Chapter 4
"Hello?" It is James that opens the door. "I've heard you brought company."
"Yeah. I brought my friends Evan and Pandora. Got a problem?" Regulus says sternly.
If he does have a problem he can deal with it because I should be at home and not here. This is tyranny!
"Well, I suppose not. But they might have to go back if the king and queen are too mad." James replies with a grin. "Would you like to see your brother?"
"Sirius? Would he like to see me...?" Regulus hesitates.
Sirius hates me.
Why would he want to see me?
He should hate me.
"Yeah, he really does. It's totally up to you through. But I think you should talk to him." James's grin falters. Everyone is silent for a moment. "I'm sorry. That was probably too soon and I overstepped and I- am rambling again. Alright, I will be back later!" James says awkwardly and walks out of the room.
What?
Why would Sirius want to see me?
I was horrible to him.
I'm the reason he didn't fight to stay at home. It's my fault.
So, why should he care to see me?
To yell at me?
To tell me I'm terrible?
I can't.
But he deserves to know I know I'm horrid.
He should be able to yell at me.
He should-!
"Are you okay, Reg?" Pandora asked while Evan grabbed his shoulder.
"Mhm." Regulus barely got out before tears rushed through his eyes.
"Oh, my Reggie. It will all be okay" Pandora said as the twins wrapped him in hugs.

James's point of view
He runs to Sirius's room.
Oh god. Oh god. I messed up.
I overstepped.
I rambled.
I shouldn't have told him so soon.
He reaches Sirius's door. He knocks before letting himself in. Sirius is still asleep, though it is twelve PM. James shakes him awake.
"I'm sorry."
