Yes, this is too early for Halloween, but I post it anyway. Slight one-sided LE/SS, but only in words.

I am of the firm belief that Regulus is just as annoying as his older brother, only with different people, and he hides it better.

Summary: Regulus Black persuades Snape to go to the Halloween dance. NO SLASH! Just spoken words, no labels, and feel free to call it if it gets confusing.


"Come on! You've got to go!"

"I'm. Not. Going."

"Just because Evans is going out with the Ravenclaw what's-his-name-"

"I'm not going to go. Leave me alone."

"Come on."

"No."

"Hmph. I bet you don't even know how to dance."

"That's right. Go away."

"You don't?"

"Shoo. Leave. Go dance."

"You have to go. I'll have Sirius make you. And it will be ten times more embarrassing for you."

"I thought you weren't on speaking terms?"

"A few bruises will be worth it. And they'll add to my authenticity as a pirate."

"I don't want to."

"I'm getting Sirius. See, here I go, la dee da de da."

"All right, fine. I'll go."

"What's your costume going to be?"

"I'm sure you'll see. At the dance. Now go, I'll be up in a few minutes."

"Uh-huh, sure you will. I'll be outside the door."

"Suit yourself, peg-legged coot."

"What was that."

"I said, 'Suit yourself, and get moving.'"
