-ON HIATUS- The Stages Before a Lovers Quarrel ~ A Jegulily and Wolfstar Fanfic

#17

"I beg of you, just let me copy your homework. I'm struggling." Barty slammed his books down on the table at the library next to Evan and Regulus. They were catching up on some assignments from earlier this year. Not that they needed the extra points.

"I would rather die than get in trouble helpingy you cheat," Evan mused.

"I'll dumb mine down to make it sound like you, if you want. But you probably won't get as many marks."

"Yes! Reggie, you are the most amazing friend ever! Unlike this guy."

Evan rolled his eyes.

"Don't call me that, my name's Regulus. Otherwise, I will watch your pain and misery as Evan and I hand in our homework, and when you can't, I will find immense joy in knowing that you'll be tortured with boredom that night in detention."

"Jeez! Dramatic much!" Barty moved to hide behind a nearby bookshelur homf. The three of them laughed only to get shushed by the librarian and glares from students.

Later that night, after dinner, a scroll was thrown at Barty's head as he relaxed on the sofa in Slytherin common room.

"Ow! Regulus, why do you have to abuse me this way? We're friends!"

"It's only a piece of parchment. I would hardly call that 'abuse'." He shrugged. "Besides, you should be thanking me. That's your homework right there."

"Oh yes, thank you, my lord and saviour Regulus Black, for hitting me in the head with the homework you so kindly did for me." He waved his arm around, making a big spectacle of his thanks.

Evan cackled. "What's up with you? Trying to summon a demon?"

"Considering Reggie's cousin Bellatrix just walked in, I'd say it worked."

"It's Regulus."

"You're no fun!"

"Regulus. Walk with me." Bellatrix ordered.

"See you guys later." He waved.

"If you don't die first!" Barty called out after him as he stepped through the portrait.

Regulus rolled his eyes. "Hello Bella."

"Regulus." She nodded. "How are you settling?" She asked coldly.

"Bella, it's over halfway through the year. I've been well settled for a while now." He tensed up. "Bella is something wrong?"

"Stop calling me Bella! My name is Bellatrix." She turned away from Regulus.

"Talk to me Bella- uh- Bellatrix."

"Mother and Father, they want Cissa to- to- join him," She cried. "Let's go somewhere more private, Cousin." They walk through the dungeons looking for a private corridor, an empty classroom, anything.

"But Cissa, she's only-"

"I know," she cut off. "We need to do something. They take me and not her, that was the deal from the start."

"Bella, think about this. If we do anything we'll be disowned." Regulus tried to reason.

"I know!" She screamed. "I- I was thinking you could recruit... you know, Sirius. I mean our parents already hate him for the Gryffindor-ism. And it's no secret that he prefers the company of Mudbloods and Bloodtraitors over, well over his own family. So, I thought there'd be no problem if he took the fall."

"What? Bellatrix, Sirius is my brother! I'm not going to do that to him." Regulus shouted.

"If you don't, you can take the fall with him! 'Fucking children, both of them' I'll say. Just to buy Narcissa another year or so." 

The tear poured down young Regulus' face. "How would we even help?"
