Chapter Text
Barty’s POV
“Why can't we do some fun once in our lives?” When Barty turns to face the others, he finds that they are all avoiding his gaze.
"Come on guys," He speaks slowly to make the sentence longer. Regulus and Evan both let out loud groans at almost the same time.
“Seriously, you people are all boring.” To make sure the other members of the group grasp how frustrated he is. Barty drags out the "r's" as he says it.
“Hey Barty, why don’t you, you know, go find something to do if you’re so bored,” As she says that Dorcas rolls her eyes.
“You know what, I will, you are all. So. Boring.” Barty stands up and walks out of the common room.
Regulus’ POV
“Well, that was as dramatic as ever,”
“You know Barty, he thinks that the more dramatic he can make anything, the better,” Pandora adds on.
“He’s like Sirius in that way, they’re both so fucking dramatic. And for what? To add more emphasis on “how bored” they are?” He adds quotation marks to ensure the group know how annoying Barty is.
“Reg, we get it, you’re boring,” Evan rolls his eyes at the dark-haired boy.
“Hey! You are literally acting the exact same as fucking Barty did,” Regulus tosses one of the pillows off the couch he’s sitting on at Evan but misses.
“You can’t even throw a pillow Reg.” Evan teases the boy.
“Shut up,”
Pandora’s POV
“Reg, you’re pouting,” She states. Regulus slouches in on himself more. This makes her want to tease the boy even more than before.
“No, I am not.” He crosses his arms. Evan, Pandora, and Dorcas share a look.
“Regulus. Are you sulking about not being able to throw a pillow?” Dorcas joins in on Pandora’s teasing. Both girls start grinning.
“Am not.” Regulus turns his face away from them.
“Hm, Reg, I think you might be doing exactly that.” Evan also joins in on the girls teasing. All three of them are now grinning.
“Not you too,” Regulus groans as he rolls his eyes.
“Seriously, all three of you have turned against me, over a pillow.”
“Uh-uh, don’t twist the story Reggie, you’re the one who sulked over not being able to throw a pillow, at Evan.” Dorcas teases.
“Oh my god. Can we just finish whatever is occurring here.” Regulus voice sounds all whiny when he says it.
“Okay sulker,” Pandora teases.
“And you say Sirius and Barty are the dramatic ones,” Evan adds.
“Just shut up,”
“What are you going to do Reg? Throw another pillow at me?” Regulus huffs, and suddenly stands up.
“You know what, have your guys’ little- whatever the fuck you are doing, I am going to the library.”
Lily’s POV
“So, what did Dorcas say….?” Lily questions once more, greedy for the answer to her question. She’s tried multiple times, but Marls is insistent on keeping it to herself.
“Come on, Marls,” Mary drags out the ‘n’ as she says it. Also, seemingly greedy for whatever Marlene’s keeping from both.
“Mm, how about what you did on the holidays Mary?” Marlene tries to change the subject but is seemingly smiling about whatever she is keeping from both girls.
“Marls, seriously…?” Mary questions with a playful tone in her voice. “Fine, do you really want to know what me and my little brother did?” Lily and Marlene nod, although Marls doesn’t seem as enthusiastic as Lily is.
Dorcas’ POV
“And he’s still insistent that Sirius took all the ‘dramatic genes’” Dorcas finally returns from the bathroom, to find Pandora waiting for her on the bottom bunk.
“I mean…has he seen himself when someone slightly pisses him off?” Dorcas playfully rolls her eyes and Pandora lets out a little giggle.
“Wait, are you two talking about me?” Regulus, suddenly back from the library, walks into the room (which only Pandora and Dorcas share), and sits on the edge of the bed.
“Yeah Reggie, about how dra-ma-tic, you are.” Pandora adds pauses between the word ‘dramatic’, so she can exaggerate her point.
Regulus rolls his eyes, “are you two serious?” He questions them both. Before he realizes Dorcas goes:
“No, but your sister is.” Regulus grabs a pillow off the bed and almost throws it at them but remembers the incident from earlier today and decides against that idea.
“About to try and have a repeat of this morning’s drama, huh Reg?” Dorcas adds, wanting to try and rally up Regulus even more.
“Just get over it, oh my god.” Regulus swiftly makes his way out of the room, after he had tried to calm down both girls, but Dorcas was making snarky comments while Pandora giggled. He seemed to get too annoyed by both and left.
Pandora’s POV
“Cas there’s that party tomorrow. You have an outfit…right?”
“I went shopping with Marls to get us both something to wear for it,” Dorcas replies, smiling at the mention of her girlfriend. Pandora is so happy for Cas; she has finally found that person for her. Could this be the one Dorcas has been waiting for?
“You seem to really love her Cas,” Pandora blurts out, not meaning to. Oops. At least Dorcas knows that Pandora can tell just how much Marlene means to her. She’s happy Dorcas has finally found her one, but it also makes her kind of sad. I mean, Dorcas finally got the girl she’s been pinning over for years, and Pandora is stuck. Watching her love-crush walk around with Cas. And Mary … and Marlene.
Pandora is in love with Lily Evans. And all she can do is admire from afar.
No matter what her personal feelings may be saying, she will and won’t ever take it out on Cas. Dorcas deserves to be happy.
