Remus started gesticulating.
“Screw them,” Regulus muttered. “We can go somewhere else.”
“Where?” asked Severus. “Avery will track us no matter where we go.”
“He’s never in the library,” said Regulus. “What if we hide in the Restricted Section?”
Severus pursed his lips. “That would be temporary at best.”
“Well it’s all temporary until McGonagall tells us what her ideas are.”
Severus sighed. “True.” He glanced back at Remus, Black and Potter, who were still clearly arguing. “Should we wait and see what they say?”
“Why?” Regulus snorted. “We know what they’ll say.”
Severus nodded. “Yeah, all right, let’s go.”

Severus half expected Remus to stop him from leaving, but when they exited Gryffindor there was no outcry, just a hallway.
“Right,” said Regulus. “Even Gryffindors must have secret ways out of here.”
“I’ve no idea,” said Severus, already regretting leaving Remus. “What we need is that Cloak.”
“You mean this one?” Regulus grinned, pulling the Cloak out of his pocket.
Severus gaped at him. “How’d you get that?”
Regulus shrugged. “Nicked it off Lupin when he went to talk to the others. Now are we heading for the Restricted Section or no?”
Severus nodded. He didn’t see another way.
~
As they entered the Restricted Section, Severus felt wards tingle over them.
“I bet Avery can’t breach those,” whispered Regulus as they moved deeper into the section. “You need special permission from Pince, and he’s never been one to frequent libraries.”
Severus exhaled. “You’re right.”
They emerged from under the Cloak once they were in a spot not visible from the door. Regulus collapsed into a chair. “If this gets much madder I may just join Riddle’s gang and be done,” he muttered. “All this cloak and dagger stuff is killing me.”
Severus nodded. “Yeah. I’d be a terrible spy.”
~
Regulus was staring.
“What?” Severus snapped after he couldn’t take it any longer.
Regulus shushed him. “Pince is protective about the Restricted Section.”
“Right,” Severus whispered. “Sorry.” He narrowed his eyes. “But why are you staring?”
“Just wondering how far your thing with Lupin can go.”
Severus huffed. “What thing? Right now we’re just--”
“Snogging?” Regulus smirked. “Shagging? Fucking?”
Severus coughed. “None of your business.”
“It is mine, though,” came a voice, and they both jumped as Remus emerged from behind a stack of books. “Why did you leave?” he asked, glaring. “The others decided you can stay in Gryffindor.”
