ophelia liked scrunching her nose whenever she was studying. and as the top of her class, she studied a lot. mrs greengrass always reprimanded her for those actions, 'you'll get wrinkles!' the woman would say. so the younger greengrass stopped scrunching her nose while studying, at home.
another study habit of her's, however, is to get distracted after about an hour of concentration. and after her hourly timer was up, she stood from her bed and walked over to her closet, trying to find an outfit for today's activity.
her action plan to breaking up with sirius black consisted of; stern-talking, no getting distracted and wearing a horrible looking outfit. the last one wasn't scientifically proven to help the situation but, she was a witch. and witches didn't believe in science.
"does these shorts make my thighs look big?" ophelia said, opening the door to evan's dormitory — knowing venus would be there. what she didn't expect, however, was to see the couple dry humping one another whilst regulus sat in his own bed, reading a book. "what the bloody hell!"
regulus jumped from his bed and his eyes glanced at ophelia, a smile almost breaking out of his lips but then his eyes immediately landed on his two friends on evan's bed. "what the fuck!?"
"you didn't know they were doing that?!" ophelia shouted.
evan chuckled and venus slapped his chest. "i'm pretty good in silencing charms, if i do say so myself. i can give some tips to regulus for you two in the future," he winks at the girl and she glares at him and then regulus.
venus, the only person who doesn't know yet, eyes the three of them. luckily, she drops the subject and looks at the shorts. "those shorts make your arse looks nicer."
ohpelia lets out an annoyed grunt as she turns around and heads back to her dorm to bring back more shorts. evan looks at his best friend with a 'what the bloody hell is happening' look, regulus replying with a simple 'i have no idea, but pretend you know'.
she returns shortly with about 4 pair of shorts and holds up the ugliest shorts the lot has ever seen in their life. venus was about to tell her that, assuming ophelia was gonna ask her, but sealed her lips when her friend looked towards regulus.
"what do you think of these shorts?" snickers came out of the couple but were silenced by ophelia raising her hand in the air; her eyes not leaving regulus. she didn't know why she asked him and why she only wanted his opinion but she did.
regulus shrugs awkwardly. "they look ok?"
evan laughs as venus physically face-palms at regulus. "don't listen to them, i very much appreciate the honesty, regulus." she says as she glares towards the couple. "what book is that anyways? it must be pretty good for you not to notice those two having sex."
a chorus of 'we weren't having sex' were ignored as regulus couldn't help but show her the book with possibly the cutest smile there was. "little women."
"dude! that's literally my favourite book! tell me what you think when you're done," ophelia smiles and regulus could feel his knees turn into jelly. she looks so beautiful that way, talking about books. especially the book she loved. "anyways, i'm gonna go get dressed for my dat— thing. i'm gonna get ready for my thing."
as ophelia walked away, the smile on regulus' face didn't fade as he tucked himself in his bed once more. it did fade, however, when evan threw his pillow and it directly hit him in the face.
"could elia be any more blind?" evan said and venus slapped him on the chest once more. but this time evan grabbed her wrist and kissed her, passionately. regulus' face turns into one of disgust so he grabs his book and leaves the room.
it was true, ophelia truly was blind. regulus knew little women was her favourite book, he was probably the first person to know. he was the one that gifted her the first copy she ever had. but it isn't ophelia's fault for not knowing that, it was his. what kind of idiot doesn't sign a gift with their name?
but it didn't matter to regulus. she loved the book so much she bought every possible type. she has the hardbound, the red one, the green one, the orange one, the floral one, and much more. and there was always this sort of glow about her whenever she spoke about it. a glow that regulus caused.
he never read the book when he gave it to her. he just saw a book about four sisters and he thought ophelia, an only child, would love it. but after the news of their engagement was announced, he thought it would be wise to find something to talk about.

not many 15-year olds gets to tell their 16-year old boyfriend they were engaged to said boyfriend's 15-year old brother. ophelia didn't know if she should be proud of being the first.
she has never broken up with someone. sirius was her first boyfriend, first everything really. including first break up. ophelia was a nervous wreck as she met with him in front of the great hall, and it didn't help when he looked so excited to see her.
it was a rare thing for her to ask them to meet up, it was always sirius that initiated things. but unbeknownst to him, it wasn't for a good reason.
"lia!" he exlcaims happily, wrapping his arms around her. it was meant to be a quick hug but ophelia couldn't help but wrap her arms around his waist, making the hug last longer.
she loved him deeply and dearly. this might be the hardest thing she has ever done and she probably did it wrong. ophelia didn't know much about breakups, but she was sure that couples that have broken up don't end up in a broom closet, her legs around his waist and her fingers in his hair.
"sirius, we need to stop," she says as his mouth touches every inch of her neck. he abruptly stops his actions and looks up at the girl, an unreadable expression on his face.
he may have stopped kissing her, but he keeps her legs around his waist and his hands around her waist. "who did they replace me with? don't tell me it's rosier."
"no, he's with venus," she says, hesitating to tell him. ophelia would never admit this to the boy, but she had always hoped sirius and regulus would reconcile. her telling him she has to marry regulus would further the wedge between them. "it's— guess what, uhm, remember regulus? of course you do, he's your brother, but, yeah, so i'm engaged to regulus now?"
this caused sirius to lose his grip on ophelia, making her fall on the floor.
sirius crouches down and checks for injuries, but she simply laughs. he couldn't help but do the same. he was a runaway teen, his 15-year old girlfriend is breaking off not only their engagement but their whole relationship and she was now engaged to his brother, who hates him.
what else was he supposed to do other than laugh?
he couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked as she laughed. they were in a broom closet but all he could think about was how he was about to lose the most important thing to him.
not willingly to give her up, he grabbed her waist and pulled her on him. she obliged and sat on his lap, not breaking the contact.
never trust ophelia greengrass to break sirius black's heart.
