Have no clue what this plot is, lol.

Warning for violence/implied violence.


"Your armor is crooked," Sirius points out and Regulus scowls, straightening the piece that had offended his brother. "What? You can't lead us into your first battle looking like that."

Not everybody could look like his brother — handsome, windswept, princely, sitting astride his rust-colored stallion.

"I'm sure that's what they'll surrender for," Regulus mutters sarcastically, pushing his hair back from his forehead and tugging on the reins. His horse trots forward.

A horn blows in the distance and Regulus gulps as the enemy comes into view. Lines and lines of soldiers, and the trio leading them. At the head of the group is —

"King Malfoy," says Regulus as he pulls the horse to a stop, and tries to muster a cool tone. He acknowledges the other man with a courteous nod. Lucius Malfoy does not return the gesture, instead staring Regulus down with a haughty glare. It is not a requirement for him to acknowledge Regulus — after all, he is a prince and Malfoy has a higher rank — and Malfoy has always been arrogant.

Regulus feels strangely bolstered. "As my father wrote in his letter, he does not accept your terms. We won't comply with your ludicrous demands."

Malfoy's voice is frosty. "And you will come to regret that decision. You could have had peace." He waves his hand. The horns blows again, and then —

The amassed soldiers surge towards him.

Regulus does not get off of his horse; that is a reckless death wish. Instead, he turns his horse half a circle, yanks on the reins, and when he's in shouting distance, and calls to his own soldiers. "Attack!"

For a moment, there is silence, and Regulus urges his horse to break into a gallop. They're racing across the field with the enemy pursuing them. His chest heaves and he digs his heels into his stallion's flanks.

Then there is thunder, and his forces are upon him.

In the midst of it all, Regulus finds Sirius. "Not bad!" his brother shouts over the deafening roar. "But I'm still better than you!"

Regulus huffs, wheeling his horse around. He'll show Sirius who's better.
