“James, stop messing around. We need to get everyone together,” Regulus chastised his boyfriend, who was still being attacked by a bat-bogey as he desperately clung to the wooden beam above them. Regulus pointed his wand at James, and to his credit, James didn’t flinch, just tried to hold still while Regulus cancelled the hex and lowered him to the ground. 

“Hi, love,” James beamed at him, leaning in for a kiss. Regulus allowed him that. He always had time for a kiss from James. 

“What’s going on, baby brother?” Sirius asked, cancelling the few spells still bouncing around the room. Regulus noticed he didn’t cancel the bouncing charm on the sofa, though.

The Gryffindors, still in the common room, watched them suspiciously. When the marauders suddenly stopped messing around and began whispering together, it usually wasn’t a good thing for anyone in their vicinity.

They don't make them like you anymore, that's for sure And when they made you They made sure they threw away the mould It comes as no surprise to me That I wanna be in your vicinity

If I stand close to you, I'm not sure if I'm really there With my feet on the ground but my head's lost in the air Oh, how I wish you could see That I'd love to be in your vicinity

Where would I go, what would I do If you should run from me? How does it show when you're to lose Will you explain to me? There's something growing There's something showing There's something won't let me be
