It is said they in your last moments of life you see all the rights and wrongs you ever did but for Regulus black he decided his life wasn't worth seeing so instead all he saw where his happiest moments.
As he closes his eyes the inferni clawing at his arms face and legs the only faces he saw were James Potter, Sirius black and Pandora Lovegood.
first came the memory of him and pandora sat under a weeping willow its beautiful branches blokn some of his vision.panda was braiding her white blonde hair with flowers,small wild ones like buttercups her feet dipped into the small brooke they had ran away to.it burbled as it ran past clear like a mirror that lead to an alternate reality where they could have many days like this instead of worring aout the bruing war haning in the horizen.gently a breeze swayed the long grass and panda looked up enjoying the sunlightt that broke through the canopy.she said something but all her words we muffled as if she was underwater.reg leened back resting his head in her lap . she smiled down at him curling her hand through his hair.her smile melted every thing bad out of this world.he wanted to bottle it and hold i close to his chest for the rest of his life not matter how short.plucking up some flowers she started making a flower crown weaving all the flowers expertly into a spiral.
he had said something but he couldn't remember what.shed laughed and placed the flower crown on his head with the tenderness of a mother with her child.later he'd taken of the crown and kept it for ever in his chest of draws taking it out to remember the light his best friend had brought.when he had left the sky clouded over telling him he would never see her again telling him of his mistakes.
next came the memory of him and his brother sirius. it was the night sirius had left although he knew he had condemed himself to a life with no escape as his families hier. As a faceless death eater. A monster with no feelings.A stain in his brothers perfect life. That night he'd been forced to listen to siriuses screams as they tore through the hollow halls of the black manor.The screams caused by the person who was supposed to love them unconditalally. his broken sobs echoed through his bedroom absorbed by the charms around his room,Regulus has cried the whole night hearing the suffering his stupid yet brave brother had to go through.After, he had listened at his mothers door for her to retair to bed, intent on resquing his older brother
once he was sure no one was awake regulus silently crept down stairs and found his brother spread eagal on the hallway floor.Regulues breath quickned he couldn't tell if sirius was unconsius or dead.he would kill him if it was the latter.grabbing the wand that was dropped haphazerdly on the floor next to his brother.hooking his arms under siriuses sholder regulus dragged him over to the fire place. taking one last look at the brother that had looked after him his whole life. he through the floo powder into the fire placer and yelled"potter manor"
next came the memory of him and james potter in the astronomy tower curled up ontop of a blanket james had bought from his dorm.James was running his hand through regs soft black hair.every time he stopped reggie made a small grumbling noise in the back of his throat and james would instantly go back to petting him,laughing at his boyfriends antics.Reaching up reg fixed jameses glasses that per usuall were sat crooked on his nose contrasting with his deep brown skin...
the memory faded to black as regulus sunk deeper and deeper dragged down by clawed hands.he relesed his final breath
