October 1st 1976
James Potter detention for 2 hours with professor McGonagal.
That slip of paper had been handed to him for countless times now. Detention with Minne was always his favorite.
James knew that she loved all the marauders like her own kids.
He was in professor Bins class spacing out. 'Why would they even hire a ghost to teach a class?' James thought
"Mr. Potter could you repeat my question?" Professor Slughorn said.
"Um.. what type of potion dose Golpalott's Third Law pertain to?" James said with an innocent face.
Bin looked quite surprised. "And the answer to that?"
"Antidotes" James said with a smirk.
"Very well then." Professor Bin continued with his lesson.

James was walking with the marauders to DADA when they came across something in the hallway.
"Give it back Snape!" Said Collin a small 2nd year boy.
Snape, Mulciber, and Avery held the boys wand above their heads along with his books.
"Oi! Snivillus, give the kid his books back" said Sirius.
"Not a chance Black" said Snape
"Yea get lost blood traitor!" Said Avery
Sirius drew his wand in a blink of an eye. "Give the kid his books back or I'll shove yours up your arse"
Just then regulus stepped in. "Snape let's go he's a disappointment that's not worth your time"
Snape rolled his eyes "fine but just you wait Black." He said as he dropped the kids things to the ground letting them fall all over the place.
The marauders helped the kid pick up his things and James said "you alright kid?"
"Yea thank you guys!" He said then ran off.

Reggie was sitting in his room contemplating what he just did. He did not believe in all that blood purity shit that his mother was feeding him. He just wanted to be a normal kid.
Yes he stopped the kid from getting hurt, but he also insulted Sirius.
Regulus liked to keep out of things, it was just so much easier and you wouldn't have to hurt anyone's feelings.
He wanted to build a relationship with Sirius like they used to have.
But with stupid James Potter around, he felt replaced.
James was the brother Sirius always wanted. He liked the same things as him, and they did everything together. They both loved quitich . James would get up at 6 am to practice and would sometimes drag Sirius out of bed just for someone to play with. Regulus would see them practicing sometimes.
As he looked out the window that morning all He wished was that he could be that close with his brother.

That night James was also contemplating in his bed.
His mind kept wandering to the little black.
Yes he did insult Sirius but he also stoped Snivillus.
James knew that there was a different side of regulus that he didn't show anyone. His mask just needed to come off.
James had noticed that regulus looked more and more sick. His pale skin had turned almost white. His eyes had bags so large they could probably carry groceries. His lips were so chapped that they could scratch something if pressed against.
James thought he should definitely pay a visit to Madam Pomphrey.
He suddenly got really hungry. He cast a quick tempus charm and saw that it was 1am. 'I'll just go down for a quick snack' thought James.
He grabbed the cloak and map and headed out the dorm.
As he was walking he saw something odd in the map. It was regulus black in the kitchens just sitting there.
James shrugged his shoulders and kept walking.
When he got to the kitchens he tickled the pear and walked in. Of course Regulus black sat there munching on a trecical tart.
James was still under his cloak so no one had seen him yet.
He was suspecting the younger black to be doing.....something, but regulus was just having a conversation with the house elf's.
The regulus black, pureblood enthusiast, bother of the heir to the black family, was talking to house elf's.
"How is mr. black doing tonight?" A house elf named jazzy said.
"Eh. I feel bad about what I said to my bother today." Said regulus
"Can jazzy ask what mr. Black said"
"I told him he was a disappointment." Regulus said.
"Dose mr Black truly believe that?" Jazzy asked
"Of course I don't. I love him jazzy I really do. He's my brother. I don't believe in all that pureblood shit. I wish I wasn't a black." Regulus ranted.
"Jazzy is terribly sorry for mr black."
"Thanks jazzy. And call me regulus please like I've been telling you for years" regulus said with a chuckle.
"Of course mr. regulus black!" Jazzy said
Regulus chuckled "I brought you a present jazzy"
"Really?!" Jazzy said happiness filling her eyes
Regulus handed jazzy a pair of fuzzy socks. "I know you can't be freed but I thought of you when I bought these."
Jazzys eyes started tearing up "thank you mr. regulus" she said.
"Of course jazzy and thank you for this delicious tart" Reggie said
After that he smoothly walked out of the portrait with a smile on his face.
After James had just watched that whole thing he didn't know what to think. One thing he knew for sure was that Regulus Black was full of surprises.
