Tw- Murder (but Like, In A Fun Way)

Regulus’ first crush was Newt Scamander. He would always reread fantastic beasts just so he could get to the picture of him at the end. He didn’t really understand why he would start to blush if he looked too long. His dreams were filled with curly golden hair, high cheek bones, and a tiny smile that he wouldn’t mind kissing.

His passion for magical creatures would bleed into his fascination for this man and vice versa. This was why he loved them so much.

This was also why, a few months after first getting the book and sitting with his brother on the train ride to Hogwarts, he could barely look Remus Lupin in the eye without his whole face going red.

“For the first time in his life, he understood what muggles meant when they referred to magic. That was what Regulus was on his broom, pure magic.”

Thank you. This line is EVERYTHING

Pt. 2 to my rockstar regulus hc

Sirius and the rest of the marauders start spreading rumors or telling really embarrassing stories of Regulus when he was younger.

They would tell anyone they met about Regulus being able to catch a pigeon with his bare hands and doing it on several occasions. How he once bodied a stranger after they said his earrings were gay. How he set a trash can on fire. How he’s actually bald and just wears a wig all the time.

Sirius even found a way to get an interview for a magazine as an “Account on the newest star Regulus Black from his very own brother”. He said the most insane things but with so much conviction they all believed him.

Things got so out of hand that when Reg was in the middle of an interview the interviewer asks, “it is true you were once so in love with your brothers best friend, you sent him a love letter a day for a month?”

Reg just sits there for a minute, fazed by this super random question. Then he looks directly into the camera and goes, “Sirius I’m gonna cut all your hair off” and walks out.

Sirius cackled when he saw it.

Plus he’s a pure blood so you know Voldy’s all over that shit

Personally? I love the idea of Voldemort starting to see Regulus as a bit of a threat even without knowing he's onto the Horcruxes. Like, they're a little too similar. Regulus is just as handsome and charming and charismatic and smart as Tom Riddle was at that age, and he's also the wealthy well-connected pureblood heir Tom pretended to be. He's like Voldemort-plus. And that could become a problem.

Tw: anxiety attacks (mentioned)

Regulus had really shit grades for the first few years at hogwarts.

He was really stiff and never got the wand motions right. He got anxious during tests and blanked. He was really bad at chopping things and ended up nicking his fingers during potions (which was never good with the whole hemophilia thing), he was taught to never get dirty (man’s always had hand sanitizer) so he hated herbology. He was always good at flying lessons and astronomy though.

He never asked questions or for extra help because he was scared people would think he was dumb.

He was also dealing with Sirius not talking to him anymore no matter how many times he tried to get his attention.

He got even more stressed when he knew his mother would find out about his grades and started having frequent anxiety attacks. Madame Pomfrey soon realized that his anxiety attacks were from school and started to help him.

She taught him healing spells, potions, how to work with herbs and cleaning spells, and meditation. The one on one lessons really helped Regulus notice his mistakes and helped him loosen up.

This was how he found out Remus was a werewolf. He loved magical creatures and read about them in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them so he was already suspicious. He soon put two and two together when he would wake up in the hospital wing and Pomfrey would be fussing over someone who wasn’t there the night before.

Also just imagine Remus and Regulus sitting on opposite beds while Pomfrey teaches them how to clear their mind. Or Remus realizing why Regulus was in the hospital wing all the time and encouraged Sirius to talk to him.

I feel like we’ve settled on who of the marauders era characters are swifties but now is the time for the real question: Who of those bitches are barbs???

Sirius: my brother and I get along really well

James: you- you just shoved him into the wall and called him stupid?

Sirius: . . . you clearly don’t understand sibling relationships

What did I do in my past life to deserve not having an enemy to fight with until we keep getting put together for things and see that while both of us have our flaws we actually are humans with emotions and suddenly we like spending time with each other but neither of us would admit to that and when we fight it’s explosive but we always make up and when one of us gets hurt the other goes still and quietly asks ‘who did this to you?’ and then beats the shit out of that person and don’t even get me started on the staring-

I wrote an angsty jegulus story with unrequited love. That’s literally all I can say about it. Read it if you want😎
