Jegulus sketch

Sirius doesn’t feel sad, he just feels empty. His little star just burst.

"Regulus doesn't get embarrassed," Sirius argues, rolling his eyes as he sips his drink. "It's infuriating. As his sibling, it's my job to embarrass him, but he just gets all...huffy and disappointed."

"Well, you are rather disappointing, acting like an idiot," Regulus drawls from his spot on the other side of the loose circle of friends, sending Sirius a smirk.

"But it's inhuman! I mean, I've tried everything! Embarrassing childhood stories, yelling at you in front of a crowd, sex jokes, everything!" Sirius whines, leaning into Remus's side dramatically.

"It's true," Barty nods emphatically. "I don't think I've ever once seen him blush. Even that time I gave him a lap dance during breakfast! It's like he's made of stone or something." He grins for a moment, "Or maybe he liked it."

"I certainly didn't like that," Regulus snorts. "I just didn't care. You were the one being obnoxious, not me. I'm not going to be embarrassed by your antics, that's your job."

But James decides he needs to set the record straight. Because Regulus certainly does blush. "I'm sorry, but Regulus blushes all the time!" he says loudly, grinning at bit as everyone looks at him.

"James," Regulus hisses, immediately frowning, looking like he wants to kill him. "No, I do not."

Sirius, however, is grinning from ear to ear. "Oh? What gets Ickle Reggie to blush, then?"

And, spurred on by the challenge, James crawls slowly over to Regulus, who is giving him a death glare, and leans to whisper in his ear, making sure to speak so quietly nobody can hear him.

"Hi, baby," he murmurs lowly, allowing his breath to tickle Regulus's skin. "You look gorgeous today."

The effect of the pet name is instantaneous. Immediately, Regulus turns bright red and lets out a little noise, stammering as he looks down to the floor. James laughs as he pulls back, grinning triumphantly, and Sirius yells out, "What did you say to him?"

But he'll never tell. "Nothing," James grins, already heading back to where he was sitting, enjoying the fact that he's the only one that can make Regulus Black blush.

Yule Ball, 1994

"Can we talk?"

[wisteria-lodge]

Why did Harry use only Expelliarmus on Voldemort but Sectumsempra on Draco? Also, if Expelliarmus was Harry's go to spell why use Sectumsempra when he could use it against Draco's Crucio?

Harry fights Draco really differently than he fights everyone else.

So okay. Normally when he fights, Harry's go-to spells are:

Impedimenta (slow down)

Petrificus Totalus (paralyze)

Stupefy (knock out)

Expelliarmus (disarm)

Which means his strategy is get away from/incapacitate his opponent as quickly as possible and that's IT. Harry is not a flashy or creative fighter the way Dumbledore, Voldemort, and heck even side characters like Percy are. Which makes perfect sense. Fighting has never been a game for Harry. It's never been abstract. He'll do all these badass things but when he talks about fighting (like we see during the DA segments) he's not thinking about it like it's something interesting or cool. He's picturing going up against a more powerful opponent, probably while injured and scared. And what's the best thing to have in that situation? Four useful, all-purpose spells that you've practiced enough times that you don't have to think about them anymore.

Zachariah Smith gives Harry a hard time for relying on a spell as "basic" as expelliarmus, which tells us that in-universe, Harry's stripped-down dueling style might be considered kind of plain or boring. But Harry's a very effective duelist, probably because he is so practical. He doesn't care about showing off, looking powerful, or intimidating his opponents.

... except when he's fighting specifically Draco.

When he's fighting DRACO MALFOY, Harry brings out the fun spells:

Rictusempra (tickling)

Furnunculus (boils)

Leg-Locker jinx

Levicorpus (levitate by ankle)

Toenail-growing hex

And also Sectumsempra, which he THINKS is going to be another embarrassing/fun spell, because levicorpus and the toenail-growing hex also came out of the Half-Blood Prince's textbook, and Harry thinks this third spell is going to be another one like that.

So my conclusion is that Harry just kind of... uniquely enjoys fighting with Draco. He's not trying to end the encounter as fast as possible, there probably is some element where he wants to show off, hit Draco with something new or something clever. Harry and Draco have a dynamic where it's *fun* to one-up/get the upper hand over each other, and duels are perfect for that.

To me this is a very natural extension of Harry's "lets plot hypothetical ways to get Malfoy expelled" (which he does with Ron, for fun) and "lets try to figure out what Suspicious Thing Malfoy is up to now" (one of Harry's very favorite pastimes.) So long story short - when Harry fights Draco, he fights like a teenager. When he fights anyone else, he fights like an auror.

Remus would have been the gentlest dad :( He would have read his favourite books aloud and sung Kooks by David Bowie until his baby fell asleep. If he had not died for him, he would have loved him with all his heart.

"Reg," Barty whined, slamming his books down on his bed. "Please kill me."

"Gladly," Regulus mumbled, not looking up from his sketch. "I don't even need a reason, just hand me the knife."

"Oh, a knife. Kinky," Barty replied, grinning and bounding into Regulus's bed. "Don't you want to hear why I need to be murdered?"

"Not partic-"

"Rosier. Our Evan Rosier. My Rosie. Pierced his ear," he sighed, sprawling over Regulus's legs, ignoring the other boy's hiss of complaint. "I never knew how much I liked piercings, Reg. Not until now."

"You have a million piercings, Barty. Of course you like them," Regulus muttered, sending him a death glare.

"Right, I like them," Barty nodded reasonably. "But now...I like them," he said, grinning and waggling his eyebrows at Regulus, who scoffed. "What do you suppose will happen if I just....bite his ear? Is that something friends do, d'you reckon? That's okay, right? Just a little bite, maybe I'll suck on it for a-"

"I'm going to the library. Don't follow me or I'll hex you," Regulus interrupted, shoving Barty off and striding toward the door.

And Barty just stayed there, laying on Regulus's bed, staring at the ceiling and imagining that tiny piercing, mouth watering.

"Padfoot, what the fuck is this?" James asked, sighing as he entered the empty classroom he'd been led to by a cryptic noted signed with a pawprint.

"This, my dear Prongs, is the most important class I shall ever teach!" Sirius announced from the front of the room.

"The only class he'll ever teach," Peter murmured from one of the desks, where he had his feet kicked up.

"Save all questions until the end, please!" Sirius said dramatically, waving his hands all around.

James took a breath, staring at the chalkboard. There, scribbled in Sirius's handwriting, were two titles: Things regarding dating Reggie that James may discuss and Things regarding dating Reggie that James may never, ever, EVER talk about again EVER.

"So we're here to talk about prank ideas then?" he quipped, sliding into a seat and grinning.

Remus, who was sitting at the teacher's desk, chuckled. Sirius, however, looked scandalized. "Mister Potter, don't make me take points from Gryffindor!" he admonished.

"Yes, Professor Black," James smirked.

"Now Class," Sirius said, giving James a stern look. "This is very important. Because some of you seem to be under the impression that since I have accepted this new relationship, you can talk about whatever you want, so-"

"But I already have some questions. Under the things James can talk about side, you have 'hand holding.' What if the hands are holding other body parts besides hands? Because I've found that Regulus is very good at using his hands to-" James started in, a shit-eating grin on his face.

"Absolutely not!" Sirius yelled, grabbing a piece of chalk and circling 'hand holding,' drawing an arrow to move it to the other side.

"What about 'Reggie's arse?'" James continued, causing both Remus and Peter to let out shocked laughs. "It's not on either list. Can I...?"

"No!" Sirius grimaced, adding it to the appropriate side.

Then, Remus spoke, grinning from ear to ear. "Can I talk about Regulus's arse? It is rather ni-"

And Sirius banged his head against the chalkboard, whimpering to himself. "I hate you all," he muttered.

So hear me out: I've never read HP, never got into HP fanfiction, never thought I'd get into HP fanfiction, but I was watching Prisoner of Askaban yesterday for the millionth time (as you do) and someone lets out this VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL that SIRIOUS AND JAMES (and Peter, I suppose ;[ ) literally turned and unofficially became Animagus JUST TO SUPPORT AND BE OUT WITH AND TAKE CARE OF REMUS DURING THE FULL MOON EVERY MONTH. AND TO TOP THAT INCREDIBLY HEARTWARMING & SELFLESS ACT, THEY MADE A LITERAL MAP TO KEEP TRACK OF REMUS AND EVERYBODY ELSE SO THEY COULD HELP HIM IF HE GOT INTO TROUBLE!

How did I not know this??? For decades??? 😱If this is not true friendship and love I don't know what is.

Addendum: This might just have finally gotten me into the Harry Potter fandom. Funny how it wasn't Drarry that did it, but Wolfstar

Sirius Black: So now that we know Remus Lupin is actually Werewolf McWerewolf we gotta do something totally awesome to help him out once a month while he’s ReMSing

James Potter: I completely agree.

Sirius Black: We should be animals

James Potter: I wanna be a dragon

Sirius Black: I wanna be an Acromantula

James: I wanna be a boggart and take the form of my enemies greatest fear

Sirius: I wanna be a freaking hippogriff and fly around majestic as fuck

*research*

James: This looks really hard

Sirius: Yeah this is gonna take forever

James: Or, hear me out, you could probably be a dog. Sirius Black. Black Dog. Get it?

Sirius: Yeah, you can be a deer or something

James: Why a deer?

Sirius: Why NOT a deer?

James: Fuck yeah.

*Marauder high-five*

Peter: What about me guys

James: I dunno

Sirius: Be something that will somehow overwhelmingly represent the person you become in ten years due to some divine form of foreshadowing

Peter: Rat it is?

James: Rat it is.
