There Regulus was. A flawless artwork. Shining as bright as the stars above him. James couldn't move forward, no matter how much he wanted to. He didn't want to ruin the sombre yet peaceful state the young Slytherin was in, looking up at the different constellations James knew nothing about. He had never seen Regulus like this before - utterly relaxed whilst leaning against the ageing tree. It was the second time he had thought the boy simply.. human, and it jarred him. James didn't want to think of the curly-haired boy as anything else than a traitor to his brother. Anything else but a future death-eater. They were destined to be on different sides and thinking of Regulus as anything else almost felt like a betrayal. But it didn't stop him simply standing there, under the shadows of the night. Maybe James could have justified himself looking over to make sure Regulus wasn't doing any weird, death eater type shit. But James would be lying to himself. He simply wanted to watch the silent boy look at the stars.

But what happens when one of them finds out all is not what it seems? That he had been lied to all his life?
