I wonder if my parents are still--
I've been avoiding them.
I don't know what to say.

I can't believe I'm almost done with Hogwarts. This wasn't really what I expected for it. I had plans at home for what I'd do when I finished but here... I don't have the faintest clue.

Filtered to Regulus and Marlene

Hi. I uh... Are you guys still here?
Listen there's something I need to...
Oh forget it.

I know the feeling. It's still weird being here...

Mum...
The weirdest part is seeing you and dad.

Yeah it is. I've been able to distract myself with school but can't do that much longer.

I assume we're meant to find something else we enjoy doing.
I at least get to spend time with Regulus here more.

I'm still figuring it out myself.

I'd offer my assistance, but I know a lot of people aren't keen on talking to strangers.

You aren't a stranger. Or well you are, but not exactly.

My aunt Libby is usually good at helping me figure stuff out but she's not here.

I have a cousin named Libby.

I know.

Libby is technically my first cousin once removed... but it's just easier to call her Aunt. She raised me.

So.. you'd have to be the child of one of her cousins...

Who are your parents?

I'm not ready for this.

My mom was Marlene McKinnon. I want to hide now. I don't know my dad. Liar.

Because you're... gone.

You died when I was a baby. And my grandparents.

Oh.The war, I guess?
Regulus isn't going to like this..

2019-03-23 04:33 pm UTC (link)
Yeah, the war. I'd like to say your sacrifice made it safer for me... and it did for a while, but about the time Harry Potter and I started school things started happening again. Not because of me, though. I kept a low profile and hardly got noticed and no one knew who I was.

But apparently I was classmates with the Chosen One or something and that caused some waves in the wizarding world.

What year were you born?

Never really talked despite both of us being orphans.

Are you okay?

Orphans?

I know who your dad is.

Kids without parents?

Thank you for not saying it publicly.

Yeah, I know. I just didn't expect for Harry to be one too.

Does that mean you know?

It happens in times of war.

Private

Yes, I'm sorry for lying but I had to be sure it was really you and Aunt Libby always told me that telling the truth about my father would put a target on my back.

[info]secretlyyours

That's fair.

Private

So I guess I'm right, and it is Regulus?

Thankfully no one has questioned why I'm in Slytherin... though Aunt Libby was too so maybe people think she rubbed off on me.

I wish I could have been there for my daughter, but I don't know how well I would have done, especially as a single mum. And the idea of living without Reg...
