Silent Riot | Regulus Black

TEN

a/n- I will get around to editing this chapter because it is not well written AT ALL. 

'Wait, so you're saying that you've never eaten a sweet before?' Ted asked incredulously.

'I don't think I'd like them anyway,' Regulus insisted. 

'None of them?'

'Nope.'

'Jesus. That's just.. that's not normal,' Ted said. 'You're worse than Gemma.'

'I do like sweets,' Gemma defended. 'I just don't eat them very often.'

'Weirdo,' Ted muttered.

'Say what you like,' she replied smugly. 'I'm the one with abs, not you.'

'I'm bored,' Iz whined. 'This conversation is boring.'

'That's because it isn't about you,' Luke said, rolling his eyes.

'Exactly.' She pulled out a mirror and began dabbing at her eyebrows.

'What are you doing?' Ted asked.

'My eyebrows,' Iz said, as though it was obvious. Gemma rolled her eyes- Iz had blonde eyebrows and she always claimed they were barely visible, insisting on drawing them on every morning.

'Right,' Ted said, furrowing his own brow.

The five were sitting in the Three Broomsticks, and had taken off their warm coats and hats, a fireplace being close to their table. It was supposedly only meant for three people, but they'd somehow all managed to fit round it.

'Okay but seriously,' Luke said, taking a sip of his butterbeer. 'You have to talk to your brother, Reg.'

'What do you mean?' Regulus asked warily.

'You need to tell him to leave the Slytherins alone!' Luke implored. 'I'm sick of their ridiculous pranks.'

'That is true,' Gemma interjected. 'Waking up with toilet paper looped round my bed is not a fun start to the day.'

'It was his birthday,' Regulus reasoned. 'He's bound to get up to some mischief.'

'Well why does it always have to be us on the receiving end of it?' Ted said heatedly. 'They all wonder why we hate everyone and then go pull shit like that.' Everyone went quiet for a minute.

'What if we pranked them?' Gemma asked suddenly. 'I mean, we probably wouldn't do it as well as they did, but It'd be something at least.'

'That's actually not a bad idea,' Ted said, his face lighting up.

'Yes it is,' Luke argued. 'We could get into so much trouble'.

'Not if we're careful,' Iz said excitedly. 'A prank would be so much fun!'

'What kind of prank?' Regulus asked uneasily.

'Nothing mean, like swelling their tongues up,' Gemma reassured him. 'Just something like a glitter bomb or... flooding their dorm or... setting them all on fire...'

'Ooohh a glitter bomb would be cool!' Iz said. 'Let's do that!'

'No,' Luke decided. 'We need something that would be easy to clean up, so the teachers would be unlikely to notice.'

'Well...' Regulus began, but his voice trailed off.

'Yes?' Ted prompted.

'Well.. We did start making Polyjuice potion in Potions,' he said slowly. 'It'll probably only take another week or so.'
