sad beautiful tragic • regulus black

posh

like dumbledore had said, he arrived in the afternoon with regulus black.

"regulus, this is kiara lune." dumbledore introduced, watching regulus carefully.

"pleasure to meet you." regulus said, trying his best to smile.

kiara couldn't help but notice just how posh the boy sounded, so she decided it could be fun to fuck with him for a little bit.

"bonjour, regulus. bienvenue en france." kiara said, giving him a fake smile.

"heureux d'être ici. la france est vraiment belle." regulus said, and to kiara's dismay, not messing up a single word.

"you know french?" kiara said, her expression dropped the moment the first word had come out of his mouth.

"i became fluent when i was thirteen, it's truly a beautiful language." regulus said, smiling at his new host.

kingsley held his laugh in, knowing how much kiara likes to talk bad about people right in front of them in french, and knowing she can't do it to the slytherin.

"right." kiara said, pursing her lips.

"ignore kie, she's in a bad mood. i'll show you your room." kingsley said, patting kiara's shoulder as he spoke about her.

kiara mumbled incoherent french as she pried his hand off of her, clearly annoyed with the situation.

kiara loved her quiet time and she hated that some snobby british dude was about to interrupt it for who knows how long.

"for someone with a british mother, you don't seem very fond of us." dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling as he watched her carefully.

"posh. i don't like posh." kiara said, keeping her gaze away from dumbledore as she spoke. to be honest, she kind of feared the older man.

dumbledore nodded, humming in agreement as kingsley came back downstairs.

"he's unpacking now." kingsley said.

"mr. black will not be a danger to you but we have taken his wand for the time being." dumbledore said, focusing back on kiara.

"right." kiara said, nodding as she listened to the two men.

"be careful, kie. envoyez-moi un message si quelque chose se passe." kingsley said, urgency in his eyes as he spoke french.

"bien sûr, toujours." kiara said, giving her cousin a faint smile as they apparated back to london.

kiara stood still for a moment, still watching the spot her cousin just was. she felt overwhelmed. she went to one meeting and now she has a stranger in her house.

"regulus, we need to talk." kiara called out, unsure on what exactly she would say to the boy staying with her.

"yes?" regulus said, walking back down the stairs.

"i didn't think this far ahead." kiara said, staring blankly at the death eater.

to her surprise, regulus snickered. "it's the french in you."

"tu n'as pas dit ça comme ça, putain. ce n'est pas parce qu'on est britannique qu'on est intelligent." kiara snapped, her hands waving around as she yelled.

"i was joking, kiara." regulus said, clearly unaffected by all her yelling.

"whatever." kiara grumbled, anxiously twirling one of her curls with her finger.

regulus stood straight, his own curls slightly swooping over his forehead as he stared at the witch. "you're a veela." he said, raising an eyebrow.

"how did you? only part." kiara said, looking at him in confusion, it really wasn't obvious she was a veela. being only quarter veela from her grandmother on her fathers side, she had to focus extra hard to make her charm work. and she certainly wasn't using that charm on him.

"i studied veelas all through my fifth year. every year i had an obsession with some new subject, that year was veelas." regulus said, clearly excited as he got to talk about his time at hogwarts. "the blonde highlights in your hair are too blonde. you have spots on your arms that are white, and it shines very brightly. quarter veela, i assume." he continued to explain, each statement causing kiara's jaw to drop lower and lower.

"you're insane." kiara stated, in absolute shock. she stared harder at him, amazed that he could notice all of that from their minimal interaction.

"i notice things." regulus said, shrugging. "can i eat this?" he asked, pointing towards the fruit basket on her table.

"yeah, sure." kiara said, still in shock.

"thank you." he said, reaching for one of the peaches.

kiara just nodded, taking a seat across from regulus at her kitchen table.

"so, what is hogwarts like?" kiara asked, to be completely honest, she had heard stories from her mother and kingsley and had always wondered what her life would have i been like if she had attended hogwarts instead of beauxbatons.

"it's lovely, i didn't always get along with some people there, but evan made it extremely bearable." regulus said, wiping his mouth on a piece of cloth.

"who's evan?"

"my best friend." he said, a warm smile creeping onto his face. "i'm not sure where he is now, but he's the best man i have ever met."

kiara kept a mental note in her head of the name, remembering so she could ask kingsley more about him later.

"what's beauxbatons like?" regulus asked.

"it's beautiful. i'm very lucky i got to attend such a lovely school." kiara said, a faint smile on her own face as she thought of all her friends at the french school. "it does suck, however, that we're seen as the dumbest wizarding school, simply because we're pretty. almost everyone there is so smart, but they're only seen for their looks."

"i know what you mean. my brother, the school slut, was only seen as just another pretty boy. i don't think anyone understood that he was truly a genius." regulus said, his eyes on the fruit in front of him as he talked about his older brother.

"sirius? i've met him." kiara said, not majorly impressed with the gryffindor she had met.

regulus glanced up at her, realizing it must have been through the order. "you don't seem very pleased to have met him."

"he kept staring at my tits. he's a tool." kiara said, irritated with the older black brother.

"yes, he is." regulus agreed.

kiara tilted her head as she looked at the death eater in her home, part of her unsure on why he was being so kind.

"i thought you would be rude." she blurted out.

he couldn't help but snicker at her words. "i may be a terrible person, but i was raised with manners."
