Another Way Out. Regulus x reader

Part 1.7

Just because I don't fly around doesn't mean I have the easier job" I defend.
I can't believe it, people always say that being a keeper isn't as hard. It's not easier it just has its own struggles.

"Don't take it personally y/n, you are an amazing flyer but the position you play is not as difficult as other ones" James continued.

"Look James please stop talking. You are currently insulting the position I have been playing for almost three years and I honestly don't appreciate it." I finally said to James.

James is a really great guy but sometimes he just doesn't know when to stop.

After I said that James saw that I was obviously getting annoyed so he put his hands up and said
"Sorry. I took it too far"
"It's alright James" I smiled.

Once we were on the field the captain, Phoebe, picked up the quaffle and looked at all of us.

"Okay guys, unfortunately, there was a screw-up with the practice schedules so we will be sharing the field with the Slytherin team today. We will have the left side of the field and they will have the right." She exclaimed.

Oh my god, Regulus is on the Slytherin team, he is going to see me practice. I really hope I don't embarrass myself.

" regardless of this minor inconvenience I still want to see everyone give 110% today. I want to see you all run three laps around the field. And I better not see anyone cut before the goal posts or they will be the reason everyone has to run an extra four laps." Phoebe yelled.

Immediately after she said that we all started running laps.

Personally, I don't mind running laps since I was part of my muggle elementary school running club and even after changing to Hogwarts, I continued to run for fun.

James has never been great at running laps and was at the back of the group obviously struggling. I chuckled to myself as I watched James stumble while trying to keep up.

After lap two I saw the Slytherin team walk onto the field.

As much as I didn't want to admit it I was looking at the entire team, trying to find regulus.

After a minute of looking, I spotted him in the back of the group.

And damn he looked good.

His green uniform fit perfectly on him, it didn't make his muscles too obvious but they did define them more than his regular clothes did.

Green definitely suited him. The green paired up with his hair very nicely. It also made the grey of his eyes pop. The eyes that were currently staring at me!
Regulus was looking right at me.

I quickly looked away and started to blush.

I can't believe he caught me staring.

I tried really hard to not look back at him but it was almost like he was a magnet.

As soon as my eyes looked back at where he was I realized he was gone.

Where did he go?

"You know. It's not nice to stare at people" I heard a voice right next to me say.

I jumped a bit since the voice caught me off guard.
I looked to my right and realized it was Regulus.

"What?" I questioned, I didn't really process what he had said earlier until a second later.

"First of all, I wasn't staring, and second, how did you get here so quickly? I didn't even see you start running" I asked
A big smirk spread across Reguluses face.

"I'm just really fast," he said before he overtook me and the rest of the Gryffindor team.

After my third lap, I went over to my broom and waited for instructions from Phoebe.

"Alright, today we will be working on actually getting the quaffles into the hoops. Since y/n you are an incredibly talented keeper I want you to try your best to make sure none of them get points. If everyone is able to get them past y/n at least four times I will call the end of practice. Everyone understand" Phoebe yelled.

"Yes Phoebe" everyone yelled
"Alright let's get a move on" she yelled before pulling me to the side.

"Y/n on every third goal I want you to let the quaffle in. Since Slytherin is here I want them to think that you are less Competent than you are. Do you understand " Phoebe asked me.

"Perfectly" I responded.

I ran over to my broom and began to fly to position.
I think the idea of me seeming bad is brilliant but I hate that I am going to have to act like I can't keep in front of Regulus.

I don't understand why I care so much about what he thinks.

As I began to think about Regulus I looked over to see him already looking at me. I was so shocked that I completely let a quaffle fly past me into the second ring.

Shit!

I could see Regulus chuckle.

I realized that I had to snap out of it and focus.
As I focused I made sure that I kept the latter of every three.

At some point though I saw someone fly right past me and score a point. It was Regulus?
He wasn't supposed to be on this side of the field.
"What are you doing" I yelled to regulus.

But Regulus just looked at me and then said.
"Just trying to see if I could break your every three pattern."

As he flew away I was left in Shock.
How had he noticed what I was doing?

No. I can't let him keep distracting me. I need to keep my head in The game.

I continued practice but I switched the pattern to be every four then two then three.

After everyone had made it in at least four times Phoebe called for the end of practice.

"Great job everybody, make sure to be here tomorrow by four instead of three since it's Green Day tomorrow," Phoebe said
After she mentioned Green Day everyone groaned. Tomorrow was going to suck.

"Oh get over it. I'll see you all tomorrow. Have a good night" she announced
And with that practice was over.

After she dismissed us I quickly ran over to the changing rooms and got out of my uniform and back into my school clothes. I knew I was going to need to stay behind so I could talk to Regulus so I wanted to get changed quickly so I wouldn't miss him.

After changing I waited outside for a few minutes before Regulus walked over to the changing rooms.

"Wait regulus" I called before he walked in.
Regulus turned around and Damn. Even while he was sweaty he looked good.

He walked over to me and said
"What do you need me for?"
His sweat didn't smell bad. He obviously wore deodorant but it was different. Pheromones?

"Umm, I was wondering if you wanted to work on our project a little more today, or tomorrow? I think if we do we can start working on actually making to potion soon." I asked hurriedly.

Regulus looked at me for a second, he had an expression that I had never seen before, what was it?
"Sure, let's meet tomorrow. I have something to do tonight." Regulus said.

"Sure, okay um. See you then" I said before walking away.

What is up with me? Whenever he is around I cannot for the life of my think clearly.

Am I dying!
