start...
Regulus had never really liked concerts. The loud music and the heavy bass along with the irritating screaming of the crowd and the roaring applause afterwards always gave him a headache. But he still went to every single show the Marauders organised. He loved watching Sirius' face cheer up in the spotlights nearly as much as he hated the noise.
Tonight, the Marauders were performing in a fairly small pub called the Leaky Cauldron. The podium consisted of a raised bit of the floor with a few stairs to reach it from the side. It was about the height of the tables, which was perfect as the guests could sit, eat their food and whatever they wanted to do, and still enjoy the show in the meantime. The bar's walls weren't in the best condition, the texture of bricks breaking through the plaster and at some parts it was completely bare; but somehow it gave the place a vintage sort of vibe, which was only accompanied by the dark wooden tables and bar itself. There were shelfs littered with glass bottles containing different kinds of wine and beer. A small vial of pepper and salt stood on the side of the bar on a fresh napkin━a small detail that somehow gave the place a more lively look. Apart from the rustic chairs around the tables, there were high, round barstools with dark cushions for the guests who just came to drink. Regulus himself was seated on one of these stools, a glass containing a bitter kind of beer clutched in one hand, the other tapping on the bar itself.
Somewhere last year, Sirius' voice could be heard everywhere, back when the media first caught a whiff of their music. Their songs were streamed worldwide, fanaccounts were made and the Weekly Witch had hundreds of articles about the four boys━even Peter, the least popular among the group. Fangirls had popped up from out of nowhere, letting the fanfictions and edits loose and somehow inflating Sirius and James' egos even more than they already were.
Regulus inwardly smiled at the thought, the continous rambling from the two most popular members echoing somewhere in his head. His attention, however, wasn't directed at his own thoughts but the four boys now setting up their instruments and equipment. James' electric guitar━coloured a scarlet red with little crimson details━rested on a little stand to the side, several cords attached to it and intertwining, connecting the instrument to the speakers. James himself was helping Remus with his bass guitar a bit further away while Sirius checked the microphone and Peter was practising some song on the drums.
"Does it work, now?" James smooth voice broke through, his head tilted toward where the owner of the bar stood. His glasses had slid down his nose a little, and Regulus had the strange urge to fix it.
James' fingers slid over the bass guitar's strings, and a low, vibrating noise bounced off the walls. He grinned at Remus; a wide, ear-to-ear full teeth grin, made from a mixture of pride and amusement at the same time. He ruffled his chaotic hair, pushed his glasses back in place and stood up from his crouching position.
He was clearly about to walk somewhere else when his warm brown eyes met Regulus'. He cocked his head to the side, smiling that annoying smile that he had. The one where his dimples were extra obvious, where he scrunched his eyes closed and his glasses moved up a bit.
Regulus mentally shook his head. This was going to be a long evening.
