Hey everyone I really can't tell you how happy I am that y'all are reading this.

Also this is going to be a very long fic. This is (story wise) the fifth chapter and I'm starting planning the eleventh chapter so just get ready for this to be an incredibly long fic.

Idk if I'll post on the night before Christmas Eve but I'll let you know once I decide.

I'm sorry but I totally edited this tonight and didn't realize that I forgot about Kreacher (again) till I was looking over the last chapter so I'm very sorry about that but there will be another house elf later on I promise.

Now I'll stop boring you with my ridiculous long A/Ns and let you read lol

Regulus was up early to pack his things back up. It felt like he just emptied this truck and now he was filling it.

"Oi, PRONGS YOU SEEN MY TIE?!" Sirius shouted for the third time that morning.

"WEREN'T YOU USING IT AS A HEADBAND? CHECK YOUR VANITY!" Regulus snorted Sirius had a vanity?!

"WHERES MY TRANSFIGURATION TEXTBOOK?!" James asked.

"I THINK ITS UNDER THE COUCH! DO YOU THINK MINNIE WOULD MIND IF I LEAVE M-"

"DOES PACKING ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SUCH A LOUD OPERATION FOR YOU TWO?!" Regulus shouted stepping out of his room to see the other's bedroom door open.

Said room was messier than before. Presumably from trying to find everything. Sirius had his trunk open in the middle of the room, he was throwing clothes in without much of a care.

James it turned out was downstairs with his truck laying open half way hanging off the stairs in a very precarious balancing act.

"yes." Sirius answered him before continuing to yell. "ARE THE RED AND YELLOW GLITTER SOCKS YOURS OR MINE?!"

"YOURS! YOU GOT THEM FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY IN FIFTH YEAR!"

OoOoOo

After everyone was (mostly) packed they had breakfast.

"alright boys go grab your stuff and I'll take you to King's Cross" Effie told them once everyone was done eating.

"thank you again for everything. I'm sorry if I ruined your Christmas holiday" he told her after the others left.

"no problem, I'm just happy you came here and got away from that house. No more of that 'did I ruin your holiday' nonsense" she gave him a a hug then motioned for him to go get his stuff. He nodded and went upstairs.

Regulus grabbed his truck and new broom (not the best broom which he surely would have gotten if he stayed at home but the same model as last year)

"hey," Sirius walked into his room, he spoke in French. "I'm glad you're here and got away from our parents. If you need anything at all, or if anyone gives you trouble tell me. Ok?"

Regulus couldn't believe what he was hearing. Ever since his third year (when the two really grew apart) he longed to hear his brother say those words and now he was.

"I will. Thank you"

"no problem we'd better get going. James will have a fit if we're late. Honestly he acts more like a true mum than Elffie does" he laughed switching back to English.

James gave a dramatic gasp, dragging his truck behind him with his broom in his other hand. "I do not!" He pretended to look offended. Regulus and Sirius snicked as James hopped on his broom to fly down the stairs but was dragged down by his truck.

He eventually managed to get downstairs without having to drag his truck down or have his broomstick get even a single scratch.

"look out!" Sirius flung his truck at the stairs hopping on it and sliding down.

Regulus chose the smart safe way and simply levitating his truck as he walked downstairs.

"boys what did I say about not being dangerous with large heavy trucks and stairs?" Elffie asked the other boys concerned.

"to be careful next time?"

"no, to not be dangerous near staircases at all" though her tone was exasperated she had an under layer of concern and love in her voice. It was odd that even when the boys did something wrong Elffie kept her kindness and loving nature to her.

"oh whatever mum. No one's hurt. You know I would never endanger my broomstick or friends" James took some floo powder and stepped into the fireplace. Elffie went next, then Sirius, then it was Regulus's turn.

"goodbye Kreacher, I'll see you for Summer holidays"

"Kreacher will miss Regulus"

Regulus stepped in the fire. He couldn't help but think of when he first stepped out of this fireplace. But soon enough he was at the wizarding town near king's cross.

OoOoOo

The trip to platform 9 3/4 was short and uneventful, they all got a few looks from muggles but nothing out of the ordinary.

Once on the platform Sirius and James sped off to where Remus was waiting for them. Regulus walked over to the train. He didn't want to be seen with the Potters if he was to keep away unwanted questions.

Regulus went to his usual compartment, he took out a new book he had gotten on their shopping spree.

wow. This book was nothing like the ones he'd read before. Sirius had told him that Remus enjoyed it. Regulus was glad he'd gotten it, it was interesting and well written.

"hi, I heard of your being disowned" Pandora Malfoy popped her head in.

Pandora never really agreed with her parents. She did just enough to stay on their good side but as far as Regulus was concerned she wasn't a true Malfoy anymore. Which is a good thing.

Honestly it was surprising how many Blacks and Malfoys ended up disowned with no one knowing. Sirius continued to be dramatic and stand out from the rest he supposed.

"hello, Pandora. Please don't tell anyone about that,"

"I won't. I only know because they wanted me to be your future wife"

He didn't see much of her at school. She was in Ravenclaw (something her parents hated) and only shared potions with him. When they weren't in classes she normally hung out with the other Ravenclaw girls in their common room. They were required to go to parties together but that was really it.

"you know I'm surprised that you didn't show up at Andromeda's house. Where'd you go?"

"I went to the Potters, that's where Sirius went"

"oh cool. So are we still going to parties together or...?"

"sure. I don't really want anyone else knowing. Figured it's smarter and safer to keep it a secret. So we'll just keep doing what we normally do"

"I told my friends I'd meet them on the train so I got to go"

Regulus nodded to her before returning to his book.

"hey reg," Evan smiled hulling his trunk into the small train compartment.

"hello Evan"

"please say your Christmas holiday was more interesting than mine" Barty demanded following Evan.

"no, not really"

"really? Wasn't Bellatrix at your house? That always makes for an interesting story"

"nothing out of the ordinary, well ordinary for her" he thought for a moment "she and Narcissa brought their boyfriends over, it was horrible having to listen to them"

"really? What happened?"

"well Cissi and Lucius are head over heels for each other and where snogging every other second. Bella and what's-his-name are the exact opposite. I'm surprised that they didn't duel each other" the three laughed and Regulus thought that maybe, just maybe, it would all be ok.

the three Slyitherins continued to chat like they normally do. Eventually eating candy and discussing school.

Do y'all like Evan and Barty? I already have a plan for them but I'd like your input too so... good Evan and Barty or bad Evan and Barty?

BTW Snape will be an antagonist/villain I'm sorry Snape lovers but sacrifices have to be made

would you like Jegulus (James x Regulus)? I've never really written too much romance but I really do enjoy that ship.

I'd just be some pinning, getting together, the others finding out, then probably/hopefully a series of cute dates, maybe a few kisses

anyway I really hope y'all liked this chapter (and the fic so far) favorite's follows and reviews (nothing changed constructive criticism is welcome I'll let you know if that changes) make my week and inspire me to keep writing sooo much. Thank you so much for reading have a lovely week, may you find great fics for you OTPs and easily avoid your NoTPs
