James! *Christ.* A month of stolen nights in the Astronomy Tower, each one a secret carved from danger. Regulus is Sirius's brother. I am Sirius's best friend. The truth would be a detonation. I've relied on the Marauder's Map to move through the sleeping castle like a ghost. Tonight, I left it behind on my nightstand.
