Regulus Black: Monday 22nd October 1975

(10:56am)

"SIRIUS, JAMES, REMUS, PETER! OPEN THIS BLOODY DOOR, I KNOW YOUR IN THERE!" Shouted Barty.

"Barty, why are you shouting?" Asked Lily Evans, appearing behind them. Regulus tensed immediately. He hadn't even began to think of poor Lily's reaction to James and Regulus if she found out and how akward things could become between them, given that Remus, Lily and Regulus often liked to study together.

"Hello Lily," he said, smiling at her, though it was strained. Lily smiled back and then indicated towards Barty who was now producing his wand to unlock the door instead.

"What's going on?" asked Lily.

'We um...".

"We just need to have a word with the er... marauders or whatever," Evan said, also appearing beside Lily. He and Dorcas had stayed behind, running into some people the met at the party a few nights before.

"Oh right... have any of you seen Panda?". The 4 then shared joint looks of immense confusion.

"Pandora, you mean?" asked Doracs, arms folded.

"Yes, yeah her... have you seen her?".

"She's in her dorm room," Supplied Barty, grinning madly. Lily smiled at him.

"Thank you," she said, politely, before dashing off down the stairs. Evan raised an eyebrow and Dorcas scoffed.

"So obviously in love," she said.

"Who, Lily and Dora?" asked Barty. "What gave it away, the nickname or the fact that her name was written on her arm? Did none of you notice the P, A, N under her sleeve?".

"Why would we be looking at her sleeves, Barty," Regulus sighed. Barty winked.

"You never know, love,". Right at that moment, The door to the marauders dorm swung open, although Barty had stopped knocking a while ago.

"What could you possibly want and how the hell did you get in?" asked Remus, hands in his jeans pockets.

"Not important. We need Black and Potter," said Barty. Remus glanced at Regulus, an eyebrow raised.

"They aren't avaliable for a make out if that's what the 2 of you want," Said Remus. Barty visibly tensed beside Regulus.

"Remus don't be stubborn, it's not about that. Its far more important otherwise we wouldn't be banging the door down," said Regulus.

"Alright Black, keep your snake in your pants. They aren't here. The two of them took of with Peter after class," Said Remus.

"Took of where?" asked Regulus.

"Well I don't fucking know do I. Now if thats all you want-".

"Remus,". Regulus and Remus both looked at Barty.

"I don't... me and Sirius aren't anything more than friends," he said. Remus snorted.

"I'll make sure to tell sirius when he comes back up, yeah?".

"No Remus-".

"Listen Crouch, I don't really care what you have to say right now, it's pissing me off enough having to look at you. You've disrupted my peace to come and ask about Sirius and if that wasn't annoying enough, you're asking for his best mate too,".

"Why do you care what I do with Jamie,".

"Well clearly you're just happy to shag anyone now, no?".

"Remus!".
