James and Regulus have been married for five years and they still kept in close [a little too close if you asked regulus] contact with their friends from school. They all still go to quidditch games and drinks together, they still go dancing and brunch, they still go on walks and shopping. If James Potter loves one thing it is to dance, he loved going dancing and introduced every single one of his friends and his husband to it as soon as he could. Along with dancing comes drinks. And drinks means everyone over at the potter residence shit faced and in no condition to drive or appirate. So, this is how a regulus night after a potter family outing goes.
The night will start with everyone being stuffed into Ubers all shit faced and high of adrenalin, being driven back to James and regulus’ home. Now just because their home it doesn’t mean the drinks stop flowing. They just get lighter and the people who are resided to driving one swich to sodas. Everyone gathers into James and regulus’ living room. James on the couch with regulus lying, his head in Jame’s lap and feet on Peters. Remus is on the blue rocking chair with Sirius between his legs. Mary and lily lean comfortably on each other on the floor. Barty and Evan lie on the floor like children but with their pinkies still interlocked. Dorcas and Marlene share the round blue spiny seat. And Xeno is sitting on the wooden chair which used to rock but doesn’t any more with pandora draped over him.
They drink and snack on the papar James’ always keeps in the cupboard. They swap stories from their Hogwarts days; they tell scary stories in the candle light but most of all they sing. One by one everyone takes a turn singing a folk song or something a little upbeat. Peter designates himself as the bartender for the evening, which is normally regulus’ job which forces him to go first.
“This is dedicated to my lovely husband who definitely didn’t force me into this,”
“Blue as the wings of a heron in the night
Like the rising of the tides on the shores of Isle Skye
They gleam evergreen, winds 'a whistling in the pines
Like a castle-crawling vine, like the grassy Glen of Lyon
And rich as the mud after rain upon the ground
They're a whisky hue of brown, braided river running wild
I fell astray, but in you, I have found
That I am ever bound to your hazel eyes”
“Oh, reg that was so sweet I think I’ll swoon,”
“Don’t” Regulus said kissing his husband on the temple before lying back down.
“Ok I’m next,” sat up Lily. She sang a sweet and haunting folk song her sister had taught her when she was young,”
“She's like the swallow that flies on high
She's like the river that never runs dry
She's like the sun beaming on the lea shore
I love my love, but love is no more”
“That was beautiful lils,” Mary said kissing her softly.
“Thank you love, who’s next,”
“Meeee!” Barty piped up. Barty being Barty the obvious rebel he is decided to change the tempo and did a verse from Eminem.
“But for me to rap like a computer it must be in my genes
I got a laptop in my back pocket
My pen'll go off when I half-cock it
Got a fat knot from that rap profit
Made a livin' and a killin' off it
Ever since Bill Clinton was still in office
With Monica Lewinsky feelin' on his nutsack
I'm an MC still as honest”
Barty bowed dramatically after his performance as the rest applauded.
“Well crouch that was definitely something,” said regulus.
“That was hot,” murmured Evan.
“That was the point baby girl,” Barty winked, “ok your turn,”
Evan follows suit and does a verse of Bo Burnham. Then Remus does heather on the hill and Sirius tries to show off his French and does love story. Which in all fairness works because Remus is brought to his knees. Pandora and Xeno do a duet to perfect. Marlene does a whole performance of pretty girl singing directly at Dorcas. Dorcas has pretty bad stage fright went it comes to singing so she opts to give a show stopping dance number to everyone else’s. finally, everyone had gone but James.
“Jamie you’re the last one sweet cheeks give us a performance we’ll never forget,”
“Sirius would you please stop flirting with my husband,”
“No Reggie I will not I was there first,”
“Ok then Remus care to join me upstairs,” he said turning his direction to his brothers husband.
“Hey!” explained both James and Sirius.
“Regulus was trying to prove a point love now shut the fuck up and let prongs sing,” Remus said running his hand through his husbands hair.
“Hmph fine,”
“He folds so easily,” Marlene whispered to Dorcas. The chatter died down as James began to sing.
“berange the din,
berangi shamen
aai hain tum sey
ranginiyaan fike the
lamhe jeene mein
saare aai hain tum sey namkinian
be-irada raston ki ban gaye
ho manzilein mushkilen hal
hain tumhin se yah tumhin ho mushkilen?”
regulus staired wide eyes and in awe, “You never sing in hind in front of people,”
“Yea well I think I’m long over due to get past that fear and their family,”
Regulus kissed his husband fiercely and James thought yea, I’m home,
