It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

Pink – Glitter in the air

Spying for the Order

A knock on the door made Lina jump up in surprise. Quickly grabbing her wand in her hand, she made her way towards it. "Who is it?" she asked.

"Lina, it's me Regulus. I'm a Slytherin and Death Eater and I kissed you the first time after Slughorn's Christmas party in fifth year."

Grabbing the handle, she opened the door and let out a little yelp.

"Oh Merlin, Reg what happened?" she asked while she let him inside.

"It's nothing. Don't you worry about it." He said, making his way towards her couch slowly.

Shaking her head, she quickly closed the door and took a seat next to him.

He had a large cut above his right eye and a split lip and what appeared to be a black eye as well. Placing her hand on his cheek, she felt him lean in and she gently rubbed her thumb against his cheek.

"I am really okay. It's not so bad," he said, noticing the look in her eyes.

Lina nodded her head but she did not really believe him. She pulled out her wand and placed it against his wounds, softly mutterings spells.

Regulus knew immediately that they had worked because all the pain stopped and his face felt normal again.

"I really need to learn those spells," he said smiling.

"What happened?" Lina asked again.

Regulus shook his head. "Can we please not do this now? I just… I swear to tell you but… I just need you so much," he said before claiming her lips into a passionate kiss.

Lina sighed softly and she felt Reg wrap his arms around her body, pulling her as close as possible to his own body. He leaned against her and pushed her down on the couch, his mouth trailing kisses on her face and towards her neck. Her hands glided under his shirt and she felt his muscles flex under her touch.

She felt him tugging at her shirt while he tried to get it off, but Lina was impatient so she pulled out his wand from his pocket and with a flick of it, both their shirts were off.

He looked at her in wonder for a couple of seconds before smiling and kissing her again. His hands trailed over her breasts, her sides and her stomach. Her nails were digging into his back and he let out a soft groan. Smirking at the sound, she wrapped her legs around him, silently thanking Merlin for the fact she was wearing a skirt, and pushed her lower body against his manhood.

His teeth grazed her neckline and then he bite down, a little yelp escaped Lina's mouth and she knew he was just letting her know what he thought of her teasing.

Her hands found his waistline and she tugged at his pants, trying to get them off. She wanted him now, she needed him or she would go crazy. Lina was certain of it; she could feel his mouth smirking against her neck, knowing very well what he was doing to her.

"Reg, please?" she whispered.

He stopped his foundling of her neck and his grey eyes found hers. She noticed the lust, passion but above love in them. He kissed her slowly on the lips, her mouth opening and their tongues met. She felt his hands gliding up her thighs pulling her panties down and she heard him removing his pants.

And then in one swift move he was inside her; she let out little gasp but quickly started to match his movements. Her legs wrapped around his back, she pulled him deeper inside her. Their gasps came out in short breaths and she knew he would not be able to hold out very long. Racking her nails across his back, she kissed him fierily and just when he was about to come, she whispered in his ear: "I love you." Something she had never said to him before…

They lay together on the couch, which they had enlarged, their arms wrapped around each other, in an afterglow.

"Did you mean it?" Regulus asked, stopping his cherishing of her stomach.

Her green eyes found his grey ones and she nodded.

Regulus kissed her gently on the mouth. "I love you too," he whispered against her lips.

Nodding her head in response, she kissed him back.

She knew Regulus said it because he meant it and not because he thought it was something she longed to hear. Lina saw it clearly in his eyes.

Her fingers trailed his Dark Mark, that was still flaming red and she gently kissed it.

"So, do you want to tell me who it was that hit you?" she whispered.

Regulus stretched an arm above his head and nodded.

"I went to see Dumbledore. We talked for a very long time and at the end he asked me if I wanted to become a spy for the Order."

"What did you say?"

"I had been thinking about this a lot lately, every since you told me the message from Dumbledore…. And … I decided to do it."

Lina wrapped her arms tightly around his body and placed her head in the crock of his neck.

"Will it be safe?"

"There is always a chance that I will be discovered. It's a possibility, but Dumbledore decided that it would be for the best if no one from the Order knows who exactly the spy is."

"What does that mean?"

"It means that they will never see me, I will directly go to Dumbledore and not the Order. It's safer for everyone." Regulus spoke, kissing her head softly.

Lina nodded, indicating that she understood.

"So who hit you if you've only seen Dumbledore? It wasn't Dumbledore, was it?" she asked, chuckling slightly. The idea of Dumbledore hitting someone was absurd.

"It was Sirius." He said softly.

"Your brother? Sirius did that to you?" Lina asked, shocked by the fact.

"Dumbledore had invited Sirius to come as well; he said Sirius at least should know who was going to be the spy."

"He was not happy, I presume?"

Regulus shook his head. "He was furious. Wanted to know how long I had been a Death Eater and why I had taken the mark. He thought I would have never taken it. I guess he didn't know me as well as he thought." Regulus said, shrugging his shoulders.

"What did he say when you told him?"

"I told him everything. About the death treat above his head and above our parents heads. The fact that I had no choice but to do it or they would kill him. That they forced me to take it. How I only wanted to keep all of us safe."

"And then what?" Lina asked, afraid to hear the answer.

"He cried. My big brother cried. Told me I was an idiot, that I should have never done it for him and especially not for our parents. He is terrified that someone is going to find out I'm the spy and that I'll turn up dead. He told Dumbledore, that he didn't want me to be the spy. Dumbledore talked to him for a very long time and he made Sirius see some reason. Only Sirius, Dumbledore and you know that I'm the spy and that's always going to stay that way."

"But how are you going to give information?"

"Now that is something that still needs to be discussed. Probably every so often I'm going to see Dumbledore and tell him everything I found out."

"I can help. You can tell me and I'll tell the Order." Lina said, her eyes sparkling.

Regulus furiously shook his head.

"No, Sirius suggested that as well but I can't let you do that. You would be a too large risk. If someone would find out you'll both end up dead."

"I understand but promise me you'll be careful?"

In response Regulus kissed her and gave Lina all the answers she needed.
