However, his attention was diverted when the next princess, Moana, arrived. The men returned to their seats as she began her passionate verse.
When you think that you're in too deep
And all what you want to do is weep
The seer laughed brokenly as he recalled every instance in which he cried. He was embarrassed to say that the list was longer than the average man's.
Sirius could only recall crying in his very early childhood and when the Potters had perished, both his friends and James' parents.
Regulus, fortunately or unfortunately, couldn't remember the last time he cried.
We'll keep what you reap
Even if it arrives in a heap
There were more chuckles as they all knew that emotions were very messy.
We tell the people that made you weep
That we think them as creeps
Self-deprecating smiles appeared on Bruno and Regulus' faces as they were reminded that they were people that others found creepy.
Sirius sent them sympathetic looks.
We'll all be here when life gets steep
"Thank you!" Bruno exclaimed with feeling. He could never get over the amount of support he received now. Regulus looked at Sirius longingly. Sirius looked at him as well.
We want to follow you wherever you leap
Sirius could think of all the pranks he and the different girls could pull if they let him and Bruno was thinking of the characters he could create from their inspiration. Regulus only wished for their company on a one-on-one basis to get to know them all.
Moana's verse came to an end as she presented the men a Nosegay each. Regulus spotted a small crowd of robed figures. Why were they facing them and why did they line themselves amongst the edge?
"Look!" the pianist exclaimed, pointing the figures out as he threw up a shield.
"Reg, they've got a shield over themselves too!" Sirius added, copying his brother. The others readied their own magics.
