“Oh,” James said again, still slightly shocked by Regulus’s announcement. 

“Are you going to take it?” Sirius asked ignoring James. Regulus’s eyes flicked between them, unable to settle on either. They rested on James a second longer than they had been. So many emotions flickered across his face that James struggled to pick one out.

“Yes.” He said simply. James ran his fingers roughly through his hair. They’d barely had time to figure out if they were going anywhere, and now Regulus was leaving for three whole years. James felt something breaking inside him. He didn’t know what it was, but he knew he needed to be anywhere but here. So he walked out into the garden. 

He kept walking until he couldn’t see the back door anymore. 

He stopped at the base of the tree that held his childhood treehouse. After a moment’s pause, he climbed the weathered ladder into the branches, hoping it would hold his adult weight. 

It was dirty up there. Leaves coated the floor, blown in through the open door. He used his feet to carefully push the leaves out of the treehouse, praying that nothing was currently living in them. 

Once he had a space large enough to sit in he plonked himself down and sulked. 

The treehouse itself was just a shed that his dad had somehow built around the tree. It was smaller than he remembered.

It didn’t take long for Sirius to find him. He called up telling James he was taking Regulus back to Grimmauld and he’d call him later before he left. 

Once it got too cold, James decided he’d moped long enough. He began descending the ladder. He got halfway down before one of the rungs splintered in half. He fell with a wumph, landing squarely on his rump. He groaned into the night air. How had this day turned out so shit?

He needed a shower after his time in the treehouse. He spent a long time in there. Letting the hot water work out the knots in his body. His rear end was tender. It was definitely going to bruise. 

Sighing deeply, he left the warmth of the shower, towelling his hair roughly and putting on his pyjamas before collapsing onto his bed. There was a note on Regulus’s pillow. He snatched it up and read the words written in Regulus’s elegant script. 

I’m Sorry 

That was all it said. James threw it across the room with a flick of his wrist. He closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep. 

James woke feeling guilty. Regulus had received this amazing news, and he’d acted like a brat. He had to make it up to Regulus, he couldn’t leave it like that. 

He went in search of his phone and a cup of coffee.

He found his phone where he’d left it last night, on the counter after the timer had gone off. The battery was dead, so he made his coffee and took it into the living room. 

He had to wait a few minutes before his phone would be turned on. 

Immediately, it started buzzing and didn’t stop as countless messages began to come through. Every single one of them was from Sirius, apart from one reminding him he was due an eye test. There was nothing from Regulus. 

He sipped his coffee as he went through his messages. They started off as apologies for abandoning him but turned into urgent words, Sirius needing James to reply. 

James quickly typed back, ‘I’m OK.’  

When noon came around, and he still hadn’t heard from Regulus, he put on his shoes, got in his minivan and drove to Grimmauld Place. 

Remus answered the door and let him in. 

“He’s in his room,” Remus told him before he could even ask. He climbed the stairs two at a time and went straight to Regulus’s room. He knocked before he entered and found him curled up in bed. 

“Hey,” He said, “I wanted to apologise for how I acted yesterday.” Regulus looked up at him, considering for a moment before he spoke. 

“You made quite a scene.” He said huffily. James nodded, no use denying it. 

“Have you accepted the offer then?” He winced as he said it. Regulus’s eyes narrowed. 

“Yes, I leave Friday.” He spoke in a very controlled way, revealing nothing. 

When did you apply for it?” James asked. He needed to know it wasn’t since they’d been together. 

“Why does it matter, James? It’s my dream job. You should be overjoyed for me. I’ve been working my whole life for this opportunity.” Regulus was getting irritated. His hands balled into fists as he spoke. 

“I don’t want you to go,” James pleaded. He could feel the back of his eyes prickling.   

“You can’t ask that of me!” Regulus's voice had raised, not quite a shout, but getting close. 

“Why not? I love you!” He blurted out. It was true, but way, way, way too soon to say. Regulus didn’t seem phased by it.

“Yeah, and I’ve loved you since I was eleven. It still doesn’t change the fact that I’m going to America in less than a week!” Regulus shouted now. He ran his hand over his face, sighing in frustration. “Look, we can either spend the next few days together enjoying being with each other and see if we can make this work long distance, or we call it quits now and have a clean break.” James saw red. 

“What’s the point of spending time together when you're leaving anyway? Might as well get it over with now.” He crossed his arms and scowled. Regulus’s jaw quivered. The hurt on his face was clear. Then, as if a mask had been placed over his features, it went blank. His eyes were empty of emotion. 

“So be it,” He said flatly. James turned on his heel, slamming the doors as he left Grimmauld Place behind.

today is January 27th, Holocaust remembrance day

this is a day to reflect on atrocities committed during ww2.

The crimes committed were, say it with me now

Genocide

today a genocidal occupation and apartheid perpetrated by the Israeli government is happening in palestine.

If I say that what happened during the holocaust was bad, and then turn around and side with Israel with this I am nothing better than a hypocrite.

what is occurring in Gaza is, without a doubt, genocide.

things are happening to combat this painfully slowly, and they are only happening because people are speaking out. One voice may be quiet, but you can't silence us all.

don't stop speaking out

Never forget and never forget that the first victims of Auschwitz were young women.

When Nazi Germany occupied much of Poland at the outbreak of World War II, the parents of Erna and Fela Dranger sent their daughters over the border from their home in Tylicz to the eastern Slovakian town of Humenné. Their cousin Dina Dranger went with them. Erna, 20, and Fela and Dina, both 18, found jobs and settled in with the local Humenné Jewish community. At some point, Fela moved on to the Slovakian capital of Bratislava with a friend.

The girls’ parents thought they had sent their daughters to safety. But on March 25, 1942, Erna and Dina were among the nearly 1,000 teenage girls and unmarried young women deported on the first official transport of Jews to Auschwitz.

Told by Slovakian authorities that they would be going away to do government work service for just a few months, the Jewish girls and women were actually sold to the Germans by the the Slovaks for 500 Reich Marks (about $200) apiece as slave labor.

Very few of the 997 girls on that first transport — or any of the other early transports — survived the more than three hellish years until the end of the war. Erna, Fela and Dina Dranger beat the odds, with the sisters going on to raise families in Israel and their cousin Dina settling in France.

The story of what happened to these and the other women on the first transports to Auschwitz is told in “999: The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz,” a compelling new book by Heather Dune Macadam. (The Nazis had planned to deport 999 Jewish women on the initial transport, but Macadam discovered typos on the list — now held in the Yad Vashem archives — making the actual tally 997.)

The Panama Canal "Stella Polaris" in Gaillard Cut January 27, 1934

Record Group 185: Records of the Panama CanalSeries: Photographs of the Construction of the Panama CanalFile Unit: Construction of the Panama Canal - Volume 11

This black and white photograph shows a ship with a single smokestack and two masts moving through the water of the Panama Canal.  Its name “Stella Polaris” is written on the side of the ship.  Two smaller tugboats are visible.  The Stella Polaris was a well known cruise ship in the 1930s, but it is small by today’s standards.

Animal of the Day!

Pelican Eel (Eurypharynx pelecanoides)

(Photo from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Northern Atlantic Ocean; Northern Pacific Ocean

Size (Weight/Length)- 75 cm

Diet- Small fish; Crustaceans; Cephalopods

Cool Facts- Also called a gulper eel, the deep sea pelican eel has one of the largest mouths of any eel species. The pelican eel’s mouth makes up a quarter of its body, opening wide enough to eat extremely large prey despite its rather small body size. These eels are active pursuit predators rather than stealth hunters as most deep sea fish are. Little is known about how these eels breed let alone when their breeding season is, if they have one at all. The only reason we even know about pelican eels is due to them being pulled up as bycatch in deep sea trawling nets. Submarine explorations have allowed for some footage to be taken but not much is known about pelican eel behavior.

Rating- 11/10 (Unhinged jaw for max gulping power.)
