Thursday, September 22nd, 1977

Weeks had past, and Barty didn't seem to be picking up on the hints Evan was dropping. The entire time, Evan had been calling Barty names like "darling", and "love", but Barty hadn't seemed to even notice.

Evan confided in Regulus about it, and he said Barty was probably just avoiding it, thinking he was imagining it. So Evan decided he'd tell him outright.

Evan and Barty had their first class together; potions.

Evan mistakingly decided to show up to to class a few minutes late.

"Mr Rosier, is there a reason you're late to my class?" Slughorn asked, in his usual condescending voice.

"I slept in" Evan said bluntly. Slughorn sighed and Evan approached Barty's cauldron. There was already another girl there, chatting with Barty. Evan pushed her out of the way and dropped his bag.

"What the fuck?" She exclaimed. "Move, hoe" Evan muttered. She scoffed and crossed the room to work with someone else.

"What was that?" Barty asked, raising his brow.

"She was in my spot"

"You haven't worked here since last year"

"No, I know. But it's my spot" Evan said with a sort of finality in his voice, hoping that Barty understood the implication.

"Oh. Okay" Barty replied.

Halfway through class, Barty slid a folded piece of parchment across the table.

Evan opened up the note and read it:

Wtf is up with you recently?

Evan looked up at Barty and an ambitious idea popped into his head. He pulled out a quill from his bag and started scribbling down a few words, then slid the parchment back.

I want to get back together.

Barty's eyes widened as he looked up at Evan.

"Are you serious?" Barty whispered.

"No, I'm Evan" Evan smirked. Barty rolled his eyes and said they'd talk about it later. So naturally, class took what felt like a million years to end.

Afterwards, however, Barty dragged Evan out of the classroom and towards an empty corridor.

"Are we talking about it now?" Evan asked.

"Yes, we're talking about it now! Blimey, you can't just drop a bomb like that on me in the middle of class!" Barty ranted.

"My bad. So do you wanna get back together or no? Cause' I've got a man lined up if not" Evan said, referring to Rabastan.

"Obviously I want to get back together, Evan. But we haven't spoken properly in months" Barty expressed.

"I don't care. We can talk now. We can get to know each other's lives again" Evan stated.

"If we get back together, we're not breaking up."

Something about the way Barty said that sparked Evan's interest even more.

"I'm okay with that"

"Okay"

"Okay"

The boys stood in silence, just looking at each other, until someone turned the corner and their privacy was compromised.

"Shouldn't you boys be in class?" They were asked. It was the idiot headmaster, Albus Dumbledore.

"Yes, sir" Barty replied. He grabbed Evan's hand and yanked him down the corridor towards their next class.

Evan saw Dumbledore's eyes twinkle in that annoyingly gay way that they do as they ran down the corridor together.

"We have different classes" Evan pointed out.

"I know. I'll see you later, yeah?" Barty asked, hope pooling in his eyes.

"Yeah, of course"  Evan smiled. Barty smiled back, and before Evan could turn and walk away, Barty spun him back around and kissed him, before pushing him and sauntering to his next class.

This chapter is shorter, I know, I'm sorry. BUT they finally got back together so it's okay.

I was reading through some of my previous chapters and realized I was really missing the Hogwarts element of the story, so I'm gonna try to incorporate it more.

I'm gonna wiz through this year, all the way to Evan's birthday. So next chapter will be a time skip‼️‼️

I love you all, and thank you so much for sticking around during these many months where I've been so inactive and not uploading, I've had a lot on my mind the last few months but now I think I'm in a good enough headspace to write again!

As usual, this is not proofread.

The song at the beginning is Die With a Smile by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga!
