The happy ending
jegulily are nerds. huge, giant, nerds. but in very different ways.
lily is a nerd in the sense she spends most of her time in the library, planning her career and studying for classes, obsessing over fictional books, playing chess, reading lord of the rings a million times, practices potion making for fun and likes to make the same potion over and over, gets excited over quidditch stats and making types of plays but finds watching the actual game boring
regulus is a nerd in the sense he obsesses over classical music and relentlessly learns compositions, secretly loves classic romance books and uses them to work out how to socialise, spends all his time studying or on independent projects usually related to something in one of his classes, was ojce given a cigarette and his first thought was to dissect it open
james is a nerd in the sense he obsessively watched star wars over and over and then brought every piece of merch he could find, always gets top marks in everything, willingly reads extremely high level transfiguration books for fun all the time, spends all day working out quidditch stats, and had a map making phase as a kid (which he still has)
Sirius Black about his brother. “He’s so annoying. He’s the favourite. Always a goody two shoes. Speaks five languages. It’s always Regulus this, Regulus that.” Then cut to- Regulus and Pandora in a shopping trolley that Pandora painted and covered in flowers, swearing like sailor in French, zooming down the moving staircases, while Evan and Barty raced them and the rest of the house cheering for who they thought would win. Cut to- Sirius Black, “he’s just so innocent and nice, never a disappointment, the deserving heir of the Blacks. Sometimes I think that he has never ever done anything with his life except please them, like there’s no other point for his existence.” Cut to- half of Slytherin house running to the dungeons smelling of champagne because both trolleys hit the celebration drinks stand and a teacher heard-
"Remus and James bonding over liking the Black Brothers" blah blah, give me Regulus and Sirius muttering to each other in French whenever either of their respective crushes does literally anything. Give me the Black Brothers being so beyond fucked with who they like that they turn to each other
BAND AU BAND AU!!

POV’s
Harry, making the 173871th mistake in potions: fuck, what did I do.
Draco, his partner: you genuinely need to be studied because how the fuck.
Barty: Potter, you like Regulus, right?
James: Wha, n-no, what are you on about?
Barty: Okay, now that's sorted, do you want to fake date me?
James: Barty, I'm flattered but I have feelings for someone else.
Barty: Yeah I know, Regulus, that's the whole point.
Barty: Also, I said fake date Potter, get your hearing checked.
James: I'm sorry, but why would we fake date?
Barty: Salazar, I don't get what Regulus sees in you, you're as dense as fucking brick.
James: What?
Barty: I guess I have to spell it out to you. I am Regulus's ex. If we pretend to date it will make him so jealous. He'll see straight through it, realise what you are doing and you'll be going out in a few weeks.
James: Wait, what's the catch?
Barty: Catch? That is litterally it?
James: That plan doesn't benefit you at all? Of course there's a catch?
Barty: Oh, but you see it very much benefits me because Evan is going to react the exact same way as Regulus, towards me.
Regulus "Did you know how hard I fought to keep you?" Black
And James "I was always yours" Potter
James: Regulus...
Regulus: Oh no, 'Regulus' in B flat.
Regulus: You're disappointed.
