Chapter Text
Harry Potter just got from an argument with uncle Vernon and aunt petunia. First of all, he blowed up aunt Marge (which is actually Vernon's sister). All the family were so scared that it was almost funny at this point. And the uncle Vernon said that he was not allowed to do magic outside of school and some other thing that he did not listen to. He was so angry he run out of Privet Drive and started to go somewhere. Harry did not care where he’d go, he just wanted to go somewhere. He almost forgot to bring his cat Midnight! Honestly, he is the only thing that can make him smile outside of Hogwarts. But, even with the little guy walking right next to Harry, he was still so angry he didn’t really see where he was going. He was thinking where he could go when the idea of the Leaky cauldron came up to his mind. That’s when he fell over literally nothing (like wtf) and his cat was so, so worried! Honestly, Midnight's so pretty and caring. Too bad for the boy that the little black cat in front of him isn’t really a cat…
“He looks so much like James it’s crazy…” Regulus black thinks the first time he saw Harry at the adoption centre of the Diagon Alley. He literally thought the little boy right next to the Hagrid was James! But he’s dead, and he can’t do anything about that… When himself was in Hogwarts, he had a great life. He had a good friend group, and even a boyfriend! Even tho he was his brother's best friend, it was okay. Regulus hated Sirius, even if it was Regulus who his parents preferred, he thought a lot of time that the boy who was charismatic, hot and all of that had a better life. Until 4th year… Actually it was his 4th year and their 5th year. But In that time, everything had changed. Sirius, who decided to join the Death Eater, like most of the Blacks, just ended up breaking the most popular friendship of the whole school. James now hated all the Black, and broke up with Regulus. He now hated him, and even felt disgust for Regulus. He quit the marauders to built a new friend group, but absolutely wanted to include Remus in it. James wanted him to break up with Sirius, thing he did. Well James thought he did. Instead, Remus decided to join the Death Eater camp to stay and protect Sirius from The Dark Lord.
Until there was another person to join the DE. Peter. As someone who always preferred Sirius more to any marauders, he wanted to venge him. He decided to make something huge, really huge, like the pranks they used to make back at the time. He really wanted to, but didn’t know what. Until 1980.
One day, suddenly, back in 5th grade, James, like he was seeing her from the first time, saw Lily Evan like no one could see her. He fell in love with her. It made a lot of time and efforts to make Lily love him back, but he finally accomplished his mission and, in the future, they got married and had a child in 1980. The baby looked just like his father, but had her mother's eyes. Harry was beautiful.
Until, the October 31, when Harry was one year old, The Dark lord himself got into the house to kill them all. Even if Voldemort had another plan on his head than Peter, he didn’t complain once about how long it took. It’s only when he saw the eyes of terror is James eye's that he finally was satisfied. He didn’t tell Regulus nor Remus about this plan, he thought they would be okay about this, that it’ll be a great surprise, but no, it only ruined their lives.
When Regulus saw Harry for the first time, he re-lived this moment of shock when he learned about James's death over and over again in a really short amount of time. It’s when Harry immediately said “I want him, I want him!” to Hagrid that he felt like all of his past disappeared. But, at Hogwarts, he almost never felt good. It was because of Ron's rat. Regulus knew it was Peter Pettigrew, he knew it, and every time he saw it, he would just want to break every bone in his little body. Thankfully, him and Harry became friends fast, and he would comfort his little Midnight every time he had a crisis. Every time Regulus saw that Harry wasn’t feeling good, he would be like his doctor. It happened the minute Harry touched Midnight that he felled over air and the little cat took care of him as great as he could.
That’s why, that time, when Harry felled, he was at his best and was laughing, because it reminded him of that day, one of the most precious day in his life.
