clairvoyant meetings | jegulus

A/N: i know the prank part is very rushed, & badly written, but i didn't make this chapter for the prank itself, i made it to write the outcome. so if you didn't like that part, i understand why. and i know a lot of things i wrote don't make sense, and wouldn't actually work in the harry potter world, but please, for the plot, bear with me.

severus sits next to regulus at dinner, leaving everyone around them frowning, it was odd for him to sit next to regulus.

"i need to speak to you about your brother, regulus." severus says quietly, reaching for a fork.

regulus turns his head to the side, he knew this would happen, he knew sirius would do something reckless.

"what is it?" he says, playing with his food, moving his fork around.

"we should meet at the lake again."

regulus nods, "we can go now," he lost his appetite, sometimes he feels like he lost everything, "i'm not going go eat more."

severus stands up, walking out of the great hall, regulus following him.

regulus leans against the same tree, standing lazily, his hands in his pockets, "what did my brother do this time?"

"he told me something very strange."

regulus frowned, "what is it?"

"i can't explain-- he looked very mad. he wants me to go some weird place, i'll see something that can give me an opportunity to destroy them all, or that's what he says." severus says, very clearly in distress, throwing the rocks in the lake.

regulus' frown deepens, "them all as in who?"

"him, potter, pettigrew, and lupin. you know, their shitty group. he said lupin would get it the worst, but he never even explained what will happen."

lupin.

full moon.

regulus' mind stops when he realises. that's that what sirius meant by saying he'll take care of it. that idiotic bastard.

"did he tell you why?"

"he said he wanted to get back at them, apparently they got into some type of fight."

idiot.

"you shouldn't go, severus. don't let your curiosity make you do something you'll regret." regulus says, looking at him worriedly.

"it's not like i have a choice. he said that he'll ruin my life if i don't go." severus says quietly.

his stupid, stupid brother. would he feel happy if he got the boy killed? would he feel happy when remus is expelled? would he be satisfied when they're all lying on the ground, bleeding out, with lupin in azkaban? would he be satisfied if he lost all his friends?

"but my curiosity is definitely killing me." severus says, chuckling lowly, his chuckles come out empty.

regulus doesn't find it amusing, he doesn't laugh, he doesn't chuckle. he doesn't find it funny at all that his brother wants to kill his friend. he doesn't find it funny that his brother might lose his life. he doesn't find it funny that his brother just made the stupidest decision of his life.
