#6 Secrets Be Told

Description: James is a dumbass and loses his diary, Regulus can't sleep and secrets are not so hidden. This is supposed to be wholesome with a lil something at the end

James ran around the dorm frantically throwing draws and cupboards open. He ran his hand through his hair and started to shake, this could not be happening. James had lost his diary.

It was a Saturday and Regulus had no plans so he had decided to sleep in, he looked over at his alarm clock and rolled back over, he wasn't ready to wake up. Regulus tossed his head back and forth, grunting as he could not get comfortable, his neck was hurting like there was something underneath him, he lifted the pillow and there sat a red and gold book.

James ran downstairs into the common room and looked around the fireplace and bookshelves, maybe for some reason he had left it downstairs, even though he'd never told anyone about it. James wasn't worried about the fact he had a diary, he knew a lot of other students who had diaries/journals that they'd write in, Hogwarts was indeed a very interesting and eventful school after all. No James was worried about what would happen if the wrong person read his diary. James had a mixture of things written in there, he would write about his shower thoughts, he often planned quidditch ideas in there, random notes he'd need for class, general opinions on other students and teachers as well as a certain love interest.

Regulus picked up the book and examined the cover, it didn't have anyone's initials on it but it was quite an eccentric cover. He was by himself so he opened the book and flipped through the pages, there wasn't anything overly exciting in there but whoever's book it was seemed to share quite a few similarities to himself, this person was also a quidditch player and class planner, perhaps a prefect? and seemed to have the need to write everything in class down so they didn't forget. Regulus continued to flick through the pages wondering if he could find out more about this person, he noticed a photo fall out from one of the pages, it was a picture of the Gryffindor quidditch team. Regulus flicked to the page where the photo had fallen out and there in front of him was a sketch of himself, seemingly reading in the Gryffindor common room, he recognized the pattern on the arm chair. He shut the book, put it in his bag and got dressed, the Gryffindor team was out training so he would have time to search around.

James meanwhile was on the verge of having a heart attack, he had checked everywhere and couldn't find it, his mind started racing through the worst possible scenarios when he looked over at his clock and realized what time it was, quidditch training was about to start and he obviously couldn't not show up. He'd have to continue searching later, he grabbed his gear from out under his bed and ran down the stairs, not watching where he was going.

Regulus walked about the Gryffindor staircase when he heard a loud panting noise, he was going to end it if he was about to walk past two students shagging on the stairs. He rounded the corner and was flung back, a red robe covering his face,

"What the fuck? Watch where you're going!"

"I am so sorry- Regulus?"

Regulus paused, chucking the cloak of his face and looking up to see James Potter.

"Potter? What do you think you're doing?" James started rambling and Regulus rolled his eyes, he was tired and didn't have time for James' antics.

"James just go to practice or whatever, you're going to be late" and with that Regulus continued about the stairwell leaving James standing by himself. He quickly gathered his things and continued to run praying he wasn't late.

Regulus reached the tower's portrait, the fat lady was stacking glasses and getting ready to do... something? He decided not to question it and coughed to get her attention.
