barty and evan got a black cat after regulus died and named it 'leo' as in the leo constellation
Thinking about Regulus talking James's ear off about things he enjoys (but only in private cause he has a reputation to uphold) and James being silent only when he's with Regulus (he too has his reputation to uphold) and actually listening... Reggie is happy cause someone is listening to him for once in his life, and James is happy cause he doesn't have to be 'the happy person' for once.
regulus: UGHHHH your hair is such a mess, potter, it looks like 20 birds chose to make their nests there
james: i can cut it
regulus:...
regulus: over my dead and rotten body.
I needed to represent this moment because I think we don’t talk enough about how heartbreaking this night was for Lupin.
That night, the wounds of the war reopened. His world crumbled at his feet, and everything he believed to be true turned out to be a lie. For the first time in 12 years, he could see everything with clarity… and that clarity didn’t bring peace, only pain. He started thinking about how this would change his world entirely. He felt like *he* was the traitor—for not trusting his heart sooner.
For years, he lived with guilt, loss, and isolation, thinking he had already endured the worst. But learning the truth pulled the ground from under him. He didn’t just lose James, Lily, Peter and Sirius—he lost his trust in himself. And now, seeing it all clearly, he’s left with nothing but regret and the quiet ache of betrayal—toward his friends, and toward his own soul.
And this is all my heart and thoughts into this piece, love you 💗🫂 hope you like it ✨

peter: good night homos!!!
peter: *homies
peter: eh same thing
with wolfstar there is no "fell first" "fell harder" nonsense, they're both fucking idiots and they fell so much they crashed through three floors
padfoot grabbing cat regulus by the scruff of his neck and forcefully bringing him to the gryffindor dorm because he's been avoiding james after a fight
Effie Potter goes to Pride wearing 'Free Mom Hugs' shirts.
lily asks the "highly intelligent and mysterious dog of foresight" if there's a chance that James likes her (she's a bit oblivious) and it starts vigorously nodding its head (it's literally just Sirius) (#wingman)
I am a firm believer that regulus says ‘I love you’ first
He never really knew what love felt like, until one day he was with James and it hit him so suddenly that he just said it
