   Summary

   I want to preface this by saying I do NOT support JK Rowling. This is a Marauders fic first and a Harry Potter fic second.

   (Formerly called Boys Don't Cry)

   Regulus' POV throughout years 5 and 6 at Hogwarts. It will deal with a lot of friendship drama between Regulus, Pandora, Barty, Evan and Dorcas at the beginning, but I promise there is Jegulus eventually. Regulus is also written intentionally to be kind of unlikable and biased. Regulus' views and opinions do not reflect my own. Some of these relationships might not end well, so you have been warned.

   I haven't used any warnings because it's still ongoing, but I have a Content Warning list at the beginning for every chapter.

   I plan to update this once a week, but no promises! I work on this in my free time. I'm not a very experienced writer and I'm very insecure about it. Please be nice to me as I am very fragile lol

   Anyway, this is my contribution to the Jegulus fandom. I officially have Marauders brainrot and can't get these losers out of my head. So enjoy!
