Not The End

They had a plan. Theyd spent days carefully constructing every detail. Everything had to work and everything would. The plan had no flaws.

Except for the fact that James wouldn't be able to help if anything went wrong.

He hadn't seen regulus in three weeks, he was due back today. If the plan had worked, regulus would be in his arms tonight. If he isn't then he's dead and James might be next.

"James? Mate? You alright?" Sirius called across the dinner table, snapping James from his thoughts. He looked up to find the entire table looking at him. His mum, dad, Sirius and Remus, Lily, Marlene and Peter. All the same look of curiosity and concern.

"I...umm- I'm not that hungry." James picked up his plate and took it to the kitchen, dropping it in the sink before climbing the stairs to his room. He opened the window, like he and Regulus had agreed and sat on the window seat, looking out into the dark winter night.

About twenty minutes later, Lily knocked on James' door and stepped inside, a hand resting ontop of her bump.

"Is he here yet?" She asked, sitting beside James and placing a hand on his knee. "He'll be here, Jamie. I can feel it."

James lay his head on his girlfriends shoulder and took her hand in his, leaving the other still on his thigh.

A black cat padded past the tree line and up the hill that led to Potter Manor. It was late now and the full house was in darkness except from the window that he had climbed through so many times as a teenager. As he got closer, he noticed two figures in the window. James and Lily. Cuddled up. Lily looked right at him and shook James awake.

They jumped up and both looked down at him with relief all over their faces as Regulus transformed.

"He's alive." Lily whispered just loud enough for regulus to hear and he began climbing the vines, the locket heavy around his neck, the loves of his life waiting for him.

I'm crying :((

dagger // @maraudersgirlsprompts // word count: 497

Bellatrix was given a dagger when she turned 11. It had some sort of special meaning. A ritual or something that Bella didn’t pay any mind to at the time.

It felt right in her hand, like it always belonged. The handle was engraved with stars, her star the biggest and boldest. She adored the dagger more than she cared to admit.

When Bellatrix was 13, Andromeda turned 11. Bella presented her sister with a dagger. The Andromeda Galaxy engraved on its handle. Bella isn’t quite sure whether Andy really liked the gift but her sister tucked it into her sleeve and smiled in thank you.

Narcissa turned 11 when Bellatrix was 14. Bella was a little nervous when presenting her gift to her youngest sister. Though when Narcissa accepted the dagger she was given, Bella need not have worried. Narcissus flowers were engraved in the handle and Narcissa swore, “now you will always be at my side.”

“Always,” Bella promised, a small smile on her lips that she usually felt the need to hide.

At 19, Bellatrix had a lot more responsibilities and duties then she did at 11. However she would never miss her cousin's birthday. Sirius turned 11 and Bellatrix was right there in the room. Despite the slightly jealousy she feels for Sirius, she presents him with a dagger. The Dog Star engraved on the handle with his star being the biggest and boldest.

Sirius grinned infamously and flipped the dagger around in his hands, testing it as he has always done. Once satisfied, he nods, running off to chase Regulus around the manor.

When Bella was 20, Evan was 11. It’s never been a secret that Evan is his favourite little cousin. He looks up to her with awe that is inspiring. Bellatrix takes Evan away from the celebrations and pulls out a dagger, the handle engraved with roses and thorns. There is a twinkle in Evan’s eyes when he sees it, an appreciation that makes Bella proud. Evan is the first to hug her in many years.

Regulus turns 11 a few months after Evan, and a month before she turns 21. She cannot help but have a soft spot for him, she certainly likes him more than Sirius, despite the fact that in comparison, she thinks Regulus has no spine. Not that it matters.

Regulus’ dagger is engraved with the lion stars, his star the biggest and boldest in the chest. Like Evan, Regulus treasured the gift, wielding it with a poise she was surprised to see. Mischief flickers over his face as he glances sideways at Sirius. Bellatrix laughs quietly and midges him, “go on,” she encourages and that’s all Regulus needs. Her youngest cousin takes off with his dagger ready to strike, running after Sirius who begins screaming and laughing all throughout the house.

Narcissa comes up to her side, her shoulder lightly bumping with her own, “you’re a wonderful cousin, Bella.”

Bella cannot help but smile softly.

I just found an lesbian artist who writes songs about girls but also how shit lesbians are treated by like people and the media?? And her songs are such a vibe and so relatable.

Her names Eva Westphal, my favourite song so far is Beautiful Little Life and Proud of Me

I need recs for good wlw fanfics in this fandom!! Please tell me ur favourites I don't care what character and I'll read smut fluff and angst

I strongly believe that Sirius didn't have perfect hair. Everyone's always talking about how sirius' hair was something he cared about so much and would never do anything to damage it.

NO! That man's dramatic af!

Small inconvenience? NEW HAIR CUT!!

Quidditch game tomorrow? Dying it red at 3am!

Pissed off at Walburger and Onion? He now has a mohawk because they'd hate it! (Idk how to spell it)

Stressed over exams? New hairstyle to match the his new stressed mood!

Sirius' hair is so damaged and has so many split ends. He has a different look every week because he had no freedom to do what he wanted with his appearance as a child. And, as I said, he's dramatic!

Darkness, Light and the Sun

Regulus was eleven years old the first time he met the man who would soon to be husband, James Potter, his brothers best friend. They met on the hogwarts express, sirius introduced them. It was incredibly innocent, just an older brother introducing his younger brother to his three best friends. Regulus wouldn't know it for another four years but that first time he looked at that boy, that perfect boy, with his tanned skin, his wide smile, his huge hazel eyes with those long thick eyelashes and those dimples, he fell in love.

Regulus black, the grumpy, closed off boy, fell in love with the James Potter, the boy who radiated joy.

Regulus was twelve years old when he met his wife for the first time, the girl who his boy loved. He knew of lily, the perfect muggle witch in the year above. He'd heard of her, everyone loved her, even the Proffesors who claimed she was "the smartest witch of her age". She was sweet, kind, smart, witty and strong. She was gorgeous too. With her freckles, and long straight red hair and eyes like emeralds. They were introduced by Snape, a boy regulus tolerated and Lily's best friend. For a while they were friends of a friend but over the years they grew closer. And regulus couldn't help but fall in love with Lily Evans. Who wouldn't fall in love with Lily Evans?

Regulus Black, the quiet and judgy boy, fell in love with the Lily Evans, the girl that radiated kindness.

Regulus Black was eleven the first time he fell in love and fifteen when he finally admitted it. He was sitxteen when he realised he wasn't jealous of lily because she had James, but he was jealous of them both because they had eachother and he had neither of them.

Regulus Black was eighteen when he finally realised he could have them both.

The grumpy, closed off, quiet and judgy boy was no longer that. He had found his joy and happiness in love.
