Chapter 1
slytherins are dicks.
regulus realised that as soon as he walked into the common room after he begged the sorting hat to put him in slytherin.
slytherins are the type of people you see hexing muggle borns in the corridors because they're not of 'pure blood'.
the type of people who become death eaters and go to azkaban.
sometimes he wishes he let the sorting hat put him in ravenclaw like it was supposed to, the ravenclaws who study in little clusters in the library, who debate for the fun of it. he could see himself there in the blue common room with the walls and walls of books.
but then he remembers his mother, what she would do to him if he was put in ravenclaw. just like when sirius was put in gryffindor.
regulus black is smart, he is thorough, he never does something without a plan, his best friend pandora always says that he thinks things over 3 times before he does them. thats why he was so surprised when he didn't think about walking up to that 7th year slytherin who was hexing a muggle born hufflepuff
when he didn't think about McGonagall just down the corridor.
when he didn't think about putting his wand up to the slytherins head and muttering stupefy.
didn't think when he lay unconscious on the ground in front of him.
but then he did think.
"oops"
"OOPS! THATS ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF BLACK! THIS IS DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOR. YOU WILL HAVE DETENTION ALL OF THIS MONTH EVERY DAY, NO EXCUSES. DO YOU HEAR ME?"
McGonagall is furious, there might as well be steam coming from her ears its kind of funny in an absolutely terrifing way.
"yes, professor"
she storms away flipping her robes in regulus's face. well shit. that just happened.
"shit reg, that was really stupid but also the coolest thing I've ever seen"
he turns around to face pandora, who he'd been walking with when it happened.
she covers her mouth trying to hide a laugh, then they both collapse with laughter and giggles in the middle of the 4th floor corridor,
"oh m- oh my god McGonagall face was priceless! and that slytherin merlin!" she says between giggles.
after about 10 minutes they finally compose themselves, brushing down their cloaks and hair,
"merlin reg you are certainly something," pandora says her face still bright red.
"haha, come on panda lets go to dinner" he holds out his arm, " may ?" he asks in a posh tone.
pandora stifles more laughter as she loops her arm through his, " why thank you kind sir"
