Summary
Regulus Black watches Sirius Black leave but still chooses to stay, how else is he meant to protect Sirius?But with Voldemorts power only increasing, and the growing pressure of knowing he will have to take the mark Regulus is starting to struggle. Once back at Hogwarts he starts to let go of himself, partying, drinking, making contact with his estranged brother who he is forbidden to talk too. So why not start dating his brothers best friend? James Potter. It’s not a real relationship anyways he’s only doing it to antagonise his parents further. Or is he? Maybe James Potter is the only person who can save Regulus from himself before it becomes too late…Inspired by a tiktok @ sirius_black_vairiant !! :)
