Summary
Regulus hates a lot of people, but he doesn’t hate anyone the way he hates James Potter. He hates him with every fiber of his fucking being. Regulus has always thought he would hate Sirius or his parents more than anyone else for the rest of his life. He’s been proven wrong as of late, as Sirius is slowly growing on him (a revelation Regulus refuses to ever share with him) and despite Regulus’ best efforts, he’s been forced to spend more time in orbit of Sirius and his friends. And that unfortunately includes James fucking Potter. James Potter is a self-centered, arrogant, brother-stealing prick. And, of course, not only has Regulus been paired with him for a transfiguration project, but Potter has the nerve to be better at transfiguration than Regulus.

Um hi!! it has been like a year since i first started posting this fic. if you're just finding it now- splendid you have nothing to worry about, keep reading. if you are coming back after a year- HI sorry for being gone so long!! I have made some changes- likethe individual chapter names because i thought they were gross and cheesy and what can I say. its been a year, i've grown. I just graduated form high school this may and after trying and failing to log in and keep the story updated, I finally got back in to my account, praise the lord, so I will finally be posting more. I have grown and matured and written a lot over the past year, so keep in mind that my writing has changed (for the better I hope) any ways- enjoy!
