Barty hasn't seen Evan all summer, and he missed him so much that he's starting to think he likes him as more than a friend. Regulus has finally left his family, and he's living with the Potters. As he got to know James over the summer, he realised the boy was not as he pictured him, and he might be starting to like him. Could Evan and James like them back? Or would they ruin their friendships if they confessed their feelings? Barty and Regulus' solution? Fake dating. Except nothing goes as planned.

The five Marauders have a group chat. This should be fun, right?

From the moment they step onto the Hogwarts Express, the Marauder's Fourth Year at Hogwarts is explosive. Laced with friendship, love, hate, and all the emotions in between, the mysterious, adventure filled year may be the one that changes everything - at least, that's the promise of the new divination teacher...

i'm gonna try to write a proper description. don't take this seriously at all really i wrote this for a laugh that's all (i was also 14 so i don't recommend this its kinda cringy) crackfic fr this is not a full on texting story, there's some real life action going on and also some texting in the middle of some chaps. :) in which regulus black has a crush on his brothers best friend and met a nice strange online who understands what he's feeling. what regulus didn't know though is that this stranger, is not a stranger at all. also cover by @-raslikeraspberry- <3

When Regulus is forced to tutor James in potions, he starts thinking James is not how he pictured him. When Evan starts drawing back from his friends, Barty realizes he misses him and that he doesn't see him as just a friend. Regulus' and Barty's solution? Fake dating. Chaos ensues.
