The impromptu meeting broke up quickly after that. Severus, slipping back into his hiding place, waited several minutes after they left before emerging.
It was almost the full moon and he easily navigated his way back to the castle. It was also just as easy to avoid the prefects on patrol, and within minutes, Severus was slipping into his common room.
Despite it being after midnight, Severus was too wired to sleep, so he settled in a chair by the fireplace, staring into the golden flames. I’m a fool. Why do I care about his secret?
The fire didn’t reply.

“Wake up!”
Severus sat up with a jolt. “Wha--?”
Regulus smirked down at him. “You have a perfectly good bed upstairs, you know. A bed our parents pay good gold for.”
Severus flushed. Having slept in the chair, he was sore, and he felt foolish. “Shut it.”
Regulus shook his head. “Well, luckily no one else is up yet. If you shower now, they won’t know you were up obsessing over a Gryffindor.”
“I wasn’t!”
Regulus just snorted.
Showering helped, and, walking down to breakfast, he slid into his usual spot, surreptitiously eyeing Lupin.
Regulus snorted. “Right. No obsession here.”
