There is a visitor. A new beast in the Forest. It has four legs, like the centaurs, but it’s unlike anything Aragog has ever sensed. Cold, metallic, clanging. Few dare to venture deep enough into the Forest to reach Aragog’s lair, and those who do creep and hide, avoiding the Acromantula. The visitor makes no effort to be stealthy. It tramples through the undergrowth, loud and unapologetic. Foolhardy. Reckless. Intriguing.

Remus also didn’t know when he had started to ditch his friends with the excuse of studying in the library just to watch Regulus from afar, memorizing every habit and small quirk: how he wrinkled his nose at the sign of damaged books or the way he gave an almost imperceptible nod every time he found the information he was looking for; how he ran his fingers through his hair when he didn't understand something, a small crease between his eyebrows and just a hint of a pout on his lips; how he worried at his cuticles when he thought no one was watching just to put his hand back down when he realized what he was doing; how he wrote each letter as if it was a piece of art…

Sirius was currently in America, on a three month motorcycle road trip he had been planning in his head since he was 12. It had taken Harry the better part of a decade to convince him to go, that the world wouldn't fall apart just because his adoptive father was doing something for himself.

"Where to?"

Regulus paused, then sighed. "Groceries. All of them eat like pigs, and I'd loathe to serve up anything less than a perfect dinner."

James nodded, his eyes lowering to Lyall’s neck and then back up. “Yeah, Mr. Lupin. I want to help you.”

“How’s that?” Lyall couldn’t figure out how a young man like James Potter could help him grieve his wife. She’d been dying for years, he had known it was coming; he knew, and still it had caught him off guard.

“I want to fuck you,” James said.

Lyall spilled the whiskey across his lap and swore. He reached for his wand and cleaned himself up, placing the glass safely on one of Hope’s coasters. “Excuse me, I must have misheard—?”
