Entering the Common Room, Noreen was trying to figure out why she was agreeing to speak with Regulus. She brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes as she saw the younger of the Black boys sitting upon.

Sighing deeply as she started over towards the couch, she took a seat on the opposite end. Looking away from him for a moment towards a small first year scurring across the room, she turned back towards him and smiled weakly unsure of what to say.

Regulus shifted his thin rear on the furniture and turned to face Devitt wordlessly.

Smirking, Noreen opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. Looking down at the ground she tried again. "Since I am supposed to be talking, it would be rather helping if I had a starting point." Her sarcastic tone never failing her.

"Well, I want to apologize for dismissing you last time."

"You couldn't just write me a note or send me an owl?" She looked at him with a quizzical stare. "But what do you want to know from me?

"What do you want, as a person?"

"Well...I suppose.... I guess I want what anyone would want." Noreen was trying to avoid answering the question.

After a fixed moment, Regulus slid closer to her, stopping just before the bridge made my the overstuffed middle cushion peaking up in the centre of the sofa.

"Sabrina told me that I had misjudged you. Was she right?"

Looking away, Noreen spoken solemnly. "It all depends on the context."

"That was unexpected."

He smiled, a little nervous.

"Regulus, I told you everything last time we talked. There isn't much more. I don't know what else I can say. Mostly because whatever I do say you twist."She bit her bottom lip. "I don't know what you want."

Black sighed, his chest rising and falling softly beneath the fabric of his robes.

"I want to do, well- I don't know. At times I have needs I don't satisfy, and at others I can't really see what I have that I'm fulfilling."

Smiling weakly, Noreen laid a hand on Regulus' thigh. She looked down at the ground.

"It is sort of hard to find one's place in this school. I mean everyone is clambering to be on top. But no one stops and asks themselves what they really want."

Noreen shook her head quickly the laughed quietly. "Regulus, I know you don't want to believe it, but you weren't only just some screw."

"I wasn't?"

"Well, no. I know you think you were. I am sorry I gave you that impression. But you have to admit one thing without getting mad at me. we were never together. I did care though."

Her hand squeezed lightly on his thigh at the last few words.

Regulus actually blushed at her touch, but kept his composure.

"Do you still care, Noreen?"
