I smiled at the sight of the owls. I loved getting mail, even if my parents hardly sent me any. They had their hands full with my sister, who was only four and getting into all kinds of trouble. To this day, I am still fully convinced she wasn't planned; I knew how upset my mum was when she found out she was having another kid. I picked the letter up and shot a quick glance toward Augustus. He smirked and turned away. I shoved it into my bag, deciding I should read it later. "Mum, probably just informing me what else Beth set on fire this week." I lied. "I'll read it later. I always make weird faces reading letters from mum." I said. "Who sent you yours?"

I looked at my cousin curiously. "You're lying. I know it. Your nostrils flare when you're lying." I said, mentally cursing myself when I admitted that. That was my secret way of knowing when she wasn't telling the truth. "Who was it from?" I gave a mock gasp. "It was from "HIM" wasn't it?" I said in a hushed voice. I raised my eyebrows at her. "Oh, come on. Who is he already? I want to know?" I asked as we stood. I read over my letter. "I'll show you mine if you show me yours." It was just my mum, telling me that I really should spend more time with Abel, as he was having trouble in his classes. He was a second year Hufflepuff.

I covered my nose when she said that. Now I would have to find a way to mask that when I was talking to her, not that I lied all that much but still. With certain things I did. "Nah, I'm good." I said, making sure my bag was closed before standing up. "And yes, it was from him. But you can't see it! What if it's personal? I can't have you reading that, now can I?" I asked. I was determined for her not to see it. "Maybe if it's not too bad I can show you. Or maybe show you one of the old ones." I said. I could always find one that showed him in an extremely positive light, just in case she knew who he was by his initials.

=SKIP=
It was just after lunch and Sonia seemed edgy. I was curious as to why but I couldn't get a damn straight answer out of her. She would always shrug it off. I caught her glancing at her watch multiple times. I finally decided she must be waiting to go see whoever this guy was. We had some time between lunch and class so they must be meeting to take advantage of said time to snog...or talk...or snog. Probably snog, that wench. I partially hated her for having this mystery boyfriend because I was jealous she had somebody. "What's up with you?" I asked for the fifth time.

It bothered me that Leah wasn't leaving me alone. I didn't want to go meet Augustus if she was going to follow me; he'd be mad if she found out. Then again, he'd be mad if I didn't show up, either. I sighed as she questioned me again. "For the last time, there's nothing wrong with me! I'm just dreading herbology; I suck at that class." I said, looking around to see if Augustus had given up on me and was wandering around with his friends. And I still hadn't read that letter from him; I was too worried that Sluhorn or Flitwick would take it away, so I didn't bother trying to read it yet. I really wanted to know what it said, but I didn't want to read it until I was alone. "So... did you finish the homework for herbology? I forgot to." I said. I was up most of the night trying to think of a long reply to the last letter my mum sent me.

I sighed at Sonia's outburst as we walked. "Sorry, you just seem so on edge." I said, looking at her suspiciously. I wasn't going to push it though. I glanced around as she did, wondering who she was looking for. One day I'd find out. "Yeah, I finished it. The homework was rather simple." I said with a shrug. Then again, I loved Herbology. And potions. I guess I just liked working with my hands rather than with spells.

"Oh. I guess I should have asked you for help with it, then." I said. She was so much better than I was at it. I didn't see Augustus anywhere, so I guessed he was still waiting for me. Great... I looked to my right and spotted Ophelia Harlow, a girl in our house. She could be my excuse to get away. "Hey, I'll meet you in class, alright? I wanted to ask Ophelia how it went asking Remus out." I said, hoping she'd let me go so I could go see Augustus.

I looked at her suspiciously. I had a feeling she was just trying to get away to see...whoever he was. I knew this would be my chance to catch them. I shrugged and glanced at Ophelia, trying not to act like I had caught on. "Alright. Let me know how it goes. I have to ask Professor Sprout about some plants I want to grow in the dorms anyways. Gotta make sure they're safe." I lied and left her alone, keeping her in my periphrial(i probably screwed that spelling up but whatever it's 2am) vision as I walked towards the green houses.

I smiled as she let me go, and walked towards Ophelia. I gave her a smile as I passed her, going straight to the meeting place. I looked around to make sure Leah hadn't followed me, and smiled when I noticed she hadn't. I turned my attention to Augustus and greeted him with a tight hug and a kiss. "Sorry babe, I had to get away from my cousin." I said.

I was waiting a moment to follow Sonia. I knew she was going to see him. Especially when I turned and found her pass by Ophelia with only a smile and kept on walking. She's such a terrible liar. I began walking after her, hiding behind people as she turned around to catch me following her. Thankfully she didn't seem to notice me since she continued on her path. I was greatful, considering I'd never had to tail someone before. I noticed her going into an empty classroom and was about to zero in on her when someone stepped in my path. I looked up to see the black hair and dark eyes that belonged to Regulas Black. I gasped slightly and took a step back.
---------------------
I smirked as Sonia walked into the room. I had been waiting a little longer than I wanted and was beginning to get annoyed when she finally entered. Of course the cousin was to blame for her lateness. She seemed overly suspicious this morning, especially when Sonia got the letter I sent her. I pulled her into my arms and placed a long kiss on her lips. "No matter. Did you read it?" I asked her, raising an eyebrow. I knew she was still worried about everyone knowing we were together and I was as well. The girl was considered a blood traitor in my world. But there was something about her I couldn't stay away from. I figured we could at least attend the dance together and see how that goes. Then we'll figure out what to do from there.

*Regulus*
I had been walking around the grounds with my friends, not wanting to go into the herbology classroom early. I'd rather be late; I usually always was. My friends left me, though, when Augustus said he had something to do and ducked into one of the empty classrooms. I rolled my eyes; I knew it had something to do with that blood traitor he was hanging around, and I could only hope he was using her for something, and would only end up hurting her in the end. Besides, she was Gryffindor and I despise that house... I was walking by myself when I noticed the girl Sonia was already around following her. I did it enough to know when someone was trailing someone else. I decided to intervene. "So...where are you headed? Thought you and that friend of yours liked to be early." I said, nodding towards the greenhouse that served as our classroom.
-------------------------------
I hugged Augustus back for a long moment before replying. I knew he was dangerous; I knew he was headed down the wrong path and I would only get hurt by being with him, but the moments I was in his arms were some of the best, and I wasn't ready to give them up. "No, not yet. Leah was watching me like a hawk all day, wouldn't leave me alone long enough to read it. I'm surprised she didn't take it from my bag and read it! She's really curious as to who you are, but all she knows is you're a Slytherin." I said. I reached up and pushed a piece of hair behind his ear and kissed him gently. "I'll read it later, I promise. I'll probably have to wait until she's sleeping." I said with a frown. I was hoping she would be busy enough with homework or talking to someone else to give me three minutes to read it in peace.

I stared at him for a long moment. I couldn't process how to respond to him standing there. We'd never spoken before and he quite frankly scared the hell out of me. It took me a moment to register that he had spoken and even asked me a question. Well, that answered my question on if I should say 'hello'. I suppose we weren't going with formal introductions. How could Sonia date a Slytherin? And why was I suddenly excited to know that she wasn't with Regulus? "I still have time before class. And we're not always early." I said defiantly. I also didn't answer his question. How exactly could I explain that I was following my cousin around to catch her snogging with her Slytherin boyfriend?
----------------------
I nodded and placed a light kiss on her lips while running my hands over her back. "She'll figure it out eventually you know. I wouldn't be surprised if she were outside the room at this very moment waiting for the proper moment to catch us. Maybe she's assuming we're catching a quick shag before class." I grinned maliciously. "I for one think we should prove the girl right, don't you?" I teased with a wink. I had been throwing in little, not very subtle hints, at the fact that I wanted her lately. I wondered how long it would take for her to get annoyed with them and either cave or blow up on me. I wasn't sure which reaction I'd prefer, honestly. I'd really like to see her get angry.

I shrugged as she spoke. "You're early enough." I said, and looked around. I knew she was looking at me this morning, but whether or not that's because Sonia was looking over at Augustus trying to see who she was looking at, or because Leah wanted to look at me, I wasn't sure. "You know, staring is bad." I said, glaring at her. "What's a traitor like you doing staring at me? You into me? That'd be great, let my brother know not every Gryffindor worships the ground he walks on." I spat. I hated thinking of my brother. He had turned out so... so wrong.
----------------------------------------
"I made sure she wasn't following me." I said, and felt my face get really hot when I heard what he said next. I buried my face in his chest, not sure what to say. I mean, yeah, the thought had crossed my mind but we were only going out for four months! Wasn't that a bit soon... and what if he was planning on me being experienced? "I...I don't know. I mean, we can wait, right? I don't think an empty greenhouse is the cleanest place..." I said. I knew I was stuttering and I cursed myself for that. I just didn't want to say no. I was so afraid he would leave me if I did.

My eyes widened slightly as he mentioned me staring at him this morning. Damn, I was hoping he wouldn't say anything. "I wasn't...staring at you. You must have mistaken that for glaring." I said, crossing my arms over my chest stubbornly. I glanced around and noticed most of the people around us were heading off to their classes. "Besides, if you hate your brother so much then why do you care what he thinks?" I inquired, wanting to continue this conversation. I couldn't quite figure out why, though.
----------------
I chuckled softly and ran my fingers through her hair. She was blushing and it was absolutely adorable. "Don't worry, love. I won't rush you. Not nearly as fun if you're not enjoying it as well." I said and leaned in, kissing her fully. My hands drifted a bit to her hips and I pulled her closer to me as I deepened the kiss. I didn't care if I got disowned for this. She had the sweetest lips I'd ever kissed.

I smirked at her, crossing my arms. I wan't expecting her to actually stand here and continue to talk to me, but maybe her and her cousin were more alike than I thought. "No, I know a glare when I see one, stupid. That wasn't a glare." I said, and rolled my eyes. "I couldn't care any less what my brother thinks, I just want to see him upset that someone doesn't like him." I said, and noticed she was looking around, noticing everyone starting to move. "Go ahead, run off to class early like a good girl." I teased.
--------------------------
I kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his shoulders as he pulled me closer. I absolutely loved this part of our day, even though this was the time my mind would tell me that shagging him wouldn't be too bad. I had enough control, thankfully, that I knew when to excuse myself to class, always using that as an excuse. "Do we have to go to class?" I said quietly when I broke away for a breath.
