Summary
Before James can stop himself, he reaches a hand out and grasps his shoulder, turning him slightly as James quietly asks, "Cassie? Is that you?"
The black-haired man smiles wryly as they make eye contact, the alcohol loosening his tongue as he teases, "What? Do I look like your girlfriend?"
James shook his head, his eyes wide as he takes in all of the man's features, "No, my friend's late sister. I can't believe it, you could be her twin... Your face, your eyes... Just your hair is different. And you're older."
The not-twin rolls his eyes, "My name is Regulus. I don't look like a ghost, do I?" He reaches out and places a hand on James' chest. "See? Warm."
James immediately steps back, shaking his head, realizing he must seem like a massive creep right now, "Sorry, I... Got confused."
He backs off completely and disappears into the crowd before Regulus can even ask his name.
***
Or, Regulus looks a lot like Sirius' sister, Cassiopeia, who died ten years ago when he and James were away at boarding school. The sister James secretly always loved. James becomes obsessed, unraveling at the seams as he tries to find out everything about this man and uncovers a dark secret.
