Spicks and Specks

This is my collection of one-shots for the OC Boot Camp Challenge. Some are in the Reassembly universe, some are not. Either way, it's all good, clean fun.

10. Chapter 10

I do not own this.

Colour (Reassembly, fall 1978)

Regulus did not expect anything out of the ordinary when he went on his Head Boy patrols that night in November. That is, until he came across the first-year Gryffindor in the hallway near the Charms classroom.

"What are you doing out of your tower?" he asked.

She gave a grim smile, and he recognized her as the Bel Latham that Jade hung around with. "Looking for you."

"Why ever for?" He was not significant, just a trapped Death Eater who had never wanted to join to begin with.

"To give you this." She grabbed his wrist, and her eyes were, rather than their normal intense blue, a swirl of all colours and none, the mark of a true seer. " You will be placed in the position of life and death over an auburn-haired girl. If she lives, you live. If she dies, you die. So mote it be."

Regulus was stunned. This was not what he had expected when he had begun his patrols that night.
