Elric Avery

  "You think Hogwarts is gonna have it’s own internal war?" He asked, sitting down beside him. "Watching people cry and wail over a lost mudblood is a bit funny, if you’ve got a mental sense of humor." He hummed thoughtfully, his hand brushing over Elric’s thigh beneath the cover of the table with the slightest, mischievous smirk.

"it might, that'd be fun," he commented back offhandedly. If the teachers thought they had a big enough problem with fighting, they could just wait until they found, or rather, didn't find, Evans. None of them would snitch on Alek and well... the lions would likely be itching for a shot at revenge on everyone. And yes, that would be amusing. "Maybe I do have a mental sense of humor," Ric smirked at Regulus, though his lips turned up into a small smile as he felt the other boy's hand on his leg. "miss me over break?"

"It has to be to put up with you."

"Put up with me? You'd be lost without me."

"I seriously don’t. I think I’d rather he died slowly and painfully. Now admit it." 

 "Your sense of humor is alright."

"I’m extremely funny, you’re lying. Admit it,”

"Only if you admit you don't actually want to fuck Potter."

"Maybe I will. He’s pretty sexy for a traitor, and he seems kind of desperate. I don’t know, what do you think?"

"I think that you think you're being funny, but you're not."

"I care." He said firmly, "You wanted to hear why I’m upset, so there it is. Living at home was hell with him there, it’s worse without him. Good, it’s better if you wouldn’t." 

"Well if you leave you're not going to live with Potter of all people."

""Who cares if Princess Gryffindor is angry? "I didn't say that- but I know you're not stupid like he is."

"Fine, whatever you say." He agreed, he knew it was bullshit, no secret stayed hidden forever, he’d learned that a while ago. Nothing was impossible, and there were too many ways it could go wrong. "I snapped at you because you started bossing me around. I argued with Sirius, he wants me to go live with he and James Potter. He’s worried about me."

"Since when is that a new occurrence?" he asked, rolling his eyes. "You're not actually considering that, are you?"

"Being your friend shouldn’t put someone on a pedestal, Avery. He’s killing people, knowing that if he gets caught he’ll be arrested. He’s my friend too, you know that I care about him, which is why I think what he’s doing is crazy.” He paused, fighting the honest response. “Nothing is my problem, nothing that involves you.”

"He's not on a pedestal, and he's not going to get caught. No one's seen him and only our friends know it's him!" Ric wasn't sure whyhe was so angry about Reg's response, but it irked him to no end. "Well it's clearly something if you're snapping at me for no reason. So either talk about it or get over it."

"Nothing at all," He said pointedly, staring at the floor in front of him, "If you’re going to hex me then do it, I’m not in the mood to argue."

 "Seriously? First you say my best mate is crazy, then you say that I should be the one watching my mouth, but suddenly you're 'not in the mood' to argue? What's your problem?"

"Mulciber isn’t the one who sucks you off, watch what you say.” He muttered, before adding, more calmly, “Don’t. Just don’t. Do you have alcohol?”

"What the fuck did you just say to me?"

  "Maybe is better than nothing, I’ll take what I can get. Just don’t. Okay?"

"Why not? Would it bother you?"

"Exactly, they don’t matter, so why bother? Is the idea of torture really that appealing?"

"Maybe if you're bored? I didn't know you were squeamish, Reg."

"Good. I just don’t want you doing anything you may regret, that’s all. It’s so unnecessary to torture random people, If you’re going to do it then at least make it someone who really, really deserves it. Mulciber is going to get himself in trouble."

"What am I supposed to regret? Those 'people' he's getting rid of don't matter. But yeah, I don't really want to get sent to Azkaban.. I told him he needs to be careful."

"No. Are you going to start helping, too?"

"I dunno, he asked if I wanted to, but I don't think he actually wants my help."
