summary: Regulus writes a list.
Regulus sits at his uncomfortable desk in Arithmancy. He makes a list in his head.
He's been meaning to for some time, he's never been able to. Arithmancy provides the best opportunity.
The professor scribbles something on the board. Numbers, equations. Regulus shifts his focus.
Notes in the chalk. List in his head.
Rodolphus. Of age. Mature. Sophisticated. Knowledgeable. Intelligent. Wise. Worldly. High Brow. Similar. Older. Tall. Six feet? Protective. Shielding. Enclosing. Warm. Affectionate. Loving. Caring. Supportive. There.
The professor dictates the properties of gold and silver. Au, Ag, metal, nonconductive. Expensive. Used in jewelry.

Regulus smiles, lost in his own world. The professor asks if he's paying attention. Yes. He is. But not to words. Nor the classroom.
Professor's questions. List in his head.
Amicable. Friendly. Civil. Brotherly. Understanding. Trustworthy. Honest. Open. Compassionate. Passionate. Lascivious. Sexy. Sultry. Gentle. Refined. Marvelous. Beautiful. Good. Great. Sublime. Breath-taking. Amazing.
Regulus completes the list in his head. The professor is finished the lesson. Homework is assigned, scrawled across the blackboard the way the list is scrawled across his mind. Regulus scribbles it down on a sheet of parchment. Under it, he revises his list. Simplifies. Abridges. Streamlines.
Mine.
