A rose hiding thorns

Frozen (frozen) inside without your touch Without your love, darling Only (only) you are the life among the dead

{A few days later}

Still feeling the remnants of my hangover, I got up on Friday the last day before. Until I'm not a normal teenager anymore. Swinging my feet around so they would hit the floor, then I was awake. As soon as my feet hit the floor, I didn't sit down until it was time for lunch. I sighed as I piled my plate with food. Sipping on my tea and studying for my newts. I was ready to pull my hair out. Making sure my work was caught up for the weekend. Rubbing my eyes, I twisted my hair and then put my wand in my hair to hold it. I put a spoon in my soup and started feeding myself. I haven't seen Regulus all morning. We are both very busy people when schoolwork is in the way, but he's got more stress on him now...

"I swear the next first-year who comes up to me and asks for a picture I'm going to Avada myself," I say under my breath 

"They just keep asking me what it's like being Merlin descends friends" Mae mutters 

We both picked at our food moving it around our plates. I love grilled cheese and mashed potatoes but I can't help but worry about what is in store for me the rest of the weekend. Feeling the sense of warmth radiating from behind me I turned around. I gave him a quick smile. "Hi Mon Coeur," I say looking up at him 

"Hello mi corazón," He says plopping a seat next to me

We talked about our plan once again tomorrow I would go to Grimuald Place with Regulus and meet with the "Dark Lord" and then I would go into a meeting with him alone. We've been practicing how to keep my shields up as tight as I can for long periods. Hearing the plan over and over again I couldn't help myself "So are we ready for this or are we all nervous pieces of shit, that we are potentially pissing off the darkest wizard of magical history?" I say bluntly 

"Nervous," Mae says with a shakey breath 

"I second that one, "Reggie says in my ear

"Okay cool I'm glad I'm not the only one, "I say with a nervous laugh 

After lunch, the three of us decided to skip the rest of the classes for the day and hide in the room of requirement. "Did you hear about a new student coming to Hogwarts?" Reggie asked us

"No, I didn't know we were getting one that's so cool!" I say 

"Where are they from?" Mae asks

"Japan transfer," Reggie says

"Of fuck when do they get here?" I ask 

"She gets sorted Sunday I do believe," Reggie says

"Bloody amazing" Mae says with excitement

We talked for the rest of the evening I can't believe I am about to be marked as a monster even though I'm not one...

{Next day}

Regulus didn't waste time the next morning I was told to wear something nice. So I put on a black bodycon dress on with silver jewelry adding heels and some makeup and let my hair down. 

"You look amazing but you seem too nervous he can smell that on you so when you get there be bold and ruthless like I know you can," Regulus says while taking my hand in his and we make our walk down to Hogesmede. We can't exactly apparate inside school walls so we had to do it outside and in secret... I shake my head understanding what he said I put a fake face on quickly and threw my shields up and locked them tightly. I feel Regulus stop before he plants a kiss on my lips.

"Be a good girl for me please this is my boss and soon to be your's don't piss him off" He says the nickname sent a shiver down my spine I liked it a little too much...
