Chapter 4
Regulus’s POV:
We were sitting in the great hall for dinner.
Barty's beside me, with Evan across from us. We had always rotated who sat where in the great hall. Ever since first year. We had never talked about it. It was just natural. This is just how it is.
Me and Barty were laughing at something that Evan had said when some random girl I had never seen before walked over to us and sat right next to Evan. She wraps her arms around his arm and lays her head on his shoulder.
I grabbed Barty's hand as I felt him reach for his wand. I wasn’t completely sure if I was stopping him or myself from hexing the Gryffindor who was touching our boyfriend.
Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Lupin grab James.
James, who looked pissed.
I looked back to a very uncomfortable Evan trying to shove the Gryffindor off of him without causing a scene.
“Can you get off me?” Evan bit out as he pushed at the girl.
That's when I realized, no Gryffindor would so openly throw herself at a Slytherin. Even if she is a known slut.
It took me a minute but I recognized the girl as a well-known slut. She was apparently a good fuck who doesn't kiss and tell.
But the way she was reaching for Evan’s forearm, told me exactly what she was looking for.
The dark mark.
The three of us were supposed to get it over the summer. In about 6 months.
Sirius had a plan to get me to the Potter's house, but Barty and Evan had no escape.
I knew what was about to happen. This girl was either going to get her way, or she was going to show the whole school Evan’s “dark mark”. The only flaw in her plan was that Evan didn't have a dark mark yet.
I poked Barty in the side and nodded to what she was doing. If she showed the school Evan’s arm, then she would clear Evan’s name from the suspicion of him being a death eater.
His other arm had already been shown during potions when he rolled his sleeve up to retrieve Pandora's bracelet that had fallen into a bucket of water.
Evan looked at both of us with a look of ‘What am I supposed to do?’
I nodded at his arm and I could tell the second he got it.
He shoved the girl off of him and she ripped his sleeve where she was clutching to it. His entire, bare, forearm was exposed to her.
The look of shock on her face was priceless.
“Not what you were expecting, is it?” Evan asked as she got up and ran off.
Evan sat back at the table and before he even had a chance to speak, James was beside him, holding his arm much more gently than the Gryffinslut had.
He checked his arm over and then, to the surprise of all of us, kissed his arm where the slut had left scratch marks.
James stayed for the rest of dinner and then walked us back to our common room. He left each of us with a kiss on the cheek like we had done to him and walked away.
As we walked back to our dorm we knew that something had just changed between us.
The jealousy that me and Barty had felt, wasn't fake.
James’s gentleness could have easily been a show, though. We all knew how far James was willing to go for a prank.
