"What the hell did you do?" Regulus was sat at the dining table, opposite a pair of very nervous boys. Between them sat a very burnt copy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, not just any copy, James' copy that he had been reading.

"Well....ummm.....volcano? I-In the back garden?" Sirius stuttered.

"You're trying to tell me that there is a volcano in the back garden?" Reg snapped. If you couldn't already tell, he wasn't very happy.

"It was his fault!" Sirius shouted, pointing at James.

"Potter?"

"IT WASN'T ME IT WAS HIM!" He yelled back, pointing at Sirius and then going on to smack him around the head.

"Whatever, don't worry about it, it's done now." Regulus sighed, standing up and leaving the room. Before he could reach the bathroom, where he was hoping to splash water on his face in an attempt to calm himself, he was stopped by a firm grip around his wrist. He turned and was faced with a very weary looking James Potter.

"I-I'm sorry. Please don't be mad."

"What's done cannot be undone." He tried to pull away but was unsuccessful.

"But you only call me Potter when you're mad at me!" Regulus stared at the floor in deep thought.

"Potter, did you spill water on the bed, or is it piss?"

"Potter! Just shut up will you?"

"I really don't care who did it, Potter, but you were involved so tell me why my hair is green!"

"Potter!"

He let out a defeated sigh.

"I'm not mad."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

"What's done cannot be undone....." James muttered under his breath as Reg began to walk away. "Hold on, did you quote Shakespeare?" All that could be heard was the faint laugh of Regulus as he entered the bedroom.

"REGULUS! IF YOU DON'T HURRY THE FUCK UP I'M GOING TO-" Sirius yelled from outside the bedroom. Regulus sighed before opening up the door and raising one eyebrow at the boy in front of him.

"Or you're going to do what?" Sirius turned around to Lupin for help but when he didn't say anything Reg pushed past him. "That's what I thought." He made his way down the stairs and into the kitchen where he found the one and only James Potter attempting to eat a piece of toast and put his shoes on at the same time. "Why the rush?"

"Lily's going to be there!" He exclaimed, his expression instantly lighting up at the mention of her name.

"Oh, right,  'course..." James tied up his shoelaces and ran straight out of the door, Sirius and Peter not far behind him. Evans. Of course Evans was going to be there. Anywhere Lily went, James followed suit so why was Reg suddenly so annoyed? It's not as if he cared who James liked.
