One of Us | Jegulus

Prologue

This is a James Potter x Regulus Black story. I believe it is one of the less common ships but I recently fell in love with it and couldn't stop creating head canons about it.

And since Regulus is so goddamn underrated and my absolute favourite character I wanted to see him a bit more appreciated.

So here it is, "One of Us", my first Harry Potter fan-fiction and my first English written book, so be kind :)

The song that kind of inspired me to write this is "One of Us" by New Politics.

Sirius paced around the entrance hall anxiously. What took James so long to return? It was just a simple spying mission. He'd done it a hundred times. But something must have happened. He should be back by midnight, but now it was two AM already. It made him furious that he didn't know the location of James' mission. Otherwise he could go looking for him himself, he wouldn't hesitate a second.

Someone placed a warm hand on his upper arm. Sirius turned around and found Remus standing behind him.
"He'll be alright. It's not unusual to be back late. Maybe he was forced to go into hiding."
Remus' smile almost calmed him down a bit. Almost. He leaned into the taller boy's chest and closed his eyes. He was so grateful for Remus to be there. He couldn't do it alone, all this waiting and worrying and expecting the worst.

They stood in silence for several minutes. Then, finally, they heard a loud cracking sound just outside the house. Sirius rushed to the door and flung it open.
"James!" He cried, relieved. He wanted to run towards him when he saw the limp body James was carrying.
"Prongs, who-"
But when James stepped over the threshold and was captured in the light of the entrance hall, they could properly see him and the unconscious boy in his arms. Sirius didn't need to finish his question.
He was staring at them with a unreadable expression.

"Regulus?!"
