Who: Regulus, Evan, and Neville Where: Evan's room What: Regulus comes to borrow Neville, finally Rating: TBD Status: Incomplete
Regulus had purposefully waited a bit longer to collect Neville. This was for two reasons. One, he had to decide what to do once he had him. Two, he wanted to make his interest in Neville seem to be something entirely different than what it actually was. It was difficult to leave him behind the first time, but Regulus knew it had been necessary. If he'd insisted on taking Neville immediately, then Evan would have been suspicious.
However, using Evan the way he was did not go without remorse. Regulus genuinely cared for Evan. He did. That made the situation much worse.
He knocked three times on the door, then stepped back as he waited for Evan to answer.
