Yes, their comments are often irritating and their behaviour unacceptable, but it is not like they are treated with respect either. Scarlet did not believe she owes someone respect. Due to this, most of the groups often found themselves spending time together outside of the building, away from the other students.

Scarlet was sitting with Regulus and Severus under a large tree, enjoying the fresh air. Scarlet held an acoustic guitar in her hands, strumming a made-up tune for a better mood.

"Why are you vandalising school property?" Scarlet asked Severus who was scribbling down on his Potions book.

"I'm fixing it." He replied shortly.

"You're fixing a textbook?"

Severus nodded in confirmation. "Making it better... I've carried out several experiments from this textbook, and found ways to make it more useful."

Regulus and Scarlet shared a look and snickered. "Nerd."

"Reg, you're a nerd too." Narcissa made an appearance, making a huffing sound before sitting down next to Scarlet.

"What has got you so grumpy?" The girl wondered.

Narcissa pursed her lips before blurting out. "It's Lucius... he's so, so distracting, it's awful!"

Scarlet and Regulus continued to snicker in the background.

"This is not funny..." Narcissa sighed. "And now I'm hearing my mother was planning on betrothing him to Bella a year ago, can you imagine?"

Scarlet faked a loud gasp, mockingly placing her palm on her chest. "Well, you've got to fight for him, Cissa!"

"I bet you can win, go to Auntie and scream, 'he's mine'!" Regulus chimes in, sharing a snicker with the blonde girl.

"Not you two, too!" Narcissa remained unimpressed. "Lucius refuses to stop teasing me about it... it's daunting."

"He always acts like an idiot," Scarlet reminded. "I fear it's his own way of flirting."

"Terrible flirting skill runs in the blood, then?" Regulus teased the blonde.

"Shut up, Reg."

"Have you noticed how Remus Lupin acts all strange once a month?" Severus wondered aloud all of a sudden, changing the topic. "Becomes more irritated about everything, gets more... aggressive."
