"On one side is gryffindor. James potter as captain and chaser. Other chasers are Marlene McKinnon and Geoffrey fawley. Aurthur Browne and John bell as beaters, keeper Sirius black and finally seeker is Phoebe Dawson. On the other side is slytherin. Lucinder talkalot as captain and beater, the other beater is Greg panch, chasers are Barty crouch junior, Emma vanity and Steve rakiop, keeper is evan rosier and seeker is regulus black. Wow both black brothers are playing head to head"
"Remus!"
"Sorry miss. And the game is about to start. How does this games start?"
"Did you not read the book I gave you?"
"No"
"Oh god. Just tell them all to get in position"
"Ok, everyone in position"
Everyone moved into their places and closed their eyes while they set off the golden snitch.
"Remus tell them to go"
"Oh sorry. And go!"
Lots of cheering came from the crowd. Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were cheering for Gryffindor and Slytherin and Ravenclaw were cheering for Slytherin.
"I have no clue what's going on. Oh godric get your head in the game james"
When he heard his name James came out of the trance he was in. He was zoned out.
"Come on prongs, bloody move"
"REMUS!"
"Sorry Minnie, there we go james do your job now, whatever that is"
"Remus he is a chaser, he needs to get the quaffle through the hoops"
"Ohhhhh, come on James, Marlene and Geoffrey are doing there job"
Marlene scored and half the crowd screamed in joy
"BUGGERING CHRIST WELL DONE MARLS"
"Calm down remus"
"Sorry minnie"
"Stop calling me that"
"No can do"
The crowd was laughing at his hilarious commentary and banter with McGonagall.
"It looks like regulus has seen the golden snitch. Come on Phoebe chase him"
She set off after the younger black. James couldn't Help but stare. Regulus looked great chasing after the snitch.
"James get your head in the game."
A beater hit a bludger at Geoffrey knocking him out leaving only Marlene and James. Gryffindor we're currently winning but slytherin wasn't far behind.
"Oh no, Geoffrey. What a shame he's really nice. bloody hell greg panch. What even is that na-"
"Remus you won't do it again"
"how unfortunate" McGonagall just rolled her eyes while snickering on the inside.
as the game went on james took turns between staring at regulus and doing his jobs, you see normally he would be fine even against reg but he used some form of flirting distraction technique which forced james mind to be on regulus rather than the match. remus also wasnt doing too well on his job as commentator, he kept staring at sirius. sirius was wearing his keeper uniform and had his hair tied up which remus really, really loved.
"Remus slytherin just scored. Stop staring at your boyfriend" everyone knew who they were together, including the teachers. sirius definitely showed him off enough.
"Oh come on pads do a better job. I love you by the way. And I can't help that he looks like that" remus didnt realise he left the speaker on for that till too late, "oops, ignore that"
"Focus on the game lupin"
Remus gasped "did you just call me lupin? I thought we were closer than that"
The crowd burst into laughing making Remus and Minerva smile.
"Just focus"
"Fine then. What's the score? 80-50 to slytherin. Fucking Christ come on gryffindor"
"Remus"
"Yes yes I'm sorry, can't help it. Oh no it looks like regulus is close to getting the snitch. Come on James hurry up and score. Don't just sit there"
James was on and off with flying. When he saw regulus out the corner of his eyes he slowed down and stared but he was trying to focus on the game.
"There we go thank you James"
The crowd erupted in cheers as James scored. As this happened regulus caught the snitch.
" oh buggering hell slytherin has won. Regulus black caught the snitch. Good job mate though. See you in the library tomorrow"
" Remus your meant to support gryffindor"
" he's my mate. Better luck next time Phoebe"
Everyone started heading out of the stands to go back to the castle.
"Remus next time reduce the language please, and read the book i gave you. Or I'm sure Sirius and James would explain it to you"
"Will do professor and I'd rather read the book than let them explain"
Remus headed down the stairs to meet up with his friends. He met peter whilst going down.
"Hey pete"
"Hey moony. Great commentary it was so funny"
"Thanks mate."
"Do you reckon there's something going on with James and regulus?"
"What makes you think that"
"When James wasn't doing what he's supposed to, he was staring at regulus"
"I mean I guess it makes sense but I don't think James would do that to sirius yknow"
"Speaking of Hey padfoot. Where prongs?"
"Said he forgot something. Hey moon, so uh, you like my kit?"
"Maybe."
"You also love the hair"
"Maybe, I cannot disclose that information right now"
Peter took this as his cue to leave. The twos flirting was horrendous to watch they were so in love.
Peter set off to go meet Amanda. He walked past the changing rooms and saw James and regulus in a room sat down laughing but walked off so he didn't interrupt anything. He did suspect they were together and he was right
"You looked good out there reg"
"So did you James."
"Yeah but you looked better, and your form was amazing"
"Thanks. Can't say the same about you, you stared at me the whole time."
"You noticed?"
"I did. And if you carry on other people will notice"
"then you need to stop flirting with me before games and dont look so, you know you. and besides, I want to show off my gorgeous boyfriend"
"ill never stop and James, what about Sirius? And Snape will be even more horrible to you"
"I don't care. Sirius will know I'm good enough for you and you're a Slytherin just tell him to piss off"
"Absolutely not"
"Isn't a Slytherin trait meant to be confidence"
"Yes but I wasn't meant to be a Slytherin. I only am because I didn't want the same thing that happened to Sirius to happen to me so I asked the weird had to put me in Slytherin"
"What house were you meant to be in?"
"Hufflepuff"
"That explains so much"
A minute passed by and James just stared at regulus.
"Are you ever going to stop looking at me? You are acting like a perv"
"I'm not a perv, and What else do you suggest I do?"
"Well there are other things you could do"
"Like what?"
"Kiss me"
"Fine"
So he did. Time stopped as their lips met, they'd done this many times before but it was the same sensation every time.
"I really like you James"
"I really like you too reg"
"I have something to tell you."
"Go ahead"
"Well, Evan kind of asked me out"
"What did you say?"
"I'll think about it."
"Don't lead him on"
"It's fun"
"Reg, I'm your boyfriend"
"I know that. But no one else knows that"
"Tell them then"
"How am I supposed to do that? It's awkward. I'm ready to say an all but like how?"
"Fine then, I'll tell everyone. I will Make sure everyone knows I'm your boyfriend"
"Whatever James. Tell Sirius first though so he doesn't get mad"
"Fine. I need to go. Ill see you at dinner"
"James don't do anything embarrassing. I know you probably have something big planned"
"Me, embarrassing, nooooooo"
"Whatever, bye James"
"Goodbye"
James left in excitement, not bothering to think of any consequences and went back to the dorms. He talked to the marauders and said he had something big planned. He didn't tell them what it was though. James pulled Sirius aside. Once they were both in the bathroom James kinda froze up.
"Mate you alright what is it?"
"Sirius please don't hate me. Please"
"Why would I hate you? What have you done?"
"I'm kinda. How do I say this? I guess seeing someone"
"Oh my godric James. Who is it? Did Lily finally say yes?"
Sirius was visibly happy for James.
"No it's someone else. You know them"
"Don't tell me it's Peter or something, me and moony can be the only couple in the mar-"
"It's regulus"
Sirius was left speechless
"Pads please. Say something."
"How long?"
"Well it's January now so around I guess 7-ish months or so"
James looked to the floor in guilt. He knew he shouldn't have felt guilt but he did.
"How long we're you guys talking and whatever"
"Since last year Christmas break"
"Wow okay"
"Sirius we are happy together, he makes me happy and I make him happy. So if you have any objections say now"
"I don't have any objections. Just please focus on the game next time, I get your in love but still"
They both chuckled. James was relieved now.
"I will do. So your okay with it?"
"Yes I am. But I don't want to hear you two doing anything"
"I hear you and moony all the time, you can even ask Peter it's horrendous"
"Well it's different. Hey I can call you a brother-fucker now"
They started heading to the hall for dinner and James was nervous. He was also kind of angry that Evan asked out regulus but doing this would ensure it would never happen again. They sat down and started eating. James looked up to meet regulus' eyes.
"Prongs please stop eye fucking my brother"
"Never"
"James What were you planning on doing?"
"Well moony, I'm working up the courage to do it"
"You might want to do it now before people finish their food"
"And your a gryffindor, you have courage"
"Fine then I'll do it now"
James stood on top of his table where there was a clean area. He whispered an amplifying charm to make his voice loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Hello everybody. Everyone listen up"
Regulus blushes intensely putting his head in his hands.
"James What are you doing"
"Sorry professor I'm choosing not to hear you. Anyways as I was saying, i am making an announcement. It came to my attention that recently someone asked out my boyfriend. No one knows he's my boyfriend but you will now. He is mine. Me and regulus black are dating, if anyone gives him shit or asks him out ever again I won't hesitate to knock your teeth out"
The room erupted into chattering and people started staring at regulus asking him questions. He was smiling really. He thought it was romantic. But then everything started to become clearer. James came round the room to regulus and grabbed his hand running out the hall to the astronomy tower.
"Sorry didn't want you to have an anxiety attack or anything"
"Your amazing, yknow that, I really really think you are the best guy in the world. You just outed yourself for me and told everyone we're together, then knew to take me out before I got too yknow"
"Your better, I'm just doing what I can to keep you forever and be with you more"
"How do ya think Evan is?"
"He's probably crying to Barty"
"More than likely, now kiss me you fool"
And they stayed there. Just kissing and telling each other they love each other. They were only there for so long as they didn't want to face the hustle and bustle outside of there little bubble.
When it was finally getting late they headed out back to their dorms.
James 3rd person pov:
He was walking to gryffindor tower and smiling so hard, he'd done it, finally done it. Everyone knew. They were free. He opened the door to the common room and everyone just turned and stared at him. That's when the questions started. 'Is it true?' 'Are you gay?' 'Do you not feel weird dating a slytherin?' 'Isn't that your best friends brother?' James just shut them out and went to stand on a table to answer everything.
"One question at a time. Remember we have boundaries. First question"
"Are you being serious?"
"Yes fully"
"How long?"
"Um, a while"
"Are you gay?"
"Not fully, I'm omnisexual"
"You didn't answer the question of how long?"
"Fine 7 months"
"Why regulus black? Isn't he gonna become a death eater?"
"No. Absolutely not. He is better than that, with that I'm gonna go to bed"
James walked up, feeling strange. How long is this questioning period going to last? He got to the dorm and was faced with the three marauders and regulus?
"Reg, you okay?"
"Evan didn't want to see me so I slipped in during the, Whatever that was"
"When are you allowed to go back?"
"Don't know"
"Only enough attention for one of the black brothers ey?" Sirius was not happy. He was happy for them but if reg was gonna be taking his attention then no way.
"Sorry Sirius, just curious. Um anyways"
"James can I sleep here tonight? if it's okay with Sirius of course"
"Fine by me, Sirius?"
"No shagging"
"Brother of course we won't shag"
"Well I don't know"
Regulus lay back on james' bed closing his eyes. Not much happened really, regulus didn't care, he was happy. He just wasn't happy about one of his best friends liking him then just not.
"Reg what actually happened?"
Sirius overhead 'reg' and that was a mistake.
"YOU GET TO CALL HIM REG!?! I tried that once and got cursed. Honestly this is horrific"
"Calm down brother, go cuddle your boyfriend or something"
"Fine then"
"But seriously Reg, what happened?"
"When I got back, Evan and Barty were sat on a bed and Evan was crying. I walked in and said sorry I didn't tell you earlier and Barty said I think it's best you find somewhere else to sleep tonight. The house was fine with me being gay, just not that I'm with a gryffindor. I knew I'd get shit for that though"
"That's not great, I get what you mean about dating an opposing house though, I got questions why I went for someone in that house"
"It's all good, I'm not too bothered about it. They will be fine soon. In the mean time I've got you"
"Ew just ew. Stop it. Now"
"Sirius be quiet, we have all heard much worse coming from your bed"
"Thanks wormy, that I can agree now everyone go to sleep it's been a long day" James liked to make sure everyone got enough sleep. He made sure of it. he got closer to regulus holding him close as he drifted off, after the great but tiring day.
