Chapter 2
James Potter had always been known as the Gryffindor heartthrob. With his messy hair and charming smile, he had no shortage of admirers. Everyone had always thought there was one certain person that caught his eye: Lily Evans, With her bubbly personality and her charming brightness. Everyone in Hogwarts had thought he had been deeply in love with her since first year, But there was a different person who had in fact caught his eye.
That person was Regulus black.
Regulus black: the younger brother of Sirius black, James’ best friend, but he was unlike Sirius in so many ways possible . He was quiet and reserved, with a sharp wit and a sly smile that James couldn't resist.
It was during their sixth year at Hogwarts that James realised he was falling for Regulus. He couldn't stop thinking about him, and every time he saw him in the corridors or in the Great Hall, his heart skipped a beat.
One day, James decided to confess his feelings to Regulus. He found him in the library, pouring over a book on ancient magical artefacts.
"Hey, Regulus," James said, taking a seat across from him at the table. "There's something I need to tell you."
Regulus looked up, surprised. "What is it?"
"I think...I think I might be in love with you," James said, his heart pounding in his chest.
Regulus's eyes widened, and he looked away. "James, I don't know what to say..."
"It's okay," James said quickly. "I just wanted you to know how I feel. You don't have to say anything."
Regulus nodded, still looking uneasy. "Thank you for telling me, James."
A few days later, Regulus found James alone in the courtyard. He took a deep breath and walked over to him.
"James, I need to tell you something," Regulus said, his voice low.
"What is it?" James asked, looking up at him.
"I think...I think I might have feelings for you too," Regulus admitted, his cheeks turning pink.
James's heart leaped in his chest. "Really?"
Regulus nodded. "But I don't know what to do about it. I don't know if it's okay for us to...to be together."
James took Regulus's hand, his eyes shining with hope. "I don't care what anyone else thinks. I want to be with you."
Regulus looked down at their joined hands, a small smile playing on his lips. "Me too."
