Prompt 15 - Camera
@jegulus-microfic September 15, Word count 243
“Why can’t I get one decent photo of Regulus?” Sirius grumbled as he looked through the photo albums he’d got out to put the new pictures that James had printed off for him in. James grinned down at the collection of Regulus photos where every single one had his face covered but either his hand, his phone or an object that was within grabbing distance. There was even one where he’d grabbed Remus as a shield. A surprised Remus, with a chocolate hobnob hanging out of his mouth, stared at the camera with only Regulus’s hand on his collar to show he was even in the picture.
Regulus walked into the kitchen yawning sleepily.
“Hey, Reg!” James beamed at him as he raised his phone and took a picture of the boy in the doorway. “Here you go, Padfoot,” He said, sending the image over to Sirius’s phone and then looking back at the rosy-cheeked Regulus. “Tea?” He asked simply and Regulus nodded. He got up and went over to the kettle while Regulus made himself comfortable at the table.
“Thanks, Prongs,” Sirius said as he opened the photo. “Wow, he’s smiling! How did you get him to smile?!” Sirius asked, zooming in on Regulus’s face. James shrugged as he placed fresh cups of tea in front of everyone at the table.
“Magic,” He chuckled, winking at Regulus as he took his seat and watching as pink crept up the other boy’s face.

What did you Expect? (1/1) (jegulus | wolfstar)
"You know your cousin's kid is a little brat," Regulus chided, waggling a finger at Sirius.
"Oh so now she's my cousin?" Sirius retorted, drawing out the 'my' and feigning a pearl clutch.
"Well technically she's always been your cousin," Regulus volleyed back matter-of-factly.
"She's your cousin too Reg, and in fact we only talk to her because of you," Sirius huffed.
"All I'm saying is he is a little shit." Regulus folded his arms as he spoke with a tone of finality.
"Darling, I don't know how to tell you this but umm what did you expect? First of all he's a Malfoy... second of all you know who his parents are, and honestly a kid named Draco has to be a bully otherwise he would get bullied." James placed a gentle hand on Regulus' shoulder as came to stand behind him.
Regulus fell into James' chest, and leaning his head back on James' shoulder he sighed: "well maybe he needs to be bullied," and a small glint appeared in his eyes.
"Reg, no. Come on Harry would be so upset."
Regulus quickly spun around to look at James. He pointed a finger at him, "oh fine but if it wasn't for him I would be bullying that twerp."
"Agreed" Sirius and James said in unison.
"What did he do?" Remus asked.
Sirius' mouth fell open in brief betrayal. "Moony come on. You can't seriously be trying to play devil's advocate. It's Lucius Malloy's boy! He's bound to be a dick," Sirius waved his arms dramatically as he spoke, but no one missed the upturn of his lips as he purposefully messed up the last name.
"I just want to know the story," Remus said waving Sirius off, who only rolled his eyes in response.
"You just want the gossip," Regulus corrected.
"Sue me," Remus said shrugging his shoulders.
"He bought his way onto the quidditch team and then called his daddy when Harry beat him anyway before breaking his arm..." James explained.
"HE BROKE HIS ARM?" Remus jumped up from his seat. He looked between the three others incredulously.
"Technically his house elf set a bludger after him," Regulus corrected.
"Here we go again, you and the elves..." Sirius threw his arms in the air and dropped them quickly by his side.
Regulus continued as if Sirius didn't exist: "If I thought he was smart enough to charm it himself, I would be pushing it harder, but that kid is as dumb as his hair is blonde. Harry is fine though, Madame Pomfrey is excellent as always." Regulus glossed over the insult and quickly a warm feeling fell over the group at the reminder of Madame Pomfrey's caring abilities.
After a moment Remus spoke. Breaking the silence: "It's a good thing he's got a crush on the Weasley girl,"
The others looked at him a bit quizzically.
"What? If he's anything like his fathers, we'll all be lucky if doesn't end up in love with the boy," And Remus burst into laughter. While Sirius' barks soon followed, James and Regulus shared worried looks.
