RP: Remus/Regulus
Who: Remus/Regulus
When: evening, 2nd of June
Where: The new living room
What: Regulus decides that it's time to discuss the house

Regulus was slowly redecorating the Slytherin dormitory or as he called it 'home'. The common room was now a formal salon, with sofas and armchairs grouped together around the edges of the room. The middle was now empty and ready for people. He just needed an excuse for a party.

The girls side of the dormitory was still untouched, but he had worked on the boys side. The first floor still had the bedroom. He had debated bringing it upstairs, but the past full moon proved that it was easier for Remus to only walk up one set of stairs. The informal dining room had been brought all the way to the seventh floor, while the new living room was on the sixth, giving them options for different rooms.

They were in the newly decorated living room, sitting in a comfortable couch (unlike the ones in the salon). He looked at the message that they had just gotten from Pettigrew. "If whatever it is screws with my house, I will be terribly upset."

"Again, my spells are made to stop people from coming in and not from leaving. If they arrive here, then they can leave. Kreacher can take them out without any damage to them if I'm not around." People usually forth how stealthy the house-elves could go and Kreacher could Apparate them while they couldn't.

He nodded. "Although, she's still a Hufflepuff, so it's not a surprise," he said, barely trying not to giggle like a school child. There were some stereotypes that survived through the generations. "He is and I don't blame him one bit. I would do the same if I were in his place. Too bad that his children aren't as paranoid, maybe not the older one, although his name- Really, why do that to his own son?" He snorted. "Now I have the mental image of someone trying that spell on Binns while he keeps teaching."

Regulus nodded. "That seems acceptable, although maybe we can do a library and an office, on two different floors. The rooms are only so big. If we put two desks, the bookcases and the couches, it'll be truly cramped. It'll be easier to work from home after the full moon." He grinned, because slowly the house was taking shape. "It'll be great, won't it?"

Remus' description of the house didn't get better as he spoke. "I liked London. I might not interact with Muggles, but I was still there, I could see what was happening. I could walk to Diagon Alley and King's Cross. I certainly didn't have to climb trees, but I could go to Hyde Park. I miss the energy of London."

"So, we're good, then," Remus agreed with a smile. He would always worry about the people he cared about. It was just the way he was built. His parents' influence, in some ways. After all, they'd set the example by giving up everything for him, hadn't they? But, as long as Regulus took appropriate precautions... And, Remus did spend a lot of time there. So, it wasn't just Regulus and Kreacher.

He snorted softly. "Harry's future self must have been taking lessons from my parents for names to curse your children with," he said with a laugh. "I suppose Jamie would be the most likely of the three to share their father's paranoia to some degree, though. He has his grandfather's swagger, but he watches a room like his father." Picturing the scene Regulus described, his laughter grew even warmer and more rolling. "I think that would be more dangerous for anyone else in the area listening to it. Binns is bad enough."

Leaning back against the arm of the sofa, Remus stretched out, keeping one foot on the floor and manoeuvring the other so that he didn't kick Regulus. Then, he reached for his boyfriend, intent on puling the younger man to lean against him so Remus could have him in his arms as they talked. "A separate office sounds good. Does this mean you'll let me work after the Full, if I stay here?" he teased, remembering the foot Regulus had put down about the matter the previous month.

"I barely remember London. I know we lived there at the time of the attack. But, most of my childhood memories are of the farmhouse. I didn't really see a lot of the city until later, during the war." He chuckled softly. "I didn't have to climb trees. But, they were there. So, why not? It was a good skill to learn for after. People very rarely look up."
