In marauders era muggle aus if you don't make Regulus save Sirius' contact name as "Rough Draft" then what is the point

[isabel-lillah]

James and Marlene both have ADHD and both spent several of their former years studying different languages and learning lost or uncommon languages so they can gossip with each other without worrying about people hearing them, which becomes a problem when they make friends with nosy multi-lingual people.

Usually they default to Hindi or Spanish, what with James' first language being Hindi and Marlene growing up in a Hispanic family. But then Regulus started learning Hindi for James and already knew Spanish, Remus picked up Hindi after James spent a day where he drunkenly complained that speaking English all the time was hard, and Dorcas picked up Spanish.

So they'll usually switch to Italian, which stopped when they learned that both Dorcas and Barty spoke Italian. After that, they tend to go for German. But when their friends start pulling out German dictionaries, they'll move onto Japanese.

They go through most of their languages: Dutch (once again, dictionaries), Turkish (weirdly enough, Evan knows how to speak it), Latin (which they learn that Regulus, Pandora, and Remus know), Greek (which brings out more dictionaries), Swahili (how Lily knew that one, neither of them know).

They've even tried sign language, which doesn't work because all of the latest Black generation knows sign language.

Finally, one day they can best their friends. It comes with a very frustrated sigh as Barty shouts, "Gaelic? Really?" It doesn't take that long before they have to find another language.

10 things only James Potter knew about Regulus Black

1) In July 1976, he came to the Potters through their floo together with unconscious Sirius. He left again before Effie and Monty came.

2) After his brother got away from home, he continued to secretly check on him.

3) He threatened Snape into not spreading the information about Remus being a werewolf.

4) He hexed another Slytherin for insulting Pandora.

5) He got punished for it by his mother. That was the second time he came through the Potters's floo.

6) He spent most of his nights at Hogwarts in the astronomy tower.

7) Regulus had violent nightmares that left him shaking. Sometimes, the shakes didn't stop for hours.

8) His touch was like the ocean - engulfing, gentle, but also powerful.

9) Before he left for the cave, he obliviated James in his sleep.

10) The obliviate didn't work.

James didn't know he had ADHD, because it was the 70s. He did know that he was different, though. He knew since his first year at Hogwarts, where he was surrounded by his peers, who just didn't seem to struggle with the same stuff he did.

He was worried he would be too weird for anyone to actually be friends with him.

And he was a lot for a lot of people, but not for his friends. His friends, who noticed his struggles and adapted without blinking an eye. His friends who found ways to help him without ever mentioning it.

Remus kept a hair tie around his wrist to lent James when he needed to fidget.

Peter always carried several extra quills in his bag to give James when he forgot his or broke it when he was moving around a lot.

Sirius dragged him out of the castle for a run whenever James got bouncy.

They all reminded him the deadlines of their assignments and the books he left somewhere.

They physically shielded him when other students were giving him dirty looks for not being still in the library or the classrooms.

And nobody ever understood why all of these little things meant so much to James.

april 21 - prompt: run - @jegulus-microfic - word count: 307

Okay, so Regulus might be hiding from his friends right now. But it's for a good reason.

Pandora keeps insisting he's overworking himself with studying for their exams, while Regulus keeps insisting he is not. The rest of their friend group has similar mentality as Regulus (meaning exhaustion doesn't matter as long as you pass the exams), but not all of them can avoid Pandora for the entire afternoon, so Regulus left on his own.

Barty is going to kill him for this once he comes back.

In Regulus's defence, leaving the castle, and Pandora's fussing, was integral to his sanity. He also left a note saying he's taking a walk, so his friends wouldn't have to worry. He figured it was a good enough idea.

What might not have been the best idea, though, was to take the walk in the Forbidden forest. Especially not when he's this exhausted.

Because there's no explanation other than complete exhaustion for staring eye to eye with a stag.

They've run into each other over two minutes ago and have been staring at each other the entire time.

"Pandora's right, I need to go to sleep," Regulus mutters, shaking himself out of the trance, before slowly turning around and tripping.

Before he can hit the ground, a strong body supports him.

"Thanks, deer," Regulus whispers, not knowing whether to find his own joke funny or not. Either way, the stag seems amused, so he decides to count it as a win and never tell a soul he actually said this.

As a stag and an overworked, tired teen started their way out of the forest, Regulus mustered enough energy for one last statement: "You know, deer, you feel weirdly like James. You guys have the same aura."

And if Regulus wasn't so exhausted, he would swear he saw the stag blush.

april 20 - prompt: green - @jegulus-microfic - word count: 204

"What's your favourite colour?" James and Regulus were, as usual, sitting at the top of the astronomy tower when Regulus asked.

James laughed at the randomness of the question: "What? Why do you ask?"

Regulus stopped looking out the window in favour of turning to James. The older boy smiled at the ease with which the Slytherin was there, at the moment. He used to be so tense and short worded, James worried he would never manage to get behind the carefully built walls Regulus normally hides behind. And yet here they are, just a few months later, talking about colours.

"We always talk about the depressing stuff, I don't know the random details about you. Come on, what's your favourite colour?"

He's right, of course. Them talking started with James trying to crack through the mask of Regulus Black and continued with Reg trying to crack through James's walls.

They just skipped the stage of talking about stuff like favourite colours.

"Green. The deep forest kind, you know what I mean?"

Regulus turned his head back towards the Forbidden forest: "Yeah, I do. It's soothing. The same way dark blue is. The deep ocean blue kind."

"Your favourite?"

The younger teen smiled: "Yeah."

Sirius: Mooonnyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

Sirius: You know muggle stuff, right? What's narnia?

Remus: Huhh?

Sirius: -why is it deep in a closet?

Remus : Pads, what? Where did you hear that?

Sirius: Reg said that I'm so deep in the closet I almost reached Narnia. What does that mean?

Remus: Well...

Sirius: Okay, you know what, I'll go look in all the closets. Prongs will help me, right?

James: .....

Regulus(pulling James away): For fucks sake do us all a favour and take Lupin with you.

Remus:.....

"Prongs, are you seriously skipping class today?" Sirius asked, bewildered. He didn't believe Remus when he told him this, but once he got back to their dorm, he found James still in his bed.

"Just potions. I have a headache, and I can't handle Slughorn with this. I'll join you for charms," James replied, waving his hand around.

Sirius made a complicated face, which could be translated into an inner fight: "Well, I would skip with you, but I can't miss potions again unless I want to get killed by Slughorn. You need anything before I go?"

"No need. I already got water from Remus the mother hen. Enjoy potions."

Sirius laughed. "Will do. Feel better, yeah?"

And with that, Sirius left the dorm.

"I almost feel bad for lying to him," mused Regulus from under the duvet.

"Why are you grinning then, love?"

"Well, James, because now I can do this." James had just a second to laugh before he was silenced by Reg's mouth. Yeah, he can see the reason for a grin now.

Reg, reading at 1am, with James' head in his lap, idly playing with his hair with one hand.

Reg looking down at him and smiling so softly at how peaceful he looks.

Reg thinking James is asleep.

Reg whispering for the first time "I love you."

Reg's heart fluttering when there's a sleepy mumble of "I love you too" below him.

Ever since July 1976, James and Sirius have always disappeared for the entirety of the second weekend in July.

Every year, without fail, they pack their stuff in the morning of the second Friday of July and they don't come back until Monday morning.

No one knows what they do or where they are during this time. They refuse to talk about it.

What no one knows is that James and Sirius lied about Sirius's escape from home. They told everyone Sirius ran away in late August and got to the Potters without much harm.

The truth is, however, that Sirius got kicked out with several hexes being done on him the second week of July. Even though he tried, he didn't make it to the Potters. He collapsed on the edge of a forest, several kilometres away from their house. It was a mere coincidence (or fate) James chose to change his usual running route that day and found Sirius just an hour later.

Ever since July 1976, James and Sirius use the second weekend of the month to go camping and get drunk in a certain forest.
