Paulie was sure that everyone had has been at Emmeline and Mary’s by now, it’d been hours since they’d taken off for the mission. It was an important mission, one that did require speed once put into motion and that meant it had to have wrapped up. She was eager to see Emmeline and eager to see if they’d be able to actually put the safe house she’d been working on today to use. Moody had been hesitant to pass the key onto her at first, always having been extra watchful of the safe houses, but he hadn’t the time to prepare it and Paulie had seemed connected enough to who’d be taking it. She was probably the best person for the task, and she was thankful to keep busy while waiting for the news.  Paulie was confident that Regulus would help them, but she hadn’t exactly gotten word on it. She didn’t expect it, there were much more important things to focus on as Emmeline surely needed the care and attention after what she’d been put through. Everything was finished though, prepared to the best of her abilities and she’d head over to meet with everyone, see how it all went.

Nervously she approached the door, using the appropriate charms to open it knowing that she didn’t want to bother anyone inside. Paulie slide the key to the safe house into her pocket and began looking around. Everyone seemed to be around, but she was glad that this time it was over good news. The mood in the building had been much more cheery and lighthearted than it had been the last few days. It was a good change, a change that Mary deserved, and she was happy that things were starting to look up for her. Finally, she’d spotted the person she was worried about being here at all. Regulus, he was standing amongst the Potter’s, they must have talked earlier for him to be lingering about. Maybe he’d made some friends, maybe he’d be able to reconnect with his brother after all this, that’d be a nice outcome if Sirius would allow it. " Hey, Regulus! You’re here, how are you? Are you okay?”  Paulie slowly approached, resisting the urge to just tackle him in a hug, that’d probably draw too much attention.

After the events with Professor Oddpick, Narcissa had felt more off-balance than she ever had before. She knew that there was a war in theory but she hadn’t thought about how it would actually effect their lives. Until she watched how certain members of the castle walked about with such smug expressions on their faces. That made it seem so much more real and brought to her mind a very alarming prospect: what about her family members who might support the cause? It was no secret that her parents did, in word if not in action. And Bella . . . Cissa was under no illusions about her sister’s involvement. But Regulus - he would be pressured into it, surely, by his own parents. And she could lose him.

She hurried down the corridors, eyes scanning the passing students in search of her cousin. She had to make sure that he wasn’t doing anything foolish. When she spotted him, her pace increased until she was near enough to grab his hand, hissing at him, “I need you.” She knew he’d come, because he always did, so she pulled him into an empty classroom and shut the door behind them, using a silencing charm to ensure their privacy. “Regulus, you’re not - tell me you’re not involved with this - with them.” She couldn’t even bring herself to say the words; it would be too real if she had to say Death Eaters.

Remus had been waiting for Sirius to get home for half an hour. He didn’t like waiting, didn’t like when Sirius wasn’t home; the flat felt empty, boring. So he folded laundry, did the dishes, tried and failed to do handstands for ten minutes. He finally got bored and sat down with a book.

Naturally, the minute he got comfortable, there was a knock at the door.

He hopped right up, rolling his eyes, thinking that Sirius was knocking since he’d left his keys at home-- which had been on the floor where he had dropped them the previous night-- and opened the door, holding the keys in one hand. “Looking for these?”

He wasn’t. Because it wasn’t Sirius standing in the door. It was Regulus.

Remus took an involuntary step backwards. Avery must have told him. That’s why he was here. He looked to see if Regulus was holding his wand, and he wasn’t. He relaxed the slightest fraction, but still looked ready to run as he met Regulus’ gaze. 

“Uh, Sirius isn’t here,” he said awkwardly. “He’s still at work...”
