When I walked in the common room that evening, legs still aching and a trail of hickeys that went down my neck and further all from being with Reg earlier, everyone was huddled closely talking. There was no one else around, James pushed his glasses up his nose listening intently and Peter looked rather terrified. "What's the matter?"
Remus sighed and moved up so I could sit next to him, I sat in the circle in between Remus and Peter. "We were in a secret tunnel near Hogsmede today and I smelled something... Like a werewolf." He whispered and I gasped slightly. Because he was a werewolf, Remus could smell and hear things out of human range, and he could see in the dark.
"Maybe they're just passing by?" Peter offered, trying to stay positive.
"I turned 16 a few weeks ago. I'm of age. They want me... To join Greyback." Remus looked a little paler than usual, he nervously glanced around when ever he said something that could hint he was a werewolf.
"You won't join will you? Dumbledore has to protect you-" James began but Remus cut in.
"When has he ever done that?" He snapped a little then apologized, we let it slide the poor boy was under a lot of stress.
"Fuck Dumbledore, you've got us." Sirius said solemnly and I held Remus's hand in a sisterly way, to let him know I was there.
"Anything for our moony." I said and he smiled a little.
"We can figure out a plan, best to avoid Hogsmede this weekend I say." James suggested and we all agreed, it was just the beginning of a chain of scary events and we all knew it well. It would all get worse when we left, these few months and then next year (our last year) would have to be sweet.

"Oi Potter."
I was walking to my last lesson on Friday, feeling tired from the week when I heard a voice call my name. I turned around and so did Marlene and Mary who were walking with me to see Reg. He wore a smile on that perfect face of his, he clearly only said 'Oi Potter' as a joke about when we used to hate each other.
"What do you want?" I smirked, we both knew I was happy to see him. I loved being with him, the sight of him made me just feel better about anything.
"You, tomorrow. Meet me in the courtyard at 12am." He smiled down at me and Mary and Marlene were giggling. Never in a mean way of course.
"Go on Y/n." Mary grinned as if I hadn't been dating him for months anyway.
"That's very specific, any particular reason? What should I dress for?" I asked him, he wasn't giving me much detail but it sort of gave me butterflies the way he so confidentally asked like that.
"I can finally take you out so that's what I'll do, it's nothing too fancy I know you don't like that but I wanted to do something for you." That made me smile, he remembered how I thought big romantic gestures were gross but I liked people to show me they loved me in the little ways. The way Reg did, like giving me a sweater or remembering my favorite song or food.
"How romantic!" Marlene pretended to faint into Mary's arms and she caught her. Reg was very used to it by now and laughed lightly.
"I'll see you then, don't be late." I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"See you then." He smiled and I walked to charms class with Marlene and Mary while they tried to work out what he had planned.
"Maybe you'll get even more hickeys." Mary teased and I pushed her playfully.
"Are they that obvious?" I felt my cheeks going pink.
Marlene laughed and shook her head "You know how clear it is that James loves Lily? It's on that level." She teased.
I gasped dramatically, I wasn't too bothered if people saw, it was clear who they were from and that was something to show off. "At least I've got a love life." I smirked playfully.
"No boy deserves me." Marlene shrugged "I think I'll just be a crazy cat lady."
I smiled and put my arm around her. "No one deserves you especially some dumb boy." This made her smile.
"We're too hot for everyone." Mary grinned "And as you happen to be dating someone unfortunately-"
"Hey!" I protested with a laugh.
"We need to find you an outfit." Mary continued.
"Nothing too fancy okay?" I said as they dragged me up to the dorm and started digging through everyone's wardrobes.
"We want to put effort into this look, but it can't look like you put effort into it." Mary grinned throwing clothes all over the dorm.
"Because that isn't confusing at all, I can just pick it myself-" I began but Marlene cut me off.
"Perhaps something to show off that figure." Marlene giggled and held up a white cropped top up against me,
"No I don't know." I shrugged, I didn't want to look too dressed up after all.
"Nonsense you're stunning!" Mary waved a hand dismissively
After having about one hundred perfectly good items of clothing held up against me like I was a mannequin, they picked out a pair of flared jeans and a lilac top.
We hung out the clothes neatly and then we all went to bed, I lay awake staring at the roof of my four poster bed.
A smile crept onto my lips, I could publicly be with Reg, he gave me such butterflies and I wanted to spend every minute of every day with him.
We could be so perfect if the odds were in our favor. Maybe it would work out, I truly hoped so because I knew I would only ever love him. With thoughts of Reg dancing around my head, I fell asleep.
.・✫・゜・。..・✫・゜・。..・゜゜・
The birds woke me up that morning, singing right outside my window. I groaned and rubbed my eyes. When I looked around, Lily's bed was empty, so was Mary's and Marlene's curtains were drawn so she was still asleep.
It was 11 O'clock, one hour before I was meeting Reg. Shit. I rushed to get in the shower, then I dried my hair, put my outfit on that was already chosen by Mary and Marlene last night then I did some subtle makeup. Once I was satisfied with my appearance, it was time to walk down stairs and meet Regulus.
He was dressed in jeans and a casual t shirt of a wizard band I knew were popular amoung the Slytherins. I was glad to see we were both casual and I hadn't worn anything wrong. His face lit up as he saw me and he looked me up and down making no effort to hide it as his eyes scanned my body. "Hey darling."
"Hey Reg." I smiled and took his hand, it was so natural to do that now we were nearly always touching when we were together. Either holding hands or he had his arm around me, or he was straight up carrying me like he did sometimes. "Lead the way because I have no idea where we're going." I smiled at him.
"You'll see in a second." He smiled and so we walked off to our mystery location.
