His fool • jegulus •

•three•

as the month went by regulus succeed in his vow until a cough behind him in the library while he was studying, made him jump turning around and there stood james potter in all his glory. regulus looked at the older " what do you want potter?" he asked in a emotionless voice clearly annoyed someone had interrupted
him.

"to talk" was all the other responded with continuing looking at the other as he sat across from the younger

regulus rolled his eyes "don't you have someone who cares to talk to" and returned his eyes to the book trying to ignore the annoying gryffindor. james tried constantly to talk to him and revived no reply till he finally got enough and snatched the others book from his hands.

regulus tried to reach for it " give it back potter!" the closer regulus got the higher james held it while chuckling.  " i came to talk to you and you are going to listen, if u do you can have your precious book." james said with his famous smirk.

regulus narrowed his eyes at the other before sighing in defeat "fine make it quick." flopping down in his chair, the smirk didn't leave potters face as he sat down and held the book tightly "i heard what happened between you and sirius." james sighed and looked back at the other "couldn't have tried even a little bit? he made the effort why couldn't you?"

regulus scoffed "why should i? when he doesn't actually care, we both know he only did because u talked to him." the younger spoke and crossed his arms. " because he is your brother" james spoke trying to remain calm " yea right, he's your brother not mine after all."

james chuckled  and kept his bubbly smile then placed his hands on the table getting right in front of regulus their faces a few inches apart "listen here, you can stop acting like this, because this isn't you" regulus may have not actually said many words to this conversation after all he barley did.

truth was james wanted to be the one to break this facade the young has and he was accepting the challenge to do it. james smirked as he got a idea and put the book in the others arms and grabbed the youngers arm practically dragging him outside.

regulus face was red and james assumed it was embarrassment but the truth was regulus hadn't thought to much or realized it but he found the older attractive but he shook his head, no what was he thinking.

they went actually outside and the autumn air hit their faces not yet cold. "where are you taking me, potter?!" regulus asked angrily not at all appreciating being dragged against his will to some unknown place practically being kidnapped he had to much on his plate to be dealing with the older. school, quidditch, his parents, "oh god...his parents" he thought as the thoughts of his parents and what they would react if they saw him with the potter boy.

he didn't have a chance to finally have a answer as he found himself at the quidditch pitch with the older, but in front of him was his brother turning away clearing waiting on something. "ah you made it pads!" james spoke towards his best mate.

sirius smiled turning to the other but quickly frowned seeing his best friend with his little brother "what's this about then?" sirius asked with a eyebrow raised looking at his friend.

" you and regulus are going to have a little chat padfoot." james smiled looking between the brothers " oh because that worked so well last time" regulus spoke sarcastically and sirius rolled his eyes the brothers similarities showing but potter never would admit that to either, that they were more alike then they thought.

james sighed and shook his head speaking  " this time you both are going to listen and i swear to merlin i'll leave you both out here to freeze if you both don't get your heads out your arses" sirius opened his mouth to say something in retort to the other but the look james showed him that he was siriusly(pun intended)
