Once the two teenagers get settled in the car, the garage door opens and they make their way out of the garage. As James' car rides down the road, headlights from a black van turns on and follows.

James shakes his head, not liking the silence and Regulus is facing the window, ignoring him. James turns on the radio, one of his songs: Something About the Sunshine starts playing. He starts singing along, "There's something about the sunshine, baby. I'm seeing you in an all new light." Regulus turns his head and looks at him with his eyebrows raised.

"Really?" He asks, clearly annoyed. James glanced at him then goes back focusing on the road. "What? I'd thought you'd like it."

"Let me guess, you'd thought I'd be dying to ride in a car with James Potter as he sings to one of his big hits. A fan's dream come true!" Regulus stated, saying the last sentence with sarcasm while he shakes his hands, palms forward. James just shrugs and Regulus puts his hands back down.

"There's just one problem."

James raises an eyebrow. "And which is?"

"I'm not your fan." Regulus said.

James' face and mouth drops to a slightly saddened look. "You don't-," He clears his throat, "you don't like my music?"

"No I like your music, I'm just not crazy about you."

"But you don't even know me.." James tilts his head, slightly confused.

"Precisely." Regulus looks away. James has the slight freaked out look again. He looks sideways, figuring out what to say now.

"You know... I think- I think if you did know me, you'll really like me." He stuttered.

"Turn, here!" Regulus points to the road, clearly ignoring what he said. James frowns.

James switches lanes and goes right. On the other hand, the paparazzi following them had to stop at a red light. The driver throws their hands up in frustration.

The car pulls up to a driveway, James now knowing that it is Regulus' grandmother's house. He parks and immediately, Regulus unbuckled the seatbelt and grabbed his satchel (which probably came out of nowhere but we'll pretend he had it the whole time because I said so) on his way to open the door until James grabbed his arms to stop him.

"Look. Regulus, I just want to say I'm sorry." He shrugged his shoulders in an apologetic manner with a small smile. Regulus turned to him with an eyebrow raised.

"Noted. Are we done now?" He asked coldly.

James blinked twice, not expecting that tone come from an adorable face- wait what? No. No. Regulus totally does not have a cute, lovable...okay so maybe he does. But James being James decides to ignore his thoughts for now and focus back on the boy in front of him.

"Um, yeah, yeah. I guess we're done now."

"Good." Regulus got out without another glance at the Potter boy and snuck quietly inside the house.

James did an awkward smile for a second. "Yeesh." As if snapping out of a trance, he started the car again but then stopped when he spotted a black van flashing a big white light as if it's searching for something. He groaned and sunk down the seat when he realized it's the paparazzi.

"Well this is great." He muttered.
