One evening in the Great Hall, Regulus was waiting for the perfect opportunity to hatch his plan. What was his plan you may ask? The amount of muggle borns being bullied was ridiculous! So he was going to put a stop to it, well he was going to try at least. So when McGonagall said her usual Dumbledore would like to say some words, Regulus got up and he got on the stage thingy where the teachers. were.

"Screw Dumbledore, we need to talk about bullying!" With that all eyes were on Regulus. "Does anyone ever think about how much it affects muggle borns!? I think it's so stupid, that people think it's ok just to pick on people. So I'm putting a stop to it! If anybody is being bullied tell a trusted adult." "That's it Mr Black you are coming to my office NOW!" Professor McGonagall shouted. "This it Regulus Arcturus Black signing off live long and prosper." He said before being dragged out of the Great Hall.

He ended up with a week off detention but it was so worth it.

A week later...
"Woah! How did you do that!?" Atlas said in amazement. "It's simple, I just mixed a couple of spells." Regulus said. "Hey can you do my homework for me?" A 2nd year said. "How much are you paying?" Austin said, looking at the 2nd year who was in Hufflepuff. "How about 1 galleon?" Austin said. "Sold." The 2nd year said.  "Fine by me." Regulus said, as he did the spell. At that they started a business, it took awhile for Regulus's three friends to learn the spell, but over time they got it.

Every Wednesday and Thursdays people would lineup to get their homework done automatically. One day in particular was the worst tho. "Hello little brother, would you be such a sweet heart and do mine and my boyfriends homework for free." Marvella said. "No way you have to pay like other people." Regulus said. "Your going to regret that!" She said in her Spanish accent.

With that Regulus was left in a corner in pain, he felt like he was going to cry. His step sisters boyfriend had used the Crucio cursed on him. How did he even know how to do that? Regulus couldn't tell anyone about this. He just wanted to see James and cuddle him, because that made him feel better.

When he got back to his friends, they knew something was wrong. "Reg what's wrong?" Micheal said. "Nothing." He lied, as his body hurt him awfully.

Back at the common room...
"Hi Reggie!" James said happy to see Regulus, Regulus sat next to him on the sofa. "Hi." He said weakly, while putting his head on James shoulder and closing his eyes. "You ok?" James said, to the younger boy. "Yeah I'm just very tired." He said. "Let's go to bed them." James said. "James?" "Yeah?" "Can I sleep with you tonight?" Regulus said. "Yeah of course." James said with a smile.

James had no idea about what had happened to Regulus, he had decided not to tell James because he would tell the teachers. Regulus didn't want to be called a snitch.

When they got to James dorm, Regulus flopped down on the bed. "Reg I'll be a second, I'm going to get changed." James said, before going in the bathroom to change. "Ok." Regulus said, his whole body hurt terribly, he just wanted the pain to stop.

When Regulus went to sit up on the bed, his back got a shooting pain through it. Regulus cried out in pain, damn it why did it hurt so much!? "Regulus? Are you ok!?" James said in a worried tone, as he came out the bathroom. "My back is a bit sore of quidditch." He lied. "How about we get some sleep, it will do good for your back." James said, before he climbed in the bed next to Regulus. James wrapped his arms around Regulus, and pulling him close to him. Regulus cuddled closer to James chest, he then closed his eyes. "Night Reggie, I love you." James said, "Night I love you too." Regulus said before drifting off to sleep.

The next day at the Great Hall...
Everybody was talking about, joining the Order after they left school, Regulus had zoned out so he wasn't paying any attention. "Regulus are you excited to join the Order with us after Hogwarts?" Sirius asked him, "Yeah I can't wait!" He lied, the truth was that he wanted to be an actor on Star Trek, or just be an ordinary guy who worked in a comic book shop.

Later on when Regulus and his three friends were walking down the hallway together, Marvella and her boyfriend came up to them. "Regulus I'm so annoyed with you, you don't deserve happiness!" She screamed at him, her boyfriend used a spell that made him fly head first into a wall. "Guys go get a teacher, or someone!" Regulus screamed, on the verge of passing out, his three friends ran to get somebody.

Regulus didn't remember much after that except, being thrown into the lake. "Both of you stop now, you little bitches." A familiar voice screamed at the teenagers, wait it was Remus. Marvella and her boyfriend got scared and ran off. "Come on we need to get you to the hospital wing, your bleeding." Remus said, in a scared tone.

At the Hospital Wing...
"Madam Pomfrey we're losing him, please help!" Remus shouted, while Regulus held on to Remus's grip barely conscious. Regulus passed out, right there.

The next day...
Regulus opened his eyes carefully, his whole head hurt horribly! "Regulus!" His older brother and boyfriend shouted when they saw him wake up. "What happened?" He managed to say. "Our stupid step sister happened!" Sirius said irritated at the word step sister. "Before you sit up take it easy ok?" James said, with worried eyes. "Why?" Regulus questioned. "Your forehead got cut open, pretty bad." Remus said, while James went over to Regulus to give him a hug. Regulus felt his forehead and he did indeed have a bandage on it.

Madam Pomfrey let him go, as long as he stayed in bed for the day to rest. "Come on Reggie I'll take you to your dorm." James said putting a arm around Regulus for support.

"Can you stay?" Regulus asked James, James shook his head, "Sorry Reg I have school, but I promise I'll stay with you for the rest of the day when school ends." James said. "Ok I'll just watch tv instead." Regulus said. "I don't think so, Madam Pomfrey clearly said to get some sleep." James said. "Ok." With that Regulus lay down and closed his eyes, James kissed him on the head before leaving.

Soon as James left, he sat up again, he was going to watch tv regardless. He got out of bed and pushed the tv over to his bed, so he could see it. It was the first time he would get to use it, since Evan and Barty used it most of the time. He got a collection of Star Trek VHS tapes he had borrowed from Atlas. He inserted one in and began to watch it.

Regulus was surprised, that Captain Kirk was even a Captain even Spock was smarter than him. Spock was definitely his favourite character in Star Trek.

Around 6 hours later...
James came in to the room to find him watching tv. "I thought I said no, what is this your watching!?" "Chill it's just Star Trek." Regulus said, but James was having non of it, he grabbed the tv controls and turned it off. "Your not watching that Star, what ever it is called ever again. Your to young for that stuff, your only 15!" James said to Regulus. The Star Trek episode was Arena, and Captain Kirk was fighting the Gorn. "That's not fair!? Your 17! Come on James your being unfair." "Regulus I have made up my mind and that's final. Oh and this comic book is going in the bin." James said before walking out of the room to put it in the bin.

At that moment Regulus had never felt more angry! He got dressed, and grabbed the remaining comic books in his bed side draw. He then ran over to his friends dorm, and knocked.

"Come in." He heard Micheal say, Regulus quickly ran inside out of breath. "Regulus! We were all so worried about, what happened to your forehead?" His three friends questioned. "No time for that can I hide my comics here?" "Of course." Atlas said. "Why do you need to hide them tho?" Austin questioned. "James said I couldn't watch Star Trek, or read it anymore." Regulus said. "So he threw one of my comics away!" "Wait here." Austin said, 5 minutes later he was back with Regulus's comics in hand. "You can keep them here as long as you want." Austin said.
