see regulus had no clue what he was getting himself into when he had offered to help you study for your potions exam, so here he now was sitting on your bed at 2:30am scolding you everytime you cut the frog leg wrong, or add the incorrect amount of newts eye.

regulus pinched the bridge of his nose letting out a sigh of frustration, course he wasn't actually mad at you, see regulus had a big crush on you, though he vowed to never act on it, and to never tell anyone, seeing you dice the bicorn horn instead of cubing it he huffed, snatching the knife from you, and pushing you out the way with his hip, okay maybe he was slightly getting annoyed with you,

"goodness how much of a fool can you be to get it this wrong, i've already given you a demonstration twice, have you got something wrong with your brain or are you just utterly stupid?" he scolded whilst looking at your face dicing the bicorn horn with ease, eyes trained on you as he did so. the both of you sat in silence for a moment more regulus, raised his eyebrows. "do the next step then, read the recipe book and do it for crying out loud." he was very grouchy today, it was in fact 2:30am regulus being the 'model student' he is would be in bed by 10 and asleep by 11.

he moved out the way, sitting back onto your bed, putting his book up to his face, just looking over it to stare at you, "i thought you were smart why do you even need me helping you?" was that a compliment, sort of, he meant it in a snarky way but in also a 'hey i want you bad' way

regulus set his book down onto the bed covers, he leaned to look over the cauldron his face close to yours, gosh he didnt mean to get so close he could practically feel your breath on his skin, he felt goosebumps along his arms, he turned his head to face you, "it doesn't look as bad as i thought it would." another backhanded compliment, "the potion i meant." he felt his stomach flip, as soon as your face had turned to face him he leaned in smushing your lips together, crap.
