White or Black

“ Fine fine fine, you caught me. I don’t hate your presence as much as I pretend to.” He said grinning widely at her. “ Maybe not my favorite but definitely in my top 10, maybe top 5 on a good day.” He laughed. “ Well I will try to make that notch a bit more. I am a Black, everyone is suppose to respect me and such, I don’t know I tend to tune my mother out most of the time.” Maybe he couldn’t hear her over his own screams and begging. “ You really are living such a different and strange life from me. I am unsure if I am impressed or not.” He said. “ I have never fucked up a memory charm. Spent too much time sketching dresses instead of listening to your lessons?” He joked. “ I suppose going to their house is dangerous. This is why I just sleep with people I know. Have a little arrangement. Do you know how many purebloods are in the closet and is easy to fuck and never have to worry about again?” Not that he slept with a lot of them, they did scare him a bit. “ I guess if we are to party we can get a hotel room, a nice one though.” He said. “ I won’t act like a businessman, I will act like a pushes friend that wants to go into business with you. I am already rich, so I am not going to try to get rich off of your work.” He pointed out. “ I better, it has been a while since I got any action.” He nodded. “ Oh you can see them whenever you want to.”

“ The reason is I walked out of my home and you were there, and I was too lazy to run.” He teased. “ No to be honest. I do enjoy your company,” he added. “ So you already have respect for me? That is a first.” He said. “ It is the life, I used to go on little benders with smoking and drinking until my cousin pulled me out of it.” He missed it, at least then he could forgot the things he was suppose to do for his family. “ Or I pick someone up, take them home, shag them and being the wizard I am make sure their memory just go away.” He laughed.  “ Why don’t you go to their house? Have you been caught sneaking out.” He chuckled. “ I am your friend and listen to me then.” He said.  He gave her a wary look for a moment. “ Fine you can dress me, but I’ll do my own hair, not a fan of the touching.” He said. “ I do as well, maybe I’ll live my family, raise my child in France.

“ No no, I need food for a lost, lots and lots of food. I drink to celebrate and food to eat all my sadness in.” Hestia laughed. “ I was going to defend my favorite american sport, but you know have me thinking.” She said as they were led to a table.

“ Yes, I insistent. We can go for a drink after when we win, and if we lose, donuts and pockstickers.” She laughed. “ They aren’t all in the closet, and nothing is wrong with the sport, it is the best. I dated one for a while, when I and Edgar first broke up, I rebound with a nice american footballer. His name was Kash and he was lovely. I think he is married now… wait… yeah he is married to someone lovely, Jerry.” She laughed.

“ I know, but you did me a favor and I want to repay you. Plus they give us a bunch of tickets to give to friends and family. Seeing as my cousin is on the team and Edgar is busy with work, it would just go to waste.”She said. “ Oh, god, don’t come for my sports. American Football is amazing. I go home for the super bowl.” She smiled as she grabbed her arm, walking towards the closest restaurant. 

“ Oh you should most definitely come to one of my games. I can get you tickets and it will be so fun. Quidditch is easy to play. I’ve been playing since I could walk.” She grinned. “ Great, I need a burger, or something.”

“ Very true. An amazing fashionista. You will some day have to tell me your secrets.” Tia laughed.  “ I don’t mind, having two job is insane, but I am so happy for it.” She worked too hard, but she was happy working.  “ Now?” She asked.

“ Because I am currently in a fight with all of them, and I doubt if I was with one of them, I would get time to sit and paint, though I am sure I would still get lectured about my life choices. So honestly it isn’t much different.” Though it would be a lot more yelling if it was one of his cousin. “ I am sure was born a 54 year old business men, but to save myself time with arguing with you, I will just give in now.” Though he wouldn’t admit that going clubbing did some fun. “ Paris? Now I can get behind that. If I wasn’t a 60 year old bussinessman, I am a french painter that lives for food, drugs and sex. It’s a pipedream.” Regulus half joked. “ I have a home, we don’t need to waste money on hotels. I’ve never stayed in one in my life and I’m not about to start.” He said with a shake of his head. “ You are a fortune cookie, so I will order some Chinese and you can take some time off.” He teased. “ It does, but it is a nice world, taking it back and all that. See I am not that lost in muggle culture. But you will listen to me, right? This is a good thing for both of us.” He offered her his arm. “ I think Cissy will love her child, and try her best, Sirius child will be lucky to have Remus to help, and Andi child will be okay. Bella… yeah she should not span.” He frowned softly but knew she was right. He would feel bad for keeping his child away from his family even when he knows how they are. “ You aren’t wrong.”

“ Are you sure you are a wizard and not an angel?” She teased, looking down at her outfit once more. “ I’ve been good.. all things considering. Work is stressful but a good stressful. Would you like to get lunch or a drink? Have a catch up day?”

“ Bloody delight? Well if you have to tell yourself that. I will have more fun, I’ll see if I can fit that in my busy schedule.” He laughed. “ Go clubbing? I take it that isn’t beating someone with a golf club? I am not the sort to go clubbing and brining someone to my home.” He’ll probably bring someone home and they’ll kill him. “ If we are talking about me then talk about how unlucky I am.” He pointed out. “ I suppose Queer is right, I’ve never really given much thought to it.” He liked it queer, an identity he didn’t know he needed. “ Of course I’m paying, that is how all businessman work. We pay so you will at least listen to us.” He grinned. “ I don’t agree, we need lots more, like them have normal childhoods. We need some good people in our family tree.”

“ I guess that is a bad comparison, but I can be fun. You are just emotional draining to be around.” He teased. “ I don’t have a lot of fun you are right. I will try to pencil some in for later on. Is this not fun, drawing together. You know I don’t normally let people do art with me, don’t even show people. You are lucky Brielle and now being ungrateful.” He teased. Painting and art was the only real escape Regulus got from his family.  “ Loud and proud is that a gay joke, because I’ve kissed just as many women as men.” He said standing up from the ground. “ I am hungry, how about we go have lunch and I will make a wonderful case of us going into business together. Yes yes, I’ll live to be as old as Dumbledore, marry, and have little reggies for you to babysit.” He said with an eyeroll.  “ I promise.

“ Honestly you are a genius when it comes to fashion, it is like a superpower.” She complimented. “ You would have saved me so much time and tears.” She laughed, she stressed so much over their date she almost backed out. “ Thank you, Brielle. Now how have you been?” 

“ You can say that again, he has always been horrible with gifts, he tries, but he really should stop.” She laughed. “ Please change whatever you think is best, I am a bit hopeless about fashion sometimes. You remember my first date with Edgar? I was late because I couldn’t decide on an outfit. With your help the whole world could be looking fabulous.”

“ Oh!” She said looking down at her outfit. “ You know I missed your bluntness.” She laughed as she followed after her. “ I really am not a fan of this color, it was a gift from my father, obviously he knows nothing about me.”
