“You deserve a lot more than that, Y/n. I think that you are a quality woman and you need to start acting like it.”

You blinked a few times. No guy had ever told you that before.

“Thanks. I haven’t had anyone tell me that before.”

Regulus sighed.

“It's true. I understand why you want Sirius. Every girl wants a guy like Sirius. I have heard the Sirius is so handsome rubbish all of my life.”

Your smile faded. Yes, Sirius was handsome but now that you really looked at Regulus...so was he. Both Sirius and Regulus had that haughty arrogant look to them. Those piercing eyes seemed to be staring into your soul. Regulus features were sharper than Sirius. He was just a little bit smaller but still extremely attractive. You felt yourself blush under his gaze.

“You're handsome too.”

Regulus rolled his eyes. You are a charmer too.

“Right. You’re just saying that.”

You shook your head, sitting up on your knees.

“No, I’m telling the truth! I do think you are handsome. I love your curly hair. It's just so wild and out of control...like mine. Maybe you just haven’t been talking to the right people?”

Regulus laughed slightly at that. This was the first time that you had really seen the boy smile. You liked it. Regulus had a lovely smile...a lovely smile to go with his shy nature.

“My family is crazy so that would explain a lot. Look, Y/n, I am not great boyfriend material. I honestly don’t know what I am supposed to do other than holding your hand and fawn over you. Unfortunately, I am not the fawning type. I’m more brutally honest and will tell you if your behind looks fat in an outfit.”

Regulus was relieved when you started giggling.

“That isn’t a bad quality. I would rather you baffle me with your brains than bull crap.”

“Well, you are in luck then.”

Regulus commented, feeling his shy exterior building back up. You reached out and took one of his hands in yours. It was the hand that you had been holding in the great hall. Your attention went to the scars that littered the inside of his wrist. His porcelain skin was near perfect minus those small abrasions.

“May I ask what happened here?”

Regulus didn’t have to look down to know that you were asking about. It was the scars that he and Sirius shared. Scars from when their mother was on her high horse and punished them for breathing.

“I don’t want to talk about that.”

You nodded, suddenly feeling that the dark side of Regulus and Sirius’ comment was not just Sirius exaggerating as he did most things.

“So, what if we start actually liking each other?”

Regulus raised an eyebrow.

“I don’t think that we have to worry about that. Girls don’t like me for too long.”

You didn’t let go of his hand for a few moments before working on getting brave enough to speak again.

“We have been talking for a while now and I like you.”

Regulus didn’t smile. You didn’t like him. He had to mutter in his own mind that you didn’t care for him. He was only going to be your plaything. Regulus would lose you to Sirius and he might as well be ready for it.

“I don’t think love is real emotion anyway. Just like sex is sex. This whole making love nonsense makes me want to puke.”

When you looked down at your lap, Regulus knew that he had done it. He was scaring you away just like he did most girls.

“I see. We should probably get to class.”

That evening, you were on your way back to the common room. Your head was in one hell of a pretzel. After the conversation of love with Regulus, you felt less hopeful of any kind of long term relationship with him. This was clearly only a ploy to bug Sirius.

Sirius...then there were your feelings for him. Of course, there were still feelings there. You felt guilty about upsetting him that morning. He was upset. You could hear him yelling loud enough to prove that.

The real question was if the two of you became a couple again could you trust him? Part of you said, no the other part was on the fence. Would you ever really be able to feel confident when he left your side? The last thing that you really wanted was to be one of those girls who silently stalked their boyfriends through the hallway to make sure they were “being good.” What if Sirius got bored with you again or forgot that you were his girlfriend? Apparently, you were pretty darn forgettable.

A pair of hands reached out from the darkness of an empty classroom and tugged you in. The moment that your world stopped spinning, you looked up to see Sirius glaring down at you.

“Seriously, Regulus? What the hell?”

You sighed, as he kept his hands wrapped around yours.

“What?”

You questioned. Sirius rolled his eyes and looked like he was ready to punch a hole in the wall.

“You know what, Y/n! You are dating my brother. What about me?”

“Sirius, you broke up with me. You were seeing other people.”

Sirius ran a hand through his hair.

“I messed up! Look, Y/n, you can’t be with Regulus. He’s dangerous. My whole family is dangerous. He will just get you hurt and I can’t stand back and watch it happen.”

“Sirius, like I said before, you broke up with me. I am not your worry anymore.”

Sirius was almost ready to start jumping up and down. He didn’t know what in the world that he had to do to get you to understand.

“I am still going to worry.”

Out of sheer desperation or panic, Sirius reached out and pulled you into his arms. His mouth was on yours as he kissed you hungrily. Sirius was relieved when you kissed back after a few moments.

When the two of you broke apart, Sirius leaned his forehead against yours.

“That tells me what I need to know. You still care for me too.”

“Y/n Potter.” the sorting hat called out her name. Y/n walked up nervously to the chair. “Hmmm, loyalty I sense in you- but not much patience so no the Hufflepuff. Lots of creativity, but not into studying so not Ravenclaw. That leaves us to Gryffindor and Slytherin. You are brave- but I sense a lot of ambition. You could be a strong leader, very resourceful. Full of determination and cleverness as well. Although your courageous, daring and got nerve. I sense more Slytherin traits in you young Potter. Y/n Potter, Slytherin!” the hat called out, after a somewhat long time of mumbling. It made Y/n’s heart stop along with a few others. The twins sent to different houses was worrisome to the older wizards, but just shocking to all the students.

“At least one Potter is smart.” Draco commented as y/n sat down across from the platinum blonde at the Slytherin table. Y/n just ut her head down. The twins have relied on eachother for so much during their short lifes. To be separated now was verve racking to both.

“Welcome to Slytherin. I’m Trix.” A boy about a year or two older than her greeted from across the table.

“Hi” y/n said meekly

“I can tell you’re scared, being separated from your brother. It’ll get easier. I’m Haven.” A girl around the same age as the boy said sitting next to her.

“Y/n” Y/n mumbled her name shyly.

“We promise, Y/n. We’ll be here for you.” Trix nodded at her trying to help her get comfortable.

“So one Potter has a brian. That’s a good sign.” Draco snarked smugly

“Buzz off Malfoy.” Haven spoke harshly to the boy.

“Leave her alone.” Trix stared down the boy next to him.

“Don’t worry about him.” HAven spoke softly pulling Y/n closer to her still glaring at the Malfoy boy.

“Yeah, his whole family is Slytherin. He probably can’t be placed anywhere else.” Trix winked at the two girls.

“Why are you both being so nice to me?” Y/n asked confused but grateful.

“We get where you are. Your situation.” Trix told the young girl.

“We both have siblings.” Haven added

“And their in different houses too. Just like you and your brother.” Trix explained with a sad smile.

“Also we don’t come from families full of Slytherins either.” Haven stated, knowing the twin’s story.

“Thanks” Y/n smiled small but gratefully.
