AN: Reviews are always welcome!

I sat on the sofa, with my legs pulled up, lying against Lily whilst she held my hands in hers.

We had the telly on (since Lily said it'd be a good distraction), but as hard as I tried I couldn't focus on whatever was going on whichever show we were watching.

I glanced at the ticking clock on the wall for about the hundredth time. It'd been almost two hours since Regulus and Sirius left.

We had everything ready at my place. Five pitchers of water on the kitchen table, Regulus's packed trunk, and the appropriate spells placed on the apartment to keep the bad guys away.

If everything went according to plan, Regulus and Sirius would come back to my place with the help of their house elf Kreacher, almost unharmed, with one of Voldemort's Horcruxes in their possession. If everything went according to plan. I couldn't fathom the thought of something going wrong. Because if anything did, chances were said thing would go terribly wrong.

How I wished I could've gone along with them, I knew it wasn't a good idea though, since I couldn't do magic, I'd gone down easy when I was shot down about it.

After the boys came back, Regulus was supposed to go into hiding at a safe house, and let the Death Eaters think he was dead, it would probably work until we found a way to destroy the Horcrux, then Voldemort would probably realise something was up. The whole ordeal was nerve-wracking.

There was a heavy knock on the door.

I sat up so fast, my head hurt. Was it them?

Lily pulled out her wand and raced to the door. I heard her ask the security question, before opening the door fully and letting two figures in.

I was relieved to see both Regulus and Sirius alive, but they were not in a good state. Sirius's face was drained of all colour and he was crying out from the unquenchable thirst he was experiencing, and holding on to his brother for dear life. Reg's face was pale too, he was obviously shaken at seeing his brother in such a state.

Before I could even react, Lily had brought one of the pitchers to Sirius, who had poured it down his face, almost like he was trying to drown himself with it.

Regulus stared at his brother worried, but made his way to my side as soon as he spotted me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held on to him tightly.

"Bow, I'm taking Sirius to the hospital to get a serum." Lily said to me quickly.

I nodded absentmindedly as my sister led Sirius out the door.

Reg sat on the sofa, staring at the closed door, as if longing to stay with his brother.

"Is Kreacher alright?" I asked.

Regulus seemed startled by my voice. "Yeah, yeah, he went back to Grimmauld Place, Mother would get suspicious if he was gone for too long."

I nodded. "You want a drink?"

I didn't wait for an answer before going into the kitchen to fill two glasses of water, lord knows we both needed some strength.

I went back into the living room to find Regulus sitting gloomily, his head bowed down.

I set the glasses on the coffee table before sitting next to my boyfriend.

Then, with a small gasp I realised he was staring at a locket in his hand. "Is that...?"

Reg nodded and ran the chain through his hand. "It feels very..."

"I feel it too."

There was a dark aura surrounding the silver locket. It was like a weight coming down on us. It's almost as if it were angry at us.

"This is a piece of his soul." Regulus stated, still staring at the Horcrux.

"Is this the only one?"

"I don't know for sure. I'd say there's at least one more."

I looped my arm through Reg's, my body pressing against his. "Where are we going to keep it? Until we figure out a way to destroy it?"

"I'm pretty sure my brother's going to want to turn it over to Dumbledore as soon as possible."

"Hm, we'll have to figure that one out." I laid my head on his shoulder, and after a long pause I said, "I had a vision."

Reg's attention seemed to finally drift from the locket. "Involuntarily?"

I nodded. "It happened... when my sister told me she was pregnant."

"Oh."

"Yeah. I saw her and James dying, and their baby was there, but I'm not sure anything will happen to him." I could barely get the words out.

Regulus took my hand. "Have you told them?"

I shook my head. "I don't want to worry them more than what they already do. I will though. I know I have until at least before the baby's born."

"I think you should tell them now, though. At least to get it off your chest, the Olympics are soon, you need your mind to be in the right place."

He was right. "Even if I tell them, I'll still have the fact that my sister might die hanging over my head."

"We have time, though. We can save them."

I bit my lip. "I just, I don't want my sister to die." I choked out as I felt the tears pool in my eyes.

Regulus put his arm around me and pulled me into his chest as I wept. I couldn't stand thinking about Lily dying. My only comfort at the moment was Reg rubbing my back softly and kissing the top of my head.

The place where Regulus was hiding was a small cabin in a Muggle town in the north of Scotland. The town itself was as inconspicuous as they came, it wasn't small enough so that everyone knew each other, but it wasn't big enough for a wizard to just happen to be there. The place was protected by the Fidelius charm, which I was told made it invisible to anyone who didn't know its location.

I felt bad about Regulus having to stay holed up there for god knows how long, so I tried to make the place as comfortable and nice as possible. It was tastefully decorated, with some nice paintings, and quite a few pictures hanging from the walls. Every soft surface was comfortable, and the kitchen was quite well-equipped (though I knew Reg would probably barely use it).

The niceness of the place also made me want to spend a lot of time there (I had to admit Reg had something to do with it too), but my sister had advised me not to spend a lot of time there, I wasn't sure though, if it was for the sake of my safety, or because she didn't want me to get pregnant (she didn't have to worry about that yet though).

The first week Reg was there, I was there every day, but now I only stopped by a few times a week. I couldn't really afford being there so much, with the much more intense training I was undergoing at the rink.

My favourite thing about Regulus's place (apart from him), was the fact that I had my own private rink. I mean, it wasn't Olympic sized, but it was something. I'll explain, next to Reg's cabin there was a small lake, that since it was so cold there in winter, would freeze, and I used it to skate sometimes. In fact, I'd prepared my skating bag just in case I wanted to use it today.

I didn't spot Regulus as I stepped out of the chimney, I guessed he was in the bathroom or something, and as I looked out the window to the perfect ice surface I realised Regulus had charmed the ice to get magically Zambonied, and I smiled. He knew me so well. So he'd probably understand why I made a beeline for the lake without waiting for him.

I laced up my boots as fast as I could, and quickly took to the ice. Ugh, it felt so nice to skate on a smooth surface.

I started with some stroking, and I quickly decided to leave jumps aside for the time being, work on my basic skating skills, I started working on some steps and turns when I heard music start playing. But not just any music, Princess Leia's Theme aka, my short program music.

I turned to see Regulus standing at at the edge of the lake, a record player on a blanket in the snow next to him.

I skated over to him.

"You like it?" He asked as I came within earshot.

I smiled. "Yes! How'd you get the record?"

"I asked Sirius to get it for me." He seemed tense at the mention of his brother.

I hugged Regulus. "Thank you."

"Now I want to finally see that short." He requested.

I pulled away from him, with a coy smile. I didn't have the heart to tell him my short program was actually an arrangement of two pieces from the Star Wars soundtrack. "Okay."

I'd have to improvise a bit, but I could manage.

I took my starting position as Regulus played the music back. Okay, simple. Double Axel, triple Salchow-double Loop, triple Flip. Easy peasy.

I focused on the program.

As I finished – all jumps clean by the way – Regulus had already broken out in applause.

I skated over to him, thinking about how amazing I would feel if in every competition I went over to the boards to see Reg's face.

Regulus stumbled onto the ice and swept me off my feet with a bear hug. "That was amazing! That's the program of an Olympic champion."

I blushed. "Stop!"

"But seriously, that was really great, you carry the program so well."

Wow, look at my boy knowing when a program is carried well, I have taught him well. "Thanks."

Reg looked down. "Actually. I'v been thinking, I want you to teach me to skate."

I gasped, which made Regulus look up, he let out a smile at the grin on my face. I took his face between my hands. "Are you serious?"

"I figured, it's time."

I guffawed. "Uh, it most definitely is. Oh my god, I have to get you skates and blades, ugh I wish you could go with me, but it's fine. This ice is perfect, and we'll have it all to ourselves, it'll be so fun."

I threw my arms around his neck and squeezed him tight. "Since you just gave me a really nice present, I think it's only fair that I give you a really nice present in return."

Reg frowned. "Okay..."

I grabbed my skate guards from my bag and placed them over my blades.

We both walked into the house. And I headed over to my skate bag.

As Regulus and I sat on the sofa, I took out a small box with a bow on top of it. "I absolutely adore the locket you gave me on our six month anniversary, it makes me feel like I carry a piece of you everywhere I go, and I love that feeling. So, I thought you might enjoy that feeling too. It isn't a locket, because I figured most men aren't into that, so this is the piece of jewelry I was told was the most manly." I handed over the box, which Reg opened gingerly. "I'm not proposing to you, by the way, it's just – y'know, that." I quickly added, feeling a blush creep up my cheek.

Regulus smiled broadly. I'd given him a ring. Well, more like a band, not a wedding band though. On the inside it was engraved with my name. It'd been slightly awkward getting a ring engraved with my own name, but I figured Reg would like it.

He said nothing, but hastily pulled me into a tight hug. "Thank you," he whispered.

"It's nothing, I just want you to remember that you always have me."
