Prompt 12 - Retire
@jegulus-microfic March 12 Word count 985
Previous part First part
Remus slept the entire day. Only waking to eat the food Regulus had brought up with them before curling back up onto the couch.
Regulus felt the warmth spreading from his hidden pocket, alerting him that James was trying to contact him. 
He moved into an antechamber off the main library and pulled out the mirror. 
“Hi, Reg.” James smiled at Regulus through the mirror, but it was a bit pinched around the edges. 
“Are you okay, James?” Regulus asked, unable to keep the worry out of his voice. James nodded sadly. 
“I just—I just can’t believe it’s Pete. I mean, how could he do that to us? To Sirius, to me? He used me to gather information for Voldemort. What else have I told him that he’s used against the Order?” Regulus watched the tear fall from James’s face and felt helpless. James needed him, and he couldn’t help.  
A noise behind him made him start. Remus had woken and followed Regulus into the antechamber. His face was red with rage. 
“What do you mean you can’t believe it’s Pete!” He snarled at James over Regulus’s shoulder. 
“Er—erm—I mean—erm…” James stuttered. Regulus pinched the bridge of his nose, a headache suddenly irrupting behind his eyes.
“James, can you get to Rosier House in the next hour?” He asked, taking a step away from the rage-shaking Remus. James nodded. 
“Yeah. Should I bring Sirius?”
“Do you think he’ll be able to control himself if we tell him?”
“Probably not, but he’ll be worse if we keep it from him.”
“I agree.” Regulus turned to Remus. “Are you coming as well?”
“Yup,” Remus’s voice was a growl. Regulus could almost see the wolf within. He’d never seen Remus as a threat before, but now he realised that he was the most dangerous of them all. He turned his attention back to James. 
“Wear the cloak. Don’t be seen. Remus and I are probably being watched, and we’re supposed to be hunting Sirius down.” James chucked at that. 
“So what you’re saying is he’s walking directly into your clutches?” Regulus smirked in Remus’s direction.
“Lupin here can’t wait to get his hands on him.” Some of the rage left Remus’s face. 
“Shut it, Regulus and let’s get going. James, see you in a bit.” 
“Bye,” Regulus smiled fondly at James through the mirror.
“See you soon, love,” James said before he disappeared.

They walked through the gates of Rosier House and entered the house itself. They found Barty and Evan where they usually were, in Evan’s bedroom. 
“When we retire from this venture Evan, I am going to put so many wards on this room that none of these fuckers can ever get back in so we can shag in peace!” Barty apparently did not appreciate them just dropping by. “Nice to see you away from those flea-ridden twats, Lupin.” He added, grinning toothily at Remus. 
“Likewise.” Remus nodded back. Just then, the door opened and closed, and Sirius, appearing out of nowhere, launched himself at Remus, giving him no time at all to react. Regulus had no idea how he managed to keep them both upright, but he did. 
Regulus tried not to stare, but his brother looked so happy it was hard to turn away. That’s when James pulled the cloak off right in front of him, and Regulus didn’t care anymore. In a very similar fashion to Sirius, he was in James’s arms before his brain could catch up with his body’s actions. His lips were on James’s, and his hands tangled in his hair in the next breath.
A pillow flew across the room and hit them, then another at Sirius and Remus. Both couples broke apart, glaring at Barty.
“You disturbed us,” He sneered, pointing to himself and Evan. “I’m only returning the favour.”
“What’s happened, Reg?” Evan asked, diffusing the situation. Regulus sighed. 
“We think we know who the spy is.” He started. Remus ground his teeth, a growl rumbling in his chest. Clearly, his time with the wolves had rubbed off. Sirius reached up and ran his fingers through Remus’s hair, calming him. Or perhaps he’d always been that way. 
“Who is it?” Sirius asked, not taking his eyes off Remus. Remus’s eyes met Sirius’s. 
“Peter,” He snarled from the side of his mouth. 
“What!” Sirius exploded. “I’ll kill him! Snivelling little rat!” Sirius’s tirade continued for some minutes before he ran out of insults. Regulus stepped forward. 
“Right now that you’ve gotten that out of your system. We can’t let on that we figured it out. The only way that any of us could have figured it out is if we talked, and obviously, we can’t let that get out.” 
“We’re just going to let him get away with it!” Sirius roared. 
“No, of course not.” A wicked grin spread across his face. “You’re going to feed him lies to take back to Voldemort, and then we’ll see how good an informant he is. You never know. Voldemort might take care of him for us.” 
“We can’t do that.” James piped up. The entire room looked at him bewildered. 
“Why not?!” Sirius was red in the face. “He’s working for the other side, James.” 
“So are they.” James pointed at Regulus, Evan and Barty. 
“Well—Yes, but—but they’re—they’re helping us. Peter isn’t.” Sirius struggled to find the words he needed. 
“He’s been our friend far longer than he’s been a spy,” James said, looking at his friends. 
“You’re right,” Remus said calmly. Regulus saw James relax at Remus’s words, but Regulus saw the anger there. “You’re right. We should be the ones to take care of him.”
“Oh, goody,” Barty said gleefully. “We’re plotting murder!”
“Yes, yes,” Regulus stepped in before any more could be said. “We can deal with Pettigrew later. For now, I think I’ve discovered where another Horcrux might be.”

I’m saddened for Charles Martinet’s voice acting role comes to an end. At least we had iconic moments when voicing the Super Mario cast in past years.
Personally for me, it that one N64 game I’d enjoyed from my past memories; especially when booted up the game to show a star of Nintendo.

Has anyone checked on Robert Jobson?
Instead of choosing silence after the warranted backlash Jobson received for falsely claiming that William is jealous of Sparry, Jobson reduced the meanspirited coordinated cyberbullying of The Princess to an internet street fight bw the sussex sewer squad & supporters of The Princess.
