Re: Remus - Regulus
"And again, you started it all," he said, smiling, although he was trying hard to keep this impersonal, because he didn't think he could have made the same remarks while thinking of his brother.
"Settled is good, especially for Sirius." He might not like the Potters, but if one made Sirius happy, he could be a little nice to that one, at least until James did something stupid, and then Regulus could be twice as horrible.
"Very wisely said, Professor," Reuglus answered, although he knew that plenty of people would still try to achieve it. It was humanity ultimate goal.
When Remus squeezed his hand, Regulus tensed for a moment. This had gone past casual touch, but it was encouragement and perhaps friendship. "Tonight is not the night to compare notes on the subject," he said, staring straight at the other man." His fingers tightened around Remus'. "Perhaps it's also not the night to figure out why we keep telling each other things that we haven't told anyone else, but I'd like to find out."
