New chapter of 'A '70s Rhapsody' by somecluessidiot on AO3:

And Remus...

Remus was quite unlike anyone he'd ever known. That was the simplest way to put it. He was witty and clever and sarcastic and hilariously rude at times and arguably just as loyal as Peter. He did as he wanted, whether that was dedicating his time to his studies so that he could go off to university and probably become a corporate manager one day, or sneaking off to help James to pull an uproariously well thought-out (and sometimes cruel) prank. He was persistently chopping and changing, moody one moment and happy the next, never constant and never without a sharp comeback.

He was an ocean of stormy seas and calm waves, with the tiniest brush of wind bringing the storm again, disturbing the tranquility that was before. He reached out and pulled away like the tides, folding in on himself when it all became too much, then returning to his usual semi-extroverted nature. He was confusion personified, shifting so much that even Sirius's quick wit and sharp mind struggled to keep up. He was everything and nothing, everywhere and nowhere, all at once.

It was riveting just to be around him, to be swept up in his chaos, to be soothed by his organisation, to be insulted and complimented, to be the object of his jokes or the ones who prompted them. He was the sea, the sky, and the ground all at once, and Sirius wanted nothing more than pry open his mind and figure out what was going on in there. It had to be a lot, he assumed, because how could someone be so intelligent and ever have silence in their mind? How could someone transform so much so quickly without reason or means to do so? What could make a person so combustible, he wondered countless times?

It was fascinating. He was fascinating. Every little movement, every little trick that Remus did, hypnotised Sirius, because how could someone be so... Remus?

Update for 'A '70s Rhapsody' by somecluelessidiot on AO3:

I have about half of the next chapter written, and while I'd normally just finish it today, I'm quite ill at the moment.

Therefore, I'll be taking a hiatus this week to prioritise revision while I feel well enough to do something.

See you soon!

Chapter 6 of 'A '70s Rhapsody' by somecluelessidiot on AO3 is up now!

"No, but he's a proper git!" Bartemius Crouch Junior exclaimed with annoyance as he barged back into the dorm room, interrupting Regulus's peaceful reading session.

Evan Rosier followed him in, rolling his eyes. Rosier was French too, which was why he'd been given the task of helping Regulus get settled in on his first day. He was a strange one, undoubtedly, but Regulus was quite glad that Rosier had been the one selected to look out for him. He'd met a few other students who might have been chosen, and none of them seemed like particularly nice people. In fact, they reminded him of the horrid students back at Le Châtelier's.

Evan relaxed into an amused smile, crossing the room to get his books out of his trunk. "Yeah, well Snape's always been a bit of a git, Bee," he said. "I don't know why you let him wind you up so much."

"He just drives me up the wall," Barty sulked, falling gracelessly onto his bed in a lump. "The bloody pisshat."

Evan snorted. "'Pisshat'," he mused. "That's a new one."

"Only the best for you, Rosie," Barty smirked.

Evan rolled his eyes and glanced at Regulus. "How are you doing, Regulus? Everything sorted for Physics?"

Regulus nodded, peering over his book. "At least someone's somewhat sensible."

"Oui, malheureusement, Barty est un idiot. Ignorez-le," said Evan, slipping into French so that Barty wouldn't understand. [TRANSLATION: Yes, unfortunately, Bart is an idiot. Ignore him.]

Barty sat upright and frowned. "Oi! I know you're talking about me! I heard my name!"

Evan spared him a glance. "Good. I'd hate for you to miss out on this delightful conversation."

"Il n’est pas très intelligent, n’est-ce pas?" Regulus smirked. [TRANSLATION: He's not very clever, is he?]

Barty groaned. "I hate you both."

"Hurry up and get your books, Bee," Evan sighed. "We'll be late to class."

Regulus himself swung his legs off his bed and marked his page with a bookmark - he was not a heathen - then grabbed his bag and stood at the door to wait for them both.

When Barty didn't move, only letting out a childish groan, Evan dug through his trunk and picked up his physics book for him, then stuffed it in a rucksack, which was so empty that it sagged. Barty still didn't get up, so Evan grabbed him by the ankle and quite literally dragged him off the bed so that he hit the floor with a satisfying THWACK!

"OW!" Barty shouted, scrambling to his feet to lunge at Evan, who dashed out the door.

Regulus stepped into the corridor after both of them, watching as they threw each other into the wall, laughing. Well, he supposed these were his friends now. These idiots, who attacked each other in the hall, were now his idiots. What a strange concept.
