Split Personalities // Natalie and Regulus
On Mission
December 20th

When Natalie had gotten word that she was to be called for a mission, she had been excited. She hoped the Dark Lord had heard of her attempts to prove her worth, her missions with Barty, Rod, and Evan and even her attempt to intimidate young Miss Pandora, and honored her with an assignment all her own. That was simply one step closer to making sure when the Death Eaters won, Natalie would be in place to protect the people she cared about.
Instead, she found out she had been assigned to a recon escapade with Regulus Black, which basically added up to hours outside in the damp cold watching the house of a suspected Aversio member. It wasn’t exactly the sort of assignment she had been hoping for, but it wasn’t the worst. At least the company wasn’t too bad.
Regulus and Natalie had grown up around each other, as pureblood children tended to do. They had been cordial for years, but had never quite run in the same social circles. Regulus often came off as stuffy, especially when compared to his brother, but Natalie understood what it was like to be overlooked. She had been overlooked many times, especially now. Perhaps it would do them both good to get to know each other better. Natalie rubbed her hands together, breathing heavily into them to warm them.
“They never tell you these Death Eater missions are so cold, do they?” Natalie had thought to put on her warmest sweater, but she hadn’t grabbed anything more than her finger-less Hufflepuff gloves. She grinned at him, turning her eyes back to the house in question. “So, how long are we supposed to sit here before we either freeze or find something out? Because at this rate I’m halfway convinced the house is abandoned.”
