              “R e g i n a, ” her shoulders slumped, eyes opened, and any calm she was attempting to maintain left as her eyes involuntarily watered. “ I get it!! I’m selfish, I’m conceited. I get other people to do things for me and I used Kiran when I was disowned. I’m the worst!! I  d e s e r v e  what I get!! So we can skip the dialogue because while, like, I totally love catching up with old friends, ” she said, ironically, embarrassedly wiping at her eyes, “ I just, like,  R E A L L Y  can’t do this right now. ”

Amma Avery would never learn to not address her as the despicable name that she had been bestowed with as her father’s namesake. It never faield to have Reggie further gritting her teeth, fluttering her eyelashes. “So long as we’re on the same PAGE then we won’t have to continue having chats like this, hm?” The roll of her eyes was indicative to the fact that, likely, this would be far from the last conversation that was similar in nature.  “Or, better yet, you could learn to wallow in self-pity in silence. I’m quite fed up of MY sleep being disturbed by your woe-is-me crocodile tears.”

               FORCED out of bed, eyes puffy as she’d already cried twice. Draped in her regrettably uncuteNIGHTIE, Amma tried to focus on her morning stretch routine. Despite a partial change in heart concerning blood purity, she’d be damned if anyone thought she was upset over missing gingers. “ Whoever had took them is sure to return them once they realise how, like, ANNOYINGLY STUBBORN they are. Can someone just get me a coffee?? ”

“What, not used to getting things yourself even though Daddy and Mummy dearest have kicked you out and Kiran is no longer at your beck and call?” Rudely awoken, Reggie was in an unpleasant enough mood without having to endure Amma’s presence that she had no patience for to begin with. “And, like, have you ever considered that the family being notoriously stubborn makes their situation even more DIRE? Or does that just not occur to you because, like, why be concerned about that when you are missing out on some clearly NEEDED beauty sleep?”

Kiran jumped back at the raw fervour he was met with. By this point, Kiran’s brain – which wasn’t all that competent to begin with – felt like it was about to explode. He was sick and tired of hearing about it, talking about it, and arguing about it. “Fam… What do you want me to do?” Indolently, he shrugged, expelling a defeated and bitter chuckle. “Our day one don’t rate me no more, init. Too much of a wasteman for him now or something, I don’t fucking know. Man avoids me like I’m a fucking pagan sideman, what am I supposed to do?! Air every day, Reg. He don’t run with me like we used to. Got all the love for him, but I ain’t gonna beg him to, am I?”

“I want you and Lance to remember that a couple of months ago? Amma Avery and Nadia Zabini weren’t even properly on your radars.  You know, I thought I was upgrading when I went from them to you, but at least they know to stick together. That’s what’s the actual WASTE in this situation. Nothing should be worth more than family. Even when they do stupid shit, which, if you were screwing around behind Avery’s back, yeah, that’s pretty deplorable behavior but you aren’t supposed to just ditch family.” Gritting her teeth, Reggie fought to not spill out her guts and keep her composure. There was an itch in her heart, a puncture wound that she didn’t dare scratch in case the scab tore off. “Was she worth it, Kiran? You creating this mess, was it worth it?” She held up her hand, taking a step back. “You know what? Don’t even answer that. These days, I’m not even sure why I BOTHER with either of you anymore. Clearly nothing I say gets through your thick skulls. Not as effectively as slime so easily sinks into your trousers.”

Emersing from the water like the Greek God he thought he was, Kiran flipped back his black hair, and strutted out of the bath as he ran a hand over his torso, feeling his own chiseled abs. He had to remind himself not everything was bad. “Woiiiii, look who it is,” he greeted the person nearest to him, anything for a distraction. “You got a wand on you? Manz proper fucked it,” He said, pressing the ball of his palm against the deep cut above his eyebrow; the downsides of pissing around with Atlas Krum. 

“You know what’s proper fucked?” The greeting was likely not one that Kiran was wanting, but Reggie was seething. For the first time in a long time, her razor-sharp tongue was flying venomously at the boys she saw to be her brothers. “Whatever this stupid shit is that’s going on between you and Lance. I heard that even slaps have been thrown now? What. The. Shit, Kiran? Both you and Lance need to get woke. No one, especially the Slytherin gal pals for Salazar’s sake, is worth you and Lance having this kind of beef. Particularly during a time where, hello, people have been dying. Can’t you, I don’t know, PRIORITIZE for once in your lives? I ought to drag both of you out by your ears and hang you to dry. Do you know how much restraint it’s taking me not to just jinx the two of you right now? Because, unlike some of you juveniles, I have self-control. Something none of you clearly have the capacity to exert.”

              “ Well, I’m not planning to end the night WITH clothes on. Rest assured the girls will have bare breathing room. ” It was true, that Shiloh  p a r t i c u l a r l y  enjoyed ripping off the wealthy, and it was all she could do to grin and laugh. “ Airheads are God’s gift to the Shilohs’ of the world. Could never pull a lift on you, though, init. Not even when you hung with the Slytherin gal squad. And trust me, I tried. ”

“Oh? And do you have a fine, lucky specimen chosen already are you going to play Russian Roulette and try your luck?” There was, unfortunately, no one at the party who caught Reggie’s eye. She was beginning to think Hogwarts’ well was all dried up. “As much as I hate to concede to it, as dim-witted as the gal squad is and always has been, one thing we all agreed on was fashion and its importance. We were all it designer girls from birth, so it’d be quite the task to pull one over on any of us.”

               As per Reggie’s ORDER suggestion, Bronwyn was once again ( mercifully ) placed upon her feet. He no sooner scattered off, and the brunette was left grinning at her friend. “ You’re a real, modern day hero, Reggie Mulciber, ” the girl beamed. “ You put the Greek Gods and all their offspring to shame. ”

As the boy skedaddled, Reggie offered a wave of her hand in dismissal, turning to Bronwyn with a smile of her own. “They ought to sell comic books about me, really.” She reached forward to smooth out the hairs on Bronwyn’s head that had been disheveled during her piggyback ride. “I think I’ll take hero over a god though. Most Gods had a tragic fate of their own making.” She nodded toward the pool. “Were you wanting to swim or were you dragged here?”

              “ Oh, deary me, eeeeeep!! ” She squeaked, bobbing about wildly as the perhaps too excitable ( and definitely TOO tall for his age ) sixth year carried her about. “ When I said I’d rather just stay put, I really, truly did mean it. No, no, nononononono, ” Bron protested when he neared the water, and seemed to be preparing to throw her in. 

Reggie blocked the path to the edge of the pool, shoulders squaring and rubbing her neck with her arm. Her eyelids fluttering, she spoke clear and low. “I don’t believe you have her permission to throw her into the water where, unprepared, she could hit her head or worse, so I suggest you put her down nicely and step away, sweetie.”

               “ PROBABLY WHY I FEEL BARE DIZZY. ” Shiloh’s eyes flickered to the lack of cleavage, and she shot Reggie a pout. “ Guess it’s time to sell these on eBay with 10% interest, yeah?? Just chuck a ‘ GUCCI ’ on the end and the extras’ come running. Ah, Mulciber,” the girl exclaimed with  a f f e c t i o n,  wrapping an arm around her friend’s waist, “ this is why you’re my Kweeeeen. ”

“I would suggest giving the girls some room to breathe later,” Reggie quipped back in turn. "If the extras really were as devout to fashion as they claim rather than just wanting to blow through daddy’s pocketbook, they’d go Elle Woods on you and be able to see through the embroidery. But lucky for you, your market is a cesspool of airheads.” Letting out a huff, but not denying the claim to royalty, Reggie leaned against Shiloh slightly in turn. “I just call ‘em as I see them, and you get full marks from me.”

               “ These feel PROPER fucking weird right now?? This is why you don’t buy a bikini without trying it on, fam. Still look peng though, init.”

"I’m pretty sure that bit is cutting off some circulation. And it’s not the best show of cleavage in the design, to be honest with you. But you’re fit so you can make it work because there is a payoff in the way it draws more attention to your waistline.”
