Re: Regulus/Alex
"Oh do stop with the Sir, especially when you're about to lie to me," he said. "You don't want them to leave you alone. If you did, you wouldn't go so out of your way to antagonise them, look differently, change your name. You want a reaction, because otherwise, you're just one of them, just another kid in a large family with too many heroes."
He straightened a little. "James is my brother-in-law, and I don't take kindly to people insulting my family, and I, unlike your family, have no moral qualms with hexing a minor. I grew up knowing that being underage meant that you were fair game for your parents. He's also working very hard to save a lot of people from death." It wasn't something that Regulus would ever do, but the world would be in ruin without the James and Sirius of each generation. "Also, I might not know, but I can make a very good educated guess, and the fact that you thought or felt means only that you need to stop being a whiny child and realise that people don't care as much as you think."
