james: stop being so pissed; lets talk about this properly, baby black; since we share sirius
regulus, pissed: if you don't leave me alone, im going to tell sirius you hexed me
james: what??? i havent !!! ever!!!
regulus: sirius doesnt know that
james: ??? sirius knows i wouldnt!!! ur his brother! he's my best friend
james: he knows me! he knows i wouldnt
regulus: sure. maybe. but you think im gonna go to him without proof
james: you're gonna hex yourself?
regulus, scoffing: of course not
regulus: sirius hasnt seen me cry since i was 8; if i go to him, and cry, he wont think of the logics; he wont think 'oh would james do that?' 'is my little brother emotionally manipulating me?'; he'll just be pissed
james, weakly: what if i tell him you said this
regulus: what? you think he'll believe that id willingly embarrass myself by crying
regulus: i would crawl in and out of hell, just to make things uncomfortable and miserable for you
james: all i said was that holyhead harpies didn't have the best season this season
