Finding Safety

Severus jumped. “How’d you find us?”
Remus slipped a folded parchment into his pocket. “I’ve my ways.”
Regulus snorted. “My brother and his Potter agreed to let us hide in Gryffindor? Wonders never cease. The holidays must be coming early.”
Remus’ eyes narrowed. “You have something of mine.”
“This you mean?” Regulus pulled the Invisibility Cloak out of his pocket, fondling it. “I thought it was Potter’s.” He smirked.
“It is and he loaned it to me, not you.” Remus grabbed the Cloak. “Now come on, I need to get you back to Gryffindor so we can keep you safe.”

They exited the library behind some Ravenclaws. Avery and Yaxley were waiting. Fortunately, Remus had insisted they use the Cloak, so, undetected, they crept by.
“...sure they’re inside?” Yaxley asked Avery, eyeing the library door.
“Where else could they hide?” Avery asked. “Once Pince closes up we’ll have them, and so will Riddle.”
“And what if they won’t join?”
Avery grinned evilly. “Then he’ll give them to us to play with.” He licked his lips. “It’ll be like the holidays came early.”
Severus shuddered. Remus rested his hand on his back. “Let’s go!” he mouthed.
Severus couldn’t leave fast enough.

Black and Potter were waiting when they got to Gryffindor. “In trouble, Reg?” Black sneered at Regulus and Severus. “Must be the company you keep.”
Severus growled, but Remus clasped his hand. “Enough, Siri. I explained the situation. They’re trying to do the right thing.”
Potter sighed. When Remus had returned his Cloak the moment they’d arrived in Gryffindor, he’d looked as if his holidays had come early. “He’s right, Padfoot. Least we can do is keep them safe.”
“Fine.” Black smirked at Remus. “And I guess since Snape’s sleeping with you, I get Reg?”
Regulus snorted. “I’ll take Potter.”
