"Maybe she is our mum..." James whispered to Sirius.

"Go eat." I demanded, "I'll see you guys around."

"Okay..." Peter smiled.

"See you around." Remus waved.

"See ya." James pretended to tip a fedora.

"Bye mum!" Sirius yelled, enthusiastically.

I waited for them to leave and made sure that they were out of sight before I sprinted outside. I was running feeling the late morning breeze hitting my face. I could smell the trees and wet grass. I could hear a few students practicing spells and studying plants.

'I need to tell Hagrid about the Marauders. He can't say anything about Regulus.'

I slipped a few times and scrapped my left knee and got a few scratches on my palms. I tripped over a rock right in front of Hagrid's hut but I quickly got up and knocked on his door. The door swung open.

"(Y/n)?"

"H...he...heyy..." I said, out of breath.

"What happened ter yer?" Hagrid looked down at me. My hair was messed up from the wind and I still had scrapes and scratches. I tried responding but I was just panting, "Come inside, I'll get you some tea and bandages."

*5 minutes later*

I was sitting in one of Hagrid's arm chairs, it was double my size but it was very comfortable. Hagrid helped bandage me and gave me a cup of tea.

"Now...what are yer doing?"

"I need you to do me a favor." Hagrid nodded his head, signaling me to continue, "Whatever you do, don't tell the Marauders about Regulus."

"What? Why?"

"There's a lot to explain, but please. Please don't tell them I was talking to Regulus. Especially Sirius."

"Now if I'm going to lie I'm going to need a valid reason." Hagrid crossed his arms.

"Okay fine. Sirius told me not to talk or even look at Regulus."

"Then why do you?" He asked.

"Because I'm curious! Nobody knows that much about Regulus, I'm interested in seeing who he really is. Please don't tell the Marauders." I pleaded.

"Hmmm..." Hagrid took a few seconds to think, "alright."

"Thank you, Hagrid! And thanks for the tea and bandages but I should get going."

"Get going? Where?"

"I'm going look around the castle. I also need to find the Marauders for...something."

"Okay, try not to get anymore bruises, and scratches, aright?"

"I'll try. Bye Hagrid." I smiled and waved.

"Goodbye (y/n)." Hagrid did the same.

Peter's pov

"Don't you guys think (y/n) was acting a little...off?" I asked.

"(Y/n) is always off. That's why we're friends with her." Padfoot casually responded.

"I know, (y/n) is weird, in a good way of course, but..."

"But what?" Prongs questioned while shoving half a pancake in his mouth.

"Uh- I don't know...she seemed nervous..."

"Mmm...maybe. But it can also be about transferring here. You know, being far from America. I'm sure she's fine, and if she's not I'll give her some chocolate." Moony shrugged.

"I guess..." I sighed.

"Oh look! Evans is coming!" Prongs cleaned himself for a bit. "Good morning, Evans." He smiled and nodded.

"Humph!" Evans turned her head from our direction.

"Good effort." Moony patted Prongs' back, trying not to laugh.

"Things will get better between Evans and I. I just know it."

Regulus's pov

'That girl is going to make me question everything.' I thought. I was at the Black Lake, hoping that (y/n) wasn't looking for me. 'I'm not ready for those sort of questions.'

"Regulus?"

'Please don't be (y/n), please don't be
(y/n), please don't be (y/n)...' I hoped.

"Are you deaf, you bloody idiot?" That was not (y/n). She doesn't approach people like that. I turned around.

"Evan Rosier?"

"Regulus Arcturus Black? Come on? What's with the full name?" Evan was walking towards me, his pale skin blending in with the light, and with his blonde hair. The one feature that stood out from Evan's physical appearance was his sparkly, blue eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

"That sounds a bit rude. I was on a walk, what are you doing here?"

"I was just thinking."

"About?"

"Nothing important."

"Well if it's nothing important then tell me."

"I don't want to waste your time."

"Reg, come on, you never waste my time."

'What do I say? What do I say? I can't say I was thinking about (y/n) because she's a muggle-born. I can't say I was thinking if I'm a blood puritist or not, I would get into deep trouble.'

"A book." I said firmly.

"A book about what? I can't read your mind."

'I'm grateful for that.'

"Magical creatures. I was bored, so I was reading about Thestrals."

"Oh...okay." Evan shrugged.

"That's it?"

"Well what do you want me to say?"

"Uh- nothing. It's fine."

"I'll be off then." He sighed. I gave Evan a small smile and he began to walk away, but then suddenly stopped and turned back facing me. "I heard that new transfer student...eh...what's it? (L/n)? She's a mudblood. Stay away from her. Especially since she's friends with idiots like the Marauders."

"Okay, no need to worry." I said. Evan smiled and turned away. He was out of sight.

I groaned.

'That girl is going to get me killed.'
