00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:22,230
Chapter 33 Second year Stranger 
Danger Friday 9th of November 

2
00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:27,270
1973 Regulars never got an 
answer by the book. 

3
00:00:27,790 --> 00:00:31,670
Siri has never mentioned it, not
even in passing, and regulars 

4
00:00:31,670 --> 00:00:34,590
never asked. 
Maybe it was still lying 

5
00:00:34,590 --> 00:00:37,550
somewhere in Griffin, the tower 
unopened and forgotten. 

6
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,000
Maybe Sirius had tossed at the 
side the moment he saw it. 

7
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,440
Regulus didn't want to know. 
It was easier to avoid Sirius 

8
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,880
altogether, to pretend he didn't
exist and to retreat to the safe

9
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,040
predictability of Slytherin 
life. 

10
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,200
And for the most part, it 
worked. 

11
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,840
Regulus successfully steered 
clear of Sirius in the halls, on

12
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,000
the Quilled Pitch, and even in 
the Great Hall. 

13
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,520
The only place he couldn't 
escape him, ironically, was the 

14
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,720
classroom. 
Slackorn, for all his charm and 

15
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,760
wit, seemed incapable of 
resisting the temptation to 

16
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,600
compare the Black brothers so 
much alike, he would say with 

17
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,680
the chuckle, his round face 
gleaming with satisfaction at 

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,160
his own observation. 
But it wasn't true, at least not

19
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,400
in Regulus's eyes. 
Sirius had a way of commanding 

20
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,120
attention with his sharp 
jawline, tousled hair, and that 

21
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,920
casual self. 
A short grin. 

22
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,960
Regulus, in contrast, not 
younger, and not only because of

23
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:39,080
his age, but softer and far more
reserved. 

24
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,800
Yet Sloughhorn couldn't or 
wouldn't see the difference, and

25
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,480
every time he got their names 
wrong, it was like a punch to 

26
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,560
the gut. 
Regulars wasn't the only one 

27
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,680
irritated by this, though. 
The second year Gryffindors in 

28
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,600
his Potions class were quick to 
remind everyone that he wasn't 

29
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,240
serious, sneering and muttering 
under the breath every time 

30
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,480
Sloughhorn's mistake happened. 
Oh excuse me, dear boy. 

31
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,240
Slogans have the jovial laugh, 
having called Regulars serious 

32
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,919
for the second time in that 
lecture. 

33
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,040
You look so much like Sluggy. 
Must be getting real old if he 

34
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,640
keeps mixing you up. 
Grumbled Peers. 

35
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,240
Regulars, Potions partner. 
The boy was leaning back in his 

36
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,120
chair, arms crossed, clearly 
uninterested in contributing to 

37
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,920
the actual work at the share 
table. 

38
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,040
Regulars rolled his eyes, 
suppressing the urge to snap. 

39
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,920
Something we can agree on. 
He muttered instead, keeping his

40
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,040
hands busy chopping the next 
ingredient. 

41
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,120
Honestly. 
Pierce continued with this mug. 

42
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,040
Sirius deserves better than 
getting mixed up with you. 

43
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,120
Regulus clenched his jaw but 
didn't look up. 

44
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,400
He wasn't about to ruin his 
carefully maintained reputation 

45
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,880
over someone like Pierce. 
His blades lies through the 

46
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,960
dragon liver with precision as 
he tried to redirect his 

47
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,440
attention to the brewing potion.
Christopher, the third member of

48
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,600
the group was unusually quiet, 
his head practically inside the 

49
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,280
quadrant as he stirred the 
mixture. 

50
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,600
Regulus noticed his movements 
were wrong, too fast, too 

51
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,560
uneven. 
Christopher, you're stirring too

52
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,000
fast. 
Regulus had sharply. 

53
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,840
The boy fledged as if Regulus 
had shouted. 

54
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,040
Sorry. 
He squeaked, halting and 

55
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,320
stirring altogether. 
Regulus sighed, the frustration 

56
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,320
bubbling up despite himself. 
It's fine, just do it slower. 

57
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,200
He said, softening his tone. 
Yes, sorry. 

58
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,520
Christopher mumbled again, his 
voice barely audible. 

59
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,440
You don't have to keep 
apologizing. 

60
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,560
Regulus replied, but the words 
came out harsher than he 

61
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,240
intended. 
Before Christopher could 

62
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,320
respond, Piers leaned forward, 
his voice cutting through the 

63
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,120
tense atmosphere. 
Oy, stop picking on him, Black. 

64
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,960
Regulus turned, his patience 
finally snapping. 

65
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,360
Are you stupid? 
I didn't. 

66
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,720
What did you call me? 
Pierce shot up from his chair, 

67
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,960
chest puffed out in mocker 
outrage. 

68
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,960
Wriggler stared at him, 
disbelief edged across his face.

69
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,200
I called you stupid because 
you're acting like it. 

70
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,040
The commotion had drawn the 
attention of the nearby tables, 

71
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,600
heads turning to watch the 
brewing conflict. 

72
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,800
Christopher shrank back, his 
hands gripping the edge of the 

73
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,760
cauldron like it was the only 
thing keeping him tethered to 

74
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,480
the earth. 
Say that again? 

75
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,520
Pierce demanded, stepping 
closer, his face red with anger.

76
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,320
Regulars rolled his eyes, but 
there was a storm brewing inside

77
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,560
him. 
You're stupid, Pierce, you've 

78
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,720
done nothing but sit there like 
a useless number for two years. 

79
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,520
The rest of us do all the work. 
Pierce's face twisted in fury 

80
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,600
and his voice rose. 
At least I'm not some sniveling 

81
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,120
little git trying to act like 
he's better than everyone else 

82
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,960
because of his precious family 
name. 

83
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,080
Regulus felt the sting of the 
words, but he didn't fledge. 

84
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,560
Funny coming from someone whose 
greatest achievement is being a 

85
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,000
second rate bully. 
The room had gone silent now, 

86
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,200
the tension thick in the air. 
Slug Horn, who had been bustling

87
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,600
about the room, finally noticed 
a brewing argument and hurried 

88
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,280
over. 
Gentlemen, what's all this 

89
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:24,200
rocket about? 
He asked, his jovial tone 

90
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,240
replaced with a mild concern. 
Pierce gestured wildly. 

91
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,840
Regulars, he's got a bloody 
attitude problem, that's what. 

92
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,200
Sloughcon frowned and turned to 
Regulars, who stood stiff and 

93
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,400
unyielding. 
Mr. Black, is this true? 

94
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,880
Regulars opened his mouth to 
protest, but Pierce cut him off.

95
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,800
He's been picking on Christopher
the whole time, Sir. 

96
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,680
It's not fair to the poor kid. 
Chris's eyes widened and panic, 

97
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:55,880
but he said nothing, looking 
down at the quadrant as if 

98
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,760
willing himself to disappear. 
That's not regulars began, but 

99
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,720
Slack Horn raised a hand to stop
him. 

100
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,320
Enough. 
The professor said firmly. 

101
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,640
Mr. Black, please focus your 
attention on the right things. 

102
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,840
You're a bright young man now, 
no need to fuss. 

103
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:18,120
Everyone back to your cauldrons.
Pierce's jaw dropped in pure 

104
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,600
anger, sneering over at Regulus.
He could feel exactly what 

105
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,120
Pierce was going to throw at 
him. 

106
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:27,560
Your lucky slack 1 is a sucker 
for you, Your disgusting family.

107
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,800
Jealous. 
Pierce didn't answer, and he 

108
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,800
shot one last mean glare and 
then sat down in his chair 

109
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,280
again, going back to observing 
Regulus every move. 

110
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,560
The rest of the class was done 
in silence, except the few times

111
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,320
Regulars didn't have any choice 
but to tell Christopher what to 

112
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,760
do, where SC only nodded in 
response. 

113
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,600
Despite that, they managed to 
make an excellent potion 

114
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,640
according to Slacko. 
I wasn't aware that Slacko loved

115
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,600
you that much, but. 
He teased as the two of them 

116
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,200
left the classroom alongside the
other second years. 

117
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,920
I didn't even do anything. 
Regulars grunted. 

118
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,800
Yeah, I know, Pierce just hates 
you. 

119
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,760
Chris is completely terrified of
you. 

120
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,600
What? 
Regulus stopped and turned to 

121
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,400
look at Barty. 
Christopher scared of me, 

122
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:23,560
obviously, but why? 
Hell of I know you're the great 

123
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,560
Regulus Black. 
Barty teased, his hands 

124
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,480
gesturing of Regulus like a 
king. 

125
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Everyone is beneath you, my 
Lord. 

126
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,040
Shut up. 
Regulus said, embarrassed, 

127
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,400
pulling down Barty's arms. 
He knew it was a joke, but it 

128
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,880
still felt like a knot in his 
stomach knowing Christopher was 

129
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,280
scared of him. 
It was stupid, ridiculous even. 

130
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,680
He had never been anything but 
nice to him. 

131
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,960
I'm pretty sure he's pure blood 
as well. 

132
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,360
Makes it even funnier. 
But he smiled, right? 

133
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:06,600
Funny. 
Sunday, 11th of November 1973. 

134
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,800
Regulus was stuck with 
Christopher on his mind for the 

135
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,800
next few days. 
That annoying little kid who for

136
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,440
some inexplicable reason, seemed
scared of him. 

137
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,360
It didn't make any sense. 
How could you be afraid of 

138
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,160
someone who had done nothing 
wrong? 

139
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,440
No, actually, Reckless had been 
kind to him. 

140
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,320
That thought gnawed at him, 
frustration bubbling under the 

141
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,960
surface. 
But it didn't end with 

142
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,360
Christopher. 
Once regulars started paying 

143
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,679
attention, he began to notice 
other students too. 

144
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,440
How some would cling to the 
sides of the corridors when he 

145
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,960
passed, their eyes flickering 
away. 

146
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,960
Others would mutter to each 
other as they spotted him in the

147
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,640
Great Hall, sneaking glances and
whispering as though he was some

148
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,920
sort of threat. 
It was a pattern, one Regulus 

149
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,720
should have expected. 
Still, it left his sour taste in

150
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,560
his mouth when he brought it up 
to Barty. 

151
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:07,680
Have a breakfast one morning. 
Barty had just laughed, 

152
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:13,080
shrugging enough like it was 
nothing better than someone 

153
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,880
messing with us. 
Barty said, his tone light and 

154
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,280
dismissive as he swirled his 
spoon through his porridge. 

155
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,120
Let them be scared. 
Keeps things quiet. 

156
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,040
And sure, Barty wasn't wrong. 
There had always been all the 

157
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,040
students, mostly Gryffinders. 
He gave them sneering remarks in

158
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,040
the halls. 
Black blood, they call it. 

159
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,480
Dripping sarcasm, as though the 
name itself was a disease. 

160
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,760
He reminded Regulus of something
his mother used to say when he 

161
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,800
was younger, back when her 
lessons about the world were 

162
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,600
more frequent and far harsher. 
Better to be feared than loved, 

163
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,040
Regulus. 
Love is fickle. 

164
00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:01,680
Fear and yours. 
Only now Regulus wasn't sure he 

165
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:04,920
agreed. 
This wasn't fear, this was 

166
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,240
closer to hatred. 
And maybe that's what his mother

167
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,320
meant. 
If you couldn't be loved, being 

168
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,240
feared was safer. 
But it still sat wrong in his 

169
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:20,640
stomach and the only thing that 
managed to quiet his mind was 

170
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,920
flying. 
The Quidditch pitch was emptied 

171
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,320
that Sunday afternoon, abandoned
because of the bone chilling 

172
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,000
cold and the warm feast 
happening in the Great Hall. 

173
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:33,760
Regulus had told Barty that Bull
Stroud asked him to clean out 

174
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,840
the changing rooms. 
An excuse. 

175
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,080
It was flimsy at best, but Barty
hadn't pressed. 

176
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,000
The truth was, Regulus didn't 
want to deal with anyone. 

177
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:48,040
Not the whispering students, not
the sidelong glances, not the 

178
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,400
sense that he was a villain in 
the story he didn't remember 

179
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,120
writing. 
The winds dung his face as he 

180
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,000
soared high into the grey sky, 
his gloved hands gripping his 

181
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,880
broom tightly. 
He pushed himself to fly faster,

182
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,480
higher, until his thoughts 
dissolved into the rush of air. 

183
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:11,040
His heart pounded, his muscles 
ached, and his fingers started 

184
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,960
to go numb from the cold, but he
didn't stop. 

185
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,320
It was nearly an hour later when
he finally landed, his boots 

186
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,160
crunching against the frosted 
grass as he dismounted. 

187
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,080
His breath puffed out in white 
clouds and he flexed his hands, 

188
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,080
trying to coax warmth back into 
them. 

189
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,520
He had just finished packing up 
his broom when movement at the 

190
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,240
edge of the forest caught his 
eye. 

191
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,080
Regulus froze, his gaze 
sharpening. 

192
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:42,600
The figure was emerging from the
Forbidden Forest, long blonde 

193
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,080
hair swaying as she walked. 
He blinked, sure his eyes were 

194
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,480
playing tricks on him. 
But no. 

195
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,920
The girl kept moving closer, 
completely unbothered by the 

196
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,560
fact that she had just broken 
one of the most well known rules

197
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:59,640
at Hogwarts. 
He watched her, forgetting that 

198
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,560
she was standing in plain sight 
as she approached, her footsteps

199
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:07,520
soft against the frozen ground. 
Regulars realised too late that 

200
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,640
he couldn't slip away unnoticed.
Hello there. 

201
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,920
She said, her voice light and 
airy. 

202
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,560
Regulars blinked, taken aback by
her calm demeanour. 

203
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,280
Umm, hi. 
Now that she was closer, he 

204
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,120
recognised her. 
She was a second year Ravenclaw,

205
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,520
a quiet girl with long blonde 
hair that reminded him a little 

206
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,480
of Necisses, though hers was 
Wilder, a golden tangle that 

207
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,560
framed her pale face. 
He'd seen her in charms, always 

208
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,640
sitting off to the side, 
seemingly in her own world. 

209
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,480
She gave him a faint smile and 
walked right past him, as though

210
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,680
there was nothing unusual about 
their meeting. 

211
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,240
Regulus turned on his heel. 
You and the Forbidden Forest. 

212
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,240
I was. 
She replied simply, turning to 

213
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,040
glare at him. 
Her tone was so calm it was 

214
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,440
almost unnerving. 
It's forbidden. 

215
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,480
Regulus said coldly, his brow 
furring. 

216
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,760
Supposedly her answer made his 
irritation flare. 

217
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,280
No, it is. 
How come? 

218
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,400
She asked, her voice still soft,
her head tilting slowly to the 

219
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,240
side. 
There is no malice or talent in 

220
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:33,360
her tone, just curiosity. 
Regulus opened his mouth to 

221
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:39,120
respond, only to falter. 
I, I don't know, it's dangerous,

222
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,120
I guess. 
She smiled faintly, as if 

223
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,080
amused. 
I think danger is just things we

224
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,960
don't know enough about yet. 
The words struck him in a way he

225
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,760
hadn't expected. 
Regulus looked down and his 

226
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,560
gloved hands tightening around 
the strap of his broom. 

227
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,440
What was he supposed to say to 
that? 

228
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,640
Maybe. 
He muttered, feeling 

229
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,680
uncharacteristically unsure of 
himself. 

230
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,640
What's your name? 
She asked suddenly, breaking the

231
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,760
brief silence. 
He hesitated, his suspicion 

232
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,960
flaring back up. 
Regulus, Pandora. 

233
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,280
She replied, her tone warm and 
unbothered. 

234
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,520
She didn't flinch at his name, 
didn't react at all, and somehow

235
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:33,200
that threw him off balance. 
They stood quietly for a while, 

236
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,960
an awed quiet settling over them
as the wind whistled through the

237
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,160
empty pitch. 
Pandora turned to gaze to the 

238
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,160
forest behind her, as though 
that she could still see 

239
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,880
something beyond the trees. 
What were you doing in there? 

240
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,960
Regulus finally asked, trying to
gain some control over the 

241
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,440
conversation. 
Looking. 

242
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,560
She said. 
Looking for what? 

243
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,400
Nothing in particular. 
She smiled again, this time the 

244
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,200
slight mischievous glint in her 
eye. 

245
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,960
Sometimes it's nice to look just
for the sake of looking. 

246
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,480
Regulus started stared at her, 
bewildered. 

247
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,520
That's ridiculous. 
Is it? 

248
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,000
Pandora asked softly. 
You were flying just now? 

249
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,920
Were you flying for something, 
or were you just flying because 

250
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,840
you wanted to? 
Reckless blinked, caught off 

251
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,040
guard. 
That's not the same thing. 

252
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,160
It's not so different, she said 
of the shrug. 

253
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:42,680
You like flying? 
I like exploring, Reckless 

254
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,640
Scald, though there wasn't much 
bite to it. 

255
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,480
You'll get yourself in trouble, 
maybe, Pandora said with a light

256
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,560
laugh, brushing a strand of hair
from her face. 

257
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,520
But I think a little trouble can
be worth it sometimes, don't 

258
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,880
you? 
No, He replied automatically, 

259
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:08,200
but the words felt hollow. 
Pandora watched him for a moment

260
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,680
longer, her expression 
unreadable. 

261
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,000
You seem nice, Regulus. 
She said finally. 

262
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,840
A little sad, maybe, but nice. 
Regulus stiffened. 

263
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,040
I'm not. 
I'll see you in Charms. 

264
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,520
She said before he could finish 
turning on her heel and walking 

265
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,280
back toward the castle, her 
steps light and unhurried. 

266
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,320
Regula's what should go, 
confusion and irritation 

267
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,200
battling for dominance in his 
mind. 

268
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,120
Sad, nice. 
He wasn't sure what to make of 

269
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,920
her, or why he even cared, but 
Pandora's word stayed with him, 

270
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,400
lingering like the frost in the 
air as he gathered his things 

271
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:52,720
and headed back inside.
