Chapter 25- Regulus Black and Unnamed Plans.

It's been about a month since Sirius and I starting dating, taking us to the end of March. It was crazy how fast this school year seemed to have gone and pretty soon we'd be leaving. I couldn't fathom leaving this place, this place that had been my home since I was eleven, it's crazy to even think about.

Sirius was the best boyfriend I ever had, which really isn't saying anything because he's really the only boyfriend I've ever had, not counting James (who was just a fake boyfriend anyway). Don't get me wrong, we still argued way too much, but making up was always the best. Though Sirius, even though I tried, refused to shag me which was the topic of most of our arguments. He wanted to take things slow, I just wanted to get him naked. But somehow, he always won that argument and I would find myself walking out of the dorm, slamming the door on my way just as I did now.

"Lucie!" He screams after me.

"Don't you dare speak to me, Sirius Black!" I yell as I walk down the stairs.

Footsteps follow me.

"I just want to wait!" I hear him say from behind me. "What's so wrong with waiting?"

"You never waited with anyone else!" I say not turning around but continuing on to my dorm.

"No one else mattered like you do!"

"Oh rubbish!" I yell, as I start up the stairs.

I saw him ready to make the charm that would allow him entrance to the dorm and pointed my wand at him.

"Lucie!" He warns.

I flicked my wand once and he fell backwards his back hitting the couch. I flicked my wand again, and I know he'd be stuck there until James came and got him.

"See you tomorrow, Sirius." I said, grinning as I opened my door.

"Another fight?" Lily asks.

I nod my head and flop down on my bed. "I just don't understand why he won't sleep with me! I mean Alice you sleep with Frank." I turn to Lily. "And you and James sleep together right?"

Lily nods her head. "Yes, but James said he loves me. Did Sirius ever?"

I shake my head quickly. "Sweet Merlin, no."

"You act like it would be strange." Alice begins.

"It would be!" I say with a laugh. "Sirius and I don't love each other, however yes; we do like each other a lot, but love? Honestly don't make me laugh."

"Oh Lucie, love, you have a lot to learn." Lily said.

"Yeah whatever," I say closing my eyes. "Night."

"I'm just saying, never say never Lucie." Lily continues. "Good Night."

I roll my eyes and before I know it, I'm asleep.

When I walk down the stairs the next morning, Sirius was there waiting for me. Just like he was every other morning, leaning casually against the back of the couch with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Lucie."

I sigh as I walk up to him and push a stray lock of hair out of his eye.

"Hi."

Just the sound of my voice and he knew. He reached his arms around me, using his hands on my back to pull me close to him. I leaned back so I could see his face.

"Is this over now?"

I nod my head slowly. He smiles slightly and moves into kiss me. I close my eyes and melt into the kiss.

Stupid Sirius Black.

"Well I see this fight didn't last to long." James comments from behind us.

We pull away and Sirius grins at him over my shoulder. "I think her resolve is weakening."

I push away from him and glare. "We can end this little make-up session right now."

"No, that's okay." He says quickly. "I'm just kidding."

I grin triumphantly and turn to James. "Right around my finger." I say while twirling my finger in the air.

"That you do Lu Lu."

"Anyway Lucie." Remus says, popping up suddenly at James' side. "You realize what tomorrow night is right?"

"Of course, Rem." I tell him with a smile. "I haven't forgotten one since first year. Do you think so little of me?"

His lips twitch into a smile as he pulls me towards him in a long hug.

"No Angel, I don't. You mean the world to me."

I pull back and look into his eyes. "Oh Remus!"

"Luella."

He smirked before leaning forward and kissing me right on the mouth, a hand came between us, pushing apart. "Alright, alright." Sirius says.

Rem and I look at each other and start cracking up.

"Doesn't this get old?" He asks.

"Hell no mate." James says before we can answer, clutching his stomach in laughter. "The look on your face every time, just gets me!"

"How would you feel if I kissed Lily?" Sirius asks with a raised eye brow.

"Oh Sirius," I say grabbing his arm and pulling him towards me. "Don't be silly, Lily would never kiss you."

"Don't be so sure." Lily's voice says from behind me. "Sirius is a looker. I might have to take him for myself."

"That's right Lily flower." Sirius says seductively.

I roll my eyes. "Sirius, everyone knows that you only have eyes for little old me."

He turns towards me and kisses my nose. "True statement."

"Okay, now that we established everything, can we get to breakfast." Pete says speaking up for the first time. "I'm starving."

"You're always starving." Sirius and I say in unison.

We look at each other and then we smile.

It was funny the way people looked at Sirius and I now that we're together. It's almost like they were confused, not expecting it at all. A lot of girls were jealous and most try and say mean things behind my back. But I wave it off, because they're not going to have him and that was my victory. Surprisingly Jenna hasn't said anything to me. I guess she's trying to keep her head for graduation.

My thoughts come to a halt as I run into a very tall someone. I stumble back a few steps and blink my eyes up to the face. At first glance I thought it was Sirius, but the green robes told me all that I needed to know.

Regulus.

"You." I snarl.

"Luella." He states coolly.

"What are you doing in this corridor, the dungeons too cold for you?"

"I'm taking a walk." He says simply. "In fact, I'm a little glad I ran into you."

"Is that so?" I ask mockingly. "Trying to rid me of my dirty blood?"

"Actually, no." He states. "I wanted to inform you that my family isn't very happy now that you and Sirius are- well together."

"And you think I give two shits why?"

"Another little fact for you to think about," He begins not answering my question. "Avery has his eye on you."

I stare into those fathomless grey eyes and hold them. "I know. He corners me all the time." I say truthfully.

"He has," He stops trying think of a word. "Plans."

"Plans?"

He nods his head. "I won't be able to assist you anymore than I already have. Even if I may be present when these plans fall into place."

"I wouldn't expect any more than this Regulus."

He nods his head again, quickly in my direction and walks past me.

"Where were you?" Sirius asks, as I enter the Transfiguration class room.

"I got held up."

"By who?" He asks curiously leaning closer to me.

"Filch." I lie flawlessly. "He wanted to know why I wasn't in class. Thought I was up to no good."

"And were you?" He asked with a glint in his eyes.

"Always." I tell him. "I am always up to no good."

Lily confronted me about my quickly planned prank on the slytherin's after I talked with Sirius.

"Lu, you haven't pranked anyone in so long!" She says in exasperation. "What happened?"

"Just felt like it." I said with a simple shrug. "Nothing big."

She glances behind her once, to make sure we're alone in the lavatory.

"Don't tell anyone about this," She whispers. "But I'm kind of glad."

I raise an eye brow. "Okay…..?"

She shakes her head quickly. "The Slytherin's have been acting strange lately. They keep staring at me and whispering things when I walk by."

Could Lily be part of Avery's plan?

"Did it just start happening?" I ask nonchalantly, as I twirled my wand between my fingertips.

"Well sort of. I mean." She stops for a second. "It started right after we got back from-" She left the word funerals hanging in the air.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, Mulciber is the worst. Sometimes he gives me this look like he is undressing me with his eyes…"

Because he probably is. I don't say that though. Instead I shake my head and smile.

"I'm sure it's nothing to do with you Lils, probably some stupid Death Eater stuff."

She nods her head quickly. "Yes, I'm probably just being silly."

"Of course."

"Just- just don't mention my suspicions to James. He'd have a bloody fit if he knew."

Yes, James would have a fit, but what she isn't counting on is me. It's one thing to do something to me. It's another thing entirely to bring Lily into it. Just you wait Mulciber. I'll have you eating out of the palm of my hand.

That night I slipped out of the common room and made my way to the dungeons. After many times of breaking into the Slytherin common room, I've grown accustomed to the password cycle.

"Mudblood." Just the word felt dirty on my tongue and it made me cringe.

But soon enough the door swung open and I was inside. It was cold down here, seeing as the common room was completely submerged under the black lake. The whole room was tinged green from the water. I glanced carefully at the bookshelves I had once cleared and sure enough all those vile books were back. I tutted quietly and made my way up the sixth year male dormitories.

The room was quiet as I slipped inside. Not one single person stirred as I walked around the room, searching for the bed with person I desired to speak with. Except he wasn't here. I clenched my hands into fists and growled in anger.

I pushed the bed hangings open that I was sure was his and rushed quietly down the stairs, just as I was heading for the door it began to open slowly from the outside.

Fuck.

Regulus, the person whom was missing from his bed, was walking through the door. We both stared at each other for a few seconds.

He opened his mouth. "How'd you-"

"STUPEFY!"

A jet of red light shot out of my wand and he crumbled to the floor, unconscious.

I blew on the tip of my wand, a grin stretching across my face.

Perfect.

I waited patiently for Regulus to wake up. I knew my stunning spell was strong, but I had already waited for an hour, this was just getting ridiculous. I banged my head repeatedly on the wall I was leaning against and groaned loudly.

"I wouldn't bang my head on a stone wall if I were you." Regulus said groggily, from the chair he was tied too.

I pushed myself away from the wall, my wand tight in my hand.

"About time you woke up."

He nodded grimly. "Yes well, your spell was a strong one. My chest is a bit numb." He admitted with ease.

"I have that affect."

He looked at me curiously for a moment. "How'd you get into the common room?" He asked finally.

"Easily. I've been doing it for years."

"Interesting because I was in your common room, looking for you."

I stared at him trying not to show my fear that he knew how to get in. Myself knowing how to get into the Slytherin common room wasn't bad. But if Slytherins, death eaters, knew how to access ours. I internally shook my head.

"That's curious." I admit. "What did you wish to discuss."

"I think we both want to discuss the same thing, mind untying me?"

I thought it over for a second and waved my wand once, the ropes sliding off of his body. He stood up, rubbing at his wrists.

"I would apologize." I tell him. "But I'm not really sorry."

"I didn't think you were." He shook his head. "I know you found out about the Evan's girl's involvement."

"How so?"

"Have you ever heard of a girl named Pam Parkinson?"

"Girl with the pug face?" I ask.

He nods a smile twitching at his lips. "Yes, well she happened to be walking by the bathroom when she heard you two speaking. I heard you played off your knowledge very well."

"I'm going to tell you something Regulus, something that no one else knows."

His eyes brows rose in interest.

"I may be a mudblood, interesting choice of password by the way, but I am smart. And I am cunning, and I'm very deceitful. I have been my whole life. I know how to work my way around obstacles so that I can get what I want. I am not a good person, I have never been. And-" I start, looking him straight in the eyes. "The Sorting Hat was going to place me in Slytherin."

He stared at me, his expression unreadable.

"But there were some things in my past. Things that I have lived through that made me a "brave" Gryffindor. The Sorting Hat, when I pleaded, decided to place me there, instead of Slytherin. I have been grateful for that my whole life." I take a step closer to him. "So back to my whole point of the story. I am just as slippery as you lot. I know more things about magic then you realize, so now that Lily is involved I'm not just going to sit around quietly. So now I am going to ask you, what are Avery's plans?"

"Slytherin, eh?" He said with a smirk. "I always thought you'd make a good Slytherin, except for the simple dilemma of your blood status. But I have already told you. I am not going to help you. I was done giving you advice."

"So what did you seek me out for tonight?"

"To give you one more bit of information."

"Alright then, go on." I say with a wave of my hand.

"Mulciber may act like he's interested in Evans, but it is only for Snape. Snape is the one that wants her. And he's willing to do anything to get her away from Potter."

"Regulus, what is going on?" I demand. "What is it? And why are you even trying to help at all?"

"I have a brother." He begins. "And he is in love with a girl, and I won't jeopardize that. Not after he's already lost everything!" His face was red with anger, his grey eyes flashing.

"You think he's in love with me? Don't be silly, Regulus."

"You may not think so, but I know my brother and he knows me." He shakes his head. "There I told you why I was helping. Are we done here?"

"No."

"Listen to me," He says quickly. "I will not help you anymore than this. I am bound to secrecy and oaths that I cannot break. I have found a way around them, but that is all I can do."

"I understand." I say in realization and take a step back against the wall.

"And if you tell anyone that I helped you. Even my brother, I'll kill you. What's the loss of another Mudblood?"

When I hear that dirty word come out of his mouth, I cringe.

"You already know it's the truth." He says in response.

"Maybe." I agree. "But it doesn't hurt any less to hear it said." I admit, glancing up at him with only my eyes.

He looks away. "This conversation is over; I'm going to leave now."

He walks towards the door at a leisurely pace and I can't help but stare after him. He opens the door and just before he walks through he turns back and captures my eyes.

"Keep your head on straight, yeah?"

I nod my head.

The door slams shut and he's gone.
