-ON HIATUS- The Stages Before a Lovers Quarrel ~ A Jegulily and Wolfstar Fanfic

#18

Regulus made his way up the stairs to the Fat Lady portrait and sat against the wall, hoping that someone would walk out and be able to help him. It felt like hours before Regulus heard the painting shift behind him.

"So Remus, why are we going to the kitchen agai- wooaah!" Sirius tripped on Regulus' legs.

Remus laughed at him. "Because Sirius, I want chocolate, and we're bringing poor Peter back some cheese after you nearly pushed him off of his broom this afternoon."

"I already told you it was an accident! Hi Reggie." He pat Regulus on the head. "How nice of you to trip me over," he joked.

"It's Regulus," he mumbled, shoving his brothers hand away. "I need to talk to you."

"Okay... Rem, I'll meet you down at the kitchen, yeah?"

Remus saluted and left.
Regulus shifted on his feet, wondering what he should tell his brother.

"Come on, out with it. You're killing me with the suspense."

"Sirius, Bella needs our help." He said, glancing around nervously.

"Oh yeah? And how are a couple of little kids gonna help her?" Sirius' mood suddenly shifted; he put up his defences, Regulus understood.

"Over the Summer holidays, Bella said the Dark Lord is going to give Cissa the mark. Bella wants to stop it and for us to take the blame."

"Then we've got some planning to do. Don't we?" Sirius whispered and walked off to find the kicthen where Remus was talking to a house elf whilst waiting for him.

"Sirius! Remus! You're back!" James exclaimed. "I just heard what happened. How did you manage to convince Peter to fly with you? I've been asking him for weeks!" He complained.

"I don't know James, maybe I'm not the most competitive flyer in all of England."

Remus walked past the two of them, heading upstairs to check on Peter in the dorms.

"This." He tossed the cheese on Peters bed, "is from Sirius. But currently, he's arguing with James, so I took it upon myself to deliver it to you." He smiled.

"Thanks, Remus!"

"No problem, Pete!"

The walls shook, and the sound of crashing wood rang throughout Gryffindor Tower. Sirius and James tumbled through the door, gripping each others shoulders and pulling on each others hair. James pulled Sirius to the ground, and they went tumbling to oppsite sides of the room.

"Tell me your secrets."

"No. Especially not after you destroyed my long, lustrous hair." Sirius cried.

"Lustrous?" James asked, Peter and Remus shrugged at him.

"You uneducated peasants." They giggled.

"How may we serve you, our Knowledgable Prince." Remus exaggerated

The four of them heard pounding on the door. "Keep it down in there. Some of us are actually trying to pass exams."

James swung the door open. "You're welcome to join us if you wish, Evans." He turned and winked at her jokingly.

"Well, at least you aren't calling me that nerdy nickname from last year. How do you fraternise with these people, Remus?" She asked, exasperated.

"Because he's one of us, Evans." Sirius shook Remus shoulders as he walked out the door, flicking Lily's hair as he floated by, heading down to the Common room. She scoffed at his behaviour, stomping down the stairs after him and joining her friends at the table near the bookshelf. The one by the window.

James reached the bottom of the stairs. He stared lovingly at the wispy, red hair that never seemed to fail at catching his attention. 'Oh Evans,' he thought,'So serious about that studying of yours.' He stepped over the threshold and sat by Sirius, who chucked a deck of muggle playing cards at him. "Go Basilisk?"

"It's Go Fish. You do know what a fish is, don't you?"
