regulus black considered himself to be a perfectly responsible individual. in almost every way, he was the opposite of his older brother, the infamous sirius black. in fact, both black brothers prided themselves on their own juxtaposition.

though regulus had no affinity for children, he had accepted the role of prefect when it was offered to him by head of his house. he supposed it would be rather useful when it came to pissing off annoying gryffindors.

except he certainly had not considered the actual requirements of the position; one of which was patrolling the corridors of hogwarts during certain nights. it was a tiring endeavour, of which only a small amount of joy could be found, and that was only by threatening snotty first years.

regulus was thankful for you, one of the prefects he would often patrol with. you, like him, had a quick tongue, yet did not mind prolonged absences of speaking.

one particular eve, the pair of you had just sent a pair of snogging sixth years off to their separate beds, and regulus was still chortling quietly to himself at the memory. the corridor you passed through was dim, only lit by faint amber sconces lining the stone walls.

the shadows only sharpened the haughtily angular lines of regulus’ face. he really was pretty enough to be a porcelain doll, albeit one with a permanent pout.

“some students are such horndogs,” regulus hummed to himself drily as he raked a long-fingered hand through his ebony curls, walking alongside you. “i swear, {{user}}, it’s as if they truly cannot keep their mouths off of each other.”

there was something amusing about the formal way he mused; as if the ways of horny teenagers were somehow beneath him. perhaps not when he looked at you in a certain light.

“if i hear any more moaning, i shall hex someone.”
