It has been two days since my 'Consequence' was bestowed upon me and god damn. The way people interact with me now is crazy.
A lot of girls are a lot 'nicer' to me in front of me but I now hear them talking shit about me behind my back. I think my favorite thing I heard was a Ravenclaw girl from fifth year talking about how "she's not even that pretty" and how the marauders "only hang out with her because she is a whore".
How my appearance changing and me being a whore have anything to do with one another is beyond me but the social difference is crazy. It's not even like i'm prettier than I was before, I just have a more mature look.
Along with all the gossip going on about me I haven't seen Regulus in those two days since our one class together doesn't happen on Sundays or Mondays. However this morning I received an owl from him asking if we can study in the library at 4.
Obviously I said yes and at 3:30 I made my way to the library.
I made my way to the back of the library where we always meet to study since its less crowded and usually free from judgmental peers.
I walk down the aisles and look for Regulus's signature jet black hair. When I finally find him in the back corner of the library a massive smile spreads across my face. He is deep in concentration with a book in his left hand and a quill scribbling away in his right.
"Damn, Sometimes I forget that you're the kind of nerd who likes to actually study when you ask to study with friends." I smirk, waiting for his head to turn in my direction.
He takes a second to finish his sentence before he looks up at me. The moment his eyes are focused on me his face turns from happy to confused to shocked and finally to stunned.
"Holy shit Y/N, I thought they were all joking" He says, stunned.
"What do you mean" I grimace as I sit down in the chair next to him.
Oh No, he thinks I look terrible!
"Well, uh" Regulus mumbles.
Regulus doesn't mumble, ever. This is bad.
He clears his thought before finishing his sentence " Well, there has been some talk. People saying that you look....Different. I didn't believe them because, well, you can't change so dramatically in a day but.... I guess I was wrong"
My last sliver of a smile drops into a frown. I feel heat spread across my face and in this moment I can't help but feel embarrassed. He thinks i'm hideous doesn't he.
"I look horrible don't I" I mutter, looking at the bookcase in front of me, gaining a sudden interest in the names of the books.
"No, No, you do not look horrible. Im sorry if I gave the impression that different means horrible. You look really good actually" Regulus blurts out causing my head to snap over to his direction.
His face is growing pink from embarrassment. "I look good?" I say with a slight grin spreading across my face.
"Well yeah, I mean it's not like you didn't look good before but you look significantly older. your facial features are also more mature. Im sorry uh let's just move past this subject" Regulus says in a hurry.
Holy shit, i'm making him nervous. Maybe I can have a bit of fun with this.
"Wait, you think I look good?" I smirk.
"Wel-, I-, subject change please" He stutters, getting redder in the face than he was before.
"Do you think the guy I like will go out with me now?" I smile, not listening to his pleas.
