Pulchritudinous.
August 9th, 1976.
James, always an early bird, was the first to wake up, he walked out of Regulus’s room when the younger boy was still asleep and stopped for a minute just to look at him.
I got you, thought James, before leaving the room.
They didn’t talk about that night.
If you asked James Potter how many times, he’s fallen in love with someone in his lifetime he would laugh, because the answer isn’t that simple. Truth be told he falls in love so easily, he’s a little bit in love with everyone he meets.
He fell in love with Peter when he first moved to Britain from India. He was only five years old; his parents were both raised in this country and moved back to their homeland before James was born. India, specifically Northern India was where James Fleamont Potter was born and raised until the age of 5, his parents decided to move back here and he knew no one, well. No one besides their neighbor's son. His dad was friends with Peter's dad in Hogwarts, a few years below him though. Peter was his first friend, the first person he ever spoke to other than his parents after moving. He owes so much to him. He fell in love before he was able to even fully understand what love was.
He fell in love again with one of Peter's friends, Marlene McKinnon after she stood up to a pair of school bullies in their primary school. They made fun of James’s smelly lunch food; he didn’t think it was smelly and apparently neither did Marlene.
He fell in love with Lily the first day of first year, after he tripped getting off the train and she helped him up. James thought for a second it was an angel who was smiling down at him as he reached his arm up to take hers.
He fell in love with Remus a few days later, when he finally opened up and laughed at one of James dumb jokes, his heart flipped in his chest and for days after all he was trying to do was make Remus laugh like that again.
He fell in love with Mary in 3rd year, she was getting teased by a group of 5th year Slytherins and didn’t even blink before throwing a curse at them. James swore for weeks that it was the coolest thing he’s ever seen in his 13 years of living.
Falling for the Black brothers was different, that was easy, simple, like breathing.
Sirius was first, in first year, the first day. Same as Lily. They met on the train and from the first time James saw Sirius’s gray eyes he knew that would be his favorite color for the rest of his life. Becoming friends with Sirius was just as effortless, he quickly became James’s favorite person, and James quickly learned he would never be Sirius’s favorite. That title was always and will always belong to Regulus Arcturus Black. Sirius’s baby brother.
Oh Regulus..
Now that had thrown James for a curve ball..
Finally, James understood what all that love and all the emotions he felt was building towards.
All year first year he heard about the youngest black heir, and James was so excited in second year to meet him, more excited than he was for anything else but, Regulus walked right past them on the train, and Sirius didn’t even try to yell for him to come sit with the boys.
Regulus was easy to fall in love with, just like his brother. He was quiet and soft spoken. Like he picked his words out one at a time in his mind before saying them. He was the definition of ‘think before you speak’ because he did. Regulus spent more time thinking than speaking. And James wants to know everything, every thought, every emotion, every memory he wanted it all so he can help. He just wants to help the boy with the neat black hair, and gray hollow eyes.
James understood why he fell in love with everyone he loves, it led him to this moment.
Peter taught him that everyone deserves a chance, that James was worth loving even if he was different. That was the first and most important part of falling in love with someone, loving yourself first and Peter taught him how to do that.
He has the filter of Marlene, when she told those boys off at only 6 years old. Regulus might think before he spoke but hardly ever kind words just like Marlene.
He has the smile of Lily. When he smiles, and James means when Regulus really truly smiles, he can light up the whole damn castle and James’s heart and the sad part is the boy doesn’t even seem to realize it.
He has the laugh of Remus, his true laugh. Where his shoulders shake and he rolls his eyes, covering his mouth slightly.
He has the cursing skills, and quickness of Mary, never letting anyone get the best of him, always firing back.
He remembers the day he realized this like it was yesterday. It was 4th year, his 15th birthday and that was the first time any of them were brave enough to sneak in alcohol to one of their parties. Marlene was the one who brought the fire whiskey.
A drunk James looks around the common room, the party has died down some, they turned down the music so that now it was only faintly in the background. His friend group was the only one still in the common room, everyone else opted to go to bed, James was more wasted than all the others but still coherent enough.
He had stopped listening in on the conversation, they were circled around each other on the couches and loveseats playing a muggle game that Mary and Lily had taught them about, maybe “truth or dare” or “never have I ever” he doesn’t remember, right now all he’s worried about is the name on the map. Tracing his finger against it, at the name ‘Regulus Black’ in the Astronomy tower. It’s like 2am Reggie, why are you not in your dorm? The drunk boy thought to himself.
“James?”
“Prongs!” A hand waves in front of his face causing him to close the map and look up at Remus who’s raising an eyebrow at him in question. And James gets a feeling like he’s going to be sick when the words come out of his mouth.
“I’m not in love with you guys anymore,” he declares, loud enough for them all to hear but not too loud for anyone not in the room to hear.
Suddenly the world goes quiet..
He looks around the room and everyone’s looking at him, he looks to Peter first who looks confused, then to Mary whose eyebrows raised with a question, Marlene is next, she sits up straighter, looking at him with an all too serious expression. He looks up at Remus who just smiles softly and gently like he knew and was politely keeping it a secret for the sake of James’s sanity, then to Sirius, whose expression is hard to read.
“We didn’t know you ever were..” Sirius whispers, looking at James confused, and James can see the question in his gray eyes ‘Why didn’t you say anything before?’
“W-Well I’m not anymore so..” James mumbles looking down at his hands as he rests them on his knees, wanting to pick at his jeans.
“Okay,” Lily says softly, and reaches over to rest her hand on James’s so he’ll stop picking. “Thank you for telling us.”
And that was it. That was the whole conversation, everyone went back to their game and James just sat there watching. He fell asleep on the couch that night and in the morning, he had a cover on him. He still doesn’t know who threw it over him, maybe that’s a good thing so it doesn’t cause him to fall even more in love if he did know. James expected Sirius to talk to him about his feelings that day but he never did, no one brought it up ever again and James is forever grateful for that. He wouldn't know what to say if someone did try to talk to him about it.
August 12th, 1976
“No Sirius this is madness.” Lily screeched and Regulus had to agree with the redhead.
“Oh come off it Evans live a little.” His brother laughed as he gets back from Monty's office, a vile in his hands.
Monty and Effie are away on a trip for Monty’s work in Potions making. They’re gone for only 3 days but told the boys they could invite friends over, on the 2nd day of them being gone they all did. The whole group was together including Mary who wasn’t with them in Diagon Alley because she was spending time with her Muggle boyfriend Josh.
They were all sitting on the floor in a circle as Sirius went to get some Veritaserum from Monty’s potions office. Regulus wonders why the man doesn’t keep it locked knowing he has Sirius Black and James Potter in his house.
James is sitting next to Regulus, his legs crossed on the ground, his knees touching Regulus’s side gently. Regulus has Barty on his other side, who is next to Peter, who is next to Evan, who is next to Dorcas, who is next to Marlene, who is next to Lily, who is next Pandora, who is next to Mary, who is next to Remus, who is next to Sirius, who is next James. It’s a full circle.
Lily and Mary just got done explaining to them, well more to Regulus, Barty, and Evan. The Purebloods. A game that Muggles like to call ‘truth or dare.’ It sounded fun and simple enough. But Sirius decided to add his own element to the game. ‘Truth serum.’
“Ok so rules. You can’t pick dare two times in a role. Let’s make it interesting.” Marlene says a smirk on her face. “So, who’s going first?”
“I will.” Barty volunteers, a smile on his lips and Marlene turns to him, raising an eyebrow.
“Okay Crouch I’ll bite. Truth or dare?”
“Dare.”
“Kiss the prettiest person in the room.”
“Ease.” Barty replies and turns his head to kiss Peter lightly. Not forcing it on Peter if he doesn’t want it. Peter pulls back after a split second and blushes.
“Now Barty Barty Barty. I think your boyfriend would be jealous.” Sirius tries but Barty shrugs.
“She said the prettiest. I love Evan but he’s the hottest. There’s a fine difference.” Barty says back dryly, like it’s the most obvious thing in the world and Evan smirks.
“I would’ve done the same.” Replied Evan looking over at his boyfriend, and Regulus swears they are having a conversation with just their eyes.
“Ok Reggie. Truth or dare.” Oh great. All eyes are on him, and he swears he’s going to kill Bartumis Crouch. Okay okay thought Reggie. It’s Barty, he won’t make Regulus do or say anything he doesn't want to say, and he can use the dare for someone like Sirius cause god knows Sirius would try to get his nasty darkest secrets out of him.
“Truth.” Regulus answers and Barty smirks and Sirius passes his brother the Veritaserum.
“Bottoms up Black.” And Regulus drinks a tiny dab of it. It’s not strong and only supposed to last up to a minute with only one drop, which is exactly how much each person gets. One drop.
“What’s the best house?” Barty asks him and that’s a simple question to answer at least.
“Ravenclaw, I wanted to be a Ravenclaw,” Regulus answers immediately and it’s true. He wanted Ravenclaw, begged that stupid hat even to put him in that bloody house.
“I didn’t know that.” Sirius says looking over at his brother, and Regulus can only shrug.
“You never asked.”
The game goes on for a long while, here’s a few snippets:
James gets dared to do a strip tease for Evan.
Evan confesses that he actually really enjoys Muggle movies and cries every time a dog dies on screen.
Barty gets dared to lick Marlene’s toes.
Pandora confesses that she is thinks she’s a seer and has had bad night terrors about what could happen in their future (no one asked her to go into more details)
Remus is dared to take his shirt off by Sirius, are we surprised?
Mary confesses that she lost her virginity to her Muggle boyfriend last year.
Marlene confesses that before she ‘realized she was a raging lesbian’ her words, that she did think she had a crush on Sirius in 3rd year for like 4 months.
Peter got dared to let Evan give him a hickey, which he was nervous about, but Evan wouldn’t do it unless Pete looked him in the eyes and said that it was ok.
And Dorcas confessed that she thinks Marlene is a better Quidditch Beater than she is.
And now it was Regulus’s turn again.
“Regulus truth or dare?” Dorcas asks a small smile on her face and Merlin, he doesn’t like that look, not one bit.
“Dare.” Regulus blurts out.
Dorcas’s smirk only widened, and he knew that was a bad idea. “I dare you to.. Kiss James.”
And Regulus is going to murder her. He’s going to make it painful and make sure she pays for what she did.
But he doesn’t show any emotion as he gets up and goes over to James who suddenly looks very nervous as Regulus sits in front of him on his knees.
“Hi-“ James starts but Regulus growls a little already mad at his friend and grabs the back of James’s hair.
“Shut up Potter,” he mumbles rolling his eyes before kissing the boy with the ridiculous glasses.
This wasn’t either of the boys first kiss, James had his first kiss, first real kiss in 5th year, at Sirius’s 16th birthday party with a girl he was dating Hannah Kane. They had dated for only 3 months before breaking it off, deciding that staying friends was better because Hannah wasn’t over her ex, and James was in love with someone else. Regulus’s first kiss was in 3rd year, at the age of 13 with the one and only Bartumis Crouch Jr. There was a time where Barty would swear, he was in love with Regulus and Regulus, who was lonely and just wanted someone there, used his best friend. It put a strain on their friendship for months after that, but they came back and have been stronger than ever.
This kiss might have not been the boy’s first kiss, but it was the first that meant something.
Regulus, who has read romance books, who’s always rolled his eyes every time a character would say they felt sparks whenever they kissed finally understood what it meant. Regulus’s skin is on fire and there, there is the spark and Regulus thinks James felt it too because he gasped a little.
“Okay I don’t fancy seeing my brother kiss my best mate thanks Dorcas.” The voice, Sirius, cuts Regulus out of his trance as he pulls away from James. Regulus doesn’t say anything as he goes back over to where he was sitting.
James clears his throat and puts on a cocky smile. “Not bad baby Black.”
Regulus ignores him and looks around the circle. “Pete, truth or dare.” Regulus knows Peter already chose a dare, he can’t choose it again, and Peter seems to know that too as he sighs and takes the Veritaserum from Sirius.
Regulus Black has eyes, that’s why he asks the one question that he’s been dying to ask Peter since he’s met the shy kid. “Are you okay?” He stares in Peter's eyes, and everyone sees Peter's pupils dilate as the potion kicks in.
“I’m so insecure I think that I’ll die before I drink.”
“What does that mean?” James asks confused but Peter ignores him and goes on.
“And I’m so caught up in the news with who likes me and who’s playing me.”
“Wait, no Pete-“He cuts Barty off, unable to stop the words flowing from his mouth.
“I’m so tired that I might quit magic, run away, start a new life.”
No one says anything, just watches their quiet friend finally speak his truth.
“They'll all be so happy that I’m gone because who am I if not a Marauder.”
“Peter none of that is true- “But Peter didn’t spot there no he’s not done, he’s speaking his truth all of it as he turns to Sirius.
“You change your mind like a girl changes clothes.” He blurts and Remus laughs, fully belly laughs.
“He’s not wrong, Pads.” Says Sirius’s Welsh boyfriend but it was wrong to speak up because Peter turns to him next.
“You and Sirius were really loud in the dorm room last year and forgot the silent charm so many times, and I’m hoping on Merlin that this year it doesn’t happen again because I will murder you.”
And Regulus has never seen Remus turn as red as he is right now as his brother smirks. Peter turns to James.
“You shouldn’t hate yourself for falling in love so easily, but sometimes you have to realize that you can fall, and you better hope you’re not standing on a cliff. Sometimes I think you forget that you owe yourself the love you so freely and deeply give to others.”
James just looks down at his jeans, seeming more interested in his pants than anything else at the moment. Peter turns to Barty.
“You ca-“ Peter stops and blinks while looking around, Regulus figures that the minute is up because the confident, loud, bold Peter, who spoke his truth is gone and as he dies shy, quiet, blushing Peter comes back and looks around the room in shock.
“I..I’m sorry- I didn’t..” But that’s all he says as Peter gets up and walks out of the room, and out the back door, his hands in his pocket as he chews on his bottom lip.
Everyone looks around the room and Marlene and James, two of Peter's closest friends make a move to get up and follow but before they can Evan and Barty are already up running after the boy.
Peter ran out of the Potter manor in a hurry.
Home
He just wanted to get next door to his house, he wanted to go home.
He can’t believe he said all that. Why did he say all of that! Stupid serum, stupid Lily for suggesting the game, stupid Sirius for getting the potion. He’s so caught up in his head that he doesn’t even hear his name being called, or that there’s two boys following behind him.
He just wants to go home.
“Woah woah Pete, slow down.” Evan says as him and Barty chase after the boy and Evan grabs his arm to stop him dead in his tracks.
“I-I don’t want to talk,” Peter mutters pathetically and he hates himself for it.
“Okay, okay love we won’t make you talk about it just- Just don’t leave.. Please?” Barty begs and Peter sighs giving in, he can’t say no now, not when Barty said ‘please’ like that. Like Peter’s answer will make or break him.
Peter sighs and lays on the ground looking at the clouds and the other two follow lying next to him, and they don’t talk, they just watch the clouds as Barty and Evan each take one of Peter's hands in theirs and Peter thinks he could die happy in this moment.
No one went into Regulus’s room that night, it all happened so fast, and their friend group decided to stay the night, so Sirius is with Remus in his room. Regulus doesn’t mind, sometimes it’s good in his opinion, to wake up alone sometimes in the darkness of the night.
After Peter ran out everyone decided it was best to end the game, so Sirius and James thought it was a good idea to have a movie night. What Regulus didn’t know is that Monty has a collection of old Muggle movies, they all decided on a new shark movie that just came out ‘Jaws.’ Regulus didn’t find it remotely scary but from the looks of it James, Peter, Evan, and Lily did. He should’ve known Evan wouldn’t like it, he doesn’t like sharks to begin with. After the movie they all opted to watch another, and another, and by the 4th movie it was 2am so the girls decided to all go into one of the guest bedrooms together and Barty, Evan, and Peter went into the other guest bedroom across the hall from the girls.
It’s currently 4am and Regulus has only been asleep for a little over an hour before he woke up in tears. So, he sneaks downstairs to the kitchen, he could really go for water, or maybe a popsicle, he’s never had one of those until he joined the Potter family. He turns on the lights in the kitchen and jumps a little when he sees James in the corner smiling as he eats his own popsicle.
Oh
He’s shirtless, okay then.
Regulus quickly goes to the freezer trying not to look at Potter's naked, chiseled chest.
“Late night snack?” James grinned as he licks at the frozen treat.
“No, looking for my will to live actually? Have you seen it? I thought I left it here.” Regulus replies as he grabs a popsicle, cherry favored, and closes the door. James laughs at him, full on body laughs. Regulus tries to hide a smile as he sits at the counter and starts to eat his popsicle. That laugh is his favorite sound in the world.
“No sorry I wasn't unable to find it, but you can have mine if you want.” The boy with the glasses smiles and Regulus smirks.
“How kind of you to offer James.” He replies and James just looks at him, he’s staring actually, and Regulus gets confused.
“Do I have something on my face?”
“No, just looking.”
Regulus looks down and kicks his leg a little, James Potter always a flirt.
“Stop looking.”
“Why? I enjoy looking at beautiful people.”
Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
Regulus isn’t an idiot, he knows he’s attractive, he’s been told so many times. But he’s been called ‘pretty’ and ‘hot’ and even ‘sexy’ once before but never beautiful. He has never been beautiful to anyone before.
This boy is trying to kill Regulus, he knows exactly what he’s doing.
“Beautiful is a little much don’t you think Potter?” Regulus asks, raising an eyebrow trying to not show the effect that one word had on him and James simply shakes his head.
“No, no I don’t think that word brings you justice actually. I think you’re pulchritudinous.” And Regulus Black thinks he’s died and gone straight to heaven, not only has the James Potter called him beautiful, but he also called him pulchritudinous, a Latin word meaning beautiful, making the meaning just more somehow.
“I didn’t know you knew Latin..” The younger boy can only muster quietly as he stares at James who shrugs, looking like it’s not a big deal. Like he didn’t just make Regulus’s year with one simple word.
“Most of our spells are in Latin, thought I might know a few more words or so.”
Okay, Okay. Regulus has to wrap his mind around this, so not only is James Fleamont Potter kind, respectful, popular, athletic, funny, charming, charismatic, loyal, brave, trustworthy, passionate, motivated, mischievous, patient, caring, loving, witty, and hot. But he’s also smart. Regulus is falling headfirst for the boy, and he didn’t think he could fall anymore but here he is, driving headfirst off a cliff that’ll never happen. He can only hope he has a parachute.
“Don’t you own a shirt?” Regulus blurts out as he looks over James’s chest trying with everything in him to change the subject now!
James looks confused at the sudden conversation change and looks at his bare chest. “Yes?” He says slowly like it’s a trick question. “Obviously I own shirts Regulus, I just don’t particularly like wearing them to bed, too restraining.”
Regulus hums looking away as James jumps up on the counter looking down at the younger boy and Regulus looks up at him a little startled. Why is he so close?
“Let’s be friends.” James says confidently and Regulus blinks.
“Friends?”
“Yes Reggie friends. You know, they hang out, and joke around together and-“
“I know what friends are, you insufferable idiot!” Regulus snaps rolling his eyes.
“Well why did you act like you didn’t know?”
“James obviously I knew, I have friends.”
“You have minions.”
“What!” Regulus exclaimed kind of loudly, louder than he meant to but, what is this boy talking about? Regulus doesn’t have minions, he has friends. Regulus only groans, it’s too early for this. “Why do you want to be friends?”
“Simple, I like you.”
Don’t think too much into that sentence Regulus, he means as a person, not romantically. The boy has to remind himself as he rolls his eyes again.
“You know you keep rolling those they’re going to get suck like that.” James says with a shit eating grin as he crosses his arms.
“Great if they do maybe I wouldn’t have to see your face anymore.”
James lets out an overly dramatic gasp as he puts his hand over his chest. “My face is beautiful, and you know it.”
It really is.
“If you say so James.” Regulus says unapologetically as he gets up and throws away the trash from his popsicle with James following to do the same right behind him. So close to him actually that when Regulus turns around away from the trash his and James's chest bump together and Regulus’s breath catches in his throat as he looks up at James and James looks down at him smirking.
“So, what do you say?” The taller one whispers quietly looking down at Regulus with those gorgeous brown puppy dog eyes that could make Reg fall to his knees.
Regulus is convinced that James Potter has power over him and his mind, everything he holds dear in his life is inside those eyes.
“About?” Regulus whispers back, unable to help himself.
“Friends?”
“Friends?” Regulus repeats slowly, a part of his mind thinks it’s a trick. That he should run and hide and never come out.
“Come on Reg, our lips have touched already, I think we can be simple friends, no?”
And as Regulus stares into those perfect eyes that sparkle like the stars, more precious than diamonds themselves he nods a little. “Okay Potter, friends.”
“Friends Reggie,” he smiles, and Regulus is blinded by it but doesn’t say anything, doesn’t even move because his body will not physically let him. James put him in a trance, and he is now happily under the boy's spell.
James reaches over and throws his own trash away before backing away from Regulus and it takes everything, every piece of self-respect that the Black spare has to not pull James back just to feel the warmth his body was giving Regulus for only another second.
“Goodnight.” James smiles and walks out of the kitchen and Regulus watches him leave before leaning against the counter, grabbing it with both hands to keep him up right so hard that his knuckles turn white as he lets out a small faded whimper and his pajama bottoms are tight with a problem.
August 18th, 1976
Okay being ‘friends’ or ‘official friends’ with the one and only James Potter is unlike anything Regulus has ever done. Regulus learned a lot about James in their short 6 days of friendship.
He knows James is afraid of the dark, still to this day at the ripe age of 16. He knows that from ages 1-13 he had to sleep with a stuffed dinosaur he named ‘Rex’ and he still actually has Rex and that thing goes everywhere with him even though now he doesn’t have to sleep with it. He knows James’s favorite lesson is Charms, but he has the highest marks in Transfiguration. He knows James’s favorite color is gray, Regulus had always assumed it was red for obvious reasons.
Every day of this friendship Regulus is learning more about James over the past few days then he’s learned over the past month living with the guy. Maybe that’s because until they recently said they were friends James probably thought Regulus was still as Black as the rest of them and couldn’t be trusted.
But over the last few days James has figured some stuff out of his own.
Regulus hates being called a baby because that’s what he was called by his cousins his whole life with him being the youngest. He also learned that Regulus has a nasty habit of biting his nails when he gets nervous or bored. He's learned that the youngest Black gets bored very often because he’s so bloody smart and regular stuff like lessons or just regular people in general bore him easily. He wants to be challenged for his intellect. He has learned that Regulus has always had an interest in Quidditch, which he always knew about thanks you Sirius, but he also learned that when Regulus was only a mere six years old he flew his first ‘big boy broom’ and fell off, leaving him with a scar on his elbow.
James wants to kiss that scar..
Actually, James wants to kiss every scar, every single one left on the young boy's body.
James also learned that Regulus was funny. Don’t get him wrong he already knew Reg was funny, but he was funny funny, in a mean and sarcastic manner that made James want to scream. It was unlike anything James has ever seen before and sometimes, with the boys' dry tone and dark humor Regulus reminds James of Remus, and he thinks that if Remus and Regulus spend more time together then they will surely become the best of mates.
“And that is why we will never donate blood again; we try to do good and give to the less fortunate and they just bombard us with questions.” Regulus sneers rolling his eyes as he finishes telling him and his brother about how him and his friend group tried to donate blood to a blood bank.
“Okay but Reggie.. Why was it in a bucket?..” Sirius asks his brother slowly, trying to figure out what on earth, and James wants to know the same thing.
“Where did you get it?” It was James’s turn to ask, and Regulus rolled his eyes again.
“That isn’t important, what’s important is we tried to give blood-“
“That was in a bucket!” Sirius screams cutting him off, but Regulus continues like Sirius isn’t there.
“And they kept asking questions and didn’t want it.”
“I wouldn’t want it either if a group of 13-year-olds brought it in and it was in a bucket Reg.” James says a little concerned.
“We weren’t all 13. Dorcas was 14.” He fights his argument shrugging like that makes all the difference in the world.
“Regulus, you are going to give me gray hairs before I am 20!” Shouts Sirius as he sighs and lays his hands in his face rubbing his temples.
“You’re getting gray hairs already, you'll be fine.”
“I am not!”
“You are.” The youngest replies dryly. “I can see them from here.”
“Regulus, leave Sirius alone.” James laughs, throwing his pillow at the boy accidentally hitting him in the face causing Sirius to burst out laughing hysterically and Regulus to glare at James.
“Oh, Merlin Reg I am so sor-“ James tries but a pillow comes full force at his face. “Hey!” He yells in disbelief and Regulus giggles. He actually giggles. Oh, James is in love.
“Prongs you totally deserved that-“ Sirius also gets cut off by a pillow coming at him by Regulus. “Oy! What did I do?!”
Regulus shrugs, looking bored. “Your voice is annoying.”
“You little brat!” Sirius gasped dramatically and grabbed another pillow hitting Regulus with it and that’s it, the boys are officially in the middle of a 3-way large pillow fight. Sirius acts dramatic every time a pillow comes in contact with his hair, James laughing hysterically the whole time and Regulus having a glare on his face, but anyone can see the small hint of a smile on his pink chapped lips.
