Let's rewind... It's 1976 and Regulus is returning for his fifth year at Hogwarts. With one of the worst summers of his life behind him, he's slightly glad to be back at the castle. Regulus is looking forward to a relaxing year spent focusing on his studies and lounging in the library. Only, Regulus' plans are derailed after runs into (quite literally) the one and only James Potter. It seems passing the year is the least of Regulus' problems- with the dark lord's influence growing into his inner circle, new blossoming feelings for his brother's best friend who he should hate, and a prank that goes too far. Regulus is in for a bumpy ride.

What if James and lily had a baby while they were in their sixth year but sadly lily passed away during birth now James a single father in his seventh year is starting to see a new side of his best friend's younger brother regulus..where will the story go?

Regulus is consumed by bitterness and pain after his brother Sirius ran away from home, and he blames James Potter for taking him away. Seeking revenge, he plots to take James away from Sirius. But what starts as a means of vengeance quickly turns into a tumultuous affair, and Regulus finds himself falling in love. Passion and desire turn into feelings and the wish to do and be better for James. But, as he navigates his complex feelings for James, a dark wizard rises to power, seeking to gain followers among the Hogwarts students. Trapped between duty and love, Regulus is forced to confront his fears, as he tries to protect those he cares about.

(front cover by @_oladka_art_ on ig) Regulus Black hates James Potter. He hates him because he's loud, obnoxious, stupid and worst of all a brother-stealer. But he also hates him because of the pretty hazel colour of his eyes and his light brown skin and his stupid freckles and the feel of his hands on his- wait what?! suddenly regulus is spending every waking moment thinking about James Potter and every possible moment staring at James Potter because he just can't seem to keep his eyes off the boy.... James Potter doesn't know Regulus Black but he knows this much: Regulus hates him. It's evident from the way Regulus glares at him every time they make eye contact across the great hall and in the corridors, yet James doesn't stop trying to talk to the boy and spend time with him. something about Regulus Black entices James. maybe it's the soft pale skin. or the beautiful raven dark curls. or the feel of his waist under his palms. or the light grey eyes that James can't stop losing himself in...
