Just fluff between Pandora and Regulus. *Sigh* AI made this, why didn't I stop saying it? I have no idea, don't ask me.

--------------------------------------------------------

In the dimly lit library of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Regulus Black sat hunched over a thick tome, his attention divided between the pages before him and the soft flickering of candlelight casting dancing shadows on the walls. He had sought refuge here, amidst the rows of dusty shelves and forgotten knowledge, seeking solace from the tumultuous thoughts swirling in his mind.

As he traced the lines of text with his fingertips, his thoughts drifted to James Potter, the charismatic Gryffindor who had captured his attention in ways he couldn't fully comprehend. They had met by chance in the corridors of Hogwarts, their interactions marked by a blend of curiosity and tension that left Regulus feeling both exhilarated and unnerved.

It was during one such encounter that James had confessed his feelings, his words hanging in the air like a fragile promise waiting to be fulfilled. Regulus had been caught off guard, his heart racing with a mixture of fear and longing as James leaned in and pressed his lips to Regulus's in a gentle kiss.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still as they lost themselves in the sweetness of the moment, their hearts beating as one. But as they pulled away, Regulus found himself grappling with a myriad of conflicting emotions, unsure of what to make of this newfound connection with James.

As he sat in the library, lost in thought, a familiar voice broke through the silence, drawing him out of his reverie. "Regulus," came the soft voice of Pandora Rosier, his closest friend and confidante. "Are you alright?"

Regulus looked up, his eyes meeting Pandora's with a mixture of gratitude and uncertainty. "I'm fine, Pandora," he replied, forcing a smile despite the turmoil churning within him. "Just lost in thought, that's all."

But Pandora saw through the facade, her keen intuition cutting through the layers of pretense. "Is it James?" she asked gently, her eyes searching his for answers.

Regulus hesitated, unsure of how to articulate the swirling emotions threatening to consume him. "I don't know what to do, Pandora," he confessed, his voice barely above a whisper. "I never expected to feel this way about him, but now... I can't seem to shake it."

Pandora nodded, her expression one of understanding and empathy. "Love has a way of sneaking up on us when we least expect it," she said softly, reaching out to squeeze Regulus's hand in a gesture of solidarity. "But you don't have to figure it all out right now. Just take things one step at a time, and trust that everything will fall into place in its own time."

Regulus took a deep breath, the weight of Pandora's words sinking in as he allowed himself to relax into her comforting presence. "Thank you, Pandora," he whispered, a sense of calm washing over him in the wake of her reassurance. "I needed to hear that."

And as they sat together in the library, bathed in the soft glow of candlelight, Regulus knew that he didn't have to face his feelings alone. With Pandora by his side, he felt ready to embrace whatever the future held, knowing that love had a way of guiding them through even the darkest of shadows.
