The group and I were walking along the trail that'd guide us towards Hogsmeade. I was holding Lorenzo's arm as we walked on the long bridge though, fear of falling off. My teeth chattered at the cold air, hugging his arm tighter, before shutting my eyes and letting my body shiver momentarily. "Sh-shit.." I mumbled, with him looking down at me in concern.

He tsk'ed lightly before reaching to unravel the scarf around his neck, making me face him fully now. "What are you-"

"What does it look I'm doing, Y/N?" He chuckled lightly. We both stopped walking now, the others not noticing and continuing their walk.

He looked down at me, before smiling lightly, and wrapping the scarf around my neck tightly. If it weren't for the cold air, he'd definitely notice my blush, but thank god he didn't. He put his beanie on top of my head, securing it comfortably. "All better?" He smiled, patting my shoulders. "Ah, yeah.. thank you, but what about you?"

"I'll manage," I hummed in response, before he took my hand in his without warning, and shoving it in his pocket's jacket. He kept rubbing my hand to make it warm and so it wouldn't freeze.

I noticed Pansy looking behind her momentarily and she gave me a smirk before continuing her conversation with Draco. Lorenzo and I walked in comfortable silence, and a great enough distance from them.

For some reason, I've been getting mixed signals from Regulus and Lorenzo. They act so kind towards me, but I'm not sure if it's in a friendly way or in a way they like me. They take care of me like a friend, looking out for me and whatnot, but then their gestures make me think otherwise, like now. I can't tell whether or not right now if Lorenzo is just being a kind friend and keeping me from freezing to death, or if it's something more.

It was like the interaction the other day with Regulus, at the Quidditch match. He handed me his practice jersey despite him needing it because of the bad weather. He allowed me to sleep in his room multiple times under bad circumstances, and not to mention when he saved me from that demeantor..

I shook my head at my thoughts, saving them for a conversation to have with Pansy later.

Third Person POV.

Regulus, on the other hand, was behind the two, looking at the whole interaction. He felt his chest tighten in a way he didn't like, seeinf as this feeling was unfamiliar for him. His eyebrows scrunched in a bit of anger, letting this go noticed by his two friends by his side.

"Yeah and then she- Regulus? Are you okay dude?" Barty spoke out of concern, causing Evan to look silently now as well. Regulus's right hand was clenched tightly on his side with his eyes looking forward, eyeing the entire scene out of in front of him. "Uhm, earth to Regulus?"

"What?" He blinked.

"Are you okay?" He asked once more, then following Regulus's eyes slowly, ending at the two now. Barty couldn't help but have a slight smirk, "Oh.. I see what's going now."

"What? Nothing's going on," He said in defense, his face going back to normal, and his hand going back into his pocket. Barty dramatically sighed, with Evan holding back a amused smile. "Suuure," He paused, "Do you have feelings for Y/N?"

This caused Regulus to stop in his tracks, his two friends following in suit. "I do not have feelings for her." He deadpanned, crossing his arms. Evan mumbled, "Your body language says otherwise, though."

"What?"

"Regulus, did you not see yourself just now? You were eyeing them with a mad stare, and not to mention, your entire body stiffened up."

"I don't-"

"Man, you need to hurry up and fess up. Whatever you say we're not going to believe you. Hurry up before Lorenzo steals her and you'll lose your chance." Barty spokeup now.

"But I don't-" his cold expression faltered a bit.

"Cut the crap, Black. It's so obvious with the way you look at her and take care of her. Since no one else will help you, we will. Open your eyes, you're in love with her and she's in love with you. For the sake of us, please just admit it! It hurts to see you so dense. Actually, the both of you are so dense. It physically and genuinely kills me at the amount of stupidity you both have." Barty ranted, with Evan howling in laughter now, but agreeing.

It was silent for a while, before Regulus spoke up. "....Saying in love is a bit of a stretch, don't you think?" His face scrunched up in disgust, with his two friends laughing. "So you admit it?" Barty asked in excitement, with Regulus sighing. "I'm not in love with her I'd say, but I like her a bit." He cringed, never believing the words coming out of his mouth.

"Yes, fucking finally! For a smart guy, you definitely know nothing when it comes to crushes,"

"I don't have time for that."

"Man, this guy-"" Barty cut himself off, pinching the bridge of his nose, before they all laughed together.
