Chapter 1
James POV:
I think it's important to note how for the past few months I took every possible chance to speak with Regulus Black. I do not know why I did so, I just did. I don't think that's nearly as important as my loss of feelings towards Evans. I swore years ago that I was destined to be with my dear Lily Flower.
So, when I was in us Marauders dorm room and I heard the news about how Regulus Arcturus Black, the pureblood supremacists dream kid, was disowned for his sexuality. I was... shocked, to say the very least. I mean, he was all they ever wanted him to be, how could they just throw him out because he happened to be a man with a very specific interest in dick? I guess it doesn't matter that much considering how he is way better off without them and their abusive tendencies. But all of his other friends have exactly the same type of shitty parents, so I don't think he has anywhere to go or stay once the school year is over. I knew one thing to be true, I could not let my best friend's younger brother (who also happens to be one of my best friends) get stuck on the streets with nobody to turn to and nowhere to go. I needed to talk to him to see if he'd stay at my house.
------------------ skip an hour------------------
The only thing I have left to do is send the letter. That's all I have left. So why am I so nervous? I'm just sending an invitation to one of my closest friends to live at my house. I know I don't have a choice in sending it though. It doesn't matter what I feel about it because the cold hard truth is that if I don't send this fucking letter, he's going to end up cold and hungry. Of even worse, HOT and hungry. My point is, I can't not send it to him because he'll be negatively impacted without seeing it. He needs to come with me. He needs to. Padfoot thinks it's pointless to try because he thinks of his brother as a stubborn asshole who doesn't like it when people care about him. I know he needs me to do this though. I know he does, even if he won't admit it. Lucky for him though I'm such an amazing friend and I can just tell.
Regulus POV:
"I'm telling you Evan; I am going to be perfectly fine. Nothing-" Some tapping on our door is interrupting me... Call me crazy but after the month I've had, I don't feel too good about that tapping noise. Nothing good comes from owls these days; not when it's for me anyway. So, I was very.... worried to say the least.
"Who's going to get that??" Barty was the only one brave enough to address the elephant in the room. That and he is just very blunt and straight to the point in most scenarios.
"It is most certainly not going to be Reginald. Anyone else but him."
"I'm not a child Dorcas. I can answer any mother fucking door I want to open." I get it's dangerous or whatever, but this is going way to fucking far. I'm not 7 years old. I'm 16 and I don't need to be babysat by anyone, ever.
"No but you are a gay kid from a homophobic family who hates everyone but themselves and strove you into cutting yourself and attempting suicide." Pandora somehow always hits the target when it comes to making me laugh over the most unfunny topics.
I couldn't help it, I had to laugh because it was so purely unfunny that it made me want to die of laughter in a self-hatred way.
"..............You're fucking tell me I spent 2 consecutive hours trying to get him to stop spiraling, making sure I never let him out of my sight in case he did something harmful to himself, and trying to get him to laugh then Pandora simply informs him about his fucking trauma and all the sudden he thinks living is the funniest thing and best thing to ever happen to him. And all the sudden he's not all 'I can't laugh or be fucking silly anymore; I have to keep myself alive and find a job and a place to live and make sure I don't die of starvation' I feel like I got cheated out of having a good time with Regulus again after summer break."
I took Evan's rant as a chance to sneak off and open the door.
"It's a letter for me???? It says it's from James! I wonder what was so important it couldn't wait until the next time we hung out..."
"REGULUS WHY WOULD YOU JUST GO TO THE DOOR???? I THOUGHT I EXPLAINED THE DANGERS TO YOU??? YOU DO REALIZE WR'E SLYTHERINS AND EVEN IF MOST OTHER PEOPLE ARE COOL WITH IT DOES NOT MEAN THE PEOPLE IN OUR HOUSE ARE-"
"DORCAS!!! It's fine, he's fine. Let's just open it up and see what it says." They all turn to me after Pandora says that nobody even tries to argue, we know it's useless arguing with Pandora, she always turns out to be right.
"Ok.... I guess we can open it up." I'm not that scared but I can't say him not even waiting or asking me to meet up sooner so we can talk about it. James has always preferred talking face to face....
Here goes nothing......
