March 2nd 1977

James was running out of time. He had to save Regulus. Only 3 more months until school is over. 3 more months.

He knew regulus would either be killed or have to kill if he went back to the noble house of black.

James had to stop him. But every time he's been close too him regulus runs away.

James had to get him cornered somehow.

————————————————-

Regulus was just reading by his same tree near the black lake. It was always so peaceful right here.

Suddenly someone came up and snatched the book out of his hands. "Hey what the hell-"

He could hardly finish that sentence before that person pinned him too the ground.

"Reg listen too me" said James sitting on top of him.

Regulus stated to squirm trying to get out of James' grasp.

" oh no little black you need to listen to me, so if your not going to corporate I can petrify you our we could get up and talk like civilized people." Said James with a stern face. He was done playing games.

Regulus sighed "fine Potter."

They both sat up slowly making sure the other wouldn't move. Both the boys leaned against the tree.

"So why isn't Sirius here." Said regulus

"Ummmm can't really give out that information" said James smirking

"Ugh whatever just make sure you avoid my dorm with whatever Sirius is doing right now thanks." Said regulus with an eye roll.

James just smirked again "we'll see"

Regulus gave a discussed look but on the inside he wanted to laugh.  "So Potter why was it nessasery to pin me down"

"So you don't run away from me again you bloody tosser" he said nugding his shoulder.

Regulus rolled his eyes again "what do you want from me Potter."

"I wanna talk" said James

"We are talking" said regulus picking grass

James grabbed regulus shoulders. "Look reg I need you to listen to me and listen good..."

Regulus was just mesmerized by his beautiful eyes.

"Wallburga is not a mother. She is nothing close to it. She is terrible and abusive. If you go back to her then you will have to get the dark mark. Regulus you are not one of them. You do not belong to her" said James looking directly into regulus' eyes.

Regulus eyes we're getting watery. "She's the only one who will take care of me."

"Reg...that's not true. You have me and Sirius. Come stay at my house for the summer please." James said with beginning eyes.

"I-I'm sorry James I can't." Regulus said trying to get out of James' grip.

"Regulus look at me-" he tilted regulus head up to look at him -"yes you can. You will be so much better off. So much happier."

Regulus had silent tears down his face now. "James- I must fill the orders as heir of the blacks"

"Regulus this is not you. I know the real Reggie and this is not him." Said James

Regulus hung his head trying to hide his tears. "Why do you have to make everything so damn hard James Potter." Whispered regulus under his breath.

"Because it's my job" James said tilting the younger boys head back up again.

They both were centimeters apart when they started to lean in.

Their noses were touching and they could feel each other's hot breaths when suddenly....
