there was only one thing ophelia greengrass hated more than uncertainty and it was a unorganization it can be sock drawer with all the socks mismatched to an unorganized life. she hated it. ever since she was young, younger than she currently was, organization was all she had.
she organized her parent's schedule when they weren't looking, she organized all the pills st. mungos had given her, she organized her dormmates things (which they were actually grateful for) and when something in her organized things would go off the rails, she would too.
whether it was an unchecked box in her checklist or a missing sock, ophelia will go crazy. 'she's one accident away from becoming a supervillain,' venus muttered to evan when the blonde greengrass was staring at the ceiling after finding out she had to change her summer schedule because of her delirious aunt.
but she was glad her day was going on schedule. she woke up with nightmares, naturally, but still woke up in time. she went down to the common room, walked to the great hall with regulus, venus and evan. talked with her friends. ate. walked to potions while complaining about potions.
she even made two friends. one of which was the former love of her life and the other was her fiance, both of them being brothers. yay!

the other day, it took a few hours of more making out in the broom closet for the couple to agree on being friends. in sirius' words, 'we'll swallow our feelings for each other forever, then.'
and now, today, she asked regulus to walk with her on the black lake. there she asked him if they could at least know each other. "look," she started, acting as though she hasn't been practicing this speech since last night. "my parents don't love each other but they care for each other. a lot. they were honest with one another too. my dad always tells my mom about his affairs and vise versa. basically what i want to say is, you can do whatever you want, just tell me what it is.
we may be in a loveless marriage," she moves forward and their eyes meet, so does their hands. "but i do hope we can be honest with each other."
regulus bit his tongue. he wanted to tell her he loved her. kiss her. hold her like the world was ending. but he knew better so he smiled, "friends?"
ophelia chuckles. "friends."
evan and venus were not subtle with their opinion on the two. they would mutter "friends my arse" whenever one or two of them would passed by. venus would ask her more details on their engagement (after getting mad at ophelia for not actually telling her about the engagement itself) but the greengrass would just ignore her.
the group of four found themselves hanging out more and more during the weeks that passed. and despite the promise sirius and ophelia made to stay as friends, they've never gone past the quick "hello"s in the hallway.
