Regulus' life, chapter 3
When Regulus got his timetable, he groaned:
Monday:
Gryffindor and Slitherin, Herbology
Gryffindor and Slitherin, double potions
Hufflepuff and Slitherin, double transfiguration
Ravenclaw and Slitherin, charms
How crappier can a day get? Regulus groaned in thought. He ate his breakfast slowly and then got up to go to the green houses outside.
Herbology was boring, the young professor, Sprout was telling them about safety and things like that. As the Slitherins walked out, a hand tapped Regulus on the shoulder from behind. Regulus turned around swiftly to see who had touched him.
Behind him was a small Gryffindor looking up expectantly (well he was small to Regulus which was not really saying anything as he was quite tall) "What do you want?" Regulus made utter loathing lash out of his mouth with every syllable.
"You dropped this, Sirius Black's brother" the boy handed out a piece of parchment with a scrawled note on it. "I do not associate myself with that little traitor. If you would like to address me which I would prefer you would not, you address me as, Black, or, if you really want too little mudblood, sir" on that Regulus turned around only to be stopped with someone infront of him.
"Regulus Black!" a stern McGonagall stood infront of him
"Hmm?" Regulus said casually
"Thirty points from Slitherin and detention with me at seven o clock"
"What?" he yelped
"You do not talk to students in that manner, do not be late! And I will be writing to your parents" then McGonagall turned on her heel and left oh fuck, detention first day back
Regulus traipsed back to the castle to get to the dungeons for Potions with yet again, another class with the Gryffindors.
Regulus lined up with the other students waiting to be told to go in. "Pssst, Black" Regulus turned around to the familiar voice "What do you want now Montell?"
"Thanks for loosing thirty points, what's the matter with you?"
"Do not blame me, that smarmy mudblood addressed me as 'Sirius Black's brother', I could not tolerate that"
"You could've checked there were no teachers about you prick"
"You know what Montell? You are starting to wear on my nerves" Regulus' eyes were fire by then and Montell backed down slightly in fear.
Regulus had his father's eyes, the same cold grey eyes that burned hatred, which could make anybody cower in fear, Sirius had the same eyes as Regulus, but they seemed to be soft and what girls thought were a god sent.
A teacher came out of the classroom, which coursed Regulus to turn around from Montell to see a large man who reminded Regulus of a walrus, his black handle bar moustache and his portly belly. Regulus recognised him as the Slitherin head of house.
The twenty students filed into the classroom, some of the Gryffindors were muttering to there friends, but the Slitherins were completely silent as the whole lot of them had seen Regulus telling Montell to back off, and they did not want to be on the wrong side of Regulus.
Regulus sat down at the back of the classroom. As soon as the class had settled down the door burst open and Sophia appeared "Sorry I'm late sir, I got lost", the teacher nodded so Sophia sat down, next to Regulus, Regulus gave a stiff smile.
"What's the matter?" she whispered putting a hand on his forearm, which was resting on the desk
"I just got a detention for calling a mudblood a, mudblood; he addressed me as 'Sirius Black's brother'. However that McGonagall woman was behind me, she took thirty points off of Slitherin, and then Montell got on my case"
"He's a prick, don't worry about that guy, he just thinks of himself and how many girls he can bed within the year, so don't listen to him" Sophia smiled her sweet kind smile, she then gave Regulus a kiss on one of his thin cheeks.
Regulus shifted his arm slightly to dislodge her hand, so he could entwine his fingers with hers, "Mr Black, Ms Rockwood, I would appreciate it if you did not talk in my lesson while I am explaining things, five points each from Slitherin"
Regulus rolled his eyes and covered his eyes with his other hand as to not seem if he was blaming her, who of course he was not, he fancied this girl after all. The professor had addressed himself as, Professor Slughorn.
He was telling the class which potions they would be studying and so on, boring really, Regulus' mind had wondered long before, his and Sophia's hands were still entwined, which he liked.
Regulus stretched his long legs out and leaned back on two legs, groaning as his muscles stretched in a pleasant way. "Mr Black, would you care to repeat what I have just said?"
"Huh?"
"As I thought, I shall speak with you after the lesson, I am not happy with your behaviour" this time Regulus could not take it he stood up tearing his hand away from Sophia who tried to grab his arm and pull him back down but his anger was getting the best of him.
"Look, I don't know what it is about this place and trying to get me into trouble, but it does. However, you cannot keep me behind just for spacing out for a couple of minutes. I do it all the time when I find something not of any use, my tutor taught me all of this while I was seven, so you can just stick that up you're…"
"Regulus Black!" a high-pitched screech came from the door
"Shiite" Regulus whined, it was professor McGonagall
"You have already got a detention with me! Why are you disrupting Professor Slughorn's lesson?"
"Because it's boring Professor" he drawled father like Lucius
"Come with me" Sophia stood up and caught Regulus with her lips, which coursed a bit of wolf whistling throughout the classroom, he groaned quietly in the kiss "Now please!" Regulus pulled back
"Don't get expelled please"
"Don't worry, if my parents are involved they will stop any expelling to do with me" Sophia smiled and let him go.
