Chapter Text
He was 15. He was 15 and had to decide. Sirius or his parents? Honor and proud parents or a safe home and happiness. But he stayed. Stayed in a hell he couldn’t call a home anymore.
But first of all. Year five. Hogwarts. The only place he could call a home
„Goodbye Mother, Goodbye Father". They nodded and left.
He looked around. He saw dorcas and pandora two girls in fifth year. Barty, Rabastan and Evan fighting already (rabastan probably called them arrogant fags again).
And then there he was. Sirius, his big brother. Hugging Euphemia Potter. James mother.
James. That arrogant sucker. Always a grin on his face as if every human being would adore him unconditionally.
Regulus didn't. He could never fall in love with a boy. Or fall in love in general. Because he didn't think any girl could love him back. Him. Regulus black. The shy and though arrogant little Black boy. The little brother of Sirius. The big prankster of the school. But Regulus knew this year would be different. He didn't know how. But he knew.
Something would change.
As he entered the train he instantly regretted it. Sirius dragged him away from the Slytherins (as always) and pushed him next to remus.
„Ugh" regulus scoffed and rolled his eyes so hard he caught a glimpse of his brain, „Sirius you silly boy why would you push me, you're so meeeaaaan." Sirius looked horrified. „What the actual flipping fuck reggie bubu?!" he screamed.
The window shattered.
„Oh maaaaan, sirius duuuude, I told you not to shriek that high again, maaaaaan." Regulus whipped his head so hard he almost broke his neck.
He would recognize that sexy voice anywhere. James. That sexy sucker. Well regulus wished he would su-. Stop.
Sirius cackled like the fucking maniac he is. Remus was still asleep. How, regulus could only wonder. Maybe he was dead.
„Yo wassup lil black" James came towards him and looked him deep in the eyes and winked. Regulus almost lost it. He breathed heavy and tried not to moan. These eyes. These beautiful and sexy eyes.
„Stop the eye fuck with my brother you pervvvvv, talk to the people next to you maybe.” „but Siri dude there are no people" James was shocked. Did Sirius really see people who weren't there?
Then Sirius cackled again and hummed a strange melody. Regulus recognized the tune from somewhere but he couldn't pin exactly from where. Maybe something christmassy? something about a man undercover. God knows.
His train of thought was abruptly thrown of its tracks as the door of their train compartment was thrown open.
„Feareth not my wee peasants, thou savior hath arrivethd!"
Peter pettigrew.
Think of the most emo emo to ever emo and then double it and send it back to the Middle Ages. That's Peter pettigrew. A fucking genius if you ask regulus but when ever has someone asked him something the last time.
„Yo reggie boy, if thou were a little animal what animal wouldeth thou be?" Pete asked in a strange awkward bow towards regulus.
The boy in question was stunned with silence. The silence spread through the whole compartment and stretched for several horrifying minutes. Everybody starred at regulus. Regulus stared at Peter. Peter began to wobble in his weird bow stance.
„Where you silent or silenced." a deep voice asked into the silence. Everybody began to scream.
James next to Regulus fainted and fell onto his lap. Sirius and Peter tried to jump into each others arms at the same time. (And yes Regulus almost shat his pants. Almost.) Remus, who just awakened from his sleep looked in confusion around the room. Pete and Sirius were still laying in each others arms on the floor and cried. James still laid with his head on Regulus legs, Regulus thought he would die any minute now.
„Who dareth to speak such evil words inthou the silence!" Peter exclaimed form the floor still almost suffocating Sirius with his embrace.
„Me" remus said blankly. „You dumb pathetic bastards." Silence.
„Hot." That was Sirius. Everyone in the compartment nodded approvingly. Even James who was still unconscious.
As they left the train it started to rain. Peter stopped in his movement of tripping out of the train and just stood there. He hummed another melody now and simply stood in the rain. Regulus knew the song it was something about cutting life into pieces.
Sirius shrieked and some first years ran away. „Watcha doin there mate? What's the standin and blocking the way for?" Peter sighed „just enjoying the heavieth rain. And pondering about me little sad life." Remus rolled his eyes and pulled Peter away from the train before he could throw himself on the tracks out of a mood.
They passed some Slytherins that wanted to talk to reggie but Sirius screamed at them and they left without a word and pale faces.
„Watch it duuuude" exclaimed James as Sirius fell into a puddle (Remus smiled at Lily Evans. A friend of theirs with hair as red as her eyes ). Sirius screamed again. Probably because Lily smiled back at remus. Although regulus is pretty sure lily and remus are just really good friends, so no reason to be jealous?
But well, who knows, Sirius is as oblivious as everyone who was surprised that bruce Wayne turned out to be fucking batman because he took off his glasses.
Not that regulus is comparing Sirius with batman, heck no. maybe a very manic screaming sissy version of batman.
The manic batman in question finally stopped screaming as remus turned around and started barking at sirius. completly unbothered sirius looked back at remus, turned sideways to James who tried to make a knot with his tongue and decked him right in the face.
Peter started cackling so hard he fell onto the tracks for real this time. „NO, GOD NO. PLEASE, MY SAVIOURS SAVETH ME FROM THOSE DEADLY TRACKS! MY LONE SELF DOES NO WANTETH TO DIE A DEATH THIS GRUESOME."
No one really noticed him except for regulus but he couldn't be arsed to be his savior, he needed a savior if James kept looking that hot with blood running down his face. Lord have fucking mercy. „Maaaaaan, sirius duuuuude, i love you tooo, that was soooo sweet, dude." in James'eyes glistened happy tears.
Remus rolled his eyes so hard, regulus feared shortly they wouldn't come back round. same mate, regulus thought, same.
the way to Hogwarts went rather smoothly regulus believed, well except sirius and Peter played catch but did not decide who would catch who, so they ran the whole way to Hogwarts screaming thinking the other would catch them any minute. It was refreshing to see sirius run head first into a tree, too.
„Blimey that one came out of nowhere." Regulus thought that sirius must have been a blind mole to not see the biggest tree on their whole way.
But there were too many questions about the whole concept of sirius.
As they arrived in the great hall and split up regulus finally had time to say hello to Evan and Barty. They were dunking each others heads in the plates as if they were pretending to eat like muggles.
Their education on muggle behavior was definetly blown off their heads. Probably happened when they played Russian roulette with a nerf gun. ‘hm well maybe I'll eat alone by myself and goon over James massive ass two tables away’ he thought for himself.
Dumbledore stood up and started with an endless speech about new rules and proper behavior. James ass was definitely more captivating. Out of nowhere sirius on the Gryffindor table stood up and shrieked again. No reaction from the headmaster whatsoever. every teacher was used to it.
Poppy once recommended exorcism but she said that the christian methods weren't maybe the best ones. Regulus thought exorcism would be a pretty darn good idea but even that wouldn't work on sirius.
He tried. Multiple times.
Maybe that was the reason sirius was a bit funny in the head. Regulus calls bullshit, his brother was definitely born like that. Only a mother could love that personality, oh, wait-nevermind.
On the Gryffindor table - yes on because Peter apparently has decided it was a good idea to star fish across the full decked table - Peter begun to cry very loudly. Why? Regulus could only guess, although his thoughts got disrupted as something wet slapped across his face. Again. as he wiped the fish paste from his face, barty started cackling (scarily a bit like sirius) loudly and smeared mustard into Evans hair.
„FOODFIGHT!!!" Evan roared with wide crazy eyes, snot flew out of his nose, foam out of his mouth. Hell broke loose. Literal hell.
Everyone went wild. Bread soared, chicken wings flew, and somehow Evan brought his nerf gun and loaded it with peas. He then proceeded to run around the great hall and screamed: „TAKE THESE YER GLORIOUS BASTARDS. FEAST PEAS FOREVAAAA." Barty looked as if he was in heaven, he grabbed Avery (a complete arse from their class) and threw him onto the Gryffindor table.
James and sirius looked at each other then back onto to the expanding battlefield and started to scream. then they started to use ketchup to paint their faces. Peter started tap-dancing (still) on the table and played his lyre. He sung something about a last resort and suffocating someone?
Regulus was stunned. He then was overcome with a sudden motivation to join the war. Where from? He exactly knew.
„FOR JAMES' ASS!!" Regulus yelled as he jumped up on the table and grabbed the nearest potato and smashed it in dorcas face. She swallowed it whole.
The Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs were watching the scenario and probably regretted their choice to go to Hogwarts by now. Professor slughorn left the great hall probably because he didnt want to see the honour of his house breaking down. Professor McGonagall stood up and yelled over the hall that if they weren't sitting down by now they would all get expelled. Some stopped in the moment but others especially sirius, Evan and Barty continued with even more passion. Probably because their parents would hate them unconditionally if expelled or not.
Regulus sat down again and threw an apology over to dorcas. She smiled and nodded. She was half deaf (she liked explosions).
Dumbledore let out a gut wrenching scream and yelled over to the Slytherin table that if they wouldn't stop by now he would kill them all.
He wasn't joking. Dumbledore once threw a statue at mister filch because he interrupted him while he- well no one really knows what in the flipping hell dumbledore did.
The feast ended abruptly when peeves appeared and began to throw eggs on some first years who were definetly traumatized by their first hours in Hogwarts.
When regulus entered the common room he saw who he would share a dorm with. Evan, Barty and Severus Snape.
Great.
