Great hall, lack of appetite Reg? and sleepless nights.
When they arrived at the Great Hall the sorting of the first years had been sorted. Most first years didn't sit next to the 7th years due to Barty, who looked terrifying to any first year and Regulus at 3am when Barty decides on pulling a prank. Evan swallowed his chicken and looked at Regulus who was pushing potatoes around his plate , Looking down, his face solemn and straight. Evan turned to Barty and whispered in his ear, "Regulus is of, isn't he?"
Barty leaned back on the bench, looking at the the quiet Regulus. He leaned back and whispered back to Evan, "You don't think he had a relapse?" Asked Barty, concern edging his voice.
"I don't think so, it just doesn't seem likely." Said Evan, glancing at Regulus. "I think he's just not hungry maybe?"
"Oi, Reg, lack of appetite Reg?" Said Barty over Evans head, half sitting, half standing. Regulus turned to him, staring at him. "I ate at James' before we came to school, and on the train I ate quite a few snacks, so no, I'm not very hungry."
"Alright, you sure your ok?" Said Barty. Regulus smiled slightly, "I'm fine, I can assure you that." Barty nodded, sitting down properly. Pandora came back, smiling. "My sister is really happy that she's a Hufflepuff and I'm glad she is too, I just had to reassure her that she'd be fine without me." She sat down, picking up her fork and eating a slice of chicken. Regulus smiled at her, placing his fork and knife down, and getting up. "I'm going to our dorm I need to unpack." Said Regulus walking off to the doors with multiple other Slytherins. James' eyes followed him across the Great Hall, almost as if against his own will. Barty noticed that and beckoned the others to lean in so they could speak without being heard.
"Have you realised that James was staring at Regulus? You don't think something..happened?" Said Barty, looking at them.
"Reg told me they kissed." Said Pandora, "But he doesn't know what it means.". Evan grinned at all this information, "You know what this means right? We have to get them together and fast." They nodded in agreement.
"If you wouldn't mind, I'm going to have to agree with you guys." Said a voice from behind them. Remus John Lupin.
Evan grinned, "My good friend, come here." Remus sat down next to Evan, leaning in to their huddle.
"How are we going to get them together though?" Said Pandora, looking at the 3 boys. It was Remus' turn to grin now. "Theres a Winter masquerade coming up. I heard the teachers talking about it after Sirius and James left for the dorms and I walked past the teachers tables. We need to get one of them to ask out the other, or when the ball is happening that they find one another." Remus spoke, "Look, I have to go, I promised I'd cuddle with Sirius tonight and if I don't he'll kill me with his toddler crankieness. See you later Slytherin skittles."
