When The Stars Fall

Totally Not A Date

Authors Note: I guess this is a smut warning if it even counts. I'd rather not get yelled at though so... warning.

Regulus sat in the common room working on his homework.

It had been eleven hours since the incident and Keiran had yet to bring it up. Regulus was starting to believe he'd got away scot-free and Kieran just thought it'd been a really weird dream.

Of course, that didn't last much longer.

Evan hopped on the couch looking down at Regulus. Why the man sat on the floor instead of a chair he would never understand.

"What's going on with you and Potter?" He asked, smirking when Regulus snapped his head over to face him.

"You're shagging Potter?!" Pandora asked as she walked into the common room.

"You're shagging Potter? James Potter?!" Barty asked turning to face him.

Regulus looked around at them all with a scowl, "Kieran!" He yelled.

"I didn't see anything!" Kieran responded from across the common room.

"Then why say anything?!"

He sighed closing his book and walking over, "You know me. I can't keep a secret. If you're going to shag Potter do it in his dorm. Actually, he shares a dorm with your brother... do it in a closet."

"I am not doing this." He scoffed standing up.

"Sit the fuck back down." Pandora scoffed pushing him into the chair, "What were you thinking?"

Glaring at Kieran he lowered his voice, "I am not shagging James Potter. I'm not shagging anybody!"

"Then why does Kieran say he was in your bed?"

"He was helping me to bed, I was drunk."

She nodded as if believing him, "So he's not who you're sneaking out to meet every night?" She asked, crossing her arms.

"Kieran!"

"Leave me alone I have my own secrets I can't keep yours too," Kieran complained.

Regulus ran a hand over his face, "I'm going to the library. I'm not meeting up with anybody." He explained.

'It's not a lie. Technically he's meeting me not the other way around.'

"Any more questions?" He added as he stood up.

Barty frowned, "So you're... not into Potter?"

He sighed shaking his head, "I am not interested in Potter." He assured pushing past them and walking out of the common room.

Evan looked over at Barty raising an eyebrow, "Could you be any more obvious?"

"I'm just looking out for my friend."

Marlene ran into the Marauder's dorm room, "Have you seen James?" She asked Remus and Peter, the only two in the dorm.

"You heard the rumour," Remus said looking over at her and putting a stop to their game.

"Is it true?" She whispered with a grin as she climbed onto the bed.

"Of course, it's not true! He was with us." He lied easily.

Peter scoffed, "That and its barbaric to believe that James would shag a Slytherin."
