Summary
"Regulus watched Sirius from across the Ravenclaw common room, a pastime so familiar it was almost instinct now.
He’d spent most of his life watching Sirius. Across rooms and gardens, dinner tables and dueling circles. Quidditch pitches. It’d started as hero worship. Then, it was looking at Sirius to know when, and how, to act. Looking for the soft hands that pressed plasters over scraped knees. Looking for the only semblance of warmth that had ever survived their home.
Sirius laughed. But it was too loud.
Regulus had learned long ago that Sirius only smiled like that when something inside had already broken."
or, Sirius comes back from summer wrong. Quieter in the ways that matter and louder everywhere else. The kind of wrong that makes Regulus start paying attention. The castle whispers about attempted murder in the Forbidden Forest. And Sirius seems determined to burn whatever bridges he has left. But when Barty offers to help Sirius forget his Gryffindor friends, Regulus makes one small mistake: he doesn’t ask the right questions. And some mistakes are impossible to take back.
PSA: Wolfstar IS endgame.
