Several days had passed since the attack on Hogsmeade. Several days was an ample amount of time to recover from the disappointment, so the date was set for Regulus to visit Evan at his flat. Although Regulus had been trying to practice spells at Grimmauld Place, pillows did not hold up as well against hexes as they did more harmless charms, and there was no comparison to dueling with another person. Pillows did not require one to be quite as quick and reactive.
Although he knew he could Floo over -- which would have been more practical, given that Evan lived in Muggle London, just as Regulus did -- the novelty of Apparating had yet to wear off. He had enjoyed only a month of Apparition before leaving for school, and he did not feel comfortable reveling in the frivolity of needless Apparition while at home as some of his classmates had. And, well, he didn't like Flooing nearly as much.
Focusing on a discreet, tucked away place not far from Evan's flat, Regulus Apparated. From there it was only a short walk before he was standing before the door; with three steady knocks, Regulus announced his arrival.
