Then I’m not following.

When Sirius and I get together, we try to avoid the obvious topic that gets us bumping heads.

[the-regular-black-blog]

What sort of topics do you two agree on?

[alectocarrow5-blog]

Well deserved rest? Like you haven’t been sleeping?

We left Amycus and Potter out of it. That’s how. Hog’s Head is no man’s land so it could just be the two of us.

[the-regular-black-blog]

That’s not the sort of rest I’m talking about.

And I fail to see how you and Sirius, alone, being who you are, does not end horribly wrong.

[alectocarrow5-blog]

I went to the Hogs Head with your brother.

What did you do? Homework all weekend?

[the-regular-black-blog]

I studied, yes. And I got some well deserved rest. Peace and quiet can do wonders.

So... how exactly did that not end in a horrible manner?

[alectocarrow5-blog]

There was no plan. It just wasn’t horrible.

[the-regular-black-blog]

Dare I ask what you did during the weekend?

[alectocarrow5-blog]

It wasn’t horrible.

[the-regular-black-blog]

Should I take it that everything went according to your plan, then?

[the-regular-black-blog]

It seems like a lot of people had fun during the weekend at Hogsmeade, judging by the fact that people are still talking about it...

“He wouldn’t?” Alecto asked, her eyes widening as her concern grew. If she couldn’t convince people that she was with Sirius to try and change him, what other excuse was there? She couldn’t tell the truth!

“You weren’t there, Alecto. You didn’t see my parents’ reaction.” Regulus paused, not wanting to remember that summer. It had been painful enough to live through it, and the last thing he needed was to focus on painful memories. “I cannot imagine my mother ever accepting him back, after... after erasing his very existence in the family. You can try, and maybe you can even make him see the light, but... it won’t be easy. Any of it.”

(andromedaofthestars:)

Maybe not. I know more people who are staying rather than going.

Like whom? I think all the undesired people are going, which is enough to turn Hogwarts into a much nicer place.

[the-regular-black-blog]

(narcissaism:)

Alright fine, you’re off the hook, but you have to come with me at least once this year! I refuse to let you constantly hang around the castle every single Hogsmeade trip. 

I feel like we don’t hang out as much as we used to, Reg, so like it or not, you’re coming at least once.

Fine, fine, I’ll go with you to Hogsmeade on another date.

“He isn’t too keen on me talking to him, let alone hanging out with him at Hogsmeade,” she explained. “He’s probably pissed off that he’ll have no one to hang out, but he’s going as far as saying Mom will disown me, which is such bullshit.”

“He does have a point. You’re trying to do something impossible, and it might not end well for you,” Regulus said, sighing. “Sirius has been against us for too long now... and even if he starts to realize he’s on the wrong side, he won’t be accepted back into the family.”

spitfirevans:

“Oh Merlin, I know. It will be so nice, really. Though I do have to stop by Hogsmead for a few things though, so I don’t think i’ll be able to enjoy the quiet castle for long.”

... Why are you talking to me?

[the-regular-black-blog]

amycusxxcarrow:

You’re allowed to have fun, you know….

I don’t need to go to Hogsmeade to have fun.

[the-regular-black-blog]

narcissaism:

But it’ll be so much fun! It’s the first trip of the year, and this is a chance like no other. You have time to focus on your studies any other day.

I’d still rather focus on my studies when the castle is quiet for once. Besides, half of the fun in Hogsmeade comes from socializing, which is something I don’t like doing at all.

And there’s also a higher chance of running into people I do not want to see in the village.

alectocarrow5:

Alecto ran a hand through her hand and allowed herself to calm down for a moment. “It’s my brother,” she murmured so other Slytherins wouldn’t hear as they filed out. “He’s freaking out because of Sirius. I should’ve known that it was coming, but I didn’t expect him to be as harsh as he was.”

Regulus frowned a little, getting a bit closer as Alecto lowered her voice. “What do you mean, freaking out? I figured being nice wouldn’t be that hard, even for your brother,” he said, glancing around to make sure no one was eavesdropping. “Or were you planning something else?”

[the-regular-black-blog]

narcissaism:

Do you mean you’re not coming? Reg, why not?

Why would I? It’s a waste of time. I’d rather focus on my studies than... well, than doing nothing all day.

[alectocarrow5-blog]

Alecto angrily stuffed all of her materials into her messenger bag at the end of the class period and didn’t care if anyone noticed her obviously pissed off nature. Okay, maybe she did because when she looked up and saw someone staring on in what seemed to be concern, she instantly snapped and asked, “What do you want?”

[the-regular-black-blog]

Regulus didn’t even flinch at her attitude, already expecting it. “I was simply wondering what went so wrong to get you in such a bad mood,” he replied, unfazed. He took a step closer, straightening the strap of his bag on his shoulder. “If you want to talk about it, that is.”

[the-regular-black-blog]

I can’t wait for the Hogsmeade weekend. The school will be pleasantly silent for once.
