after marina stormed away, peter grabbed the back of remus' shirt and yanked him towards him. "why is everyone grabbing my jumper?" he asked, grabbing it back from peter.
"what did you just say to marina?" he asked. sirius and james came behind peter, looking confused. "what did you say?" sirius asked. james nodded along.
"i was just telling her the truth." remus said simply. "what did he say?" james asked, turning to look at peter. "he just told marina he never liked her!" he exclaimed. sirius and james both gasped dramatically.
"why would you say that?" sirius asked, getting closer to remus. "it's the truth, mate. i fancy someone else." he said, shoving his hands into his pocket. "who?" the three boys asked at the same time.
"alyssa abbott!"
"laura's cousin?" sirius asked, grabbing his shoulders. "laura has a cousin?" remus asked, looking surprised. "yes, and she's a bitch!" he snapped, slapping remus' shoulder. "how did you even meet her?"
"i don't even know if she knows i exist!" remus said sadly. peter gasped. "holy shit! i've seen this before!" he said.
without explanation, he grabbed remus' arm and yanked him away, clearly looking for someone. "peter! what are you doing?" he asked, trying to pull his hand away.
peter found who he was looking for and rushed towards him. "regulus!" he said. regulus, who was talking to stella next to the castle, looked over in surprise.
"hey! hi! random question, do you know how to make an anti love potion?" peter asked. "love potion? what are you talking about?" remus asked. james came behind him and covered his mouth.
"was remus put under a love potion?" regulus asked, looking back at remus, who was now licking james' hand to get him to remove it.
"yeah, and he's said some pretty nasty things to marina, so we need this fixed." peter explained. stella raised her eyebrows. "what nasty things did he say?" she asked, popping her knuckles.
"love, he's under a love potion. don't hurt him." regulus said calmly, grabbing her hand. "anyways, i totally can. after the train leaves i'll sneak into the potions classroom."
"woah, we're going home. we need it done like...now." james said. regulus sighed. "okay, james, stall the train. you're a trouble maker so figure it out." he said. "peter, you and my brother keep remus right here."
peter nodded and grabbed remus before regulus kissed stella's cheek and ran inside the castle quickly. "i'll be right back, going to pretend to pass out on the tracks." james said flipping his collar off and walking away.
"remus, don't worry, everything will be fine." remus said calmly. "nothing is wrong with me!" he responded stubbornly.
peter heard a loud commotion at the front of the train and knew james had done it. this would stall the train for sure!
fifteen minutes later, regulus came back out with a bag around his shoulder. he stopped in front of them and leaned into his knees, breathing quite heavily. "i don't think i've ever run faster in my life." he gasped.
"okay, this should be it." regulus whispered, pulling peter aside. "have him drink it on the train. it will most likely make him tired."
"regulus, you are a lifesaver!" peter said, taking the bag from him. "you're just lucky i care about marina." he muttered, turning back to stella.
james came back and smiled widely when he saw peter holding the bag. "great! my performance was brilliant, by the way." he said, giving himself a high five.
"performance? it was so obvious you faked that!" lily said as she walked by him. "evans! you saw that?" he asked, attempting to follow her but sirius grabbed his neck and pulled him back.
"calm down loverboy. we have a train to ride and a relationship to save." he said. "make that three!" peter sang. "what do you mean?" sirius asked immediately.
