Trans Regulus who has always had a raspy voice, even as a child, that becomes more prominent when he starts T at Hogwarts.
His voice always takes people by surprise because he’s so painfully quiet. The reason why he barely speaks is a tightly held secret between the Black brothers until James earns his trust & he tells him how (even now) Walburga would try to punish his “boyish voice out of him.”
A few days later Regulus receives a frantic owl about his mother’s mysterious “sudden illness” that has taken her voice entirely; leaving her irreversibly mute.
His eyes snap to the Gryffindor table to find James Potter, looking down at his breakfast with an impossibly smug smile.

Little Harry: what were you and Papa like when you first met?
James, smiling: we instantly hit it off!
Regulus: uh, no. I threatened to rip out your eyes and feed them to you.
James: ah, but that was when I knew you were the one.

Reg, scowling at James over his textbook because he's been staring at him for almost an hour and it's honestly very distracting and he's struggling to not blush: what do you want Potter?
James: a chance
Reg raises an eyebrow but doesn't reply
James: a chance to get to know you properly
Reg: you won't like what you find
James: maybe, or maybe I'll love what i find. Give me a chance. Just one chance, Regulus, please?
Reg: ...just one.

James rambling about who he's falling for, and everyone thinks it's Lily until he slips up and says "he" and Regulus, who had been desperately ignoring it looks up at him. Just in time to see James go crimson and run away
"-just so fucking perfect, you know?"
James Potter's voice carried through the stacks of the library as Regulus paused, listening intently from his now-hiding space, staring at the words on his open book but not taking in a single syllable.
"I just...I feel like I'm invisible. Like no matter what I do, I'll never be worthy. Like, why is it the one person I fancy just thinks nothing of me, Moony? Like...just looks right through me?"
Regulus snorted a bit, unable to hear Remus Lupin's much quieter response. Of course Potter was still waxing poetic about Evans. of course he couldn't let her go. Of course.
"I know, but I just- there's nobody more amazing! So...smart, and...and gorgeous!"
More murmuring, then some shuffling as Potter and Lupin sat at a table nearby, now within Regulus's line of sight. He stared more intensely at his book, still listening closely.
"No, I...Moony, it's not just a crush. I can't even describe how I feel. Like, whenever we look at each other...I'm just...I just feel better, you know? Like I'm like light or something. It's so stupid and cheesy, I know, but I just..."
Potter's voice trailed off and Regulus chanced a glance up to see the taller boy also looking at him. Feeling himself go red all over, he quickly looked back at his book, feigning indifference.
But then Potter continued, his voice airy and distracted, as if he was almost drunk.
"Merlin, he's just so beautiful."
And at that, Regulus' couldn't help but glance's eyes snapped back up to meet James's. Because the words seemed to come from James's mouth quite without his permission. And both of them seemed to realize at the same time that James had said 'he.'
And then, before Regulus could react, James turned bright red and stuttered something about Quidditch practice before running off, leaving Regulus to stare incredulously at Remus.
"....Well. He's clearly not talking about Lily," Remus grinned, smirking at Regulus and walking away.
Omg this was such a good idea thank you for letting me write it! Keep sending ideas guys! Love you all!

James: *says something dumb*
Regulus: I swear to Merlin, you are so much like Sirius. Sometimes, I think im fucking my brother. Are you finally proud mother? Keeping up the family tradition.
James: I just wanted to know whether ice cream is a soup, not that you are the result of incest
