Re: Remus - Regulus
"I didn't even have to try. You started it all." He watched, and he could see for a moment why Remus was friends with Sirius and Potter, that willingness to joke around. "I think you need to do more introspection. Maybe you'll figure it out just how much in love you are with him," he said, chuckling.
The touch was strange, even if he'd been the first to touch Remus. He looked at other man for a moment, and then he covered Remus' hand with his. "I've being doing things alone for a while. Trusting people has led to rather unfortunate results, but thank you. I do appreciate it... the problem is that whatever needs to be done will have to go through Dumbledore, because the knowledge- Even I wouldn't want to share that type of information."
Regulus squeezed Remus' hand and then pulled back. "You're wrong. The darkness is there. Self-preservation keeps it at bay. I don't want to end up in Azkaban."
