chapter sixty three

By the beginning of May, the weather became much softer. Many people, including Candace and her friends had started basking in the sun since the air became hotter as well. Now that the Quidditch season was over, Adena had much more time to spend with Regulus. Both of them found time to complete every essay they had on time. Instead of spending free afternoons in the boy's bedroom, the two teens were now enjoying their time together outside. The nature was so pretty at that time of the year, Adena found it peaceful. They were together under a tree, the perfect place to be under its shadow while the sun managed to shine through the branches. The girl was currently sitting against the trunk while her boyfriend's head was lying on her lap. The two were laughing together while homework was on the side and her hand brushing through his locks.

"Honestly, I feel so sorry for Flint. Like her parents couldn't think of someone better for her."

"Apparently no, they had to choose the most hideous boy of her age."

"For real, Alvin Purvis is the ugliest and the stupidest guy I've ever seen. Poor girl," said the girl laughing again.

"Just like Wilkes and his fiancée. At least it's not sure for Flint, she's lucky."

"Happily, you won't have to end up with the first girl chosen by your parents."

"Yeah actually."

"Wait, so it happened to your parents as well?"

The boy sighed and then said, "My father and my mother are second degrees cousins..."

"Merlin's beard what! But that's horrible!" exclaimed the brunette with shock, before laughing again.

"Something like that must have happened in your family for you to end up with a blood as pure as mine you know..." he muttered, feigning vexation.

She scrunched up her nose in a disgusted manner before her laughter exploded again.

"You must feel lucky to have found me then. You could have ended up with one of your hideous cousins!" she whispered in a teasing manner, referring to his cousin Bellatrix that he mentioned before.

"Most of them are too old and anyway, my cousins aren't all hideous you know! Do you remember Narcissa Black?"

"Not sure..."

"She's older than us but you might have seen her in first year. A Slytherin, tall blonde girl," told her the boy.

She started thinking then replied, "She was in seventh year, right? Well, I remember, why?"

"She's my cousin. And she ain't ugly."

"Makes sense, you have the same name. And I admit it, she's good looking."

"She's actually a Malfoy now. And she's one of the best cousins I have, unlike her sister Bellatrix, who's completely mad as I told you but very devoted to the Dark Lord nonetheless."

"Don't mention her again!" whined the girl before laughing along with her boyfriend. Suddenly he turned his eyes towards a group of people and then whispered, "Your sister and Sirius are looking at us."

Adena looked up from his face to watch them in fact fixing them. She took out a piece of parchment from her bag with a quill where she wrote some words. She enchanted the paper with her wand, making it fly towards the group.

"What did you write?"

"Go study you lazy arses." And the boy snorted.

"As if they didn't have better things to do than spying on us seriously. We have the most annoying siblings."

The girl hummed, watching them read her note with a chuckle but then Regulus spoke up again. "By the way, you were right. I'm really lucky to have found you. My mother is probably looking for a girl to marry at the moment, I really can't wait to tell her to stop because I have you."
