There he stood standing in front of the Potter family home, pausing for a few seconds to get his head straight before knocking on the door. It took a few moments but when the door opened Lily Evans on the other side and smiled at him before stepping aside. "Come in Regulus."
"Thank you, Lily. Who is here?" he questioned.
"I, Remus, Sirius," she paused, "and James."
Regulus can't help the smile that came onto his face as he ran through the house "James!" he yelled. Regulus stopped when he got to the kitchen and so did the other young man. "Reggie," James let out like a breath. The calmness at overcame the two of them was the most peace had felt in months. They were hugging when Sirius ran into the room, "Reg, what are you doing. You should not be here." Sirius was panicking, "What if you have someone following you?"
Regulus and James parted but James got hold of Reggie's hand and pulled him into his side before he could step away. Regulus wrapped his arm around James' waist as he turned to talk to his brother, who was in a similar position with Remus. "It is okay Sirius. Pandora, Narcissa, Josie and I have created a spell. I am cloaked, nobody can find me unless I let them." The pride in his voice showing as he spoke about his best friends. It was then that Josie's death hit him, he let out a heavy, heart wrenching sobs as he fell to the floor. "It's okay Reggie," James's whisper to him. "I have got you. I am here."
Regulus buried his head into James's neck and grabbed onto him as if he were going to disappear. "She's dead. She is gone. Josie, she is gone." he kept repeating.
"Prongs!" he vaguely heard his brother yell.
"We can't get to you!" Remus let out.
"Reggie, darling. I need to breathe for me," James said, "your magic surrounding us, nobody can get near."
"Jamie, I cannot control it. "
"Regulus, look at me." James responded, tilting Regulus' head by his chin, "Open your eyes and look at me." Regulus looked straight at James' eyes. James took Regulus' hand and put it to his chest doing the same with his own, "Match your breathing to mine. I promise you, you will be okay, just breathe." Regulus copied James' breathing and his magic was back under control.
