Bad Skittle

Chapter 15

Regulus was coming back today and all his friends had said that there were some rumours about him, but he should just ignore the whispers, because they were sure there would be whispering.

He had just gotten his bag out of the train and now he was in walking to the castle.

As he neared an area that had more students, he did start to hear whispers, and people pointing at him, and it made him feel small, but he did his best to ignore it.

He kept walking and only stopped outside of the Slytherin common room.

When he got in, he saw Evan there and they both walked to the dorm, none of them talked, they didn't need to, they were fine with just enjoying each other's company.

He puts his things away, and Evan tells him that he'll stay in the dorm, he's not feeling well, and to warn the teachers.

Well, he has class in ten minutes, he should start going.

He leaves and starts going to the charms classroom, it's quite far, so he's walking fast, and when he bumps into someone, he immediately apologises.

He was supposed to be in class already, so the halls were empty, it was just him and this guy.

"I'm so sorry," Regulus said, and he was about to start walking again, but the boy grabbed his wrist and shoved him against the wall.

"You think you can just go around bumping into people?" The guy asks and Regulus tries to stand straight, but he now has two hands pining his shoulders to the wall.

"I said I'm sorry," Regulus repeated, but he was only pushed further against the wall. "I'm late for class, can you please let me go?"

"I don't think so," he answered. "I heard that Crouch was expelled because of you, is it true?"

"He hurt me, madam Pomfrey found out and she told Dumbledore, that's all," Regulus explains but the other just laughs.

"Well, I heard that you were a whore and begged Crouch to fuck you, but then you regretted and said he raped you. Now, which one is true?" The guy asked as he kept pressing on his shoulders, but got closer and pressed his body to Regulus's.

"That's not true, now please let me go," Regulus repeated but all he got was a dry laugh.

"I said I'm not letting you go," the guy repeated too. "If he really did rape you and risked getting expelled, I want to know if it was worth it."

"It wasn't, now let me go, please," Regulus kept saying.

"You're not going anywhere," the guy said as he moved to suck onto Regulus's neck.

Regulus really didn't want to do that, so he got his wand as quickly and unnoticeably as possible and then he whispered, "petrificus totalus." The guy just froze and fell to the floor, so Regulus ran away and into the charms classroom.

Professor Flitwick gave him an odd look and said that he wanted to see him after class, after all, Regulus just got in halfway through the class.

Regulus pulled his robes up, in hopes that it would cover his neck, and he hoped that it hadn't been enough for it to be noticeable, but at the end of class, it was clear that he had hickeys.

He walked to the professor who seemed unimpressed.

"May I know why you were late?" He had asked and the boy looked down.

"I was stopped on my way and it took me a while to get rid of them," Regulus explained.

"And were those marks on your neck made by who stopped you?" the small man asked and Regulus tried to seem confused.
