A/N I'm so dumb haha my first chapter where Regulus is 15 I said he's 'finally starting to become dark' yet my last chapter he had fully became dark through the influence of his friends and family at age 14... so that's that I guess. Ignore that mistake please haha xD

A/N 2/ I make so many mistakes in my writing so if anyone ever reads this don't even bother to comment if some of my writing makes no sense haha (also this is technically an A/N because it's a fanfiction so there's that as well).

On with the story!

Chapter 4

James woke up with a pillow to his head, it hit him hardly. He burrowed under the covers and felt the pillow continuously whack his poor, poor body.

"G'way!"

"Time for transfiguration, James. You slept through breakfast." He could hear the smile in Sirius' voice.

"I can't concentrate when I'm hungry!" He cried.

"Well, that's your problem isn't it." Sirius laughed.

"You could've woke me up!"

"We tried. You were out like a broken light..."

James bullied himself out of bed, brushed his teeth, got dressed in a rush and forgot to brush his hair at all.

"I forgot something..." James said from behind Sirius.

He looked behind him to see that James wasn't wearing his glasses! What an idiot.

"Can you even see clearly?"

"Oh yeah! My glasses!"

Sirius facepalmed as he watched his friend run back to the dorm. James wasn't the brightest of people he'd ever met, if he was being completely honest. As they entered the classroom, McGonagall was midway through a lecture and, being interrupted, glared at the two who entered late.

"Ah, Mr Black, I'll need to have a talk with you later."

"What for, Professor?" Sirius asked, knowing he hadn't done anything particularly wrong.

"Meet me at 6 o'clock sharp. Anyways," she carried on with her lecture and Sirius took a seat, looking more confused than ever. Remus noticed his facial expression and snickered, causing Sirius to smack him jokingly.

Sirius did as she said and met McGonagall in her office, of course, he was 5 minutes late.

"Black, take a seat." She said, and Sirius was concerned, there was a softness in her eyes he rarely saw.

"What's wrong, Minnie?" He asked, surprised she didn't say anything about her nickname.

"Madame Pomfrey has informed me of an incident yesterday-"

Sirius paused, he was such an idiot. He didn't ask her to not tell anybody, of course she would've told somebody else.

"-which caused your hand to be in quite a, well a mess, I suppose..."

"Well I-um... I just got too caught up in the bad, I didn't even think about the good things."

What he didn't expect was for McGonagall to secretly be a therapist, "Care to tell me what happened? Maybe I can help you."

He felt hesitant at first. Was he really about to tell his teacher, of all people, his problems he had at home? She'd known him ever since he was a toddler, sure. She'd known him when he used to be brainwashed into being like his family, she'd been through it all, really. Then he thought 'fuck it, what's there to lose?'

"Well, it's complicated." He started, then sighed, "Regulus." He said simply.

"Regulus?"

"It's as if I lost my only brother. He's like them now."

McGonagall looked at him for a while, trying to figure out what emotion he was feeling, but his body posture was normal and his face was blank, staring at the floor.

"How do you feel about that?"

"How do you expect I'll feel? Awful. I tried to change him but apparently my parents tried harder." He said bitterly, kicking the desk, "I was too caught up that I even forgot to congratulate Andy- Andromeda on her baby."

McGonagall wracked her mind trying to remember Andromeda. Of course she remembered her in general and what she looked like but she didn't remember any specific details like her personality. It slowly came back to her. She was also an outcast to her family, marrying Ted Tonks from Hufflepuff.

"Professor, why did you really call me here?" He asked suspiciously.

If she was being honest, she was a little curious as to why Sirius would smash a mirror, but deep down in her heart she felt something for the poor boy, almost a sympathetic/pity but not kind of feeling at the same time.

"I just thought I'd check up on you, as I would with any other student."

"Hm." He didn't buy it, and she knew it, "well, is it okay if I go back now?"

"Of course Mr. Black, and if you want, you can meet me here the same time tomorrow, but the choice is yours."

Sirius was just confused more than anything.

OoOoO

Meanwhile in the boys' dorm, "my guys who's up for a game of truth or dare?" James asked, obviously bored.

"James, were not five year olds." Remus rolled his eyes, in one of his moods.

It was nearing that time of month.

"Oh well, this will be more fun, look what I got~" he pulled out two bottles of fire whiskey from his trunk, "dad gave them to me before we left and I completely forgot. He told me to 'have fun' so why don't we?"

Peter agreed, and although Remus was hesitant he did want to take his mind off of the upcoming full moon.

As James explained the rules, the other two listened intently, "basically, you get asked truth or dare, and if you don't do it, you take a shot of fire whiskey. We shouldn't get too drunk before Sirius comes back, though, or drunk at all, actually..."

"Fine... who's starting?" He asked.

"Me first! Remus, truth or dare?" James asked.

"Truth."

"Okay... I'll start mildly, when did you last go on a date with somebody?"

Remus visibly blushed and James smirked, and Peter just watched with bored eyes as he waited for his own turn, "last week." He finally said quietly.

"Excuse me wHaT?!" James screeched like a teenage girl with one of her girlfriends.

He jumped on Remus and pinned him to the floor so that he couldn't escape, "Who? Why? Where? Was it a guy or a girl?"

Remus pushes him off almost violently, "I'm not telling you, I'm not telling you, Hogsmeade, and it was a girl, obviously. It's as if you think I'm gay, sometimes."

"Well, Rem, if you'd tell us about your 'encounters' then we'd stop." James simply smiled.

"I don't kiss and tell," he answered smartly, "now it's my turn, Peter, truth or dare?"

"Dare." He answered quickly.

"I dare you to..." he looked around the dorm, "squirt three whole tubes of toothpaste in Sirius' bed, but don't tell him, obviously."

"But what if he gets mad?" He asked almost frantically.

"Then, I'll say I did it." James said proudly, wanting to take credit for the prank.

After he was done, he sat back down in the circle.

"James, truth or dare?"

"Maybe truth, I haven't done truth in like 10 million years."

"Umm... if your ideal girl was standing right in front of you, would you cheat on Lily with her?"

James was taken aback at the question, clearly underestimating Peter's truth or dare skills, "No, because Lily is my ideal girl." He grinned, "Remus-"

"Truth."

"Geez you're no fun-" as Remus was about to object James quickly spoke over him, "who did you go on the date with?"

Remus drank his shot, surprising the other two, "if it turns into an actual relationship then I'll tell you."

"Peter, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

James rolled his eyes but they both ignored him, "Okay... who do you have a crush on right now?"

Instead of drinking his shot like they expected, he almost silently stuttered, "M-M-Marlene... Marlene McKinnon."

James laughed, "Pete's going for the big girls," to which Remus slapped his arm.

"I'm sure she wouldn't like us talking about her measurements like that, you know." He said seriously, but James' laughter was too contagious and he started to giggle a little.

"I can't help who I like!" He burst out.

The other two shut up.

"It's not that it- it's ithahaha," James started laughing, and so did Remus.

After quite a few (hundred, joke joke) shots they were both a little bit tipsy, and Peter hadn't drank any so Remus and James finished his shot together.

Just then Sirius came in, and he sighed. His friends drunk was not something that was that great. They usually broke things and did stupid stuff and then regret it in the morning. What was worse was that they didn't even invite him to whatever drinking game they played!

As they were all getting into bed, Sirius felt something sticky.

"GUYS I SWEAR TO GOD YOU ARE ALL GOING TO FUCKING DIE RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW- NO GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE JAMES AND GIVE ME YOUR BED I AM NOT SLEEPING IN THAT!" Could be heard echoing through the Gryiffindor tower, as well as a few screams and laughs.
