My Best Friends Brother

Chapter 4-December

December 1st, 1976

James was way to excited for Christmas. It was his favorite holiday!

He remembered when he was little, getting a toy broom which he road for hours that day.

He rolled out of bed with his regular peppy energy, ready for the day.

After last month's prank that regulus pulled on him, he had been think of ways to get him back, he knew it had to be personal and regulus was the definition of a closed book.

—————-

At the great hall regulus was sick to his stomach. In just 3 weeks he was going home to get the dark mark. All he wanted to do was run.

Run from everything. His mom. His dad. Hogwarts. Friends. Just run.

But he couldn't. Sirius would get the blame for it, as he always did. And regulus could never live knowing that he hurt his brother.

————

Reg was sitting by the lake in a tree when he saw someone walking towards him. Actually there were 4 people walking towards him. It looked like a group of boys laughing together....

Shit.

He needed to get out of there. He did not want to think more about Sirius (and possibly his friend) more.

He tried to jump out of the tree as fast as possible but ended up landing in his back with a thud.

Shit.

"Oi! Padfoot is this your brother that pranked us last month" James said with a smirk.

"Yes dumbass he's my only brother, and he did prank us yes, with an actually good prank. How did you come up with that anyway?" said Sirius

"Guys I don't want any trouble, let's just forget about this and move on." Said regulus with a tempting smirk. He knew exactly what game he was playing at.

"Ok Reggie but watch your back" said James.

The marauders walked away from regulus who was still on the ground.

"Don't call me that!" Regulus yelled as they walked away.

James responded with looking behind him and winking at the younger black.

December 8, 1976

'It's only 2 more weeks until you know what' regulus thought in his head.

He didn't know what the bloody hell to do. Maybe he could lie and say he ate a bad pastry or something.

'You idiot the dark lord can read minds' he thought again.

He needed some mindless fun so he decided to go to the quitich pitch for some practice.

—-

He released the snitch into the air. The golden globe zoomed through space and suddenly it was gone into the clouds. Regulus immediately raced after it. After only 30 minutes of searching he found it again. Zooming through the air was his favorite thing in the world. His hair whooshed back and his uniform flowed in the wind. Just as he was about to wrap his fingers around the ball he heard a whistle from under him.

"Oi! Reggie wanna play?" Yelled James from 50 feet under him.

Regulus grunted and flew down the field. "You made me lose the snitch Potter what the hell!"

James let out a chuckle "sorry reg you up for a game of 1v1?"

"Don't call me that and no thank you." He said with a stern face.

"Awww please Reggie" said James with puppy dog eyes.

Regulus sighed "fine one game and don't call me that."

James whooped.

Up in the air they were both naturals. James definitely didn't notice regulus' ass looked good in his practice uniform.

James released the quaffel and they both zoomed for it at incredibly high speed. Regulus got it first and started to fly threw the pitch and after a few blocks from James he got it in.

In the end regulus won 5-4

"Good game Potter." Said regulus once he was on the ground.

James got of his broom and in a hurry so quick that he slipped and fell in a patch of mud.

Regulus just laughed. And laughed. And laughed.

"Are you going to help me up or what?!" Said James still struggling to get up.

"Yea yea come on" regulus pulled out his hand.

James smirked than pulled the little black down in the mud with him, landing regulus right on top of James.

Regulus gasped then quickly grabbed some of the mud and smeared it on James' face.

James was about to do the same thing but their eyes meet and they just started at each other.

Regulus got startled and said "um- nice job Potter" and walked fastly away

'That was weird' both James and regulus thought. 

——————————

Regulus was lying in his bed thinking and reflecting about the day.

He had just played quitch with James Potter and worst of all he liked it.

Regulus was still stressed about his grades and the dark mark he didn't need to worry about stupid Potter.

'But his eyes are so pretty'

Shit.

(A/n hoped y'all liked this chapter! The next one will be very long. I may or may not have wrote this in social studies class... one other note just to clarify for anyone who wants Reg is pronounced like like Reggie without the ie if that makes sence?)
