REGULUS ARCTURUS BLACK

*ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚

The last couple months had been some of the happiest Regulus had experienced.

Him and his dorm mates were now close with the marauders, and they were all one big friend group. He had to admit, the marauders really weren't as bad as he initially thought.

Kian and Remus got along well together. Hez loved to talk to Mary and Peter . Aidan thought Marlene was the coolest person on the entire fucking planet. As for Regulus, he mostly just talked to Sirius and, surprisingly, Lily.

James tented to follow him around too against his will.

All of them besides the girls were hanging out in the marauders dorm now.

Sirius was sitting on his bed talking to Remus and very clearly trying to get homework answers out of the scarred boy. James was sitting on the floor next to the bed tossing his golden snitch in the air which was annoying Peter who was sitting on his bed trying to take a nap.

Aidan was laying in the middle of the floor talking to Kian, who was sitting next to him, about some muggle thing Regulus had never heard of.

Hezekiah and him were sitting on James's empty bed doing their homework and occasionally chatting with each other.

The individual groups all sort of ignored each other until Sirius announced something to them all, "Hello, my fellow marauders and honorary marauders," he announced dramatically. "I have an idea I would like to propose."

"We are all ears, Pads," James said with an eager grin.

James chucked a pillow at Peter to wake him up, and the other boy seemed to give up on his nap. Peter turned his attention to Sirius.

"I have decided it is time to pull the biggest prank Hogwarts has ever seen. It needs to be better than any of the pranks we all have ever done," Sirius announced.

A smirk appeared on Aidan's face, "I like your thinking, Black."

"It also sounds like a good idea on how to get us weeks on weeks of detention," Regulus pointed out, not totally convinced this was a good plan.

Sirius ignored him, per usual. "So it's settled then, we are doing this."

"We didn't even vote on it!" He instantly protested.

"No one gives a shit about voting, Reg. We are doing this whether you like it or not," Sirius argued.

He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"Then what prank should we pull then since this is the best idea of the century or something?" He asked, his voice dripping in sarcasm.

"We should do something with fire!" James suggested excitedly.

Aidan and Sirius gestured towards him in very clear agreement. The rest of them all shared an are they fucking stupid look.

"Yeah, I vote for not committing arson on the school," Remus said.

"I didn't say we had to commit arson with it!" James defended.

Regulus shot him an incredulous look before speaking, "Potter, what else are you going to do with fucking fire in a prank."

"I don't know! Not commit arson with it!"

"How about we use the opposite," Hez suggested. He elaborated when he saw their confused looks. "Water."
