A/N-Ola my loves! Here's the next chapter, and I'm not happy with the no reviews thing. :| Won't you want me to be happy???
--
I sharp tug at my arm made me topple over backwards and away from Regulus. He looked triumphant and was smiling at me with a look on his face that definitely wasn't expected on a Slytherin. I glared at whoever assaulted me from behind. Of course, Black.
"Can't you leave me alone?" I barked.
"It's you who isn't leaving me alone."
"You're the one who pulled me away from a very good kiss."
"I bet you'd get poisoned in a few hours. I hope the venom doesn't spread."
"And I hope your head doesn't get any bigger, or you won't be on the ground much longer, since it'll be full of air."
"At least I don't kiss five different guys over the weekend."
"I'm very happy that you don't since that would mean that you're gay."
"You know very well how girls apply to me in that way."
"How would I know?"
"Because you're the first one I practiced on."
I glowered at him furiously.
"Cat caught your tongue?"
"Shut up." I snarled.
"Yes, because you were my sure way to be a good snogger. Thanks for that."
"You have five seconds."
"Alright then, anyone want to try out the expertise?" he offered his arms to a blonde girl who leapt into them.
They started playing tonsil hockey while I gagged. "Five, four, three, two..."
I took out my wand and pointed it at him. He stopped to look at me. "Thanks, love." he told the blondie and patted her on her arse as she walked away, winking.
"You going to hex me?" he said coolly, bringing out his wand. "Give it a shot, I need a worthy opponent."
"Reggie, will you come at me again? Did you hear that he needed a worthy opponent? I guess he meant at the game tonsil hockey," I said in a sweet voice at Regulus.
Regulus complied, just to annoy his brother. Of course, there must have been some weird feeling coursing through his body as well, but I was generally happy when I wrapped my legs around his hips. And I was delighted when he held my ass to keep me there.
Unfortunately, Sirius wasn't one to ever lose a battle. He took another one of the girls from his fanclub and stuck his tongue down her throat. A brunette this time!
I remained oblivious as I noticed that Regulus carried me away to the dungeons to get to the Slytherin common room.
We laughed like crazy when we slammed ourselves down onto the green sofa. Regulus had tears in his eyes from the laughing.
"Keep this up and he'll be ready to tear me apart by Monday morning!" he said gleefully.
"Bet you ten galleons that he'll start hitting your face again at dinner tonight." smiled Miggy mischievously.
"You're on," Regulus shook his hand. "Want in on it Alex?"
"Sure, by this afternoon," I smirked, tossing my ten galleons into the small green galleon bag. Now I gained twenty galleons! I was sure of it.
Afternoon.
"Lay off her, dearest brother!" Sirius flung his fist into Regulus' nose. That was so easy.
I put my palm upwards flat to Miggy, and he grudgingly handed over the thirty galleons. "Nice doing business with you." I slipped the pouch inside my shirt and into the nook of my cleavage.
"Alright, break it off Sirius," I said, going near them and casting a Shield Charm between them. I put the ice that I readied on Regulus' face. Potter was standing beside Black, wondering why the hell was his best mate was fighting over a Slytherin girl.
"It's Hernandez, Padfoot!" he said indignantly. "You're losing your head to a Slytherin!"
"S'not my fault that she was a cute little girl with pigtails and ended up a pretty little manipulator when she grew up."
"Mate, she's not worth it. Get over it."
"I'd like to see you try with Evans."
"That's different and she already agreed to go on a Hogsmeade trip with me."
I saw Blacks' eyes bulge in disbelief. "She fell that hard easily? I thought she hated you!"
Potter shrugged. "Guess that phase is over, just like it to happen."
"C'mon then, let's just blow up something in the Astronomy tower to get my mind off things." he muttered, turning his back and heading up the Marble Staircase. "Bye, Hernandez."
"Black," I called back curtly. I turned to Regulus, standing and rubbing his jaw. "Thanks for letting us bet on your well being."
"No problem, his eye will swell later anyway. And that bloody lip of his won't heal for a long time, and his nose will be like mine if he ever caused me permanent damage. I just wished he's stop hitting my jaw, I need it to eat."
My face was a mask of silence, and my footsteps were light as a shodow lurking in the darkness. I really didn't want Regulus to get involved with me. Somehow, I found myself craving for him just as much as I craved for the other Black. But I was unstable now, and I couldn't bear him to stand my childish plays.
"I'd rather have an early dinner now," I giggled, looping my arms through Miggys' and Regulus'. "I'm starving and I hope you won't mind seeing me fling the food into my mouth."
"No problem," he laughed. "Plonker." Regulus added.
Then I had an idea popping into my mind. "I'll be right back."
I squirmed out of their arms, which was quite hard, considering they were buff, except Regulus, who was long and lanky but still awe-worthy. I rushed past a whole bunch of people and kept heading up until I reached the Astronomy Tower. Sure enough, Potter and Black were there, a threatening thing in their hands, about to drop it from the high window.
"Ummm...hey?" I said nervously, I wasn't exactly on good terms with them now was I? And I definitely got a higher rank on their hit list right after what I've done over the weekend.
Their inquisitive eyebrows shot up with a mixture of incredulity and annoyance. I couldn't blame them for thinking what this bitch was doing at this moment when they were obviously doing something they'd rather not have anyone see.
"Why are you here?" Black asked politely, hiding the thing behind his back. "To have something to blackmail with?"
"No, I came to propose something."
"You're going to ask me to propose to you?"
"No, I was thinking of having a party."
"Why?"
"Am a bit bored."
"Why do you need our help?"
"Because my standing in school alone would not bring people to get a good party," I murmured quietly.
"Excuse me? I didn't hear you." Potter interjected, putting his palm behind his ear and leaning forward to make an exaggeration--and sticking it to my face that I needed them. "Would you speak louder?"
"You big git," I fumed.
"Sorry, we don't hekp ungrateful and rufe people."
I sighed. "I need your help. People wouldn't come to a Slytherin party, you know that more than any of them. My social standing will bring a couple of respectable people to come, but everyone else would be too afraid to come."
"There you are," Black crossed his arms. The thing magically appeared behind Potters' back. "Wasn't it easy to admit that we bring the people in?"
I gritted my teeth together and shut my mouth. I didn't want to say something that would get them angrier. I wanted a party for some reason. It was so dull, this second week of school.
"Pretty please?" I made my eyes go as big as I could, and it was a huge accomplishment, considering I had very chinky eyes. "I won't be a bother. I would help out and everything. You guys will be my bosses."
How utterly wrong that last bit sounded. It was like I enslaved myself to them.
The two of them looked at each other, then Black said, "Deal."
"But we have one condition," Potter said.
"Tell."
"You won't be dating any of your Slytherin lot while you're planning the party with us and we have full access to you any time of the day," Black said seriously.
"Only while I'm planning the party?" I asked tentatively.
Potter looked at Black like it was his choice. Of course it was. Black weighed his options and looked me in the eye and said,"On second thought, you won't be dating any of your Slytherin lot while you're here at Hogwarts. You can invite them at the party of course, but it'll be better if you don't date any of them."
Damn. I was trying to find a loophole. Of course, there was one other loophole that I could get out of. Black didn't want me to date anyone. He didn't say that I couldn't date other people outside my House. And he didn't say anything about me being sweet with my Slytherins but not technically being together with them.
"All right then," I extended my hand. "Let's shake on it."
The two of them stared at my hand in wary, but seeing that I didn't intend to trick them, they each took turns shaking it quickly.
"Excellent doing business with you gentlemen," I smiled and started walking down the spiral stairs.
I felt so intensely alone.
