     "I'm so hungry," Alec whined banging her wrist on the Slytherin table in the Great Hall as we waited for Dumbley Dore to finish blabbering.

     "He doesn't ever shut up," I joined in resting my forehead on the table.

     "If he doesn't shut up then I swear to god I will hex him to oblivion," Bella yelled fetching her wand.

     "We don't support violence," Cissy scolded shaking her head.

     Meda looked at her with an eyebrow raised, "Yeah that's just you. I support violence!"

     "Hell yes Meda," I yelled wishing I had a goblet of firewhiskey.

     "Count me in on that too," Alec yelled joining in.

     "Oh Reggie look, it's my sister-in-law and your fiancé," Rabastan Lestrange, brother of Rodolphus Lestrange, Bella's fiancé yelled pulling Reggie over to where we were sitting.

     "Stan," Bella greeted hiding her wand which was brought out to hex Dumbley Dore.

     "Black, you reckon I can see the marks you left on her neck," Rab asked teasingly.

     "Black gossiping already," Alec said in mock shock.

      "Lestrange, you reckon you will survive if I drown you in the Black Lake with the giant squid," Reggie asked clapping back ignoring Alec's comment.

     "Nah man, you would drown too," Rab snickered smacking the back of Reggie's head.

     "Would not," Reggie said embarrassed.

     "You would," Evan Rosier teased showing up beside Rab while Barty Crouch Jr. showed up beside Reggie.

     "The gangs back together," Meda facepalmed groaning.

     "Yes we are," Rab said throwing an arm around Meda.

     "Yo sis, get Dumbledore to shut up," Amycus Carrow said yelling at his twin sister from the other side of the table where he resided with his group of friends.

     "I wish," she yelled back.

     "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts," Dumbledore's voice boomed as he finally concluded his everlasting speech.

     "FOOD," Barty yelled as piles and piles of food magically appeared.

"Fatass," Reggie insulted.

"Not all of us have a fast metabolism like you Black," Barty responded after stuffing his face with pumpkin pasties.

Reggie sat down next to me leaning his head on my shoulder, "You're a bitch you know."

I looked at him offended pushing his head off, "What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

"It means that you're a bitch for covering up all the marks that I left on you," Reggie said trailing his finger down my neck.

I slapped his hand away fearing the concealer would come off with it, "Not everyone wants to boast that they made out with Regulus Black."

"I don't care if you don't want to, you are my fiancé and they should know that," Reggie said glaring.

"So what if I'm your fiancé, I don't want to parade around with a reminder of you on my neck," I yelled at him starting to get annoyed at the pointless argument.

"Funny how one moment your tongue was down my throat and now that same tongue disrespecting me," Reggie said staring directly at my lips which I instinctively bit.

"You have no ri—," I started saying before he cut me off once again.

Reggie grunted, "Stop biting your lips like that."

I rolled my eyes, "You don't get to control wh—."

He cut me off again, "Just shut up."

I could feel my cheeks heat up, "No, you started this so we are going to finish it."

"I did finish it," Reggie said a matter of factly.

"You did not, and don't you dare try to outsmart me right now because one more wrong word from you and I swear to god, I will choke you to death," I threatened pointing a finger at him.

"Oh, kinky. I don't know what you mean by–oh! I get it! You mean me and you finish what we started back in my dorm," Reggie said with a teasing smirk.

"That's it," I said lungeing at him.

"Someone pull her back," Evan yelled standing up.

     "Move, you're in the way," Alec said pushing Evan out of the frame.

     "But—," he started saying before Bella cut him off.

"Hush Rosier, I want to see this play out," Bella said with a smirk leaving back in her seat to enjoy the show.

"Andy," Evan asked.

"Don't look at me, I'm on her side," Meda said putting her hands up in defense.

"Come on Evy, look at him. Aren't they so cute," Rab asked pulling Evan away to sit down.

"Yeah man, free entertainment," Barty said drinking a goblet of pumpkin juice, man he loved pumpkins more than his mother.

"Rot in hell," I sneered straddling Reggie with my fingers wrapped around his neck squeezing.

"D–Do what–tever y–you wan–t, I–I wo–would n–never h–hurt y–you," Reggie choked out from under my grip trying to pry my fingers off him as I squeezed harder.

"MS. MALFOY, GET OFF MR. BLACK AT ONCE," Professor McGonagall's voice echoed in the Great Hall as everyone's eyes turned towards us.

"GET HIM SYLVIE," Sirius yelled from the Gryffindor table once he noticed what was happening.

"NOT NOW OTHER MR. BLACK," Professor McGonagall yelled back.

     "Other Mr. Black," Alec giggled at the comment.

     "Shh," Cissy whispered to her.

     "I'll get her off," Evan offered running over to save his best friend from me.

     "No," I yelled as my beautiful piece of art was snatched away from me as Evan effortlessly dragged me to the other side of the Great Hall.

I made eye contact with Meda who was cheering at me giving me a thumbs-up while dancing. Bella was still leaning back watching it play out with a smirk. Cissy, oh poor Cissy was frozen in shock as we watched everything unfold with her mouth hanging open. Thankfully Bella put her finger under to close for her sister. Alec had her face in her hand staring intensely at everything going on.

     "Ms. Malfoy, Mr. Black, to my office this instant," Professor McGonagall demanded sternly leaving no room for argument.

     Dumbledore just watched with a smile, that asshat.

     "Let's take it to my office," Professor Slughorn muttered leading the way.

     I started following the two professors with Reggie trailing behind. I turned around and stuck my middle fingers up at him mouthing, fuck you. He responded with, gladly. That made my cheeks turn tomato red as I turned around trying to keep a straight face.

     Once we arrived at Slughorn's office, Professor McGonagall was the first to speak, "I do not know what caused this but I'm not going to dwell on the matter."

     "He called me a bitch," I defended.

     She gave Reggie a disappointed look, "That's not how you talk to a lady Mr. Black."

     "We have agreed not to take any points away from Slytherin or call upon any detentions," Professor Slughorn explained giving us both pointed looks.

     Were they letting us free?

     "You're just going to let us off like that," Reggie asked surprised voicing my exact thoughts.

     "We figured it was punishment enough from your parents," Professor McGonagall added in.

     "Punishment enough from what," I asked confused, surely she didn't know about the abuse that we had to face.

     "Were you not told," she asked confused.

     "Shit," Reggie whispered.

     I looked at him surprised, "What?"

     "It slipped my mind. Oh fuck. I wasn't expecting them to go this far," Reggie yelled in frustration.

     "Mr. Black, we can make arrangements—," Professor McGonagall started saying.

     Reggie cut her off, "That won't be necessary, you will only have to deal with our parents if we don't."

     Professor Slughorn frowned, "If you are saying something, Mr. Black—."

     Reggie cut him off now, "No, we can handle it, trust me."

     He has a thing for cutting people off. So fucking rude sometimes and even to teachers. Why does he feel the need to keep talking without listening to what the other person is saying? God, he needs to learn some manners.

     "Can someone please explain," I voiced loudly getting pissed off with the lack of information.

     "Ms. Malfoy, you will be sharing a dorm with Mr. Black for the rest of the years you attend Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall unloaded gently.

     "WHAT," I screamed angrily turning to Reggie with fury in my eyes.
