My Best Friends Brother

Chapter 1-the train ride

James stepped onto the busy platform for the sixth time in his life.

Steam from the train filled the air. Euphemia's eyes were still damp from crying that her baby boy was growing up.

Fleamont was smiling about the young man he saw on the platform. "Alright let's go" Euphemia said, smile on her face.

James hopped on the train and got in the marauders usual compartment. Sirius appeared soon after.

The two boys pulled each other into a bone crushing hug. "How was your summer mate?" James asked the raven hair boy after they both sat down.

"Terrible, but as to be expected, with the toad in the house." Sirius said with a small sad smile on his face.

Just then Remus and Peter walked in. "hey guys" the werewolf said. They all sat down in the compartment, James and Peter on one side of the compartment and Remus and Sirius on the other side.

They started talking about their summers. "Me, mom, and dad went to America! It was so cool" said peter. "That's brilliant pete!" James said. "

"I didn't do very much" remus shrugged. They had all noticed the new scar remus had going across his face, but choose not to say anything about it. Sirius grabbed remus' hand and sqeesd it.

James had definitely noticed these little gestures that had been happening ever sense 1st year.

The train started moving and parents started waving bye. James, Peter, and Remus waved by to their parents while Sirius sat with his head down.

After they had left the station they all sat down and started conversating again.

An hour or so went by when the trolly lady came by. They ordered 3 chocolate frogs (for remus and ONLY remus), 4 cauldron cakes, and a few more little treats for everyone to share.

About 3 hours into the train ride someone came and slammed open the door to their compartment. He already had on his slytherin robes that looked pristine. His eyes were red and puffy, as he had just been crying.

"Oh um i- sorry i thought this compartment was empty" He said as he slammed the door and ran away.

"Who was that?" Peter asked after a minute of silence. Everyone else in the compartment knew exactly who that was.

Sirius had gone completely white which immediately changed to a smirk.

"That gentleman was the infamous regulus black"

———

Everyone was at the great hall enjoying the feast. Well everyone except regulus black. Regulus black was sobbing in his bedroom.

He was so mad. Mad at every little thing happening in his shitty life.

For one, last week Sirius had taken a crucio for him after he had broken a plate, saying it was his fault. Sirius would always protect regulus and regulus felt so guilty.

The second reason the younger black was crying is because he had been told horrifying news before he was going to get on the train. Earlier that day 15 year old regulus black had been told that he would be getting the dark mark this christmas.

So yes regulus black had two very good reasons to be mad.

--------------

James potter found himself lying in his bed awake for the first time that year. 'What was regulus black doing crying in the train today?' 'why do i even care' consisted of james' thoughts that night.

——————

The next week was filled with homework and thoughts of the black brother.

James was worried about him. Regulus had bags under his eyes and skin that looked more pale than ever.

That morning the griffindoor couldn't keep his eyes away from the little black.

'Even though he had bags under his eyes he still was the best looking slytherin'- whoa, James you did not just think that' he told himself.

"You ok mate?" Sirius asked from beside him.
"Yea yea fine" James said still a bit dazed.
