Heart Scars ||| Remus Lupin

Eight

Adhara wore a short, black miniskirt, and a smooth, green cropped halter top. Alecto curled her hair into fat ringlets, and applied light makeup to her face.

"I hear Nott has taken a liking to you. He's very good looking." Alecto comments as they're about to make their way down to the party. Adhara scoffs.

"Al, you're meddling again." She hums as she twirls her hair around her finger. Alecto groans, but doesn't reply as she drags Adhara down the stairs.

"You two look nice." Regulus complements as he hands them drinks. Alecto smirks and Adhara rolls her eyes.

"Thank you, little brother." Adhara ruffles his neat hair, making his curls fall in all different directions. He groans and goes off to fix his hair.

"There's the others." Alecto says as she makes her way to the couches and chairs. Alecto plops down into Pandora's lap, spilling her drink a little in the process.

"Whoops." She licks it off her arm, and several boys around them look at the red head with lust.

"Watch it, or I'll knock your teeth out." Amycus threatens a Ravenclaw boy, who gulps and rushes away from the group.

"Amy, that was my fun tonight." Alecto pouts. Amycus rolls his eyes and smacks her on the back of the head.

"Find a pureblood, sister. He's a halfblood, he'll give you germs or something." Amycus then marches off to get another drink, and his twin rolls her eyes.

Amycus and Alecto was what Adhara always wanted with Sirius. She wanted them to be close, to be protective of each other. She wanted them to fight and argue, but in the end know they're still siblings.

"Perk up, Ara, it's a party." Evan refills her drink, his bright blue eyes settling on her stormy grey ones. Adhara rolls her eyes, but smiles at him.

Evan had that aura about him, one that could make anyone smile no matter the situation. Maybe that was why Adhara enjoyed his company, he radiated joy, something that Adhara didn't have a lot of.

Adhara could see Barty eyeing Evan and her with what could only be described as pure jealousy. Adhara giggles.

"Your boyfriend looks like he's going to tear me apart." She comments. Evan turns red and tears his eyes to look at Barty.

"How did you-" Evan turns back to her, panic taking over his usually calm features.

"It's hard not to miss. Barty is so possessive over you, it's honestly quite cute." She smiles as she nudges his arm, and he shyly smiles back, the worry dissipating from his face.

"Who's that?" Dorcas' voice is loud enough for their entire group to hear, and they all turn towards the entrance of the common room.

It's a girl, in a plain yellow crop top and white bell bottom pants. She's tall, maybe the same height as Adhara. She has blonde hair, and dark brown eyes. Adhara is sure she's never seen her before.

"New girl, Ravenclaw. Transfer from Beauxbatons." Amos Diggory, who was standing near them, says.

Almost all the boys are staring at her, but Adhara notices one that looks absolutely taken with her.

Her little brother has stopped breathing completely, his eyes set on her. The transfer walks over to a group of girls, but Regulus' eyes follow her. Adhara smiles lightly as she lays a hand on her brother's shoulder.

"Gorgeous, isn't she?" She laughs as Regulus gulps.

"She's probably half Veela, but if I know one thing, you're a Black. You're equally as good looking as she is, go talk to her." Adhara shoves her brother, and he slowly makes his way over to the girl. The crowd of boys around her hastily parts, eyeing the Black heir.
