Previous part First part
“We need to return to Grimmauld Place. It’s being watched, and if we’re away much longer, they’ll start getting suspicious.” Regulus looked at James sadly. He pulled the secret chest out from under the spare bedroom’s bed and removed the locking and notice-me-mot charms from it. He opened the thick iron latch and peered at the collection of Horcruxes. The locket, the ring, the cup and now the diadem. Four Horcruxes. It seemed like a lot. But Regulus had a niggling feeling that there was one missing, and he told James as much. “I don’t know why, but I just know we’re missing one.”
“Well, we’ve only got three of the four founder’s items, so maybe he found the sword?” James pondered. Regulus shook his head.
“No, everything I’ve read about the sword, not only has it been lost for hundreds of years without even the hint of a sighting, but it’s also Goblin wrought silver. I doubt it would accept a Horcrux. A Horcrux wouldn’t strengthen the sword. It would probably damage it if anything. No, I think we’re looking for something else. I’m wondering if he gave it to another of his—” Regulus was suddenly cut off by one of his brother’s loud moans from the room next door. His eyes flashed with annoyance, making James hurry to the door and cast a silencing charm on the next room over before Regulus actually did what Voldemort wanted him to do and kill Sirius. He came back and ran his thumb along Regulus’s clenched jaw as he pressed a few soft kisses to his anger-flushed cheeks.
“What were you about to say, love?” James said between each kiss until he felt Regulus begin to relax under him. He ran the pad of his thumb over Regulus’s lips and was rewarded with a nip.
“I was saying I bet one of the other houses has it. More than likely, it was Lucius. He’s the right-hand man after all, well, after Bella, of course.”
“Just be careful, Reg. Don’t do anything reckless.” Regulus raised his eyebrow at James.
“I’m not my brother.” His mouth twisted into what James liked to call a Regulus pout. James leaned in and caught Regulus’s bottom lip between his teeth. Regulus forgot what he was mad about. “I need to go, James,” He murmured against James’s mouth.
“I’m sure you can spare a few minutes,” James grinned into their kiss. Regulus groaned in exasperation.
“If I get killed by Voldemort for being awol for too long, I’m blaming you.” James didn’t answer, choosing instead to ignore his boyfriend’s only partially possible threats.
Regulus tugged him back towards the bed, and half an hour later, he and Remus were walking back up the steps to Number 12.
