owner, one infamous Gellert Grindelwald, watches over them.
💞 [FIC] In His Love Story 💞 (E, Luna/Theo, 12.3k)
Set in magical regency England, Lord Theodore Nott is in want of a wife, except he doesn’t believe he will find a witch he could call his soulmate… until Lady Luna Lovegood made the Queen laugh.
💞[FIC] tell me where it ends 💞 (E, Draco/Harry, 63k)
After Harry wakes from his short-lived death, he begins to see red strings tied around the fingers of everyone he sees. No one else seems to be able to see them. He is surprised to see who is (or isn’t) tied to each other.  He is tied to Draco Malfoy.  Feature: Supportive Kingsley, a twist on the 8th-year fic
💞 [ART] We are who we are 💞 (G, Fleur/Hermione, Digital Art)
Fleur and Hermione try to resist the pull they have toward each other.
💞 [FIC] The Choice 💞 (T, Fleur/Hermione, 2.7k)
When one soulmate dies, the other begins to see them in dreams. Except it’s not just a dream, is it?

Never the Same Part 8
Regulus Black AU
Story Summary  Being Bill’s twin, you were always the supportive one. Now that you are stepping outside of your role everything is changing. For your family, it’s for the worse. For Regulus and yourself, it’s for the better.
Pairings: Regulus x Reader
Rating: Mature. Doesn’t follow the book
Part 7 Link 
______
Much to Regulus’ dismay, Walburga didn’t find a new place to “haunt.” Instead, she seemed to latch her claws in even tighter. She proclaimed that she would never leave her home. Nothing that either of her sons had to say could make her do something that she wasn’t ready to.
The good part was she started avoiding everyone and only came out of the master suite if she absolutely had to. This was just fine with Regulus and Sirius. Neither brother seemed overly joyed to have to deal with their mother. It reminded you of zoo keepers having to deal with a ravenous lion. If it wasn’t for Kreacher, you had a feeling that food would be just left at her door with no indication that it mattered if she ate or not. You wouldn’t have been surprised if Regulus and Sirius were playing rock, paper, scissors to decide who would be the unfortunate one to deal with Walburga that day.
You, typically, would have felt sorry for Walburga but after seeing the state that she left Sirius and Regulus in…your “give a damn” was slightly broken. There was also the fact that as your pregnancy progressed you were feeling worse with each day.
“How are you feeling?”
You sighed at Regulus’ question. Looking up from your pillow you gave him a frustrated look.
“Awful! My back hurts. My feet hurt. I don’t think I can stretch anymore and if I don’t stop vomiting…”
Regulus winced, slightly regretting asking that question. He wasn’t even sure why he did. Regulus knew that you were feeling awful. For some reason, he kept asking how you were feeling. If you threw something at him for asking, Regulus wouldn’t be surprised. Normally, you were perfectly sweet and patient but as the pregnancy was progressing… your patience was failing you.
“So…the same?”
Regulus added. You only stared at him. Regulus gave you an innocent shrug. You knew that he was probably as tired of you being pregnant as you were of actually being pregnant. He was too good of a man to say it, however.
“I am never doing this again. I used to want a big family but now I am thinking my parents are mental.”
Regulus chuckled as he moved to put his coat on. He was getting ready to go away for a week, which was also fueling your frustration.
“Well, lucky for you I have never had the desire to have a house full of children.”
You groaned.
“Good, because this is a one-and-done shot. I might possibly jump off of a building if I have to do this again.”
Regulus chuckled before kneeling down beside you. He gently pushed some of your hair away from your face and leaned down to kiss you.
“You can’t jump off of a building and leave me alone with all of these people. You’re the only one keeping me sane. Never mind the fact, that I know absolutely nothing about babies. What if I forgot ours somewhere?”
Regulus was relieved when you giggled.
“You wouldn’t forget them anywhere.”
Regulus blinked a few times.
“My mum and dad forgot me at a funeral parlor once.”
Your mouth dropped. Why this surprised you, you didn’t know. If Regulus told you that his father had forgotten his son’s name it wouldn’t have been entirely shocking. Orion Black seemed to be more of a conversational piece than a father and husband.
“Please tell me that you are joking.”
Regulus shook his head as his face darkened a bit. It was really no wonder that he turned out the way that he did. With his parent’s version of “love” it was a bloody miracle that he was able to talk to you in the first place…let alone be in a healthy relationship.
“Dead serious. I was alone with a corpse for like four hours until Sirius realized that I was gone. It was a lovely experience for a five-year-old to go through.”
You put a hand over your face. If you needed yet another reason to dislike your mother and father-in-law, you had one.
“That’s horrible! Regulus, you would never do something like that to your own child. You are a lot more self-aware than your parents apparently were. Why don’t you just sit this job out? Sirius can go for you.”
Regulus leaned down to kiss you again. He hadn’t told you the exact nature of this job. Something was going down at Hogwarts and The Order needed to get there fast. Regulus watched your face for a moment. He wanted to enjoy each moment looking at you…in case something happened. While Regulus didn’t plan on dying if something happened…he just wanted to enjoy the moment.
“It's already planned with me going. Sirius is going too. If you need me, Kreacher will be able to get to me quickly.”
You wanted to be selfish and tell Sirius to pack an overnight bag. He wasn’t the one expecting twins at any given moment. Regulus was. You had accepted the fact that the twins would probably come early. If Regulus was gone while you were in labor, you would personally throw the biggest tantrum on him that you could muster.
You also weren’t the least bit happy about being stuck in the house alone with Walburga. There were many other tasks that you would be doing versus being stuck in the house with your mother-in-law.
“Fine…if you have to…It seems like all of you are going. Is there something that you aren’t telling me, Regulus Black?
You asked as Regulus moved to stand up. He gave you an innocent look, praying that you would buy it. The last thing that Regulus wanted was to tell you exactly what you were missing out on. Regulus knew that if he told you where he was going you would demand to go. The further away you were from Hogwarts the safer you would be.
“Everything will be just fine. I promise.”
Regulus replied. He knew it was a lie. It was a bold-faced lie and he never should have done it but he did.
“Alright then. Please be careful. It's only a matter of weeks before the twins come and…I can’t do it without you.”
Regulus leaned down to kiss you once more.
“I’ll be back before you know it.”
Sirius stepped into the doorway to see if Regulus was ever coming along. He hadn’t said it but he was amazed at the turnaround Regulus made personally. What had been a moody sullen arrogant teenager had turned into the world’s best husband. You were the one thing that Regulus cared for the most in the world.
“Ready?”
Sirius questioned. Regulus’ grey eyes flickered to his brother before looking back to you once more. Putting a hand on the side of your face, Regulus forced a smile and again prayed that you were believing the bullshit that he was offering.
“See you soon.”
Sirius waited until the front door shut before turning to face his brother.
“You haven’t told her exactly what is going on at Hogwarts, have you?”
Regulus shook his head.
“No, she doesn’t need to know. I need to focus on the task at hand. I won’t be able to do that if she's running around fighting too. One of us will get killed and it will probably be me. Y/n is safe here with mother.”
Sirius muttered “fuck me” under his breath. If he knew anything, it would be the fact that you would be furious for not only missing what would be the biggest battle known to Wizardkind but the fact that Regulus lied. Sure, his brother’s intentions were good. No one’s pregnant wife needed to be putting herself on the line like that she needed to know.
“Reg, she’s going to be pissed.”
Regulus again glanced over his shoulder making sure that you weren’t anywhere nearby.
“Pissed or not, she and our children will be alive. She’ll forgive me soon enough. Now let's go and stop talking about this.”
The two walked in silence until Sirius started chuckling. Regulus’ eyes rolled over to his older brother with a scowl.
“What?”
He questioned. Sirius finally got a grip on himself before speaking.
“I would be pissed if you left me with Walburga. The old hag will probably be having Y/n help her organize her obituary scrapbook.”
Regulus rolled his eyes. The last thing that he wanted was to think about his mother. While Regulus really didn’t want to kill Walburga himself it was beginning to look like that was a decent option. The woman was making everyone’s lives miserable.
“When we get back, we need to make a plan to get rid of the old bitch. If we don’t, she will haunt us until she dies again…that is too long away for my liking.”
(several hours later)
You sat in a near haze listening to Walburga rattle on and on about her dead relatives. While Regulus and Sirius made no effort to hide their contempt for their mother (a prime example was Sirius purposely stepping on every crack in the sidewalk to “break his mother’s back.”) you were trying your best to be somewhat decent to her. It was getting harder as your pregnancy progressed. Your patience was thin and listening to this old bitch be nothing but rude to both of her sons was wearing on you.
“And that’s how Aunt Estrella died…Y/n are you listening to me?”
You blinked a few times to pull yourself from your trance.
“Yes…I am.”
Walburga shook her head.
“If you are going to lie to me at least make it about something good. Your eyes have been glazed over for the past half an hour. So, without my son hovering over you like an overprotective mother hen, I can talk to you properly now. What are your plans for the twins? It has to be getting near time for them to be born. I do hope that Regulus and yourself have made plans for a good nanny.”
You had to stop yourself from laughing at the expression on Regulus’ face when you told him that Walburga compared him to a mother hen.
“Actually, no. We haven’t made any plans for a nanny because they are our kids and we can take care of them ourselves.”
Walburga looked totally baffled by that comment. She had never once been without a nanny at least until Regulus was 7. If she had to take care of her children all on her own, it would have been a major inconvenience that Walburga just couldn’t phantom.
“But what about when both of you are tired…or when Regulus is working?”
You leaned back in your chair.
“My mother made it just fine. That’s with a lot more children than two running around. Besides, my mum will be willing to help me. Believe it or not, Regulus and I look forward to taking care of our children."
“Children should be seen and not heard.”
You moved to stand up as Sirius walked in. His disheveled appearance quickly caught your attention. You didn’t give Walburga a second thought before muttering, “I’ll have to get back to you on that” and going to your brother-in-law.
As you approached him, you realized that his eye had a massive cut under it and his nose had been bleeding. Panic surged through you as you realized Regulus wasn’t in the room.
“Sirius! Are you…Regulus? Where is he?”
Sirius attempted to fix his now-destroyed hair. He wanted to make a joke that it would take ages to make it look right again but your expression told him that you wouldn’t appreciate it like normal. The terrified expression on your face told Sirius that you were NOT in the mood for any of his humor at the moment.
“He’s fine! I swear! Regulus sent me. I need you to come with me and try not to panic…I would say to keep an open mind but there is no way to prepare you for what you are about to see.”
You felt your mouth drop at Sirius’ words. Telling you not to panic worked as well as stabbing you and saying “Ah, you’ll be alright…just ignore the bleeding.”
“Sirius…”
Before you could even finish the sentence, Sirius apparated both of you to what was left of Hogwarts. Your mouth dropped even further the moment that you saw the castle that you loved so much nearly destroyed. Looking around, all you could see was sheer carnage. Bloody students and other various adults were wandering around looking totally lost.
The moment that Regulus walked out of what was the great hall, you all but ran to him.
“Regulus!”
You had nearly knocked him down before Regulus could even get a word out. All that mattered to you was the fact that he was alive.
“Y/n…”
He started but you cut him off as you started looking him over in a state of panic. His clothes were dusty and torn in a few places. Thankfully, he appeared to not have much physical damage other than a bruised cheek and busted bottom lip.
“Regulus, what the hell?!”
“Y/n, I’m fine. Everything is going to be…”
You cut him off yet again.
“If you say fine, I am going to slug you! Nothing about this looks fine! I thought that you said this was a small job. Are you seeing the same shit that I am!”
Regulus reached out and cupped your cheeks.
“Y/n, I am okay. He’s gone… Voldemort is gone.”
“Harry! Oh, Merlin, is Harry…”
“He’s fine! He’s okay. I didn’t tell you because, given your condition, there was no way in hell that I was about to let you come here and be potentially hurt. I had to keep you and the babies safe.”
You looked around as a nearby wall partially collapsed. Turning back to Regulus, you mentally tried to ignore the screaming in your head that today could have very well been the day that you lost the man that you loved. Yes, the dark lord was dead but the good side clearly had a ton of losses too.
“What if you had died? How do you think that I would have felt knowing that I never got to see you again? What about our children…Regulus, I am…”
Regulus pulled you back into another kiss silencing any further words. You slipped one hand onto Regulus’ cheek before sliding to the back of his head and tangled in his curls. Neither Regulus nor yourself seemed in any hurry to let go of the other.
Regulus pulled away after a moment but didn’t move too far away from you.
“Because I knew you would panic…I’m alive, here and with you…that’s all that matters.”
You kissed him again as Regulus placed one hand on your stomach.”
“You really are the most stubborn man that I have ever met. If I didn’t love you so much I really would punch you in the face.”
Regulus chuckled as his eyes went to Arthur Weasley. He sighed immediately. Regulus knew what he had to tell you and he didn’t want to. He didn’t want to ruin the intimacy of this moment and break your heart but he had to.
“Y/n, I do need to talk to you about one thing though. Not everyone made it. We nearly lost Tonks and Remus.”
You stepped back as your eyes widened. In all of the chaos, you realized that you had yet to see any members of your family.
“My parents? Brothers? Ginny?”
You quickly asked. Regulus’ face darkened as he rubbed a hand over his face.
“They’re fine…everyone except Fred…darling, he didn’t make it.”
Regulus’ words felt like a bullet to your heart. Fred was gone. Everything in your heart came to a screeching halt as you looked around.
“Where are they?”
“In the great hall.”
Regulus replied softly. You took a few deep breaths before turning and running into the great hall. Regulus remained motionless for a moment before turning and going after you. This was the part that he dreaded. Regulus could deal with the fighting and chaos but the aftermath was something that he was not emotionally ready for. He would have to attend the funerals. See the loss in his friend’s eyes as they realized the ones that they cared the most for weren’t coming back.
When he stepped into the great hall, you were kneeling down beside George and Molly. Regulus had to look away. He couldn’t bear to see the look of sheer heartbreak on your face. It was bad enough when the Weasleys realized that Fred was dead, to begin with. Now here you were, the one human that he loved the most in the world, having to face the reality that your little brother was gone and nothing could be done about it. He would have to stand by and watch as you went through some of the darkest days and he wasn’t able to protect you…for once he could do absolutely nothing.
You, meanwhile, sat staring down at Fred’s face. His eyes were closed making him look as if he was only sleeping. Part of you wondered if he would suddenly sit up and say “Got you!” You prayed that would happen. For once, you wanted nothing more than for Fred and George to be playing one of their pranks…but you knew that wasn’t the case. The heartbroken look on George’s face, as he sobbed in Arthur’s arms, told you that this was no joke.
Even though you had your own heartbreak to deal with, you knew that George was experiencing devastation worse. Fred was George’s other half…the other half to the puzzle…now he was gone. You slowly looked up at Bill. Your own twin stood holding his wife but his eye was locked on your face. Without even speaking, you knew that the two of you were thinking the same thing. Neither of you would know how to make it without the other. Bill was the other half of your soul. He was the one who came into the world with you. While the two of you still had each other…George was not missing his other half.
In the noise and chaos, you could only think one thought…
Nothing will ever be the same again
