All of the stars (regulus Black)

~11~

not edited one again loves ;-)

Time skip - two years

The sheer abundance of Slytherins was enough to scare many away but the stubbornness of Estelle that appeared when she laid eyes on Regulus Black hanging around Lucius Malfoy and Evan Rosier forced her onto her bean bag chair and paying attention to her lesson.

Owls year work had been seemingly harder already and they were only on the first day of lessons this year. With the amount of pair work set she would also have to be working with a far few of the slimy snakes in her class as they had bullied the 2 hufflepuffs and Ravenclaw into dropping out of astronomy all together.

The lesson was about introducing abstract thinking when looking at and reading the stars. It had dragged on until 9:30 moving in a snake style riddle until the Professor announced homework, which was to link yourself to the sky or stars using abstract thinking. This was dumb. Estelle's name was literally star, Regulus was a star and Lucius was a constellation of stars.

"Miss Potter, Mr Black, Miss Black and Mr Malfoy you must work in a group as to star spot and log it for your homework as the challenge set is too simple for you,"

A huge huff escaped Estelle's mouth. In the two years since they had met Regulus and Estelle had only grown colder to each other and every secret glance was a snare or sarcastic expression.

"So Princess, how do you feel about working with people who actually know what they're doing in this subject," Bellatrix planted herself next to the Gryffindor girl stroking her face and twisting her own tight dark curls.

"Don't touch Bella, we wouldn't want to catch whatever this Blood Traitor has been touching," Regulus snapped, pulling the girl's hand from Estelle's face.

"I haven't been touching anything Black the only thing you'd catch from me is a bit of human decency and that would do you no harm."

"Anyway little girl we will meet you in the library at 11:30 tomorrow, we wouldn't want to be seen in daylight with people like you," Lucius brought himself into the conversation.

"Honestly Lucius go and fuck yourself," She snarled out before making her way back to her common room to start on homework.

It seemed as if the walk to her common room became longer and longer each day.

"Godric," Estelle spoke tiredly to the fat lady portrait.

"You don't sound to enthusiastic about this Miss potter,"

"Just open the fucking door" she snapped yawning as the door opened and she almost ran to the fire to sit down laying her head on her brothers shoulder.

"I swear I'm going to pitch myself off the astronomy tower,"

"Why ever would you want to do that," Sirius chuckled.

"Shut the fuck up Black why couldn't you have been the younger brother instead of your stupid idiot brother," She paused,

"Him and his little friends trying to tell me i'm bad at astronomy just because you're parents named you after the stars like little losers doesn't mean you're any good at looking at them,"

"Elle, your name is Estelle and Sirius,"

"Yeh no offense Sirius and I don't count because i'm not a flat headed idiot," She said shoving herself deeper into the sofa pillows. Ugh why did life have to be so hard.

"I'm being forced to work with Princess Black, and Lucius, Bellatrix is kind of hot actually," She considered calming herself down.

"BELLATRIX BLACK IS NOT HOT, THAT'S MY COUSIN," Sirius exclaimed.
