When The Stars Fall

The Stars

"I hear you caught the snitch in your pants," Marlene said as she walked into the boy's dorm with her friends.

"I want to hear the story of how you ended up in the shower with Regulus Black." Mary laughed.

Lily nodded in agreement, "How was it?" 

Sirius shook his head like a crazy man, "Don't say another word. I'll kill myself."

James stared at them all trying to piece together what they knew, "How do you even know these things?"

"Remus." They all answered with a shrug.

He scowled rolling his eyes, "Get out of my dorm! You too, Moony."

"Hey! You cant kick Moony out." Sirius complained wrapping his arms around Remus.

"Thank you." Remus nodded, "You three can leave though for throwing me under the bus."

Sirius smiled, "Does that mean I can get a kiss now?" He whispered.

"Did I not tell you to screw off yesterday?" Remus scoffed getting off the bed and heading for the door.

He reached for the doorknob when a knock came.

His eyebrows furrowed turning to the room, "James, Sirius, Marls, Lily, Mary... Peter doesn't knock. Who's missing?" He asked.

Lily walked over to him to whisper, "Usually when someone knocks and you don't know who it is, at least, in the muggle world, we open the door."

"I know how things work in the muggle world, Lily!" He scoffed pulling the door open, "What do you-" He raised an eyebrow seeing the younger Black standing outside the door awkwardly, "Hi there." He said instead with an innocent grin.

"Is, uh, is..." Regulus whispered, swallowing thickly as he tried to look into the room.

An idea popping into his head Remus faked a confused frown, "Your brother?" He asked.

Mary raised an eyebrow trying to look out the door, Remus' body blocking whoever he was talking to.

"Salzar I hope not." Regulus breathed out.

"James?" He asked.

Regulus scoffed shaking his head, "No. I- why would I- no!" He laughed, "Why the hell would I- I don't- no."

Sirius walked over getting on his tippytoes to try and look over his shoulder, "Who's at the- Regulus?"

Regulus shook his head, "No!"

"No?"

"I mean- of course I am. That's my name. You would know because you're my..."

"What do you need, Regulus?"

James leaned over trying to hear the conversation.

"Dreams!" Regulus blurt out.

"Dreams?" Sirius repeated.

"Dreams?!" James asked, voice going up an octave.

Lily looked over at him raising an eyebrow.

He gulped looking away, 'Shit shit shit. Does he know? He can't know. How would he know?!'

"Yes... dreams." Regulus said slowly, "Or not dreams exactly but, uh..."

"Divination." Remus nodded giving him a look to go along with it.

Regulus nodded deciding to just stay quiet.

"You're working with James, right? That's why you're here?"
