   Summary

   After Walburga and Orion discover Regulus's secret, they torture both brothers until they make a run for it. Regulus is on the brink of death when they make it to Potter Manor. After that day, Regulus has a hard time leaving his room and speaking. Sirius is convinced that Regulus hates James, which is why he asks him to keep his distance for the time being. James obliges, given the fragile circumstances, but a night encounter with Regulus changes everything. Regulus talks to him, he even graces him with a smile.

   James is a lovesick, oblivious fool who wants to help. (Emphasis on oblivious)
