i'm feeling hotter than fire. ❜

Elysian West was a "true" Gryffindor. She was your textbook definition of brave, courageous, loyal, and anything and everything that made you able to wear the red and yellow tie with pride. Her family had a long history with the House of the Lion, which they were very proud of. 

She was known around Hogwarts as the "nice girl." She helped anyone who needed it, whether it was studying, their homework, or even the professors with their classes. She was truly the greatest person who attended the school of witchcraft and wizardry.

Regulus Black was a "true" Slytherin. He was cunning, determined, clever, and anything and everything that made the green and white tie fit your neck perfectly. His family was one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, and they, like the West family, were very proud of their status.

He was everything Elysian despised, so why is it that she found herself enthralled with him after they met? He was the younger brother of Sirius Black, someone she strongly disliked, but yet she saw something in him—something that was different from that of his brother.

Elysian had no idea what trouble she was getting herself into by getting involved with Regulus. He was dangerous, or rather, his lifestyle was dangerous. And she was unaware of the heartbreak she would experience by falling for him.

Regulus could never have predicted the mind-altering feelings he would develop for Elysian. He had no idea the changes she would bring about in his life—changes he would desire.

They were in for a real treat—some real chaos. They were forbidden. A Slytherin and a Gryffindor; a pure-blood and a half-blood; a blood supremacist and a girl who didn't care about blood status—no one expected them to be together. No one expected them to even get along, let alone fall in love.

Those two were designed to destroy; they were designed to ruin lives and cause heartbreak. If only they could've stopped themselves before any of that happened.

━━━━ ella's speaking !
don't ask me why bc idk, but i randomly got the urge to make a regulus black fic even though i knew jack-shit about him lmfao

obviously, i've now changed that and i've done some studying of marauders era, so i think this will be pretty easy to write !!

also, sorry for the synopsis being shitty... my writing decided to suck & i didn't feel like rewriting it.

oh and, this is my favorite playlist i've made for one of books, like all of the taylor and lana >>

i hope you enjoy!

kisses 🫶🏻
