"I'm just saying, if I was you I would not care so much. Your literally rich!" Barty argued, looking around the table trying to get someone else to agree with him.
Regulus rolled his eyes. "Your rich too. And, you know how my parents are about grades."
"I only try hard to prove my dad wrong and you know-"
"REGGIE!!!" A small voice - a child's voice? - cut of barty and before Regulus could even register what was happening, a small child was climbing onto the bench beside him.
"Reggie!" The kid jumped onto regulus lap and hugged him. Regulus looked down into the familiar eyes.
"James!?" James. His James. James Potter. But...five. he was five years old. No. That's not right. His James, his Jamie, he was seventeen. This James was small and he had chubby legs and his checks were rounds and he was 12 years younger than he should be.
"Regulus what the fuck?" Evan looked between his friend, the toddler and the rest of the Slytherin table, who were all looking at the pair.
"I...I umm" Regulus picked up his boyfriend... oh no that's weird. And ran out of the hall, through the corridors and to the slytherin common room. He muttered the password and slipped inside, ignoring the weird looks he got from the few people who weren't at lunch in the common room and went straight upstairs.
"It's scawy in 'ere." James mumbled when Regulus sat him down on the bed, looking around the room.
Regulus stopped pacing and crouched down infront of the boy, giving him a gentle smile. "I know, baby but I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise." And that seemed to calm him a bit.
Regulus climbed onto the bed and crossed his legs, James climbed and sat between them, giggling when regulus played with his curls.
"Jamie? What happened?" Regulus asked, James turned round in his lap so he was looking up at him with those big brown eyes.
"Potion went boom!" He exclaimed, giggling and throwing his arms in the air, almost hotting regulus and he couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, the dorm door flew open and Barty, Evan, Pandora and Dorcas all stepped in, stopping at the door and watching the interaction.
"So it's true then? Potters a toddler." Dorcas laughed. She hadn't been at lunch she's been 'studying'. She walked over and sat on the bed, ruffling James curls which made him stick his tongue out at her. "He's still at the same maturity level then."
James eyebrows furrowed. "What that mean?"
They laughed.
"Hopefully it won't last long." Pandora commented, resting her head on regulus shoulder.
"How the fuck did that happen?"
"Potion went boom apparently." Regulus shrugged.
I've been thinking about this alot recently so here's how I think the aftermath of 'The Prank' went.
Remus didn't speak to anyone for a few weeks and didn't leave his bed.
The first person he spoke to was lily. She knew he was a werewolf but hadn't told him she knew and he worked out she knew but they didn't talk about it.
For months afterwards he wouldn't let the boys join him on full Moons.
He never spoke back about Snape again until he called lily a mudblood.
He was the first to forgive Sirius, though it was months after.
Peter didn't talk to sirius at all and always checked on Remus.
He brought Remus chocolate and treats all the time.
He made sure to take notes for Remus in classes he missed and help him with the homework.
James had multiple arguments with Sirius.
He was the last to forgive him.
He would blow up if sirius said a single word in the dorm.
He did whatever Remus asked him to.
There's was a whole argument on the train on the way back to hogwarts after the summer where sirius tried to come sit in the compartment (while no one was talking to him) and James throw him out and gave him a black eye.
The biggest, and one of the only two, arguments James and Sirius ever had.
Sirius tried for the first few weeks to apologise but Mary told him to leave them and they'd come around.
He would leave chocolate and books on remus' trunk for him but they just kept piling up because Remus ignored them.
He spent most of his time alone in the astronomy tower, avoiding the dorm, and often bumped into Regulus there.
He felt awful obviously and never fully forgave himself even when Remus did.
After Remus forgave him he spent months trying to make it upto him.
Every year on the anniversary, though he was the only one who remembered the date, he'd spoil Remus with gifts and love.
I have never related to a lyric more than I have to "your just a stranger I know everything about"
swifties who love taylor’s music but are also pro Palestinian and don’t mind “ruining” their Taylor aesthetic to post about Palestine which is more important >>>>>
swifties who support Palestine>>>> swifties who want peace >>>
The wise words Marlene once said to Remus while they smoked weed on the roof of Gryffindor Tower. It turned into a twenty minute heated, stoned conversation before Lily finally found them.
The maruaders are feminist. If they lived as teens rn, in 2022, they'd be obsessed with Taylor Swift and Girl in Red, they'd hate on Andrew Tate so much, they'd absolutely adore Alice Oseman (especially Remus, he'd have all her books), they'd argue with old math teachers who've lived decades longer than they should have and say awful shit to girls, they'd love Jenna Ortega and our feminist queen, Emma Watson.
It's so overhyped
The worst Wolfstar fanfic I’ve ever read ?
Oh definitely Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
