Secrets In The Common-room {Flashback} || Evan & Rabastan
When: 1969 Where: Slytherin Common-room With: Rabastan @rabstrangest
Hogwarts could be a tad boring at times, he’d finished his Prefect patrols for the night and ended up staying awake far longer than expected talking to one Rabastan Lestrange from the year above. He’d spent several years talking with the second born son by this point and already knew he’d be a wonderful ally to have; much like his Dear Cissa. And while they’d developed quite the friendship in their years together to have the common room to themselves, dark save for a fire burning in the hearth and the odd glow of a sea creature passing by the large window, well... it was far to intimate an opportunity to pass up.
He stood from his armchair and moved over to the sofa where Rab sat, settling down next to him, their sides touching as he tucked his legs under himself and looked at the other lit by firelight. “I got to send two third year Gryffindors running back to their common-room with point deductions tonight,” he confided quietly with a small chuckle, “It would have been fun to do more but, we all have images to maintain, hmm?” he asked, still grinning.
“I can’t think of a time you and I have been alone like this, it’s so nice.” he commented lightly, leaning a little more heavily against the other, “Like we’re the only two people in the world.” he paused for several beats, ensuring Rabastan knew he was looking at him and when their eyes met he whispered, “So, Mr. Lestrange, tell me something secret?”
