okay imagine after The Prank, Remus starts hanging out with the Slytherin Skittles. He obviously still hangs out with James and Peter, and Lily, Marlene, and Mary, but wherever they are, Sirius tends to follow. So he hangs out with the Skittles. And of course he won't tell them exactly what he and Sirius are arguing about, so he just says it was a prank. A bad prank. A disastrous one.
And it's obviously a new dynamic between the Skittles and Remus. Of course, his friends are fun and free and love pulling off insane pranks, but the Slytherins... they've actually got a bit of crazy to them.
So Barty, my crazy genius, decides that Regulus and Remus should fake-date to get back at Sirius. It's genius -- Sirius's ex-best friend (and still crush that 'no one knows about') dating his brother. Absolutely genius.
And Remus hates Sirius so much -- hates him because he could never hate him, even after what he did -- decides to go along with it.
So Regulus and Remus show up at the Great Hall, holding hands and looking all love-dovey. Barty is giggling so hard he almost gives it away. Sirius is glaring at them from the Gryffindor table, clutching his knife so hard his knuckles are bone white.
But James isn't looking at them at all. And now he won't talk to Remus, either.
Because James has been in love with Regulus for a while now, but he hasn't told anyone. And one of his best mates is holding Regulus's hand, and he wishes so hard it was him instead.
