The Plan
*Evan and James get paired together in potions for an assignment. They're sitting at James’ desk facing each other with a piece of parchment in the middle.*
Evan: Of course i get paired with perfect potter
James: Surely I can't be that bad?
Evan:It could be worse i guess
James: If you got to pick who would you have gone with?
Evan: probably Barty
James:Ohh yeah. I forgot you have a boyfriend.
Evan: Barty isn’t my boyfriend.
James: Really? I can see the chemistry from across the room.
Evan: Yeah but he's too stupid to realise and im too scared to talk.
James: Too bad you can't just get him to realise his feelings for you.
Evan: He'll probably realise once i've moved on with someone else.
James: That's it! That's how you get him to realise!
Evan: By moving on?
James: No! By dating someone else or fake dating!
Evan: Who would fake date someone?
James: I'll do it.
Evan: Why what's in it for you?
James: That's for me to work out and you to find out after.
Evan: so you'll really do it?
James: Yeah but I need instructions or rules.
Evan: Sure, I can do that.
James: lets do rules.
Evan: okay rule 1 wherever i go my friends go.
James: So parties and such?
Evan: who said anything about parties.
James: my rule 1 is You have to go to all of my parties unless you have a valid reason not to.
Evan: Is not wanting to a valid reason?
James: Anyways, The second Crouch shows interest we stop.
Evan: unless there's a reason we can't then yeah.
James: We need lots of pda then. ‘Cause people know I like to go all out and stuff.
Evan: Great now I guess we need to do something later to show everyone?
James: Yeah I'll work it out don't worry.
Evan: By the way I'm only okay with sitting with the gryffindors if no one makes comments.
James: So no gryffindor seating then.
Evan: Shake on it then.
*The two boys shake hands as the bell goes to signal the end of class.*
Evan: See you later then.
James: See ya.
*Later in the great hall. James is sitting next to Sirius and Remus at the table. Peter had gone to meet a secret person. Evan walks in surrounded by his friends but as soon as James sees him he stands up and walks towards him.*
Barty: What do you want potter?
Regulus: Did my brother send you?
*James ignores the two and goes straight for evan. He whispers a hello then kisses him. After hearing a few gasps he walks back to his seat and sits down.*
Sirius: James. What the fuck was that? Why are you fraternising with the enemy?
*James doesn't hear any of this as he is watching the way barty is looking between Evan and himself. He also looks towards regulus to see how he feels but as usual his expression is unreadable. James zones back in as all his friends are now questioning what just happened.*
James: I'm going up to the room for a bit.
___________________________________________________________
*Its midnight and James cant sleep.There is a thunderstorm outside so he decides to go watch the rain for a bit. He grabs his cloak and goes to the astronomy tower to find theres someone already there.*
James: Hey reggie
Regulus: Don't call me that
James: sorry
Regulus: Why are you here potter?
James: I couldn't sleep
Regulus: Me either
James: Do you like thunderstorms?
Regulus: Yeah, do you?
James: It reminds me that sometimes even the earth needs to cry a bit and its okay for me to. So yeah I guess I do.
Regulus: when did you and evan happen?
James: didn't he tell you?
Regulus: he didn't tell me much really. Just that we’d be spending more time with gryffindors. But Barty wasn’t happy.
James: Well we are having a party tomorrow so be prepared for fun. And drinking. Lots of drinking.
Regulus: Ill let the others know.
James: Are you sure you're okay reggie?
Regulus: What have I told you about that name? *He pushes james against the wall with his wand at his neck*
James: It'll grow on you
Regulus: It wont
James: Is it wrong to feel a bit aroused right now?
Regulus: Yes. It's mentally wrong and also wrong because you're dating one of my mates. Why didn't you get your wand out when I did?
James: I left it on the couch I think.
Regulus: How's sirius?
James: He's good I think. But he misses you.
Regulus: He left me. Not the other way around. He. Left. Me.
James: He had to though.
Regulus: I'm not talking about this now.
James: I'll come back another time.
Regulus: dont.
*Regulus walks out and leaves James alone with his thoughts.*
