Chapter 57

"A-anyways I  guess I should g-"

"Regulus wait" Aurora called standing up.

She could basically feel Regulus freeze at the door. "Yeah...?" He asked quietly as if uncertain If this was a cruel joke and she would laugh in his face.

"Will...will you come in?" She asked just as quietly.

"I um- uh yeah, yeah" she door opened slowly and Regulus soflty stepped in his face was wary and nervous like a scared wild animal.

He shut the door and the two friends looked at each other from across the room, just staring.

"Do you want the butter slice? The smell is kind of making me feel sick" she asked holding out the plate to him.

"I uh- yeah sure" he approached her slowly and picked up the slice. He sighed about to put it into his mouth when Aurora started snickering.

"What?" He asked. "You still cut the crust off of your toast" she laughed.

"Oh shut up" Regulus grumbled trying to hide his smile. The two fell into silence again looking at each other in the heavy wait of no words.

"You know... I am really sorry Rory..." he murmured. Aurora paused pursing her lips together carefully.

"You want to make it up to me?" She asked soflty.

"Yes more than anything" Regulus said desperately taking a step forward showing his eagerness.

Aurora stepped closer and said. "Then listen closely".

《《《°•°•°○●○°•°•°》》》

Regulus black stood casually against the wall on the top floor of Riddle manor watching as the small house elf that was levitating a silver breakfast tray up the marble stair case.

Show time.

Regulus quickly stood up straight and began confidently striding down the hallway reaching the stairs and walking down quickly the stairs.

As the little elf passed he jabbed out his elbow as he pretended to fix his cuff causing the jug of water in the tray to knock and spill all over the ground ad the glass shattered into tiny pieces.

"Oh Merlin I am so sorry!" He cried dropping to his knees to pick up the glass.

"Oh no! Master Black please let Perri! Let perri clean up the mess or you will ruin your slacks!" The elf said placing the tray on the ledge under the grand statue behind them.

"Thankyou, my sincerest apologizes" Regulus smiled. He slipped behind the elf as it bent down to pick up the glass and quickly grabbed the breakfast tray, making his way up the stairs.

As he walked his other hand fell discreetly into his pocket pulling out a small vile of dusty purple liquid. Sleeping draught.

He quickly poured it into the tea cup watching as it dissolved with a small puff of smoke. He hid the vile in a plant on his way past and walked down the hallway to Tom's bedroom  his smart black shoes clicking against the floor as he approached the doors.

Outside stood two lower status deatheaters who had been instructed to guard Toms quarters with their lives.

"Morning boys, you're needed downstairs I'll take over from here" Regulus said with an award winning smile. The men looked at him quizzically.

"We were told that we where to guard the Dark Lords quarters and to let no one in" the slightly uglier one said "yes well now I'm telling you that you are wanted downstairs, Dark Lords commands, now go"
