The fate that ties us together

Chapter 4: Operation Wolfstar

It was time for the boys to leave but before they left James needed to talk to his parents. All five boys were standing next to the fireplace waiting for the Potters to come and say their goodbyes and for James to say whatever he wanted. Euphemia and Fleamont came with a bag. "Here some sweets" Euphemia said, handing the bag to James. James immediately opened the bag to see biscuits and Remus' favourite chocolate. "Thanks" All five boys said with a smile. "Mum, Dad there is something I need to say to you guys" James said rubbing his arm nervously. Euphemia and Fleamont smiled kindly at James knowing what he wanted to say but was patiently waiting for him to say it. James had taken a deep breath. "I'm in love with Regulus and he loves me back," James said proudly and with determination in his eyes. Regulus was shocked at how honest and brave James was. "Oh, honey we know" Euphemia said, hugging her son. "How couldn't we, I watched you when you first started to realise it, that smile that you had on when Regulus was looking at the Muggle telly was bigger than his and you didn't have that smile when it was Sirius, you look glad but with Regulus you looked like you just saw the sun for the very first time, you were also studying for three days while it was just you and Regulus and you hate to study not that I am complaining but not even we can get you to do it even though you said it was because Remus yelled at you but you never listened before plus you ran after him when he was feeling sad, didn't you ever wonder why your parents never asked you where you were or why you were out until the next day?" Fleamont also hugged his son. After Fleamont let go, James looked at him with tears in his eyes from relief. "I always just thought that Sirius or Remus told you," James said, puzzled that his parents knew. "No, don't get us wrong we worried that you stayed out all night but we knew you were safe with each other and you also went and asked me for Muggle money when you have never asked, before you always asked me or Remus or Peter when you wanted something Muggle, why do you think we wanted to adopt Regulus, apart from that he's such a gorgeous boy, you would have done anything to make sure he was safe because Regulus is right you do tend to be the hero and we love you no matter who you love, you're still our James Fleamont Potter, nothing has changed" Euphemia said with a comforting hand on James' shoulder. "Thanks mum and dad" James said, giving his parents a quick hug. James truly did love his parents, he knows that they are not perfect but he also knows that they will always be in his corner no matter what. "Now off you go and don't cause too much trouble" Fleamont said winking at the boys knowing what they get up to. Euphemia quickly gave all the five boys a hug goodbye. "Hogwarts" Remus yelled, throwing the floo powder. All five boys were engulfed with green flames.

It had been a week since the five boys came back from the Potters and Sirius was really starting to get annoyed with James' plans to get him and Remus together. James had suggested for Sirius and Remus to be locked into a closet or room until they admitted their feelings but Sirius had said that was stupid because it wasn't like they had magic to get themselves out and Sirius was too much of a wimp to just go up to Remus and confess, even though James kept telling Sirius that Remus had feelings for him not that Remus ever told James, James knew from the way Remus looked and treated Sirius but Sirius just thought James was lying to him. James later just tried leaving Remus and Sirius alone together but the two of them just did what they usually did when left alone as it wasn't unusual for them to be alone together. Regulus wasn't any better he would just tell Sirius to man up and just tell Remus how he felt as Sirius could see the thread that tied him to Remus but Sirius would always glare at Regulus and Regulus would reply with it's not like I'm good with the love department myself. So as the four Marauders went to meet Regulus at Hogsmeade, James decided to take things in his own hands since Sirius rejected most of his plans he decided he would do this one without Sirius knowing. Finally they met up with Regulus who had apologised for being late, he had to try and lose Snape who had been following Regulus which James was frustrated with because he barely had time with Regulus, every time they met they had only few minutes together before Snape found them and Regulus had to go since no one knew about what happened over the weekend with the Black house, Regulus and Sirius had informed the other three that it was probably because their parents didn't want to feel anymore humiliated then they already were with having one disgraceful son. As the five of them made their way out of the three broomsticks James grabbed hold of Peter's and Regulus' arm to make them stop, pulling them into the crowd that was in the three broomstick and quickly hiding them under his invisibility cloak. Sirius and Remus stopped outside when they seemed to not be able to see their friends anymore, they quickly looked inside again but couldn't find them, so they decided to just go to Honeydukes without them thinking that they might be there already.
