Chapter 27

                                    

                                          
Hey everyone!
I'm excited to bring you a double update today! Things are really starting to heat up in this chapter. Regulus meets up with Andromeda and Ted, and you'll see how their discussions unfold. Plus, there's a significant moment between Regulus and Sirius that you won't want to miss—trust me, Sirius' reaction is a game-changer!
I have to say, every chapter I write from here on out has me on the edge of my seat. The stakes are rising, and I can't wait for you all to experience the tension building in the story. I'm also planning to include a chapter with a dramatic attack soon, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on that direction. How do you think the characters will handle the mounting danger?
As always, your feedback means the world to me, so don't hold back! Enjoy the read!

It was finally the last trip of thier fifth year. Regulus wakes up and gets ready. As he was about to leave his dorm he looked at the sleeping forms of his dorm mates, while he didn't like them he was glad he didn't move up to his brother's dorm. He still managed to hear from them about all of the things that were being said around the school especially by the junior death eaters. When he entered the common room he scanned it. Finding all his friends there he walks toward them. 
"Hey guys," Regulus says plopping down on the nearest sofa "What are your plans for today?" 
"Going to Zonkos of course!" Sirius replies smirking 
"You and your Zonkos!" Dorcas says "Do you guys ever get tired of pranks?" 
 Sirius let out a laugh, leaning back on the arm of the sofa, his carefree attitude radiating as usual. "Why would we? It's the only thing keeping this place from turning into a madhouse with all the exams and—"
"The Dark Lord's supporters," Mary interjected with a dark tone, crossing her arms as she leaned against the fireplace. "You've heard what they've been saying, haven't you?"
Regulus shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his eyes flicking to Mary. "Of course I have," he said quietly. "It's hard to avoid it."
"Especially when they're everywhere," Dorcas added bitterly, glancing at Marlene, who nodded in agreement.
Sirius's smirk faded slightly, his expression becoming more serious. "Yeah, well, we don't have to think about them today, do we? We're going to Hogsmeade, not a Death Eater rally."
"Easier for you to say, Sirius," Regulus muttered under his breath knowing what he was about to do 
"What was that?" Sirius asked 
"Nothing Siri," Regulus replied looking up sheepishly "What about you girls? Meeting up with Emmline and Hestia I presume?" 
"Yes just after breakfast. We wanted to go to the village together," Mary says. 
"You seem to be asking all of us questions and not telling us about your plans Reg," Lily adds 
"I'm meeting with Andy," Regulus replies "She wrote to me sometime last week. I told her about the Hogsmeade trip and asked if she would like to come. Her and her husband Ted are coming." 
"Andy is coming and you didn't tell me Reggie?" Sirius asked almost offended by the thought 
"Yes?" Regulus replies sheepishly "You've met her before during the hogsmeade trips, let me be. Plus its time for breakfast common." 
The group rose from their seats, making their way out of the common room, the usual buzz of Hogwarts enveloping them as they walked toward the Great Hall for breakfast. Sirius shot Regulus a curious look, still not quite over the fact that Regulus hadn't mentioned Andromeda's visit. But Regulus had other things on his mind. The truth was, meeting with Andromeda and Ted was only part of his plan for the day, and what lay ahead had been weighing heavily on him for weeks now.
