Regulus and James have been dealing just fine. Sure, sometimes it was a bit hard to sneak around the castle. With James being Quidditch Captain of the Gryffindor team and planning all sorts of shenanigans with the rest of his dorm mates, on top of school, there really wasn't much free time that he had. Regulus couldn't say that he was better off though. The Slytherin's were pulling almost the same amount of quidditch practice and therefore they at least saw one another when the teams were switching the Quidditch pitch. Sometimes they 'forgot' something to steal away five minutes with their partner. However, Regulus felt like he spend more time in the library than his boyfriend did. He rarely saw James at all in there, to be honest. Remus was there though, and he kept on being pestered by plenty of students. Regulus didn't approach him though. Sometimes they nodded at one another. In the little bit of free time that James and Regulus had together, they tried to stay together with one another.

Now: Christmas.

Christmas would be amazing. There was no school, two weeks of pure bliss. Regulus would go straight to the Potter's. No, the Blacks did not know about that and especially not Sirius. Yes, he expected his parents to pay him a visit somewhere along the first week but he supposed that they would let him stay nevertheless.

Hopefully.

The train would arrive in King's Cross in ten minutes, so Regulus excused himself from Evan and Barty before he left the compartment. James was already waiting for him outside, hiding away in the corner and having that stupid soft smile on his face upon seeing him. Regulus walked over to him and snaked his arms around his neck in order to pull him closer to himself before kissing him softly.

"You know the way to my house?" James asked once he pulled away and Regulus nodded.

"Do you know when you will come?"

"It depends on when they're going to sleep. I'll be out as soon as the house is quiet and then maybe two more hours and I'm at your window"

"Okay, please be careful"

"You know me"

"That's what I'm worried about" James mumbled "Write me a letter once you go. I'll need a reason to go upstairs without Sirius becoming suspicious"

"He's too oblivious to notice it anyways" Regulus shrugged, giving him another kiss before pulling away from him "Okay, I have to go back"

"Me too" James said and so they parted ways again. Regulus slid back into the compartment, already grabbing his suitcase. He wanted to get out as soon as the train stopped. The sooner he was home, the sooner he could leave dinner and the sooner the house would quiet down and he was off to James.

Once the train station came into view, Regulus got up to pull on his coat. He said his quick goodbyes to Evan and Barty before walking out of the compartment and heading for the next exit. Walburga and Orion Black stood at the corner of the platform, clothes straight, heads high and face blank. Regulus subconsciously straightened up too before he hurried over to them.

"Good afternoon" He greeted as he approached them. His father nodded towards him and his mother reached out her arm, so that Regulus could hold onto her.

"Let's go home then"

Dinner dragged on forever. He didn't have one free moment until way past 10pm and even then, it felt like another eternity before the house went quiet.

Regulus quickly scribbled down the letter for James before sending it off per owl. He grabbed his backpack, which he had already packed back at Hogwarts and simply put at the bottom of his suitcase. He shouldered it before quietly heading downstairs. He tiptoed to the base of the stairs before peeking around to see the parlor. The lights were out and there were no other noises except his breathing. Everyone seemed asleep. He exhaled relieved and made his way over to the front door.
