snippet saturday
I was tagged by @theresthesnitch and what the heck, I can be bullied! (Sometimes.) Here’s a thing I’ve been trying to finish for ages:
Sirius remembers.
He remembers a frigid December night when Kreacher had appeared in his flat with an unconscious and soaking Regulus in his arms, half-frozen and half-dead. He remembers all the animosity and the hatred falling away in an instant at the sight of his baby brother dying on his floor. He remembers calling for Remus while wrestling Reg’s dead weight into a warm bath, and they had spent the better part of the night casting healing spells and forcing potions down Regulus’s throat, sheltering a known Death Eater in the safety of their flat without a second thought.
He remembers Regulus waking up the next morning, looking not at all surprised to be in his brother’s bed.
“I destroyed a Horcrux,” he’d said without preamble. “Also, I’m pregnant.”
Then, he had leaned over the side of the bed and thrown up on the floor.

13-year-old Sirius: You know what, I think it's time we started swearing. When we go downstairs for breakfast, I'll swear first and then you.
12-year-old Regulus: Okay.
[downstairs]
Walburga: What do you want for breakfast?
Sirius: I'll have Cocoa Puffs, bitch.
Walburga: Go to your room!
Walburga, to Regulus: And what do you want?
Regulus: Dunno but it won't be fucking Cocoa Puffs.

Growing up I always hoped I’d be as cheerful as James, as smart as Remus and as confident as Sirius.
I ended up with the mental health of Regulus Black.

*James, bringing Regulus home to meet his parents*
Regulus, seeing Monty and realizing James will always be hot no matter his age: thank the lord
Effie, seeing the same look she had when she met Monty’s parents for the first time: amen

James: Do you really hate Sirius?
Regulus: Yes.
James: So you're telling me you wouldn't save his life? What if he needed a kidney?
Regulus: James, he's my brother. Of course I'd give him my kidney. Just not my respect.

James: How did you get your brother to co-operate with you?
Sirius: I threatened to reveal his dark secret.
James: Which is what?
Sirius: I have no idea, I was bluffing, but it must be something horrible.
James *nervous sweating*:
