1st year:-
James looks at Regulus and with a blinding smile places his hand forward for a handshake, "hello Reggie! I'm James"
Regulus only looks at James with thinly veiled disgust and says "don't call me that" and walks away.
2nd year:-
James, sweaty and tired from the quidditch practice sees Regulus enter the field and yells, "hey Reggie!"
Regulus glares and says "don't call me that" and walks away.
3rd year:-
On his way to class he bumps into Regulus. He pushes his glasses up and his eyes light up to see it's Regulus, "Reggie-"
Regulus harshly moves past James bumping his shoulder into his and walking away he says "don't call me that"
4th year:-
James finds Regulus behind an aclove reading and plops down. "Hey Reggie"
Regulus looks up and then back down at his book "go away potter"
James smiles and doesn't move.
5th year:-
Walking away in a hurry from Potions class James bumps into Regulus
"hey watch where you- Potter what's wrong"
James silently walks away with his head hung and palms sweaty.
6th year (September):-
"hey" Regulus says with a smile when James finds him yet again at the astronomy tower and sits down with him.
"Reggie" James says warmly and rests his head on top of his head, inhaling Reggie's sweet smell.
6th year (January):-
"hey Reggie" James says with a bright smile that vanishes as soon as he sees Regulus' trembling figure approach.
His reggie looks at him with dead eyes and promptly breaks down in front of him.
James holds him as Regulus' body racks with sobs.
Regulus looks up and shows his left hand. There it was. The dark foul magic that made his Reggie look like a ghost, a shell of himself.
"Reggie-" James starts with pleading eyes,
"no, please, don't call me that" Regulus says softly and then walks away.
James breaks down crying.
Sometime during 1979:-
Lily comes up to James and hugs him tightly.
James tenses up. "Wh- what's wrong Lily"
"Regulus"
One word. One name. And all of James world comes crashing down.
nonononononononononononononononono
His light, his star, his Reggie, gone
James doesn't speak for an entire month.
