Regulus's pov

"What are you wearing to the ball, Reggie?" (Y/n) asked as she sat on the right-side of the window seat. The past couple weeks, (y/n) grew a large fond over that spot. Usually I would sit on the floor beside her or next to her, but today I sat across. I've also grown a fond over the nickname 'Reggie', so (y/n) never misses an opportunity to use it.

"Dunno. Mother is sending me dress robes. Should be here by tomorrow morning." I responded, sipping my tea. "What about you?"

"It's a surprise. The Viragos are going crazy over the fact that I won't tell them. But you'll see, the ball is soon." (Y/n) did that classic Gryffindor smirk and looked out the window.

"How was Hogsmeade?"

"It was fun." She shrugged, "Searching for my dress was definitely not the easiest. Oh! And you won't believe what happened at Madam Puddifoot's." (Y/n) said and stood up from her spot.

"Madam Puddifoot's? That lovey dovey place?" I asked, and took another sip of my tea.

"Yes, ''the lovey dovey place''!" (Y/n) dramatically answered. "I saw Galton there with Patricia! Only three weeks after our date! Who moves on that quick? I know I don't." She exclaimed and mumbled the last part. (Y/n) had a small pout plant on her face.

"Are you saying that you haven't moved on from Scamander?"

"Uh- not now, Reggie. It isn't helping." (Y/n) sighed and hopelessly sat on the window seat.

"I'm not trying to help." I responded honestly.

"Gee thanks." (Y/n) sarcastically replied and placed her chin on the palm of her hand.

"I'm trying to understand." I said calmly.

"Can we do something else?" (Y/n) desperately asked.

"You're the one that brought this whole thing up." I watched (y/n) groan and bury her face into her hands. Then, a brilliant idea came to mind. "Come on." I said, placing my teacup down and standing up.

"What do you mean?" She asked, taking her face out of her hands and looked up at me.

"I'm not just going to sit around all day today. I found an interesting place around here yesterday and I want to show you. I think you'll like it."

"You mean...you have an adventure for me?" (Y/n) asked as she lifted her head up with the Gryffindor smirk back on her face.

"Yeah, sure." I shrugged, I pulled (y/n) off of the seat and led her outside. "Follow." Is all I said and she did so. We walked deeper inside the forest, passing all of the plants and trees that I recognized from the day before.

"Reggie." (Y/n) said as we walked on the log of a fallen tree. "Do you remember when I was taking you to the cottage and you thought I was leading you to your death?" She casually asked.

"Yes..." I answered and looked back at her. (Y/n) stopped in her track and stood there facing me.

"Regulus, are you leading me to my death?" She asked, crossing her arms.

"Why would I do that?" I questioned, mimicking (y/n) by crossing my arms.

"Because I heard our first quidditch match is next month." (Y/n) smirked, walking towards me. "Against Slytherin." She cocked an eyebrow.

"I thought we were saving our "petty competitiveness" for the games?" I questioned, stepping forward and getting déjà vu from the last time this happened.

"You thought correctly." She smiled, stepping back. "But seriously Reggie, where are you taking me?"

"You'll see." I smirked and continued to walk. I heard (y/n) sigh behind me and started to walk. The two of us kept on walking but (y/n) stayed behind, observing and enjoying the forest. I was just excited to show (y/n) the spot so I hardly slowed down.
