Imagine Pandora seeing a vision about the future chosen one. She describes him. And Regulus instantly knows who he's the son of
He doesn't know how he knows, but he just does. He can feel it
This is what pushes him harder to try and get that horcrux. James' son will not be made into a soldier, not on his watch
He has the answer, he knows the way to defeat voldemort and save his loved ones...and save his future loved ones. He can save them all
He tried so hard
And nobody ever knew

“Moons, I have an important question.”
Remus looked up from his book, only half paying attention. Because, since getting together a month ago, Sirius asked ‘important questions’ a lot. Some of them included, but were certainly not limited to:
Of course, Remus answered yes to all of these, because he’d known Sirius for almost five years, so he knew how to placate him.
So he expected this question to be the same.
“Would you still love me if I dressed like a girl sometimes?”
But now, Remus gave his boyfriend his full attention, because the question seemed to hold more weight.
“Of course I would, baby,” he replied earnestly, looking over and meeting Sirius’s eyes. “Do you…really think I wouldn’t?”
“Dunno,” Sirius mumbled, playing with a loose thread in his blanket. “You don’t think it’s weird?”
Remus chuckled and moved to sit next to him, grabbing his hand. “I think you’re weird. But however you want to dress, I’ll always think you’re stunning. And I’ll never stop loving you. I promise.”
Gray, tear-filled eyes finally met his own, and Remus momentarily was breathless. “I’m still a boy,” Sirius murmured.
“Even if you weren’t,” Remus swore, “I love you for you.”
At this, Sirius smiled a bit. “What if I were a snail?”
Remus froze and let out a long-suffering sigh, then grabbed a nearby pillow and hit Sirius over the head with it.
Jokes aside, “would you love me if I was never born” is quite heartbreaking

The first time Evan saw Barty fight, he realized two things:
One, Barty fought like he had nothing to lose.
Two, Evan was utterly, irrevocably in love with him.
It wasn't a duel. Duels were proper, structured things with rules and etiquette. What Barty did wasn't a duel—it was carnage. His wand moved in sharp, unpredictable bursts, hexes spilling from his lips with something close to glee. There was a wildness in his eyes, something untamed and electric, something that sent a shiver down Evan's spine.
"I believe the gloves are coming off," Barty had murmured before stepping forward, rolling his shoulders like he was shaking off invisible chains. Evan had watched, spellbound, as Barty took on three men at once, moving like a storm. He didn’t fight for survival—he fought for the thrill of it, for the sheer joy of destruction.
It should have terrified Evan.
Instead, he found himself gripping the edge of the table, pulse pounding in time with Barty’s footfalls.
When it was over, when the dust settled and their enemies lay broken at Barty's feet, Evan finally moved. He crossed the bloodstained floor, stepping around bodies with practiced ease, and stopped just in front of him. Barty was breathing hard, eyes bright, blood spattered against his jaw.
"You're staring, Rosier," Barty drawled, his voice still thick with adrenaline.
Evan lifted a hand, traced a slow line along the smear of blood on Barty's face with his gloved fingers. "I believe you like it when I stare."
Barty's grin was sharp, feral. "Oh, I do." He leaned in, breath hot against Evan's lips. "Tell me, did I impress you?"
Evan hummed, peeling off one glove and tossing it aside carelessly. "You always do."
He cupped Barty’s face, fingers pressing into warm, bloodied skin, and kissed him. It was not gentle. It was not sweet. It was teeth and fire, hands fisting in fabric, bodies pressed so close it hurt.
The gloves were off, after all.
Okay 6th year gryffindors learning the patronus charm and James is one of the first to get it (after Lily and Sirius, remus found an excuse to sit it out bc he didn't want to risk the class seeing a wolf and putting things together). They've already done the theory so they know the whole 'reflective of your soul' or 'changes to represent a loved one, especially if they are your happiest memory' and when they eventually manage corporeal patronuses, James' happens to be a lion.
A big, prowling, majestic lion. Most of the room are impressed and a little jealous but not too shocked by it, they automatically assume that it's the animal which most resembles him because...gryffindor lion. It doesn't get much more James potter than that. But his group are very confused. Patronuses were supposed to match animagi and they'd already managed that one, so they had silently accepted that it would be a stag. So when it isn't, they have to hide their shock. They sort of brush it off after a while because James is similar to a lion so maybe it's just something to do with strength in the memory he chose?
But James knew the second the lion looked at him that it wasn't his animal. He would always be a stag, he knew that much for sure. This was Regulus. Cor Leonis. The lion, brave, strong, and powerful but cowering behind the powerful women in his life and 'lazily' biding his time until he has no choice but to do something. More importantly, James loved him, and nobody was supposed to know. His patronus has shifted from a stag- prideful and representative of James as an individual- to a lion- a symbol of his love, power and courage. And he is the only one that knows.
Regulus, lost in thought: Remus, what is Sirius to you?
*Dorcas introducing Marlene to the Skittles for the first time*
Dorcas: “This is Regulus. Yes, he does bite. Do not mention James or Sirius around him.”
Dorcas: “This is Evan-and-Barty. Do Not separate them unless you are prepared to face the consequences.”
Dorcas: “And this is Pandora. She can see the future sometimes and has predicted horrible deaths for all of us, but we don’t like to worry about that.”
Dorcas: “What do you think, babe?” :3
Marlene: “… I think I’ve just unknowingly started dating a cult member”
