Regulus Arrives At The Lost Pearl
Regulus Black was only 10 when Sirius escaped from a boat. Horrible night to say the least. Nothing was good since then. He had lost his only companion, meaning to life and hope.
Sirius Black was different from his family. He doesn't quite necessarily fit in. Maybe that’s why he escaped ; not to mention he was the most abused out of the Blacks. When their parents tells him to do something he just doesn’t comply. Regulus secretly admired that. Maybe that’s why he was sorted into the Gryffindor badge then in Slytherin.
Every kid that finishes school has to go to the sorting ceremony hosted by Albus Dumbledore. There you get a badge on which house your in. And that basically determines all your future pirate career. Because you only get help from the house you get sorted in. That says a lot.
Ravenclaws help each other to success with their wit, Hufflepuffs help other houses and also is all of the hosts of peace treaties although if you dare mess with them they will slit your throat without a second thought, Gryffindors fight all day long until the decide wether or not to be productive and Slytherins are the worst, cut throat and cunning and every other house that gets in their way of success dies.
That’s kinda how the death eaters work. The clan that every Slytherin joins. Most of the Gryffindors settle for the lost pearl but some of them join the last crow (Ravenclaw) or the solar killers (Hufflepuff) because the lost pearl is so hard to get into.
Other than having too much people you need to write your background and also why exactly you want to get in. For most people anyway. If you are in danger of any kind they will kindly save you anyway. That’s what Sirius did.
Regulus was planning to do it to. He has enough of this killing people shit and finally one night he had escaped. In the exact date that Sirius did he was off. The lost pearls ship was on the coast because the were taking shelter for the night. Regulus met one guy in a club the other night. He was tall, with jaw dropping muscles and curly hair. That’s all Regulus remembered anyway, that he was hot as a pie. Remus Lupin was his name.
Some rumors say that he was also a Slytherin and a traitor. So that gives Regulus some hope. In the end Sirius was a Gryffindor.
The sea was beautiful tonight not like when Regulus escaped. It was dark and rainy, and big thunders crashed down from the sky when Sirius escaped.
Not Regulus though. Pale moonlight reflected the sea and it ignited the glistening water. The moon was nice and round. Waves of different shades of blue danced while Regulus sailed away in his little boat. He would really love to paint this scene. If he wasn’t a pirate, Regulus wanted to be a painter, the smell of fresh oil paint on canvas and the escapism of the colors and the relaxing and thinking of your idea of the painting whilst you paint is all that Regulus could ask for.
Is just that after his mum slashed one of his painting with a sword and threw it in the sea he couldn’t quite paint anymore. Every time he wanted the paint his memory would re emerge from his mind.
Little by little was almost near the coast. Then suddenly he seas a tall man with glasses waiting there. As if he was meant to be there. The man looked confused, Regulus thought he might have recognized him because he was waving his hand to get somebody to look. Then out of plain sight Regulus saw his brother.
He had gained weight and his skin was now free of bloody scars and bruises. Sirius waved to his little brother recognizing him Immediately. Regulus waved back and gave him the thumbs up. If he was honest he was quite scared of meeting him. Almost 6 years had gone by. Quite fast. And now seeing him again felt like a dream. He pinched himself just in case.
Because he had dreams where he was with him again and got so scared of waking up.
He settled his boat on the coast and got out. He heard the tall man talk. He assumed it was James Potter because of his ego. And maybe perhaps is how exactly Sirius described him when he wrote letter for him. Maybe he was a little hotter in person-
Nope not today. Not another crush.
"Hello mate, nice to see you here. I welcome you to the lost pearl. You must be Reggie? Love the hair" James said casually. Patting an arm to Regulus and placing a soft kiss on Regulus’s delicate pale hands.
"James you can flirt with anyone I swear just not with my brother." Sirius accused in his usual annoying tone, a disgusted face and furry eyebrows emerged from his usual light expressions. He adjusted his posture before hugging Regulus tight.
"Mkay, let go Sirius I don’t like hugs you know that." Regulus blurted out. He did like them, only that Sirius hugs made him emotional half of the time. He didn’t know what to do with himself, other than absorb his brothers love.
"Sorry, I just missed you very much. Your the only family I have that I truly consider mine,"
Regulus holds his urge to cry and pats his brother lightly. A shoulder rub can’t go wrong.
"And I’m so sorry I left you alone, I just- didn’t want you to get in danger with me"
"I know. It’s fine now, I’m here look!"
Those words calmed Sirius down a lot.
"So Pads, why didn’t you tell me that Regulus is such a sweetheart. I though you only said horrible things about him honestly" James said, trying to crack the "I’m about to cry into shambles" atmosphere. He was looking between the Black brothers as if looking for a smile or reaction.
"Ugh, shut up. You has to ruin the moment? you don’t even have siblings"
"Sirius?" Regulus blurted out politely, mischievous eyes letting Sirius know that he was gonna say something merciless.
"Yes?"
"Is this the prat you told me that was the intelligent, big hearted, kind and mature James Potter?"
"Sadly yes"
"Hey!" James shouted in his defense.
But before he could continue the Black brothers walked away arm in arm laughing at James.
They drank lots and lots of butter beer before the brothers crashed down on the floor cuddling in their sleep. Regulus slept the best he had in 6 years. No nightmares nothing.
James still had some paperwork to do since he is the lost pearls prince. Looking over the Blacks he stared at Regulus. Stirred in his sleep, long curls cupping his perfectly shaped face. Rosie lips parted from snoring and pale long hands rested on his stomach. James felt something in his stomach kick at that moment and he was not quite sure why.
Compared to Sirius, Regulus was much more put together and fine. He couldn’t read him but at the same time he could. Those cloudy grey eyes shined as he thinks of some sassy words to tease James with. He quite liked that.
He liked the idea of that, his teasing Regulus and him thinking prettily just like that. And not having to do nothing more than that.
James thoughts were crushed by a thunderstorm. Tomorrow him, the Black brothers are going to meet the rest of the crew. Sailing towards them this second. He hopes Regulus likes his new home.
And stay, but not just for Sirius. For him and his crew.
