Chapter 1
Evan leaned against the wall as he glared at Regulus and Barty who were currently making out in the middle of the party. He wasn't quite sure which one of them he was glaring at the moment. He was mad at both of them.
But James Potter walking up to him did not help his anger either.
"What the fuck do you want Potter?" Evan asked without looking over at the boy. Or rather up at the boy. Evan definitely would have had to look up. Potter was tall, and it did not help that Evan was almost as short as regulus.
"Are you going to have a proper conversation with me or are you going to continue starring daggers at the back of regulus' head," Potter asked.
Evan turned his head so fast he almost got a whiplash, his glare now fixed on Potter. "What do you want?" Evan asked again.
"To help you," Potter said honestly.
Evan snorted. "How could you help me."
James shrugged. "You like Barty and I like Regulus."
"And they're dating."
James nodded. "Fake dating."
Evan's cool uncaring anger demeanor changed instantly. "They're what?!" He choked out.
"Fake dating. To make us jealous."
"And how do you know this?" Evan asked, still trying to wrap his mind around it.
"Pete told me."
"Fuck."
You never doubted what Peter Pettigrew said. Ever. Especially about something like this.
James nodded.
"But back to my point, how are you going to help me?" Evan questioned.
"We fake date as well." James proposed.
Evan hesitated. And then he looked over to where Regulus and Barty were dancing and kissing and laughing. Evan looked back at James who was looking at him expectantly.
"I'll do it," Evan replied.
James' face broke into a grin.
"Oh thank merlin!" He exclaimed.
Evan rolled his eyes. "Don't get too excited there, Potter."
"Call me James. We're dating aren't we?" The taller boy said.
Evan couldn't help but laugh.
This was going to be fun.
