Theodora's perspective

"I think I've got something." Reg said as he strolled into his and Evan's dorm room.
"Oh?" I say lazily from my strewn out position on his bed.
"Cmon, up." He laughs and pulls at my arm in an effort to move me.
"Nooo I'm tired."
"Sleep when your dead, listen to this for a minute."
"Fine." I lift myself into a sitting position and cross my legs under me and he doe same across from me.

He starts strumming on his guitar and reading the lyrics from the notebook resting on his knee.

I could see us waving in the distance
Like a mirage on sand
That could be us trading secrets
No one else could understand
I got you under my skin now
Why do you make it so hard?
Don't leave me broken and free
Won't you tell where you are?
Oh, won't you let me down, let me down
Let me down, easy
If you're gonna let me down
If you're gonna let me down
Let me down, easy
If you're gonna let me down

"That's all I've got so far, thoughts?"
"It's good."
"But?"
"No buts it's really good reg. I like the hook."
"I need help with the next verse I've got no ideas."
"Ehm... Alright. Play the chords for me again."
I start humming along a melody as he plays.

You found me lost in a day dream feelin'
I've been awake too long

"Bit autobiographical?"
"Oh shut it, I don't know I'm just tired."
"No it was good, just funny. You always write so personally, like every word is exactly how you feel."
"And you don't?"
"Sort of...I find it hard to write about myself."
"Sometimes...sometimes I make up characters in my head who are living out my life for me. It makes it easier to talk and write about."
"Huh...interesting."
"Yeah."
"Am I one of these characters in your head?" He laughs.
"Fuck off, cmon keep playing."
"Alright, alright."

He starts the verse chords again.

You found me lost in a day dream feelin'
I've been awake too long
My eyes are open

Ehmmm

My eyes are open while my heart keeps sinking,
Deeper...
Deeper til the days are gone.

"Ooh I like that!" He grins at me and scribbles the lyrics down.
"Yeah I thought you would."
"Why?"
"They're all dark and angsty."
"I'm not dark and angsty!!"
I look at him accusingly and let out a snort of laughter.
"Oh fuck you Malfoy, pot kettle black!"
"I think you'll find you're the only Black here Regulus."
"Ugh shut it okay? I was trying to be nice to you."
"Use the angst Reggie, write it down."

Doesn't mean....
Doesn't mean I couldn't believe it.
Doesn't mean I won't believe it still.

"That's a completely different melody." I point out.
"Yeah I thought it could be a bridge or a pre-chorus or something."
"Huh... Play it again"
