Academic rivals.
Everyone knew they were that.
The hate feud between Regulus Black and Rune Westwood was common knowledge.
But everyone knows that there'...

Rune was basically hobbling outside the bathroom on Hogwarts Express as she waited for whoever was occupying it to finish.
The person had been in there since before Rune arrived at the bathroom and she'd been waiting for 20 minutes.
She had the mind to bang on the door and demand the girl hurry up, but it was the first day of school. Nerves were probably acting up.
Rune squeezed her legs together as she continued to pace outside the door trying to think about something other than how badly she needed to pee.
When the door finally opened and two people walked out with flushed cheeks and crumpled clothes, she realized why the bathroom had been occupied for that long.
"Oh," said Angelica Lestrange, with an expression that made her look as though she got caught doing something wrong. "Hey."
"Hi," replied Rune, shifting from foot to foot as she tried not to embarrass herself by peeing in her pants.
Angelica lightly hit Sirius in the chest and said, "This is who I was talking about. Regulus' girlfriend."
"Oh, I'm not his girlfriend," she tried, but Sirius pointed at her as recognition dawned upon him.
"Yeah, yeah. I remember. We met on the train and Reg got jealous."
"Do you know where Regulus is?" she asked, trying to steer away from that topic.
Angelica shrugged, "If you can't find him, the first place to look would be somewhere with a high altitude."
As the possibility of her wetting herself got even closer, Rune waddled to the bathroom. "I'm so sorry, I really need to pee!"
She didn't even have time to latch the door properly before rushing to the toilet to relieve herself. By the time she finished and walked out, the passageway was empty.
Rune lifted her eyes to the top of the train. It was a single-story train. If Regulus was on high altitude, he'd be on the roof.
That was ridiculous.
She hoped he knew better than to climb onto the roof of a train that moved at record speed.
Still, she found the room with the opening to the roof and climbed the ladder until she felt the wind whipping her hair and face.
And at the edge of the train, with his legs hanging of the side, sat Regulus Black.
"Are you crazy?" she asked, her voice making him jump.
He was facing her, and her eyes caught sight of the cigarette lodged between his lips.
From the way he'd reacted at the Pink Floyd concert, she would've thought he'd sworn of any form of recreational drugs and narcotics.
