Thinking about Harry being multilingual and not realizing he's switching between multiple languages when he's a toddler so it's like all the adults trying to work together to put together the puzzle that makes up his all of his sentences of French from Reg and Sirius, English from everyone, Punjabi from Effie and James, Urdu from Monty and James, and a little bit of Welsh from Remus

Eventually they all accidentally become multilingual thanks to Harry

Noooo omg what if Lily is fluent in all of them so they just like send her voice recordings of Harry speaking when she's not there like "please help us our love our light our lily love 😭😭"

[stargazingtranquility]

Harry knows a lot of languages, in theory, but he’s only fluent in English like;

He can completely understands Punjabi because that’s the Potters’ native language but he can’t quite grasp speaking it. He picks up French terms of endearments/cuss words from Regulus and Sirius. He knows welsh cuss words as well as philosophical translations because of Remus. He can playfully imitate Italian pick up lines because of Barty. He knows to hide when he hears Swahili because Dorcas only reverts back to it when she’s completely pissed at someone. But everyone around him speaks English the majority of the time, so that’s what he speaks.

Then he gets to Hogwarts and meets Draco Malfoy who can hold a conversation in just about any language someone speaks to him in and fuck, Harry never thought that French was romantic. He’s never seen Punjabi as alluring before. He didn’t consider Italian as attractive.

He spends the summer begging members of his family to teach him more of their languages so he can go back and prove to Draco that he is stupid in more than one language.

im back w/ my "brazilian james potter calling french regulus black amor non-stop" agenda

james would call him like that privately until one day he let that slip when they were chatting with everyone in the potter's house garden, no one really fussed about it besides regulus whose cheeks were so red that james could not help himself and peppered him w sweet kisses and giggles

[franklysirius]

James doing his French homework: and what emotion is that?

Sirius: that’s ennui

James:en-what?

Regulus in a thick French accent: *sight*Ennui, it’s what you would call the boredom.

James: Enweuur? Am I saying it right ? Enwer ?

Sirius:no..

James: oh! okay nickname it is then, I’m gonna call it Ouioui!

Regulus: Non.

[marauders-bs]

regulus who only speaks french around james (who hated it– he only wanted to know what he was saying), james who begged the god he didn't believe in to hear regulus’s lilting french accent one more time

[drowninkystar]

Regulus with a french accent and James with a spanish accent having words they can't pronounce right

Sirius: wait so you left Regulus with Lily?

James: yeah why?

Sirius: you don’t see the problem?

James: she said she would take care of him

[with Lily and Regulus in muggle london]

Lily: Please, Reg, the microwave isn’t trying to attack you

Regulus: Then why was it beeping at me?

Lily: Beacause the food is done!

Regulus: oh! So you’re in on the conspiracy are you? I’m not eating your poisoned food!

Lily: it’s not! Well - okay microwaves may add some radiation to your food but not enough to kill you

Regulus: I knew it!

hc that peter knows a bunch of languages bc he already grew up knowing 3 languages (both of this parents know languages other than English) and he picks up languages really easily, so a bunch of his friends will all be speaking in theyre first languages and Peter will just casually respond in the same language and they'll js have to do a double take for a moment

how do we feel about half French half Thai Evan, his skin brown and his hair blond/white.

Barty had always known a lot of languages (smart mf) but made a bet with Reg he would never learn French. He's on the Italian team.

So when he meets Evan the only way to go is learn Thai (not even Evan is fluent in it btw).

The next time they meet he asks him to help him do a stick n poke on himself. it's a sentence (and a song).

Jamie

James sat on the Gryffindor common room couch twirling his wand, trying to get Regulus’ attention. Regulus, reading a book, did not look up.

James turned to Lily, who was sitting next to him.

“Reggie’s ignoring me again” he whined.

“He’s just reading, love. You’ve been with him all morning”, she replied.

James rolled his eyes and threw himself into the couch. Regulus continued to read, as he was very invested in his French copy of The Lady of the Camellias. He had to focus a bit harder to read the French so he blocked everything else out.

After what James would describe as forever, Regulus spoke up—not looking away from his book.

“Jamie?”

James froze. No one’s ever called him that before.

He thought about how it made him feel. He liked it. He couldn’t understand why, but he felt comfortable in it. Just as comfortable as when someone called him James. He twisted in his seat and felt his cheeks start to blush.

He internally panicked, but responded naturally.

“Yes?”

“Tu es belle ma chérie”

James’ face now fell to a full blush. He looked lovingly at Regulus.

“I don’t know what you just said but I love you too.”

Jegulus with baby Harry:

Regulus to a baby Harry Potter staring up at him with wonder in his big gray eyes like his: Poor little boy. You were not what was desired, but you are no less dear to me.

Harry cutely yawns. Regulus smiles at the baby.

Regulus gently takes the baby's tiny hand: To everyone else you are the boy who lived, but to me Harry James Potter, you shall be mine. (Baby Harry falls a sleep, and Regulus kisses the baby softly on his forehead, right on his lighting bolt scar) I'll burn down the whole world to keep you safe "mon petit".

Spring Break (1/1) (jegulus)

"James I don't want to be baby about this but I really do not want to go France this spring," Regulus said looking up from his laptop where he had been planning out their yearly trip.

"What? You love going to France!" James replied a bit shocked. The first few years were nice but James really had to be dragged the last few years. It was a lovely vacation but it usually brought up a lot of things for Regulus and not that James' minded, it's just he wished Regulus would pick anywhere else for their vacation so he might actually enjoy himself and relax. The fact that he didn't want to go felt to James like something was wrong.

Regulus sighed in response. "I just don't want to be miserable the whole time," he explained. James wasn't going to say it but wow the insight and awareness of that comment blew him away.

James smiled fondly. "Well love where would you like to go?" He asked.

After a long pause, James watching the cogs spinning in Regulus brain, the courage building in his breath, Regulus tipped his head to the side: "Do you want to go home?"

James' eyes went wide and a happiness he didn't know he was lacking bloomed in his chest. He couldn't contain the way the thought of going to India warmed him from head to toe. They used to go every fall, but since James' parents died they hadn't been.

"Could we?" Is all James can respond.

"Of course darling," Regulus said reaching his hand across the table, an invitation for James to grab it.

"Do you want to go for longer than just our normal one week?" Regulus adds as James squeezes his hand. He looks like he is going to cry with joy.

"Did you read my diary or something? How did you know I missed home so much?" James said getting up to move around the table to kiss Regulus.

"Maybe I missed it too," Regulus said allowing himself to be pulled into James' arms.

"I'm going to call my auntie!" James said as he pulled away. He very nearly skipped out of the kitchen and Regulus couldn't be happier about this change of plans.
