“Oh really now? Amycus, you know you’d probably have even more trouble convincing him than you would convincing me. I’d love to see how you talk him into that one.”

‘lu? oh, he’d come around. you’d be surprised the lengths he’d go for our friendship besides we’re all fun around here, we should cherish youth as it comes naturally to us.’

oh, how he relished in her touch. melting away as her hand fondly brushed through his hair, enjoying the small touch far more than normal. in the couple of days far from her presence, he had grown to miss her. ‘ i would suspect you’d be on anything but your best behaviour, lec.’ his lips pursed in a sort of smile, eyes drifting from her face out towards the school in the distance. ‘what do you think’s going to happen to us next year? when hogwarts won’t hold us together.’

‘are you not a FAN of my bum, mate? does it lack? whatever, how do you feel about drinks tonight? i’ve recently gotten a very finely aged scotch.’

‘i don’t see anyone admiring you, boney.’

“Oh? You really think I’m going to fall into bed with you just like that, Amycus? Come, you must try a bit harder.”

‘can’t blame me for trying, love. -- what if i invited lucius to join? imagine that: TWO boys a your beck & call.’

he feels her strength, he feels her fear and most of all he feels her calm. when they are together, they are one. one heart, one body and one mind. ‘of course i did. no scum will get the chance to one up me.’ he said, but not defensively, more so with pride. ‘and what have you done in your days away from me?’

‘i didn’t mean to worry you.’ amycus let out a sigh as alecto’s body came in closer, his head leaning against hers and feeling rather blissful. ‘never. we will never have anything between us. it was matters regarding the squibs, unfortunately many of them believe they BELONG here, amongst us. and they had to be told otherwise.’

‘exactly. what if the world ends without the sight of my arse one last time?’

‘MAGIC is our entire identity; magic is what separates us from muggles ( non-magic folk ). what separates you from the muggles?’ there was anger in his voice, confusion as to why this, he was at hogwarts. what was next in? muggles? ‘how are you going to survive hogwarts with no magic?’

‘my SINCERE apologies, love.’ amycus gave her a side glance, body flipping to rest his back against the railing. ‘there were some things that needed taking care of, i’m back now. yours to command, sister.’ 

“ – well? are you just going to stand there or are you going to tell me what you WANT? “

‘what’s with the attitude, ‘lec?’ amycus asked in a caring tone, waltzing over to stand by her side, shoulders brushing against hers.

‘why don’t you ask my fans? seems wrong to be standing here bragging about myself.’

‘TOO many,‘ lucius quips immediately. ‘as a prefect who makes it a task to hex every misbehaving student, who makes irresponsible relationship decisions, & who once told flitwick to shove it, i would say too many. you know, when you’re gone & i take my rightful place as a seventh-year slytherin prefect, i want to give the name hogwart’s finest a good reputation, wouldn’t you agree? ‘ he raises his eyebrows at the mention of potter, smirking as he understood amycus’ aim. ‘did you hear rumors lulu was becoming stupid, too? you can’t guilt trip me, my dear boy. of course i don’t doubt that potter would join you, as he never thinks before he does anything – a gryffindor mentality, i tell you.’

of course he could’ve been out the doors by now and though lucius’ threat wasn’t extremely terrifying, he still didn’t feel like wandering alone. ‘lu?’ he was now poking at the blonde boy’s forehead, ‘you in there, lu? there’s some odd looking goody two shoes out here and i miss my lu.’ he shifted uncomfortably in the seat, legs itching to be stretched. ‘maybe i ought to have potter as my mate instead then. or at least someone fun, d’you want to go have fun after rounds or just sit in the common room and play CHESS?’

‘oh, KID. it’s certainly not something to flaunt.’ amycus shrugged his shoulders, more in a meaning of disgust and disbelief rather than confusion. ‘and with a name like avery. such a shame.’

‘oh, really? maybe i ought to stay away from him for a bit then, no one likes a moody elias. besides, the offer has always been extended to you, our home is yours. mother and father were absent most of summer, anyways.’

‘this is an injustice. my arse needs to be out and about.’

‘then, please, by all means; don’t return.’
