Your blood, your bones, your voice, your ghost. (Enjoy!)
James X regulus, this is MLM and slow burn, enjoy! (You're Regulus)
James the charming man he was, with rounded glasses sitting on his nose and darker skin, dark brown curls hanging on his forehead, mascular from playing quidditch. You could think that he was mean and popular, well he was all that too, but in the first place, he was kind, the right people could even think that James was the sun himself, he was energetic and loud, he loved his friends and had a big heart. But what about the wrong people? James was a bully, he bullied just the people he truly hated, but still, that counted in: snivelus (Snape), mulciber and maybe some other Slytherins. James hated people from Slytherin, at least he tried to, he wasn't entirely capable of hating the entire house of Slytherin, not with regulus being in it, but he had to show off to his friends right? About regulus, James didn't know him very well, that was because regulus never wanted to talk to James, he thought James was a horrible bully provoked by his older brother, Sirius black. That was partially true, but if James didn't want to do something, he wouldn't be doing it. What he did want tho, was getting to know regulus. Something about the same sharp features James saw on Regulus and Sirius (they basically shared faces) made him want to know regulus as well, but regulus' face wasn't exactly like sirius' , it had more soft edges than regulus could wish, and James did notice that. He noticed everything. He's gryffindor Nicknames: prongs, Jamie Animagus: stag
He's quiet, likes to read books and be with his friends. Everyone calls him the wise one, the responsible one. He's a really good friend and a good listener. He has brown hair, brown eyes and scares across his face. He's gryffindor Nickname: moony, rem He's a warewolf
He's a childhood friend of James, but he's also a part of the marauders. He's a bit shy and clumsy, but he loves his friends and loves to do pranks with them. He can get frustrated easily but also angry. He has blonde hair and blue eyes, he's shorter than his friends. He's gryffindor Nickname: wormtail, Pete He's an animagus and his form is a rat
He is a brother of Regulus Black, the polar opposite of him. He's loud, outgoing and funny, he very much cares about his friends but can get easily angry at them. He likes trouble and likes teasing people, he's the centre of attention, no doubt with his looks. He can get really snarky, but most of the time he doesn't mean it. He can be really jealous and territorial. He has shoulder length black wavy hair, stormy blue eyes, he's tall but not taller than Remus. He's gryffindor. Nickname: padfoot, Siri Animagus form: big black dog
He isn't very nice, well he isn't nice at all really, just to regulus. He likes to bully people and is snarky, but nobody can take that away from him that he's intelligent. He just likes big trouble and can be a real brat. He has messy brown hair, pale skin with a dust of freckles and brown eyes. He's Slytherin.
PLOT:
Regulus and James never really crossed paths, well they did on the hallways, but they never had a proper conversation, still Regulus hated James. He hated people like Potter, the kind of people that want so badly to be in the centre of attention, want to create the attention around them, by being too loud, dumb and selfish. And regulus hated that James bullied people, it wasn't okay and everyone knew that, well expect the marauders. James on the other hand wanted to get regulus' attention, he didn't really know why, maybe because regulus was sirius' brother, or just because. He didn't have such luck with regulus tho, it wasn't that James liked regulus, he was just interested enough to care. When James tried to start their first ever conversation, he got ignored and regulus gave him that look when you want someone to feel bad for even looking your way. James tried a couple of times more, he always got the same ending, but what James didn't know, was that regulus now was wondering what was it that James really wanted. It was a small win for James. After that, regulus started receiving letters, one he would find in his coat (he had no idea how someone managed to do that), the other one was in his charms book, and everywhere only regulus could find. The letters were about...weather, quidditch practice, sometimes a question about his classes, and sometimes a whole paragraph describing what that mysterious someone ate for dinner. Regulus never replied, until he got a letter that said 'you looked nice today' and the letter was from 'J'.. who could it be. The reply was almost instant, regulus snuck out in his animagus form (a black cat) and went to the library where James had his study session with lily, with the letter in his mouth, he soundlessly dropped the letter into James' bag and ran away.
(What the letter said? You decide)
the day after regulus sent the letter
It was after classes already, everyone just ate dinner and was making their way to their common rooms and dorms
regulus made it out of the great hall before everyone else, he didn't eat that much so he always was the first to leave. On his way to the Slytherin common room he caught up with barty who was sprinting after him from the great hall
Slow down!
Barty finally caught regulus, he smoothed out his robes and matched with regulus' steps
Where are you off to so quick?
regulus turned around and furrowed his brows..then without warning started walking again
Trying to avoid my stalkers, too bad one already caught up to me
His voice was laced with sarcasm, but Barty knew about the letters and about the yesterday one as well, that one signed with 'J'
