remus: i wish i could trial dying.
sirius: ...
remus: like a 7 day free trial. cancelable at any point.
sirius: remus, are you okay..?
remus: harder than sleeping. softer than forever.
sirius: remus?!?
regulus: oh yeah. absolutely agree.
“what are you reading?”
“its a…online book.”
James: When Regulus is mad at me I tighten the lids on all our jars so he has to ask me for help
*sound of glass shattering in the other room*
James: It doesn’t always work though.
IT WAS NEVER ABOUT ACTING!!! NEIL WAS GAY- *gets shot 37 times by the nonbelievers*
Fleamont and Euphemia moved to the UK as adults, so James grew up speaking mostly Punjabi at home, his parents never being particularly confident in their English skills and being much more comfortable speaking in their mother tongue.
So whilst he is fluent in English, occasionally he will forget a word or phrase and he will say it in Punjabi first. This happens a lot in first year especially, and again at the beginning of each school year as he adjusts after a summer barely speaking English.
The other marauders find this hilarious so over time it becomes a game for them where James will act out the word charades style for everyone to try to guess.
When Regulus moves in with the Potters and joins the group, he initially doesn't want to join in the game but very quickly becomes unbeatable.
Everyone just assumes that it's just one of those things he's good at because he's weirdly clever so they don't question it too much.
Until one day James overhears Regulus talking to Fleamont in fluent Punjabi and he realises he learned a whole language, just so that his parents can have one more person in their home that they can speak to in their own language.
That is the day James Potter starts to fall in love with Regulus Black
oh god... the real world... bleh
and I'm forced to endure it for the next 6 hours straight?!

regulus, who doesn’t like to admit it, but loves pomegranate. it’s his favourite fruit, and he would die for it.
james, who has been following regulus’ name on the map for a few nights now, tracing the footsteps with his finger as he watches the younger boy.
regulus, who makes his way to the astronomy tower, same time tonight as always.
james, who decides to follow.
regulus, who doesn't notice james under his cloak, and instead pulls a pomegranate and a small bowl out from underneath his cloak.
james, who watches regulus carefully and painstakingly spend quarter of an hour pulling out all the seeds and putting them in a bowl, before eating them.
regulus and james, who (unbeknownst to regulus) follow the same routine for the next few nights.
regulus, who goes as usual to the tower, only to be met by a bowl of fresh pomegranate seeds, and looks around, but can’t see anyone.
james, who stays hidden under the cloak, hands stained red, as he watches regulus smile gently and sit down next to the bowl.
regulus, who begins to eat, and can’t help but notice the faint smell of james’ shampoo.
"Regulus Black but IF he had Sirius's music taste bla bla-" HE DOES. SIRIUS RAN AWAY AND LEFT ALL OF HIS VINYLS SO WHEN REGULUS MISSED HIM HE WOULD GO TO SIRIUS'S ROOM AND LISTEN TO ALL HIS MUSIC BECAUSE IT REMINDED HIM OF HIS BROTHER. but if you ask him, he will NEVER admit it out loud. thats the end if this ted talk, goodnight
