Chapter 4
When Remus got back to his classroom, instead of the silent students he expected, he found his students listening intently to a young man with black curly hair and pale skin who was explaining his theories about Hamlet and Horatio's relationship.
Ah. Regulus.
Regulus was Sirius' little brother. He was a very intelligent nineteen year old. His parents had decided to have him when Sirius came out as gay at fifteen. He was Sirius' "replacement" in their parents' eyes. They were similar but also so different. Sirius was impulsive, a rebel kid and liked fooling around. Regulus was intelligent, calculating, cunning and intelligent. Sirius was soft whereas Regulus was rough around the edges. They did have something in common though; they had both had crushes on James Potter.
Remus had forgotten that Regulus was starting his teacher learning today. Regulus was going to be his assistant teacher for the next year or so as part of his teaching degree.
"Hello, Mr Black. How have my students been getting on in my absence?" Remus asked.
Regulus looked up from his PowerPoint and replied "they seem enthralled by my theories and we've had several lively discussions."
Remus chuckled softly then asked with a raised eyebrow and a grin "do you remember that they were meant to be learning about the history behind Hamlet and the first act and not your convuluted theories about Hamlet's supposed queerness and relationship with his best friend?"
Regulus blushed in slight embarrassment then replied "I thought this was important too. It opened up the discussion about Shakespeare's own bisexuality."
Remus rolled his eyes but relented.
Remus sat on the desk and watched Regulus continue where he left off before Remus had walked in.
Regulus eventually finished, went over to Remus and whispered in his ear "that girl two rows back in the middle with his hood up has been making heart eyes at you since you walked in."
Remus chuckled softly then whispered back "that boy in the front row in the right hand corner has been practically drooling over you for the past ten minutes."
Regulus looked at the student that Remus was referring to and chuckled then asked "are you sure?"
"Positive" Remus affirmed.
