Prompt: party
Cw: torture (non-graphic), character death
"Welcome back to the party, Sirius," says Regulus, tone indifferent. Remus watches as Sirius glares up at him. "Is your head a bit clearer now? I hope so. I wouldn't want you to miss this."
Regulus nods toward Crouch, nothing more than an incline of his chin. Crouch smiles nastily and then unleashes a curse, Remus tensing over the floor, jaw clamping down, muscles locking as he tries not to give into the pain, but it's useless, it always is. It's not long before he's writhing, body jerking violently even as he continues to bite down against screams of agony.
"No," whispers Sirius. "No, stop! He's got nothing to do with this!"
"He has everything to do with this," mutters Regulus even as he indicates for Crouch to stop, and Remus' movements cease, limbs falling limp as the spell falls away, "because he has everything to do with you. You love him. I watched you those last years at school. I saw it. If anything's going to get you to talk, it's him. Now tell me where they are."
He can feel Sirius' eyes fixed on him, burning into his skin, through the fabric of his clothing. Remus shakes his head, gaze lifting to meet, and he can see Sirius crumble under the weight.
"No."
Sirius goes mute after that, says nothing else, but Remus knows he's watching it all. It goes forever, seemingly endless, the spells coming, barely relenting. There are some he doesn't recognize, but they're all filled with pain, his body reacting in negative ways. Sirius struggles for a while against whatever is holding him in place, but eventually he falls still, seems to give up, stony and silent as he stares in defeat.
"Still not ready to talk?" comes Regulus' voice after what feels like years. Remus is barely conscious now, can't think of anything but his nerves set to blaze under his flesh. Sirius doesn't speak, eyes not leaving Remus, face a mask of boiling rage, hard at its edges. "You're only making it worse, prolonging everything by being stubborn."
Sirius throws his head back and barks out a sharp, grating laugh. "Stubborn," he says, finally opening his mouth, looking up at his younger brother. "For trying to protect my family? Fuck off, Regulus."
"You were my family first," hisses Regulus, the first trace of emotion entering his voice. "Where were you when I needed you? Off with them! You chose them over me."
"And you chose them over me!" roars Sirius, trying to launch himself up from the ground and tumbling a little as the spells hold firm. "You sided with them, Regulus."
"You walked out on me. What was I meant to do?"
"Fight back!" shouts Sirius, anger clearly spiking. "Tell them they're wrong because they are. Walk away like I did! You're my brother. You had a good heart once. I know you didn't always buy into their shite they spewed like poison. Why are you doing it now? Why are you doing this?"
Regulus' nose twists, a sneer pulling over his face. "I stopped being your brother the day you walked away," he says quietly, voice a storm. "Or don't you remember telling me I wasn't fit to be family anymore?"
Sirius opens his mouth to speak, but Crouch cuts him off. "I'm finished with this drama," he snarls viciously. "I'm ending this. He's going to break."
Remus looks up, his eyes cracking open. He can see it on the other man's face, what he's thinking, but Remus settles with the knowledge, because it's all right. His friends will stay safe. Harry will grow up, age and mature, and he'll do that all with his rightful family. Remus finds peace in that.
"Barty – " warns Regulus sharply.
"No!" shouts Sirius, trying to lurch forward again, reaching for Remus.
"Avada Kedavra."
Crouch's dark, malicious gaze and the blinding flash of green are the last things Remus sees before his eyes slip closed a second before the spell hits, his world falling to the memory of mesmerizing grey in a sea of pale skin and black hair, those dancing fingers over his skin and music made of whispered words in the darkest of nights.
