Regulus Pov

Twas the night of the Holiday ball and the halls of Hogwarts were empty. No I'm serious, they were actually empty. Everyone was holed up in their dorms doing god knows what.

I look up from my book as Avery bursts through the door, with a record.

"Whatcha got there?" Evan asks.

"It's a new record, nicked it from Pandora last night."

I roll my eyes. "For Godrics sake, can't you just leave her stuff alone?" I mutter.

He grins, pushing hair off his forehead. "Nah, it's way more fun this way."

He crosses the room, setting the record next to Barty's record player.

"So Avery," Barty's starts. "Did you find a date to the ball?"

"Well obviously, who wouldn't want to go out with me?" He poses in the mirror.

"I wouldn't," Evan volunteers, raising his hand.

Avery ignores him. "I got a date alright, he's in Ravenclaw."

"Wait, Ravenclaw? Like that guy you bumped into in the great hall the other day? The one I said you should talk to?" I question.

"Bingo." He mimes shooting a gun. "His name's Ambrose and he is definitely the dreamiest guy I've ever seen."

"Damn, maybe I should play matchmaker more often."

With that, the conversation ends, each of us going back to what we were doing.

Y/n Pov

Picture this, Marlene, Mary and Lily's dorm. Three girls with green face masks. Pandora applying Lily's face mask. Silence.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh," A scream sounds from the common room. We exchange looks before running towards the door. We stumble down the stairs, coming to a stop by the fireplace.

"What happened?"

"Who died?"

"Did Peter set the common room on fire again?"

"Are you guys drunk?"

"Did you prank someone again?"

We all say simultaneously.

Remus sighs. "No ones dead, nothings on fire, no one is drunk and no one has been pranked. Sirius is just dramatic."

Sirius gasps, taking a step back. "Dramatic? How dare you Remus. I am not dramatic. It's all Peters fault." He stomps his foot and turns away, nose in the air.

"What did Peter do?" Pandora asks.

Remus sighs once more. "He touched Sirius' hair."

We all roll our eyes before turning to go back upstairs.

"Sirius, if you scream again, I'm cutting off your hair," Marlene warns.

Sirius gasps, moving to hide behind Remus. "Remus, the mean lady is being mean to me."

Remus sighs, waving goodbye to us.

We head back up to the dorm in silence.

"So, how's everyone doing their hair?" Lily breaks the silence.

"Well I'm putting mine up in a bun, but like a messy one, with braids in it," Pandora reveals, tucking a strand of her pale blonde hair behind her ear.

"I'm pulling half of mine back," Mary chimes.

"I'm going to curl mine and then pull half of it back with a white bow," Lily adds.
