The library at Grimmauld Place was unusually lively that afternoon. Remus, Sirius, Y/N, and Regulus had gathered there, each engrossed in their own activities. Y/N was deep in conversation with Remus about a book they both were reading, while Sirius and Regulus were speaking quietly in a corner.
Regulus, unaware that Y/N spoke French fluently, had fallen into the habit of speaking to Sirius in French whenever he wanted to discuss something private. He often rambled about his girlfriend, Y/N, thinking she couldn't understand him. Today was no exception.
"Je suis tellement amoureux d'elle, Sirius," Regulus said, his voice soft and full of affection. "Elle est intelligente, gentille, et si belle. Chaque fois que je la vois, mon cœur bat plus vite." (I am so in love with her, Sirius. She is smart, kind, and so beautiful. Every time I see her, my heart beats faster.)
Sirius grinned, leaning back in his chair. "C'est adorable, Regulus. Tu as de la chance de l'avoir." (That's adorable, Regulus. You're lucky to have her.)
Regulus nodded, a dreamy look in his eyes. "Oui, je sais. Parfois, je me demande comment j'ai pu être aussi chanceux. Elle est tout pour moi." (Yes, I know. Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky. She means everything to me.)
Meanwhile, Y/N was discussing the themes of the book with Remus, but her attention was divided. She couldn't help but overhear Regulus's heartfelt words, her cheeks flushing with warmth. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, feeling a surge of affection for her boyfriend.
Remus noticed her distraction and smiled knowingly. "Enjoying the conversation, are we?" he asked quietly.
Y/N gave him a sheepish grin. "I didn't realize Regulus felt so strongly. It's sweet."
Remus chuckled. "He's a good guy. And I think he’s head over heels for you."
As they continued to talk about the book, Sirius leaned closer to Regulus, lowering his voice. "Puisque nous parlons d'amour, j'ai quelque chose à te dire aussi." (Since we're talking about love, I have something to tell you too.)
Regulus raised an eyebrow, curious. "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" (What is it?)
Sirius took a deep breath, his usual bravado slipping just a little. "J'aime Remus. Vraiment, profondément. Je ne sais pas comment lui dire sans gâcher notre amitié." (I love Remus. Truly, deeply. I don't know how to tell him without ruining our friendship.)
Regulus looked genuinely surprised. "Vraiment? Sirius, je pense que tu devrais lui dire. Il pourrait ressentir la même chose." (Really? Sirius, I think you should tell him. He might feel the same way.)
Sirius sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Peut-être. Mais c'est effrayant de penser à ce que je pourrais perdre." (Maybe. But it's scary to think about what I could lose.)
Y/N, now fully aware of both conversations, decided it was time to intervene. She gently excused herself from Remus and walked over to the brothers. She gave Regulus a loving smile before turning to Sirius.
"Sirius," she said softly, switching to French. "Tu devrais parler à Remus. Il t'aime aussi, tu sais." (You should talk to Remus. He loves you too, you know.)
Sirius's eyes widened in shock. "Tu parles français? Depuis quand?" (You speak French? Since when?)
Y/N smiled, a hint of mischief in her eyes. "Depuis toujours. Je n'ai jamais eu l'occasion de te le dire." (Since always. I just never had the chance to tell you.)
Regulus looked at her in awe, clearly taken aback. "Tu m'as entendu parler de toi?" (You heard me talking about you?)
Y/N nodded, her cheeks flushing. "Oui, et c'était adorable. Je t'aime aussi, Regulus." (Yes, and it was adorable. I love you too, Regulus.)
Regulus pulled her into a tight embrace, his heart swelling with joy. "Je suis tellement heureux que tu comprennes. Tu es incroyable." (I'm so happy you understand. You’re amazing.)
Sirius, still processing the revelation, looked at Y/N with a mixture of gratitude and embarrassment. "Merci, Y/N. Je vais parler à Remus." (Thank you, Y/N. I'll talk to Remus.)
With a supportive smile, Y/N nodded. "Bonne chance, Sirius." (Good luck, Sirius.)
As Sirius gathered his courage and approached Remus, Y/N and Regulus shared a tender moment, their bond even stronger now that Regulus knew she understood his heartfelt words. That day, the library at Grimmauld Place became the backdrop for two love stories, each one filled with hope, honesty, and a touch of magic.
