detention
regulus and pandora walked towards the dungeons from dinner, pandora had insisted upon walking him there.
"pan you really didnt have to walk me y'know" he said
"i know reggie but i dont want you getting lost again. remember last time you got lost in the dungeons?"
she replies almost bursting with laughter. he can feel his cheeks going pink at the mention of that incident.
"shut upppp that was like in 1st year i barely knew my way around" he lies.
theyre at the door to the room he was told to go for detention today and he reaches out to open it,
"sure reg first year cough*third year*cough. i still remember you were.........."
pandoras voice dies out as he opens the door 5 pairs of eyes staring up at him.
"well shit reggie, good luck honey" she says before turning on her heel and practically sprinting away.
"fuck you pandora" he mutters as he walks inside closing the door behind him. of course he has detention with the four people he hates most in the world, the marauders.
yay.
the room is engulfed with an awkward silence before professor slughorn speaks up,
"right mr black, lovely to see you again. but not so lovely under such circumstances is it now?"
when regulus doesnt answer he continues anyway,
"right, well take a seat next to mr potter and we will begin."
regulus reluctantly walks over and takes the seat next to james potter, he can feel the four boys eyes drilling into him in wonder,
"brilliant, now boys im going to have to go but i will trust that you stay in this room and get on with the set work, you will each be writing a speech which you will perform at the end of the detention. your speech will be about what you have done to be here, a sort of reflection you might say. alrighty then boys! ill pop in to check on you all in about an hour then we can perform the speeches."
he pretty much skips out of the room and regulus sees the lock click.
they sit in an awkward silence for a few seconds before regulus picks up his quill and dips it in the ink,
"are you actually going to do the work then?" a voice from behind him speaks up.
he doesnt even have to turn to know whos it is, he could recognize sirius's voice anywhere.
"yep" he replies shortly.
another awkward silence. merlin why was this so awkward?
"oh in the name of godric! regulus why are you here. arent you supposed to be a good boy who does everything right? what did you do, curse a muggleborn?"
regulus finally turns to look at him, why was he such a nosy brat?
"quite the opposite actually" he replies coldly.
"what? did you hex a pureblood?"
says the boy beside sirius, he was tall and lanky with dirty blond hair. he was pretty sure his name was lupin.
"is that so bloody unbelievable"
regulus replies with spite.
"ha yeah right. regulus black the slimy slytherin curses one of his own. yes, it is unbelievable."
he was getting sick of this.
the discrimination.
that every slytherin was an awful bitch.
"you wanna know what really happened? ok. i saw a slytherin hexing a first year, thought it was wrong so i knocked him out. got detention for it. two moths of this. bloody fucking yay."
he says turning his eyes back to his page.
what the fuck does he write?
that he shouldnt have knocked out that 7th year?
nah that would be lying.
mabye he cou-
before he could finish that thought he felt a searing pain in his side, his hand instinctively went to his side as he looked down.
shit, shit shit shit shit shit.
it was a cut his mother gave him a couple days before his birthday, he had dropped a plate and his mother slashed at him with her wand.
it hurt like a bitch.
he leaned over and grunted in pain, o merlin he cant throw up here.
"reggie? are you ok" came sirius's voice from behind him.
"yep fine....totally fine" he muttered back to him.
oh god he felt even worse now, he started coughing.
"regulus? oh my god what happened to your side?"
came the voice from beside him,
he was feeling faint now.
"reggie!! oh god dont faint please stay awake"
he heart=d a load of commotion around the room before he blacked out.
