Magical
- So… – my mother said when she got home. – I met the Lestranges today. They’re looking for a husband for their daughter. She’s the same age as you.
- Please tell me you don’t want us to get married. – I said.
- Regulus, you need to marry someone. The Lestranges are our friends. She would be perfect for you. – she said.
- Are you doing this so I’ll don’t hook up with someone poor like my brother did? – I asked.
- Regulus, you’re gonna be a king, you need a queen on your side. – she said.
- Yesterday you didn’t give a fuck about my birthday and now you want me to get married? – I asked. – All you care about is money and power. No wonder Sirius left.
- This is no way to talk to your mother! – she said.
- I’m sorry, mother! – I said. What if just this one time I’d stand up for myself? What if I don’t shut up? What if I fight back? Just once. Only this one time. But I can’t.
- They’re coming over for dinner so change clothes! – she said.
I went to my room. I wish Barty was here. I don’t know what to wear. I’m not good at this. I looked at my wardrobe for about ten minutes then took out a suit. I started to get undressed when somebody walked in.
- Oh shit! I didn’t mean to- I- I -James said when he saw me half-naked.
- Give me a minute. – I said.
- Yeah, okay. – he looked at me once more before walking out. How good, now the boy I like saw me without shirt. Shit, he probably saw my scars. Fuck.
- You can come in. – I said after I dressed up. He walked back in.
- You look good, – he said. – but I liked the black one better.
- I didn’t ask for your opinion, Potter. – I said.
- Can I ask you something? – he asked.
- Depends on the question. – I answered.
- How did you get those scars? – he asked. – I- I shouldn’t have asked that. I’m sorry!
- No, it’s okay. I… - I never talked about this, but I know I can tell him. I know I can trust him. – My parents used to abuse me and sirius if we broke their rules. And… I kinda cut myself a few times. – I said quietly. He came closer and hugged me. It took a second for me to hug him back. He gives the best hug. I felt safe. For the first time I felt safe, in his arms. I wanted to stay like that forever. – I have to marry someone. – I said breaking the silence. – I felt like I should tell you.
- Do you wanna marry her? – he asked.
- No, I haven’t even met her. And… I’m not into girls. – I said.
- Oh – he said.
- I’ll meet her tonight. – I said. – I would rather run away.
- Then do it! Run away with me! – he offered.
- I can’t. – I said. – How do I look?
- You look perfect, Regulus. You always look perfect. – he said.
I kissed him. I couldn’t hold back anymore. It felt good. It felt so good, too good. He immediately kissed back. He put his hands to my hair and I put mine on his face. The kiss quickly went from emotional to heavy. I pushed him to the wall. I started kissing his neck. He moaned loudly.
- Quiet, love! – I said. – Fuck.
- Is there something wrong? – he asked.
- They’re gonna be here in ten minutes. – I said.
- Then I think I should leave. – he said.
- Wait here, in my room. I can bring food too, if you want. Just… don’t go, please! – I said.
- Whatever you want, love. – he said.
- I try to be quick. – I said. I gave him a last kiss then left him there.
When I went down the Lestranges were already there. A blonde girl, she must be Pandora, and her parents.
- Good evening! I’m sorry for being late. – I said.
- I’m Pandora! – she introduced herself.
- It’s nice to meet you, Pandora. I’m Regulus. – I introduced myself.
- Well-behaved and good-looking. – Mrs. Lestrange said.
We sat down and started eating. After the second meal I was so bored I couldn’t handle it anymire.
- Excuse me, I’m not feeling too well. It was nice to meet you! – I said and kissed Pandora’s hand. I ran up to my room.
- You’re back. – he said.
- Shut up! – I said and kissed him. He’s an amazing kisser. I wanna kiss him all day, all night. I never wanna let him go. He pushed me against the wall and started kissing my neck. I tried to be quiet, I really tried, but he was amazing.
- These sounds you make, it really turns me on. – he said and continued kissing my neck.
- Fuck me! – I moaned. I’m not proud for saying this, but I can’t control myself anymore.
- I will, don’t worry! – he smirked.
Oh my god, he is so perfect. He slowly started to unbutton my shirt. He’s messing with me. He makes me go crazy and he knows it. When he took off my shirt he stopped for a moment. He gently kissed my scars. He looked up at me then took off my pants. He stopped again.
- Do it! – I said. That’s what he was waiting for, my permission. He immediately took off my underwear.
- Fucking hell, James. – I moaned loudly. I can’t help myself. He’s too good.
- Regulus, can I come in? – someone knocked on my door.
- Yeah, just a minute. – I said and started dressing up.
- This has to be a secret. – I whispered to James. He noded and opened the window.
- Goodbye, Regulus! – he said.
- Goodbye, James! – I said and kissed him one last time. I watched him climb down and dissapear in the dark.
- Come in! – I said. Pandora stepped in.
- Are you okay? – she asked.
- Yeah, I’m… better now. – I said.
- Look, I know you don’t wanna marry me. – she said.
- You know why? – I asked.
- No. – she answered.
- That’s good. – I said.
- Regulus, I don’t wanna marry you either, but our parents already decided. – she said.
- Wait! I put so much effort into my looks for nothing? – I asked.
- Welcome to the real world! Who did you sneak out before you let me in? – she asked.
- We’re not friends, Lestrange. Just because our parents set up something neither of us wants doesn’t mean we’re friends. – I said.
- You’re cold, Black. – she said.
- No shit, Sherlock. – I said.
- I like you. – she said.
- You're not the only one. – I said.
- You should smile more!
- I don’t need advice from a stranger.
- I’ll help you get what you want. – she offered.
- I don’t need your help. – I said.
- Not even with your girl? – she asked.
- What girl? – I asked.
- The one you sneaked in. – she said. I just laughed. – What?
- Sorry, sorry, but I think you got something wrong. I like boys. – I said.
- Oh, now this makes sence. – she said.
- Congratulations, you’re one of the few people I came out to.
- Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me. – she said.
- Why would I trust you? – I asked.
- You keep my secret, I keep yours. – she answered.
- What secret?
- I’m a lesbian. – she said quietly.
- Well, this saved us a lot of time. – I said.
We talked a lot. About everything, I told her about James and she told me about her girlfriend. We actually have a lot in common. I feel realy weak now, I opened up to two people in less then a week. This is my new record. After she left I layed down on my bed. I was thinking, I wish James was here. I wish I could taste his lips. I wish I could hug him. I wish I could hear his voice. I don’t know when I slept in, but when I woke up James was there. Am I still dreaming? I woke up tot he man I love kissing me. That can’t be real. It’s like my dream continued after waking up.
- Good morning, babe! – he said between two kisses.
- Am I still dreaming? – I asked.
- I don’t think. – he layed down next to me. I turned to him.
- I dreamed of you. – I said.
- Tell me. – he said.
- We were about to get married. We had a son, Harry. He was with Sirius and Remus through the wedding. It was beautiful. – I told him.
- And did you dream about the wedding night too? – he asked.
- You’re a pervert, James Potter. – I said.
- But I’m your pervert. – he said.
- I love you. – I said it for the first time.
- I love you too. – he said and kissed my lips.
- Why are you here? – I asked.
- I wanna take you out on a date. – he said.
- Where? – I asked.
- Surprise. – he answered.
- I hate surprises. – I said.
- You’ll like this one, I promise.
- Fine, but let me get dressed first. – I went to my wardrobe and chose what to wear. – Can you turn around?
- I already saw everything, love. You don’t need to hide from me, but if that’s what you want then okay. – he turned around.
I usually don’t wear clothes like this. This is one of Sirius’. I wouldn’t wear this, but I think James will like it. After I got dressed I looked in the mirror. I look like a slut. But I understand now why Sirius always wears crop tops. They look hella good.
- You can turn around now. – I said. When he saw me he froze.
- Regulus, I don’t think it’s a good idea wearing this. I feel the need to take it off you right now. – he said.
- Then do it! – the moment I said it he started kissing me heavyly. We kissed until we both ran out of air.
- We should go now. – he said.
He took my hand and leaded me. He tried to go in smaller streets, it wouldn’t be good if somebody caught us.
- They really bet on us? – he asked.
- Yeah. I heard them say it on the party. – I said.
- I knew something was up when Evan dared me to kiss you. – he said.
- Well, he actually didn’t dare you to kiss me, he dared you to kiss the most attractive person in the room. – I said.
- And anyone who can’t see that you’re the most attractive person must be blind. – he said. I smiled, I truely smiled. – You’re a star, Regulus. You shine.
- I don’t. – I said.
- Yes, you do. Every time you smile my life gets brighter, better. – he said.
- You haven’t thought this through. – I said.
- Why? – he asked.
- Because now I will never let you go. – I said.
- And I will never let you let me go. – he said.
- And I will never let you let me let you go.
- And I will never let you let me let you let… Oh fuck it, I lost count. – we laughed. We both laughed. I laughed with him. Ever since he came to give me that letter everythink feels better. I can’t thank him enough.
- Close your eyes! – he said. – Trust me!
I did what he asked me to. I closed my eyes and let him lead me. I let him do anything with me. After another few minutes we stopped.
- You can open your eyes now. – he said. We were on a field next to a lake. It was beautiful, the flowers, the birds, the butterflies.
- James, this is beautiful. – I said.
- I know. Every time I come to France I visit this place. Just lay down in the sun. It’s really nice, listening tot he birds and watching the small animals. – he said. – It feels like a dream. I wanted to show you this.
- My whole life feels like a dream with you. – I said.
We layed down next to each other. The sky was clear, not a single cloud. We talked about everything. I told him about books, paintings, poetry, these are the things I like the most, no one ever cared about them, but James listened to me carefully, every word I said. He told me about England, his friends at home, his family, pranks, his favorite movies and songs. He brought food so when we got hungry we ate lunch. Time went by too fast.
- Look, a bunny! – he pointed at it. It was hiding in the grass, probably searching for food.
We’ve been here for hours, but it felt like a minute. This place was really magical, but it wouldn’t have been without him. He made this a thousand times more magical. I can’t believe this is real. I can’t believe something this good happens to me.
- I don’t deserve you, James. – I said on our way home.
- Bullshit, you deserve the best. You deserve even better than me. – he said.
- There’s no one better than you. – I said. – Thank you for the date. It was really good.
- Then next time I have to do an even better one. – he said.
- Next time… - I repeated.
- Yeah, next time and the one after and after and after ’till you get bored of me. – he said.
- Then you have to do this your whole life, ’cause I’m never gonna get bored of you. – I said.
- I love you more than anything. – he said.
- I love you more. – I said.
- No, I love you more.
- No, I love you more.
- No, I love you more.
- Fine, but I still love you more. – he said. We walked back in silence, comfortable silence. – Goodbye, Regulus.
- Goodbye, James. – I kissed him then climbed back to my room.
- Look who it is, the lost sheep, the prodigal son… - Barty said.
- Where were you? – Evan asked.
