A Star And A Stag Is A Weird Combination - Jegulus & Wolfstar

Chapter 13

Remus saw, oh he definitely saw. The not-so-discreet glances. The pinkies. The small smiles, which were more from Regulus than James, who was beaming ear to ear. Sirius was absolutely clueless to this, as he was to most things that were right in front of his face. That oblivious piece of shit was definitely clueless to the flirting that he has been doing to the werewolf. On second thought, Remus might have been imagining that when the rational thought should have been that he was being way too nice. He always pondered small things to a great extent and this was most likely the same instance.

After what felt like hours, which was only twenty minutes, they arrived at Hogwarts. Regulus stayed with their group, making sure to distance himself from any of his cousins though it would be near impossible with the fact that they were also Slytherins. Regulus gave the group a small smile before separating from the group, going to the table with a green and silver snake banner nearby.

¨If only Dumbledore allowed students to sit at whatever table they wanted. There are things called having friends in different houses you know?" Remus rolls his eyes at Sirius' words, though it did seem reasonable. People like Evan and Regulus would be able to sit at the Gryffindor table without a care in the world. Remus watched as people started to get sorted though he barely paid attention to the names being called. The names have been called and the food appeared at the middle of the table, the boys started grabbing food almost immediately.

¨So how was summer?" Peter asks with a mouth full of food, in which Remus glares at him and kicks his shin. ¨Manners Wormtail" he mumbles before continuing to eat. Sirius and James looked at each other at the question and smiled. ¨I finally moved in with James, brought a stowaway with me¨ the Black hums, shoveling some potatoes into his mouth.

¨You brought a cat? You definitely didn't bring a dog because then there'd be two of you¨ Peter jokes and the others shook their head. ¨He brought a cat of sorts. If his brother counts as a cat that is.¨ James responds this time, eating some of the chicken off of Remus' plate. ¨Oi, get your own" he huffs, pulling his plate a bit towards him as if that would stop James' grabby hands.

¨But Moonyyyyy! You got the good pieces!" he whines, trying to lean forward. Almost instantly he was pulled down by a hand on his shoulder. ¨You're causing a scene, James, just get some chicken that isn't from Remus' plate¨ Lily stares at him pointedly before going back to eating. His face flushes and he shakes his head, being persistent. Peter looks at Remus, who in return shrugged his shoulders. James and Lily were on a first-name basis?

¨Please Moony! I'll tell you Sirus's deepest darkest secret¨ that got a glare sent directly his way. ¨I am quite aware that he is too scared to cut his own hair.¨ Remus responds absentmindedly and Sirius looks almost offended when he hears those words. ¨At least I'm not afraid of heights!¨ he says and Remus dramatically gasps, going with the dramatics since his fear was rather obvious anyways.

¨My fear of height is completely rational! I don't see cutting one's own hair to be ranked high on the phobias¨ he responds and Peter shook his head. ¨The real nightmares are snakes...¨ he mumbles and James was quick to interrupt. ¨Yes yes, snakes eat mice we know¨ he rolls his eyes, causing his friends to snicker. ¨I rather think he's more of a rat actually¨ a voice says behind James. Regulus?

He turns around and there he was, trying very hard not to laugh at the looks on the marauder's faces. ¨Seeming as it's the first day back, we should all hang out...as one says¨ Regulus hums, the words 'hang out' feeling weird coming out of his mouth. ¨Us?¨ Peter squeaks, the sound legitimately emitting from his throat. ¨Yes, you four and Lily. I have already invited Evan, so please do come. Room of requirements, thirty minutes after dinner" he nods his head politely at the group before exiting the Great Hall, ignoring the curious eyes that followed him. If he was going to be disowned, he'd do it just like his brother, albeit with a little pizazz.

Peter looks at his friends, betrayal clear on his face. ¨What in the bloody hell did I miss?¨ he says, looking at James and Sirius. ¨Well obviously we're friends with Regulus now, get with the program Wormtail¨ Remus hums, drinking from his goblet.

James wouldn't really call a date and flirting being friends but they hadn't made anything official by any means. He didn't even know if Regulus wanted a second date.
