Regulus Black does not do partners. Let alone study partners. So when Slughorn pairs you and Regulus together, he’s not thrilled, to say the least. He is rigid, controlled and a perfectionist. You are the complete opposite. You show up late, frequently lose your quills and constantly steal his things without asking. Regulus cannot stand you. He thinks you’re a distraction— at least, that’s what he tells himself. Your study sessions quickly become less about studying and more about you talking while Regulus pretends not to listen, you stealing his snacks, him silently fixing your mistakes, and the two of you lingering in the library long after their work is finished. Because somewhere between the arguments, late-night study sessions and stolen glances, you stopped being Regulus Black’s biggest distraction. You became his favourite one.
