    Summary

    The waiting room is relatively empty. There’s two women sitting with their hands clasped in their lap, a teen girl with a bloody nose, every so often wiping away tears. A father with an asleep toddler in his lap. So many hopeless faces.

    Regulus has been here for an hour, watching people come and go. Watching them get called and taken away, or seeing people breathe sighs of relief at good news.

    Summary

    “Do you swear it?” Regulus looks deep into James’ eyes, waiting for the faltering, but there is none.
    “I swear it,” he says, gripping Regulus’ arm tighter.
    There’s a moment of silence, and then it is James who twists their arms, locking the charm in place. Not that either of them will remember it the following day, drunk as they are.

    ————————

    James and Regulus get really drunk and make an unbreakable vow. James swears that Regulus will be in love with him by the end of the year, and Regulus swears not to push him away and make him try. When they wake up the following day, they remember nothing of it. But everyone knows what happens if you don’t go through with it, so they can do nothing but try to recall and respect their drunken promises or be met by sweet old death. As if this wasn’t enough, their everyday problems seem to double by the minute. Between the vow and life as a student,

    It’s about to be a hell of a year.
