Under a Random Tree

[And your boyfriend]

[Uhhh...I'm not gonna bad talk you!]

Scorpius nods. "Yeah, there aren't too many people. Many of the people that do posses prejudice views are in Slytherin. Some even seem to be changing their views for the better though," he says. He glances at his scarf, which has miraculously turned out exceptionally well. "What do I do now?" he asks. "How do I finish it?"

"Vell you take the needles and you go like this, and then you do this." Viktor explains what to do in detail but Alex is trying to make her cute post that she thought of for Regulus so I'm not going to google it.

"Oh, alright," he says thinking for a moment then mimicking what Viktor shows him. "Ta-da!" he says after finishing the scarf. "Hey! It didn't turn out that bad!" He says impressed with himself.

Viktor smiles at Scorpius before turning to look at his scarf. "Ve are pretty good at this. "Ve could start a business of our own."

"You know, that's not a bad idea. I'm sure people would love having stuff made from two sexy blokes like ourselves," he says grinning. "I mean, there's no need to charge them. I wouldn't mind doing it out of generosity."

"Exactly. No von can resist generous, sexy guys." He laughs and smiles proudly at his scarf.

"I should probably get back to the castle," he says smiling and standing up. "I'll see you soon though, and we can knit and talk again."

Viktor also stands up and smiles. "Ok, I hope Faye likes the scarf. See you around Scorp." He smiles again before walking back to the castle.

"Thanks, bye Viktor!" he says while heading back to the castle.

Nikki skipped down to the Lake, a copy of the newest Potions magazine, as well as a notebook and pen, under her arm. Settling down comfortable, she began to read eagerly, devouring the new information. Every now and then, she would jot a note or two down in her notebook.

Regulus walks back up to the castle, daydreaming about his Viktor happily and completely lost in thought. He doesn't look where he's going and trips over someone. "Oh! Sorry!" he says, helping her up.

Nikki smiled up at the boy. "No worries. I am just sitting here, a pawn in Gravity's maneuverings against us mere mortals, and thus, by no intent of my own, tripping you." She stretched out her hand. "I am Nikki, and not nearly as insane as I just sounded."

Regulus chuckled at her. "I'm Regulus, and I can't exactly vouch for my own sanity, so I think we're good," he said with a smile.

[Yes, twin. Yes you are. Because we're twins, so we have to be insane.]

[Dee, of course I am insane. Nikki just doesn't like to admit it.]

"Pleasure to meet you." She sat back down, and picked up her copy of the Potions magazine. "Do you like Potions? There have been some amazing developments this month!"

Regulus sits down next to her, realizing how little he actually socializes with anyone at all these days. "No, they're not really my thing," he says, trying not to think about Viktor who seems to inhabit his thoughts 24/7.

Nikki nodded. "Well, what is your thing? I am a total ravenclaw, I love everything, but most people aren't as into every subject as I am. It is my goal to read every book in the Library." She slapped both hands over her mouth. "I jeep talking after asking you a question! How rude of me!"

Regulus laughed; she seemed sweet, if a little odd. "I'm less of a book person and more of a quidditch person," he explained.

Nikki put her book down. "Really?" She beckonded to him to sit down next to her. "I play too! What position do you play?"

Regulus is already sitting down next to her. "I'm seeker," he said with a proud grin. "What position are you? You on the Ravenclaw team? I could have sworn you looked familiar," he said.

"So, you are my rival? I am Seeker too." She pretended to look in up and down, as if weighing her competition. "To be honest, I am more of a recreational player, but so few people in Ravenclaw play, I am on the team."

Regulus looked amused. "Well then I apologize in advance for kicking your ass the next game," he said with a smirk.
