[22.03]      Hey! funny seeing you here

 

[22.14]      <Message read>

 

[22.16]      You know it’s one thing to ignore      me in person but now this, come on reg you’re killing me here.

 

[22.30]     FirstlyI didn’t ignore you, I was at work and I didn’t feel like talking, and secondly I barely recognised you.

 

[22.32]     Ahh fair enough then I’ll let you off this time :)

 

[22.32]     So what are you doing on a dating app? I thought you had plenty of attention

 

[22.34]     Would I be on this dreaded app if I did, besides you don’t know anything about me so who are you to judge.

 

[22.36]      Okay, that’s fair. I shouldn’t have assumed. But hey, maybe this is my chance to actually get to know you.

 

[22.37]      It would make Sirius far to happy

 

[22.39]     What do you mean?

 

[22.43]      It’s just that Sirius always brings up how you’re single and, well, apparently attractive. I think he might be trying to play matchmaker here.

 

[22.45]       Wait, seriously? Sirius has been trying to set us up? That’s… unexpected. But also, kind of funny.

 

[22.46]       Has he mentioned anything to you?

 

[22.47]      He’s dropped a few hints here and there, but nothing too obvious. I always thought he was just messing around, though.

 

[22.49]     I mean I did have a bit of a thing for you when I was younger

 

[22.50]    Oh.. this is gold truly the regulus black king of being an asshole toward me had a CRUSH on me.

 

[22.50]    Just so you know I’m never going to let you live this down ;)

 

[22.52]     I fear I’ve made a great mistake

 

***

 

 

[22.55]    Padfoot you’re not going to believe who I was just talking to

 

[22.52]    Oh prongs! Has some young maiden swept you away from me 🥹

 

[22.54]     Oh its much better than that I fear I’ve stole the heart of your one and only brother 

 

[22.54]      REGULUS??? My Regulus? My brooding, impossibly dramatic little brother who pretends he’s too good for human connection?

 

[22.55]      The very same. And you’re going to die when you hear this—he just admitted to having a crush on me when we were younger.

 

[22.55]       YOU’RE LYING. No. No, this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I knew it. I KNEW it.

 

[22.55]       Oh, and by the way he’s also onto you. Suspects you’ve been playing matchmaker.

 

[22.56]  "Suspects"?? Please, I’ve been orchestrating this for months. Took you both long enough.

 

***

[23.02]    Tell me why I just received I message from my brother saying ‘omg I’m so happy for you and James, I’ve always wanted another brother 😁’  care to explain?

 

[23.03]     …Okay, so maybe I let it slip. But in my defense, his reaction was hilarious.

 

[23.04]     You’ve officially made my life harder. Congratulations.

 

[23.13]     I knew telling you was a mistake.

 

[23.17]     Oh, come on, Reg. You can’t expect me to just ignore this. This is golden.

 

[23.19]     If I disappear mysteriously, tell everyone it was YOUR fault.

 

[23.19]     Noted. But before you go into hiding, can I get the chance to change your mind about me?

 

[23.22]     You really are relentless, aren’t you?

 

[23.25]     What can I say? I love a challenge.
