James would never think so, but Regulus was an easy person to talk too. He was funny, and intelligent, and understanding. They were talking for hours, and they didn't even notice that the sun was setting. Madam Pomfrey came in and gave them soup and meat.

They quietly ate their food and then changed into their pyjamas.

'Night, Potter.' Regulus said with a rasp voice.

'Goodnight, Reggie!' James said with a cheerful tone.

However, James was incapable of sleeping,  so after a few minutes, he turned around. He studied Regulus's face looking peaceful, yet deadish. His features were perfectly lightened by the moon, and he looked like a sculpture. He would be a beautiful sculpture, James noted to himself. He also saw how long he took his breaths. The dark haired boy's chest elevated, up and down rhythmically, which calmed James down.

After a few minutes James finally was able to drift off, and sleep.

Brightness. That was the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes. Then a dark blurry figure infront of him. He slowly reached for his nightstand where his glass were laying. He put it on, and suddenly everything became sharper (who would've tought?).  When he looked back at the dark figure, he recognized Regulus who was staring at him.

'Morning Potter.' The dark haired boy greeted him.

'Morning, Reg.'

The younger Black faintly smiled.

'You should smile more.' James smirked at the younger boy.

Regulus looked shocked by this sentence, and turned his head away.

'I- I mean you look pretty when you smile.' James said it, but regretted it, the next minute. 'Sorry.' He muttered.

'Y-you look pretty too, I guess.' Regulus whispered.

The next few hours were silent, as the two boys were both embarrassed. After lunch Madam Pomfrey gave them some clothes, and let them go. They walked together 'till the stairs, and then said bye. After parting James felt alone. He knew the Marauders were probably on the school grounds, but he didn't really wanted to talk to them, so he walked to their Common Room.

'Hey!' said Lily quietly.

James nodded back, and sat next to the reading girl.

'They finally let you out?' asked the redhead.

'Mhm.' The one with the glasses mumbled.

'Fabian asked me out.' Lily chuckled.

'I guess you said no?'

'Of course not. I wouldn't date no one, let alone a man.' Lily laughed.

'Thought so.' Lily confessed her not being romantically attracted to no-one a few months ago.

Lily and James were talking 'till the boys came back.

'JAMIE!' Sirius yelled and hugged his best friend. Remus greeted him and then took out a paper.

'Gentlemens, here is our next prank.' Remus announced.
'We are going to make each Slytherins hair red or gold.'

'And how do you plan doing that, mosieur?' Sirius asked with a french accent.

'James is the transfiguration genius.' Remus said.

'Umm there is a spell called Tabus, that colours anything the wanted colour, 12 hours after it is applied. I just don't know how to get it on their hair.'
James admitted.

Peter stood up and walked over and over, and then exclaimed.
'What if we cast it on their pillows? Would it affect their head?'

'Peter, you are genius!' James clapped. 'Come on boys, if we do it now their hairs will be coloured at breakfast!'

James ran up for the Invisibility Cloak, and each boy got under it.

'Bye Lils!' They all said.

The boys ran down to the basement, and they needn't had to wait for long, two Slytherins walked out, so it gave them the perfect opportunity to sneak in. After scanning the room, they realized four person wouldn't be able to sneak there so they agreed it would be the best if James would be the one doing the prank.

The boy with the glasses targeted the boy's dormitory first. It was all going perfect, until he went in the 4th year's dorm. On one of the bed someone was sitting. He couldn't tell who he was, given the person's back was looking towards him. James enchanted all the pillows, and then walked towards the bed with the boy. He enchanted his pillow too, and then went around the bed to see who the person could be. James's heart dropped after recognizing the boy. The unmistakable grey eyes, and black hair, the saddish expression. James felt a weird feeling in his stomach. The boy was indeed beautiful, as an angel. Regulus took a sharp breath, and stood up. He almost bumped into James, but he stepped away. The boy with hazel eyes remembered why he was there and finished his job.
