"Potter?" A voice interrupted him from his thoughts and of course, as the universe had nothing better to do than play tricks on him, Regulus Black stood in front of him with a look of shock on his elegant features. "What are you doing here?"
James rolled his eyes, feeling anger bubbling up in his chest, which wasn't uncommon around Regulus. He quelled his temper, at least for now, and raised the tray at Regulus. He could only hope his face hadn't betrayed him and that he looked as bored as he was trying to appear.

She had refused his many attempts at convincing her as to why he would have been a great date but being amongst the party with her, under Slughorn's cheerful insistence, would have to be enough.

He had been trudging out of the Potions classroom, confused and defeated after Regulus hadn't shown up to their tutoring session for the second week in a row when the professor had asked him.

He agreed almost begrudgingly, trying to hide how irritated he was. Not only had he royally screwed up the sleeping draught again and again, he was embarrassed to have waited and waited in the dungeons for Regulus Black, of all people. What had he even been waiting for? Had he been waiting for Regulus to make him feel stupid and incompetent; or for Regulus to say something rude and arrogant, maybe something under his breath in French, allow James to shove him against something and-
