Regulus is a ghost—one of those that no one is able to see—and he’s just trying to comfort his brother, and be there for him when Sirius needs it the most. But even now he can’t really do that.
james: it’s a shame how fast our childhood has passed
peter: yeah, i mean, when was the last time any of us was just unconditionally happy and, i don’t know, blew bubbles?
sirius: i don’t think i ever did that but i did blow moony like forty minutes ago in our dorm. made us both really happy
remus: he’s right
regulus: why? why on earth do you have no verbal filter?
do you ever think about how james potter would definitely be the type of person to use the words without knowing their meaning, just like assuming he understands them correctly?
it would literally go like this:
james: reg, you’re so sweet! wanna be my sugar baby?
regulus: *chokes on water*
tbf tho, james is rich enough to not back down once he knows the real meaning, lmao
quit being embarrassed about your interests. we’re all just spinning through time and space on a floating green rock at a thousand miles an hour. it’s all just dust
Young Harry talking to visitors: My papa is the best with knives
James, laughs awkwardly: Yes, dear. Reggie is the most delightful cook.
Young Harry: No I meant his dagger-
James, shoving cake into Harry's mouth: Here, sweetheart
Regulus, grinning: Harry, darling. Do you mean my tricks? Your daddy especially likes it when I use them in the bedroo-
James, shoves cake into Reg's mouth: Love, stop joking around. We have guests.
*Later*
James: Reggie, you can't SAY that infront of people.
Regulus: *takes out James' fav dagger*
James, inhales sharp breathe: Ah fuck it. Come here.
The happy ending
James: would you still love me if I was transfigured into a worm :((
Reg: No.
~~sirius transfigures james into a worm as a prank on reg~~
Reg *sobbing and cradeling the worm gently*: turn him back turn him back please
James (as a worm): knew it ;)
"WHY WOULD U WRITE THESE NICE PARENTS AS HOMOPHOBIC WHEN U COULD MAKE THEM SUPPORTIVE 😭 😭 😭 " because sometimes nice parents are homophobic and not supportive. hope this helps!!
James: *says something dumb*
Regulus: I swear to Merlin, you are so much like Sirius. Sometimes, I think im fucking my brother. Are you finally proud mother? Keeping up the family tradition.
James: I just wanted to know whether ice cream is a soup, not that you are the result of incest
i wanna save you from your sorrow
He raised his hand to a stray curl that had fallen forward over her face, pushing it back behind the shell of her ear. “I actually need your help with something important. And for it to work out as I hope, I need your trust as well.” A wry smile bloomed on his lips. “You will soon realise that I need your help more than I need your silence.”
I am so chuffed to be sharing this collage created by the amazing Naira for chapter 4, the prefects’ bathroom scene…
If that wasn’t enough, Naira is also translating the fic into Russian! 💜 Thank you!
