Noreen was upstairs in her room. Curled up on her side laying in bed, she was contemplating what she was going to do with Vincent. She was happy when he was around for the most part, and was happy when he wasn't around. On the other hand, there was Regulus, who had stayed by her through most of everything. The only problem was that she wasn't happy

Regulus opened the door a crack to view the guest before swinging the panel wide with an arm shrouded by the full sleeve of one of his new school robes.

"It is good to see you, Noreen. Would you like to step in?"

[noreen_dev]

Stepping in, Noreen had a weak smile on her face. As she saw, Regulus just standing there she wanted to through her arms around his neck, though she restrained herself.

"I hope you don't mind that I came by."

[regulus_a_b]

"Of course I don't mind."

The young Black stepped back to let the Slytherin girl pass, his foot movements quick and economical.

[noreen_dev]

Sighing lightly as she walked past, Noreen was starting to feel it was a mistake being there. With weak smile, she kissed the boy's cheek softly and pulled away.

"How are you?"

[regulus_a_b]

"I'm fair enough, what about you?"

Regulus closed the aperture behind her with a light push of his splayed fingers before checking belatedly for his parents - and failing to discover them.

[noreen_dev]

"Alright."

Noreen couldn't help but feel awkward. As she stared at the ground between them, Noreen sighed softly.

"Is there somewhere we can speak?"

[regulus_a_b]

"Shall we make our way up to my room, then?"

Black led his companion upward in moderate silence, his hands clasped at the small of his back. Not a sound could be heard in the vicinity aside from the noises of their movement and normal breathing.

Following him up the stairs, thoughts ran through Noreen's mind. She noted the fact that Regulus was acting just as he had when they left school, not entirely affectionate. The way he used to be towards her. Standing upon the landing, she look at him, a small frown upon her lips tied with a sigh.

"What has changed?" She couldn't wait till they reached his room, for she had been longing to ask him for some time.

[regulus_a_b]

Noting the expression upon Noreen's face, Regulus pulled her close and let his lips brush her's in a manner much akin to the movement of wind.

"Change is what we are."

The answer was not clearly evasive as he looked into her face, gaze direct.

[noreen_dev]

"We are growing apart."

Her voice was soft and unhappy, despite the fact that she was in his arms. A sigh escaped her lips as she looked down at the miniscule space between them. She had no other words to speak.

[regulus_a_b]

"What are we going to do, then?"

The boy continued to hold her, rocking at a painfully slow rate from side to side on his heels.

[noreen_dev]

Her head soon laid on Regulus'shoulder, eyes shut she knew it meant that is was probably over.

"I should go." Noreen said softly, not really wanting to.

[regulus_a_b]

"I don't think you should, Noreen."

Regulus' face was quite grave as he spoke, his jaw moving in a manner almost painful to view.

"I still want to be with you, to share with you."

[noreen_dev]

As he spoke, Noreen lifted her head. Looking downward, her eyes didn't look into his until his words ended. A small smile fell upon her lips. Soon enough her lips were touching Regulus'.

[regulus_a_b]

The younger Black led Noreen into his room by way of halting steps, stopping to kiss once more with warmed lips every few feet.

[noreen_dev]

Following, eyes barely opened as the two walked. Noreen was lost in his kisses, without his lips she might not know where to walk.
