“Pandora!” Regulus cried as one of the snails mowed her over, and she disappeared beneath it. He hit three in a row with a Bombarda, brushing the pieces of exploded snail off his robes. 

He raced towards the one that was suffocating Pandora. His feet hit a thick patch of slime, and his feet shot out from under him. 

He landed with a thud on his back but continued to slide forward towards the snail. 

He hit it with force and slid right under it. Something hard slowed him down. Pandora! He shoved her as hard as he could, forcing her out from beneath the giant gastropod. It was hard work, but he finally got her out. He then relaxed and gathered his magic, feeling it swirling down his arms to the tips of his fingers, and then the snail was fifty feet in the air and exploding into hundreds of tiny bits. Regulus folded his heavy arms over his eyes until the unwanted shower ceased. 

He rolled over and dragged himself to Pandora's unmoving body. “Panda?” He groaned, exhausted by the fight. Her eyes popped open, and she stood as if she hadn’t just been fighting off a horde of gigantic snails. 

“We can go now,” she said cheerily and began to skip away. Regulus flopped onto his back and took a moment to collect himself. 

He finally dragged himself up, his robes saturated with snail slime and Salazar knew what else. 

He looked up at the marble staircase and grumbled to himself as he started the long walk up to Gryffindor Tower. 

A second year was blocking his way as he climbed the final staircase. 

“Move!” He hissed, and the terrified second year scurried away, and he came face to face with James. 

His heart skipped a beat, but he was too tired to care. 

“Are you… Regulus, what are you covered in?” James asked him as clumps of slime dripped onto the floor. 

“It’s snail slime! Sirius’s bloody snails are running amok in the forbidden forest. Or they were. Pandora and I saw to them. Regulus told him through his clenched teeth. He wanted a shower and to curl up with James in bed for a long sleep.  

He pushed past James and glared at the portrait of the Fat Lady. She stared back, but he was prepared to burn her to the ground to get in, and she could see it in his face. She pursed her lips and swung away from the wall, and he clambered through the stupid hole and into the Gryffindor’s common room.

you weren’t supposed to have new year’s plans, having bragged to everyone that you were gonna spend the night asleep by 9. instead, you were out with kuroo, the top of his convertible down and the wind rushing through your hair. you looked down at the clock and noticed that it was 11:59; fireworks were already popping in the distance. he slowed to stop at a red light, and before you could second-guess yourself, you leaned over and kissed him until it turned green.
