The shock on Lorcan's face at the sorting ceremony had to have been picture perfect. Why? There was one reason and he was sitting up at the staff table as the new Potions Intern. Lorcan was glad that he wasn't taking Potions now... but there was still a problem. Lorcan was rarely actually seen in class but more often in the hallway and especially after curfew. He was pretty sure that Caesar wasn't going to be happy with him at all now. And Lorcan knew he was going to have to be so very careful now to keep out of detention. He was sure there was no talking his way out of detention with Caesar Montague.
This didn't stop Lorcan though. No, this just meant being careful. And now he made his way down from the Ravenclaw tower to go outside and enjoy the night sky before it turns to winter. His eyes scanned the hallways as he tiptoed barefoot on the hard stone ground. He wasn't going to wear tough shoes to only echo down the hall. That was just plain stupid. He made his way down the moving staircases and kept his eye on each way they moved. When he was a first and second year this was his favorite place. He loved following the staircases until he was worn out. After curfew the moving staircases were so much fun. Figuring out the path that each one took. He had learned it perfectly before he got into his third year, which happened to the the year he started eying girls. Then none of his precise measurements mattered. Knowing the moving staircase like the back of his hand wasn't useful unless you were trying to quickly find a girl.
Lorcan's times with girls over the years, that got him into quite a bit of trouble. But now he was getting back into the mischievous side of himself. He finally found himself in the entrance hall to make his way outside. He put his hand on the door before he heard steps sounding. He turned around quickly and the face he saw was one person he did not want to see...

Caesar almost made his way to the dungeons and to the Slytherin Boy's dormitory with other Slytherin kids. It was strange to not spend the night at Hogwarts there. He was still in the process of adjusting to the old place as a new person. Besides, being an intern was not as pleasant as many would have thought. While everyone was in bed, sleeping soundly, the new Potions intern was given the mission to check the corridors to make sure no student was where they were not supposed to be. Caesar had no objection to his mission, though. Walking around would give him some time to think.
Once in a blue moon, the eighteen-year-old graduate asked himself if what he had chosen to do with his life was a wise thing. He should have worked for his family's business and learned to become a successful businessman like his father. He still remembered how his mother had reacted to the news that he was coming back to Hogwarts for another year for his internship. The news had not been at all exciting to her like it had been to her son. But nothing could have been done about his decision, because he had moved out on the same day, too.
In all honesty, pedagogy did not fascinate him as much as he made it seem. But working on a lecture and a teaching plan was a thousand times better than working behind the paperdesk and making charts and marketing plans. Business diplomacy is fine, but at the age of eighteen, you just do not want to spend your days with old people discussing things like economic crisis or politics, unless you want a good bedtime story.
So Caesar Eric Montague had no regrets about his choice.
But he had to admit, he was unsure about whether returning to Hogwarts was a good thing to do. It was not about him, it was about someone he truly cared about. Someone he loved even more than he loved himself. The only one that was capable of breaking him. The one and only Rosalie Harper. Needless to say his return was unexpected to most people he knew, and Rosey was not an exception in this case. He had made efforts to keep it secret just so that he could make a grand entrance when the new term started. It had been grand, to be honest. But obviously, not everyone was thrilled about the news. But it did not matter what people think anymore, especially when those people were Rosalie Harper and Lorcan Scarmander.
Not that they did not matter to him anymore. Not that it had stopped hurting. He was simply too tired now.
Every classroom and every corner of the hallways had been checked. There was the entrance hall left and he would call it a night. In all honesty, Caesar did not expect to see much in the entrance hall. But he did not want to miss anything so he kept walking, until he heard someone's breathing. The quietness of the place was a heartless accuser. The intern hid in the dark when the pale light of the moon cast a shadow of a man on the wall of the castle. Whoever that was, he was quick and agile. But unfortunately, he was too careless. Caesar caught sight of the whole figure of the man when he reached the door. And it was not hard to tell who it was.
Moving out of the dark, the Montague heir made a beeline for the rule breaker. “Are you lost, Scarmander?” He asked, raising a brow, looking absolutely amused if not remarkably delighted, when he was close enough to the prey.

Lorcan knew how to sneak around the school after hours. Would it really be that difficult when you did it so many times before? Sure he'd been caught but he tempted to learn from his mistakes. Unfortunately the worst place to go in after hours was the entrance hall. It was large, there wasn't much of a places to hide and everything echoed very well. Sure there were other ways to get outside of the castle, through one of the small courtyards, or just a side door in a random place but Lorcan was going somewhere particular, and the entrance hall was the easiest access point to the outdoors for where he was trying to reach. This was the point where he was going to get caught if he was going to get caught. Make it pass the large doors and he was free until he came back inside.
When the sounds of the steps sound his blue eyes scanned that figure a few times before it had actually registered that it had been Caesar Montague. Sure he wasn't going outside tonight but this was worse than just that. Lorcan didn't like getting in trouble he just liked causing it, if no one was the wiser that he'd done anything or that he'd done a particular something he was just happy. Unfortunately Caesar knew him a little better than he'd like any of the Hogwarts staff to know him.
”Are you lost, Scamander?” Lorcan frowned carefully as he looked at his old friend. ”We resorting back to using each others surnames?” he asked. Lorcan wasn't absolutely sure but he was pretty sure that Caesar blamed him for everything that was going on with Rosalie, maybe it was true, maybe it was Lorcan's fault. Actually it was his fault, he's the one who blabbed it all out, even if Rosalie had kept it a secret so well for so long. It didn't matter Lorcan spilled the beans. Maybe sometimes having a big mouth wasn't the greatest thing in the world.
Caesar Montague and Lorcan Scamander were best friends once upon a time. Then the trip to Rome happened. When Lorcan spoke of being with his best friend and his girlfriend, well to take his side, he had no idea that Caesar was the guy she was going to be married to. He thought maybe his best friend might tell him something so insane. Lorcan's family would have never forced him into such a marriage but it seemed through the purebloods the idea ran rampant.
”To answer your questions though, no I'm not lost, you really think I'd be here without reason, Montague?” he asked the man. He turned back to the door and made way to start opening it up. As he did so he made a bit of conversation. ”I need time to think, unfortunately that means being alone after hours, can't quite do that in the Ravenclaw boy's dormitory can I?” he asked. Lorcan had changed a bit over the summer since everything happened. He'd begun second guessing himself, something that he hadn't done since he was a kid and injured himself. He didn't act like he was doing it now but he knew what was going through his head. Maybe it would have been smarter to stay upstairs in the dormitory. ”And by the way, you don't have to look so excited that you caught your ex-best friend out of bed down in the entrance hall,” he said as he got the door opened. He didn't actually take a step outside but his eyes scanned the night sky, those stars, how beautiful they really were. If he were going to get in trouble he was going to do it doing what he'd come down here to do. So Caesar could give him a year of detention and Lorcan would still finish what he was needing to do. He turned back and looked at Caesar. He got a hurt look in his eyes. ”You know I know I helped cause this rift, but you still could have warned me that you were coming back to school this year as a professor, really I mean secrets are terrible things as you very well know, and yet you keep them just like everyone else does,” he told him. He was actually hurt that his old best friend couldn't even tell him such a silly thing as coming back to Hogwarts as a professor. If they were still friends he would have congratulated him and went on about his rule breaking ways. It was different though. Caesar was mad at Lorcan and he was sure that he wasn't his only target, Rosalie actually took Potions, at least Lorcan had escaped that fate of being in the same classroom as Caesar. Lorcan only had to see him in the corridors and well now when he was bound to get into trouble.

It was already very challenging for Caesar to just look at Lorcan Scarmander's face, because everytime he did, he could not help recalling the way Lorcan had talked about Rosey – the Rosey he loved so much. Caesar wished he could just simply be mad at the boy standing before him. Indignation is temporary, it comes and goes. But hatred stays, for at least a good while. And the Slytherin Alumni had no idea how he could live with it. Be that as it may, he would not deny taking pleasure in seeing Lorcan being tortured. He did not want redemption, he wanted payback. He might not choose to be a businessman, but he was the son of one. And he was taught that nothing was for free, and that every debt must be paid.
Someone had to pay.
“You have a better suggestion?” Caesar said in monotonous voice, showing no interest in the boy's mocking. Suddenly, a cold smile grew on his lips. “Or you'd prefer 'liar', 'traitor' and 'bastard'?” On contrary to what it seemed, it was not that pleasant to him to say out loud that accusation. However, it was better than not saying anything at all. Tolerating, suffering, enduring, he had had enough. Why was he even putting up with this iniquity? Sometimes he wanted to shout at the top of his voice to tell the world that he did not deserve to be treated like this – to be betrayed by the ones he loved and cared about so much. He had wanted to tell Rosey in his letters to her that her apologies did nothing but cut him even more, that he hated it so terribly when could not make up her mind. And try as he would, he could not stop wanting bad things to happen to Lorcan. Very bad things.
It was wrong. Caesar was well aware of it. But he was just a human – weak, jealous and helpless human. And it appears that humans are all made of sins.
The Montague heir said nothing when Lorcan opened the door. He made no move either, just standing still, watching curiously. Of course, how could this Ravenclaw be lose? The boy knew the castle like the back of his hand, partly thanks to his help. Caesar remembered conning some staff members into revealing to him some secret passages and short cuts with the intention of giving Lorcan a helping hand in every single scheme of his. They had been partners-in-crime. They had made a great team before deception tore them apart. Lorcan spoke again, drawing the Slytherin's attention. His saying caused Caesar to sneer in contempt. “Pardon me, I have no idea you're somehow having an internal conflict.” He said, crossing his arms. The chill wind rushed in once the door was opened. The cold, empty hall became even colder. The intern rolled his eyes as Lorcan commented about his unnecessary excitement. “Oh, actually that's of vital importance! After all, your trouble is no longer one of my concerns.” Liar. Better than anyone, Caesar Montague knew that Lorcan's trouble was always one of his concerns. Trying to keep his friend from getting into trouble had turned into some kind of a bad habit that he could not get rid of. Though he continually reminded himself of how he had beent treated by the Scarmander boy, he still unconsciously and unwillingly protected him, just like he protected Scorpius and Rosey. They were the people that mattered so much to him. He could have put a stop to Lorcan and Rosey's tragic love story by telling his parents and hers. They would have done anything in their capability to bring her back to his side. And impartially, no one really had any idea of what they were capable of. But he chose to keep them in the dark about everything. He chose to pretend like nothing had happened. He chose to protect the two people that had hurt him so badly.
Never before had Caesar hated himself this much.
The intern raised a brow on hearing Lorcan's voice again. He did not try to avoid those eyes, which seemed as though they were trying to accused him of hurting an innocent soul. Innocence and Lorcan Scarmander? Oh, they were very much unacquainted. “Why should I have done that? What's the point?” Asked Caesar, tilting his head to a side. “So you could have been more... prepared? So you could have figured out how to deal with me?” His return was supposed to be a nice surprise. But he guessed it was no longer nice to certain people. It should be a chance for him to be with the people he cared about. Ironically, it turned out to be a chance for him to torture them. And he would take every chance he had, that is what it takes to be a Montague – decisiveness. “This secret would not be a bad thing if you had not lied to me first.” His green eyes darkened as words slipped out of his lips.
“You reap what you sow, Lorcan.”

Lorcan just wanted them all to be friends again. In his opinion he didn't do anything wrong. He kept a secret for Rosalie that he didn't even want to keep in the first place. Caesar was the one who didn't even tell him that Rosalie and himself were engaged. Typically that tends to be big news when you find out. Something you tell one of your best friends. If Lorcan had found out that Caesar was the other guy he either would have stopped everything with Rosalie or he would have talked to them. Then again Lorcan didn't always think before doing so there's no actual way to tell what he would do in the end had the circumstance been different.
Caesar was so dry, so cold when he spoke to Lorcan. ”You have a better suggestion? Or you'd prefer 'liar', 'traitor' and 'bastard'?” Lorcan frowned and looked back out at the stars. He could have landed a nice punch into Caesar's face but he still had too much respect for him to do such a thing. He still thought of Caesar as a good friend of his. They were just going through some problems. Then again would those problems ever be able to be fixed? ”I didn't lie about anything, I'm no traitor either, bastard, I can understand that one, but you know what, I had no idea you were the other guy, you could have told me you were engaged to her, we all have our faults, you're no better than her or I, you kept things too. She asked me to keep the secret of me and her, I see why now, but I had no idea, only right before school ended did I even find out that she was engaged, and she never told me who it was, typically something like that is something that you tell your friend, it's not fair to call me a liar and a traitor when you've done the exact same thing,” he said. That time the hurt in his voice was true. He was betrayed by his best friend as well. ”At least I had the balls to up and say it, even if it was by accident. And I have no reason to apologize for being happy with her,” he said rather quietly, his blue eyes scanned the night sky the stars were always so very spectacular from Hogwarts.
”Pardon me, I have no idea you're somehow having an internal conflict. Oh, actually that's of vital importance! After all, you're trouble is no longer one of my concerns.” ”Then leave me alone,” he told Caesar, ”put me in detention and go away, I'd rather have this time to myself than explaining it all to you.” He hated talking to Caesar the way he was but he was just as upset at Caesar as Caesar was upset at him. It wasn't fair at all that Caesar sat there accusing him of all this when he'd done the exact same thing. Why was this all only his fault? Or why did it seem that way? Lorcan still thought of Caesar as brother, these were two young men who couldn't get along at the moment but they would always be best friends. The trouble with girls was that they came in between best friends.
”Why should I have done that? What's the point? So you could have been more... prepared? So you could have figured out how to deal with me?” Lorcan turned back and looked at his friend. ”No, because you were my friend when summer began, and it would have been amazing to have your best friend on staff,” he said. He couldn't keep being mad. Lorcan didn't have the heart for it. He couldn't snap at Caesar, now he just wanted to be alone. He wanted to work through all this on his own. He didn't need to be pestered by Caesar, he didn't want to think about all he had done. He couldn't even snap out a reply when Caesar told him, ”this secret would not be a bad thing had you not lied to me first. You reap what you sow, Lorcan.” Lorcan shook his head at how cold his friend was his blue eyes looked down to the ground. Lorcan wasn't speechless often but when he was it meant something. He wasn't going to offer anything else to Caesar. It wasn't fair that he was being blamed for it all. It wasn't right.
