The parchment airplane breezed into his soup, then picked itself up and turned to face Regulus.
Quickly, he grabbed it, and turned. Hunching his shoulders to hide what he was reading, he opened the plane, holding its wings steady as they tried to squirm away.
Smile a little, Reg, or I'll think you're unhappy.
♥ -Sirius
He looked over to the Gryffindor table, but, as usual, Sirius was only paying attention to his friends. He even had his arm around that scrawny halfblood.
He didn't care if Regulus was smiling or not.
There was still plenty of time before his next class. He slipped away from the table, and went outside to sit by the lake, pulling out some parchment to try to charm it like Sirius' note. The best he could do, though, was to make a crumpled up sheet sort of shuffle a bit when he wasn't looking at it.
"Look, Reggie's all alone." Those damned Ravenclaw guys! Just because he told on them in Dark Arts and got them detention… well, they weren't supposed to pocket those stupid oracle crystals. They didn't even work!
The big one stepped on his parchment, which was trying to shuffle away and escape. "I thought you spineless snakes of Slytherin always traveled in packs."
They seemed to think that was damned clever. Regulus rolled his eyes. "Snakes have spines, genius, they just don't have limbs."
"Well, it's a good thing you do," the red-haired one said, picking Regulus up by the arm. He yelped; the bastard had a good grip. "Make it easier to chuck you in the lake."
Regulus squirmed around, trying to get to his wand, but the small one grabbed his other arm and twisted it. He opened his mouth to scream out as a gold light zipped past his eyes, and the red-haired one cried out. His glasses took on their own life, and tried to gouge out his eyes. Regulus pulled away, but before he could get his wand out, his big brother was standing over him, decking the big one.
"These boys don't seem very smart, do they, Mr. Lupin?" Potter asked casually, leaning against the tree.
"Must not be," Lupin shrugged, pocketing his wand. Oh, fuck, the scrawny halfblood saved him? "If they don't know the name Black yet."
Sirius grabbed the small one by the collar. "Don't worry, boys. As a responsible older student, I fully intend to teach them all a lesson."
"We're sorry! It won't happen again!" The red-haired one, having torn his glasses off and pitched them to the lake, grabbed his little friend, and pulled him away. They all ran off.
Sirius put his arm around Regulus. "Hey, Reg, you have something in your ear…" He flicked Regulus' ear, and opened his hand, revealing a small parchment flower.
Regulus grabbed the flower, stuffing it in his pocket. "I had that under control."
"I know you did," Sirius smiled, ruffling Regulus' hair. "But I can't stand to see anyone hurting my little brother, can I?"
Regulus couldn't keep from smiling, so he ducked his head down. Sirius would go off with his friends in a second. But.
He'd still have Sirius' flower.
