365 Days of Regulus

Jessica Dawn

June 3 - What was the last movie you saw?


"Sirius this isn't a reward! This is terrifying!" Regulus had yelled while his brother gripped his wrist tightly, dragging him down the narrow path.

"Come on, Reg. Live a little - Not only did you make the team, but you set a school record. You caught the snitch in 42 seconds! This will be fun! You deserve to have a little bit of fun." Sirius had explained, though he didn't let up on his younger brother. He'd already brought him into Hogsmeade, using one of the secret paths that the Marauders had discovered, and now was leading him into the nearby muggle village to go to the cinema.

"Sirius - If we're caught - If anybody realizes that we're not at school right now they'll - We'll be in detention for the rest of the year! They'll write Mother!" Regulus was practically pleading now, pulling away from Sirius with all of his strength.

Sirius just shook his head, pulling even harder as the village came into sight, "Come on, Regulus. It's fun. You've never even seen a muggle movie before."

"And I don't want to!"

"They're bloody brilliant! I've seen the first one in this series. The Godfather. It's all about this mob-"

Regulus was practically trembling, shaking his head. "This is fun to you. It isn't fun to me. Fun to me was catching the snitch in 42 seconds. That was all the reward I needed! Please-"

Sirius only shook his head again, "Fight with me on this and I'll just have to carry you in. You need to experience something outside of your own comfort zone. You believe everything Mother and Father tell you about muggles because you don't know any better. I know you'll love it."
