Regulus

I just kissed James Potter in the astronomy tower.
Now I'm hurrying back to the Slytherin common room. I just left. Not because I didn't enjoy the kiss but because I wasn't sure how to deal with the fact that it happened.
I don't stop walking until I'm at the portrait that guards Slytherin common room
"Password" the portrait demands
"Lemon sherberts" I reply
The portrait swings open and I rush inside. I quickly make my way to my dormitory and decide that I should just go to bed. I get myself in bed and under the covers but sleep doesn't take me just yet. I just lay there, staring at the top of my four poster bed, reliving what just happened.
Eventually, sleep consumes me and I drift off into a dream

"I loathe you"
"If that were true you wouldn't be standing so close to me would you?" He grabs my chin and a flutter flows through my lower abdomen "Tell me again, Regulus, look me in the eyes and tell me how much you loathe me, go on, use your words" He's making me feel things I've never felt before. My mouth goes dry and I've lost the ability to speak "I-I"
"That's what I thought"
I sigh and he laughs "so pretty"
"Pretty?"
"You're such a pretty boy"
He kisses me and I don't stop him. I grind my hips against him "call me that again" I beg
"What? Pretty boy?" He asks, I nod and he smirks "you are a pretty boy, my pretty boy" he says before kissing down my neck. I throw my head back out of pleasure as well as to allow him more access. His hands roam my body, touching me in all the right places.

I shoot up boltright, waking up from my dream. What the fuck? What is happening?
I decide to get out of bed and splash my face with water to see if I could possibly drown the unwanted thoughts and dreams that keep plaguing my mind. Maybe I should talk to Dora about this? But that would require telling someone that I've kissed James Potter. Now, don't get me wrong, the kiss was beautiful, incredible even, but that doesn't mean it should happen again.
Though I wouldn't be opposed to that reoccurring.
Stop it, Regulus.
The next morning I go down to breakfast with Evan and Barty and see that Slughorn is handing out new timetables. "Mr Black" says Slughorn
"Thanks" I say, taking the parchment out of his hands and having a look for myself.
First period is a flying lesson with the Gryffindors but I'm more interested in second and third period which is double herbology with Ravenclaw meaning I get two hours with my Dora and today is Wednesday which means I eat lunch with hed.
"Morning, Reggie, Morning Evan, Morning Barty" as if on cue, Pandora Malfoy sits at our table as she does every morning "Morning, Dora" Evan and Barty chime in unison
"Good Morning, Dora" I say with a smile and she smiles back.
"Got your timetable yet?" Asks Barty as he butters toast
"I have! I noticed double herbology later on today which is rather exciting but I'm more excited for potions this year, I want to see what more I can experiment with"
The thing about Dora is that you cannot physically dislike her, it's impossible. The way you know that is that Barty actually likes having her around, Barty only really tolerates people and only if they're Slytherin, he doesn't care about the other houses, but Dora, he cares about Dora, everyone does.
I then see James Potter enter the great hall. My stomach twists and I'm not sure if it's out of anger or nerves or what but he's making me feel things I don't like.
"What's up, Reggie? Nargles on the brain?" Asks Dora
"No, no just tired is all" I reply
"Reg sneaked in at around 1am last night" Evan chips in
"Oh, do tell" says Dora
"Well if you all must know about everything I do, I was up at the astronomy tower because I couldn't sleep at lights out, then when I eventually got tired I returned to my chambers" I reply
"Merlin you are so boring!" Exclaims Barty
"I am wounded" I reply, mocking offence
"Well, you could have lied and made up some extravagant story about how you were shag- about how you were with a girl or at a party or something cool but nooo" Barty adds.
Another thing about Barty is that he refuses to swear or be crude in front of Dora, she's apparently too pure for any of that and I whole heartedly agree.
"Please, Barty, that would be so rogue of me, I can't possibly do something out of character lest I lose my main character status" I reply dramatically
"Who duhbed you main character?" Asks Evan
"Me of course" I reply, flicking imaginary hair off of my shoulder.
"Reg" I turn and see my older brother standing behind me "What do you want, Sirius?" I ask
"I wrote to mum and dad, Bella is telling the truth, they do want me there to meet Lucius" he replies
"I know" I say
"Do you think I can get out of it?" He asks, genuine fear in his eyes
"Not a chance" I scoff, and he knows I'm right
"What is my cousin doing at your house at Christmas?" Asks Dora
"Cissy is dating Lucius apparently and the whole family wants to meet him, naturally they're thrilled to have yet another pure blood in the family" Sirius replies, rolling his eyes as he explains
"Oh how wonderful!" Exclaims Dora
Sirius scoffs at her "if that's your idea of wonderful then it's pretty fucked up"
and that was Sirius' big mistake.
Barty shoots up, kicking back the bench so far behind him it hits the wall before he points his wand at Sirius "Don't you dare speak to her like that" Barty spits
"Calm it, Mate, I was just telling the truth"
"Watch your mouth, Sirius" I warn
"When did you become the all mighty protector?" Asks Sirius
"As soon as you mistreated my Dora" I reply
"Boys please, it's okay" says Dora
"It's not okay, Dora, you didn't do anything wrong" Evan consoles her
"Woah, woah, woah, what's going on?" Asks James
"Merlin! Why are you everywhere, Potter. do you just have an inability to keep your nose out of other people's business?" I ask vehemently
"If you must know, I didn't think a two on one would be fair so I came to have Sirius' back, but I'm sure you wouldn't know what I mean" James replies
Before I realize it, I've discarded my wand and instead I punch James square in the face, sending him tumbling backwards
"Regulus!" Exclaims Dora
"I'm sorry, Dora" I reply
"What is going on here?!" Exclaims Professor McGonnogall
"Sirius take Potter to Madam Pomfrey, Regulus you come with me" McGonnogall says sternly. All of us oblige because you never, ever disobey McGonnogall, even Slytherins know that rule.
I follow her all the way to her office. "Sit" says McGonnogall, so I do. She closes the door and sits behind her desk, opposite me and sighs.
"Punching another student? What were you thinking?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't think"
"No, you're right, silly of me to even assume you might have put some thought into such a careless act"
"Look, it all blew way out of proportion"
"Explain"
So I did, I explained about Christmas, about what Sirius said and why it riled us up so much and then I told her what James said and how that led us up to now.
"Goodness, well, whilst I admire your efforts to protect Miss Black, might I remind you that she is a perfectly capable woman"
"Oh no, Professor, no need to remind me, I'm very aware. Pandora is one of the strongest, greatest people I know, but she's also too kind for her own good, she'd let anyone kick her about and I won't have that"
"I see. However, violence is never the answer"
"I understand, Professor, and you know that's not my usual resort but James knows the ins and outs of mine and Sirius' relationship, our home life and everything, for him to stoop so low made me so angry that I didn't even realize what I was doing until I'd done it"
"I agree that Mr Potter should not have said that, what he did was cruel, unnecessary and careless and rest assured he will be sanctioned but I'm afraid the both of you will have to suffer a detention together because I cannot let you go without a consequence, whilst you are not a violent student, I cannot let you off just because it's not in your nature"
"I understand, Professor, thank you"
"Mr Black, before you go, you do know I am here if you ever need to talk, my open door policy remains as strong as ever"
"Thank you, Professor"
I get up and leave, not before offering her a smile though and I continue my way to first period: flying.
I quite enjoy flying, I enjoy feeling the rhythm of the broom, the air on my face and running through my hair. It's the main reason I play quidditch, so I can fly so often.
I'm the seeker for the Slytherin quidditch team which is quite the role to have as a fourth year but what can I say? I'm pretty good if I do say so myself. I'm quite excited to get back on the pitch for when the competitive games start up again this year, it'll be fun. Flying is quite freeing, quite mind clearing. I reckon I'll need to take my broom for a spin on the pitch after my detention today if time permits. I can't believe I've got detention with Potter. He makes my blood boil.
Who does he think he is? He pisses me off, then he kisses me, then he pisses me off some more. He needs to make up his fucking mind, does he hate me? Does he love me? Or does he just need a distraction? I mean, everyone knows he's practically in love with Lily Evans. He couldn't possibly like me the way he likes her, it just wouldn't make sense, would it?
Our flying lesson ends and I head to Herbology which I know will be good because it's with Dora.
I get to class and take my spot right next to my favorite girl.
"Hey, Dora"
"Hey Reggie" she smiles at me "What happened earlier?" She asks
"I got detention"
"You broke James' nose"
"Good"
"Regulus!"
"I'm sorry Dora but he was being cruel"
"I know, but you can't do things like that or people are going to think you're a bad person"
"So?"
"So you're not a bad person, I don't want people to think lies about you, it's not kind and it's not what you deserve"
"Thank you, Dora"
"It was sweet of you to stand up for me though, I do appreciate that a lot"
"Anything for my Dora" I say and she smiles at ms.
Eventually, the dreaded time comes where I have to make my way to the great hall to find out what joys I have to endure for my detention with James Potter. I reckon it's going to be hell.
I get to the great hall and the only person in there is Mr Filtch, the caretaker. No sign of James yet. Another five minutes goes by and James finally arrives "Finally. Took your time" I say under my breath "What was that, Black?" James asks, unamused
"Quiet" Filtch demands, and we oblige. "Tonight you'll be polishing trophies, no wands of course, you can go when you're done, I don't care when that is as long as you get it done, I'll check in every hour to make sure you haven't bunked detention but other than that you're on your own" Filtch explains.
Brilliant.
