first day back to hogwarts (4 january 1976)
third pov

as aquila rushed out of the room, the boys followed her, desperate for some kind of answer.

"aquila!"
"keila, what was that!"
"aqua, stop!"
"star, slow down!"

aquila slowed down a small bit at the sound of her little brothers, but still continued on her way to escape the common room.

they reached her, and regulus reached to softly turn her towards them.

he stopped when he saw there were tears in her eyes.

older aodhán's eyes widened, as he realized that this must have been the brewing of what led to her outburst that solidified their friendship, and he sat beside his mum, hoping to provide comfort.

"keila, what was that?" regulus asked softly, as he held her face between his hands, the other three boys coming to form a circle around her.

"i can't do this, reg..." aquila cried, "they hurt me so bad!"

"wait, hurt you!" younger aodhán commented as he perked up in older aquila's arms, his small eyebrows furrowed, before grasping her tighter, not wanting her to be hurt.

"how, star, how did they hurt you?" barty questioned, as he, rabastan, and evan came to hug her.

aquila was silent for a moment in her tears, before slowly answering, "they were faking everything. mother paid them to be my friend, they faked our whole friendship, pretended to care about me!"

the boys were flabbergasted. the same look of shock filled all four of their faces.

"aquila, love, i'm not sure that's true... those girls would never do anything to hurt you..." evan responded carefully, not wanting to push the fragile girl off the edge.

rabastan, barty, and regulus hummed in agreement, regulus' eyebrows furrowed as he thought about what could have made her think that.

aquila's tears abruptly stopped, as she straightened up, and shook them off of her.

"this is really not good..." regulus mumbled, rushing to his older sister, who was still seated between james and hailey, taking his place between the two girls, who wrapped their arms around him in comfort.

all four of the slytherins looked confused as she glared at them.

"you're saying you don't believe me?!" aquila spat, looking at them, betrayed.
