karma
true to his word, regulus flirted with a waiter the whole rest of the evening. by the end of the day, regulus had left early to go back to the waiters room.
fucks sake, james was furious. he tried to stop regulus but he couldn’t. he was going to kill that fucking waiter.
next day
lily sat in mary’s lap as she stroked her hair.
Marlene was out, so they were the only ones in the dorm.
“mary, i have something to ask you.” lily spoke up.
“go for it.”
“when are we gonna tell people. about us?” lily asked.
“i don’t know lily. i don’t think i’m ready yet. no one even knows i like girls. they think i’m like obsessed with men.”
Lily frowned. Of course, she wasn’t going to force mary to come out, but they had been dating for a few reeks now.
They sat in silence for a few minutes.
“someone asked me out . they asked if i wanted to go for a study date in the library” Mary was surprised.
“oh. what did you say?” she asked
“no obviously. but yeah i just thought you should know.”
“right.”
“mary what is it?”
“why would you tell me that? i’m just not ready to come out yet, why won’t you understand that?”
“mary of course i understand. i just said it randomly okay? it was awkward here so i brought up a conversation.” lily scoffed.
“of course. i need to go.” mary got up and started packing all her things.
“what the fuck? mary come on don’t be-“ lily started .
“no i’m leaving. you should go on that date.” she walked out the door and slammed it behind her.
“YEAH WELL MAYBE I WILL” lily shouted. she immediately regretted it. of course she wasn’t going to. she really liked mary. but right now, she was devastated.
“lily it’s okay. it was just one little argument. you’ll be fine i promise.” James was consoling lily, since she had come to his dorm in tears. since he was the only one who knew about mary and lily, she went to him.
“i didn’t mean to . i just- i’m not forcing her to come out. it was an accident.” she sniffled.
“it’s okay . i’m sure she’ll understand.”
“okay. distract me. let’s talk about something else. how about you and evan? you seem closer then ever.”
“yeah well i guess we are. we really like eachother” James hated lying to his best friend, especially since she was just crying in his arms.
“what about regulus? i could’ve sworn you were in love with him.” lily recalled
“uhm well i did like him. but not anymore. i only like evan. “ he muttered.
“hm alright then. let’s go get some food from the kitchen. i’m hungry.”
James and Evan were,yet again, sat next to each other at the table. Regulus and Barty were there too, along with dorcas and pandora. James kept looking at regulus, not forgetting their last conversation.
“james, can you help me with this? i know you’re a genius at transfiguration. i don’t get this homework” evan pushed his homework towards james and pointed out the part he didn’t understand.
Of course , they weren’t actually dating, but they had become good friends. With all the ‘dates’ and spending time together, they actually have fun.
“yeah of course love” james explained it to him.
“ahh fuck thanks. i have literally been confused since forever. hate transfiguration.” evan muttered.
“no . shut up. it’s one of my favourite subjects.”
“james it’s the worst. potions is much better”
“evan you cant seriously think that”
“i do and you can’t think transfiguration is the best-“ evan got cut off by someone talking.
“i have an idea. why don’t we don’t we all go play quidditch tomorrow? it’s a saturday so we’ll have the whole day. i haven’t played for fun for ages. you down?” barty pointed his question at regulus , evan and james.
“hey remus maybe you can commentate again?” barty laughed. Remus rolled his eyes.
“i’ll have you know i was great at that. i was
fired because i was too good.” he said
“of course you did. actually, how about i teach you to fly? and you can play after as well” barty suggested.
“why not? you better be a good teacher crouch.” remus smirked
“only the best around”
At this whole interaction, Sirius’ eyes blazed. He could play , he could teach remus. why would remus let barty teach him but not sirius? oh shit, what if he didn’t like sirius anymore? he loved remus, he couldn’t just-
“you alright pads?” remus put his hand on sirius’ shoulder.
“yeah remu. i’m okay.” he smiled. remus kissed him on his head and held his hand.
what would sirius do without him?
“alright everyone! so me and remus will be practicing over there, the 4 of you can play in teams of 2 until we come back” barty yelled, and took remus to the other side of the pitch to practice .
“okay so here’s your broom. do you know how to mount it?” barty asked.
“um. jump on it?” remus guessed sheepishly
barty laughed.
“that would work, but you could hurt yourself. here, watch me.” barty demonstrated, and mounted his broom.
remus attempted to do this, but fell countless times. barty couldn’t stop laughing.
finally, remus got on successfully.
“there we go! now, sort of lean in, to go forward.”
remus leaned in a bit too deep, and ended up zooming straight into barty.
they landed on a heap on the floor, laughing as they got up.
on the other side of the pitch, evan’s eyes were glued to barty and remus. when they landed on eachother and laughed, evan wanted to attack remus. and barty.he had the nerve to flirt with remus infront of evan. bitch. evan looked over at sirius to see he was mirroring evan’s face.
he was glaring at them, and looked like he wanted to snap barty’s neck. evan couldn’t blame him.
however, evan knew all he had to do to get back at barty, was fly very very close to james. maybe a bit of flirting , and a few kisses. so he did exactly that.
he flew up to james
“barty is watching and i want to make him mad. let me kiss you.” evan whispered.
“ah young love. evan and bar-“ james couldn’t finish his sentence, since evan grabbed his face and kissed him.
he could feel barty’s glare on the back of his head. whatever. karma.
fucks sake evan. why did he always do that infront of barty? fuck him. two can play at that game.
“hey remus. evan is being a dick and i want to
piss him off” barty asked remus.
“okay, but how are you going to do that?”
barty whispered his plan in remus’ ear.
“alright. i’ll do it, but you are gonna have to explain to sirius. he is gonna kill you.” remus laughed.
barty helped remus get on his broom again, and then got on his own. he flew very close to remus, who was about to fall. barty grabbed him, and held his hips. he kept his hands there, and sort of guided remus.
“sirius is gonna end you mate. i think this is hilarious but he is a jealous fucker. love him for it though” remus warned.
“ah it’s alright i’ll explain. anyways , evan’s looking” barty then leaned down and whispered in remus’ ear. he said some stupid shit and made remus laugh, which just infuriated evan.
“okay i’m done now. thanks for your help lupin.”“it’s no problem crouch. now go tell sirius before he sets you on fire.”
sure enough, barty turned to see sirius , who looked like he was going to murder barty. he flew over to him,
“okay okay befote you kill me, i was trying to make evan jealous okay? i’m not after your boyfriend. he’s yours. i don’t like him like that. ask him if you want it was a plan. now please don’t kill me.” barty rushed to say.
“good. i would’ve skinned you alive crouch”
“i don’t doubt it black”
