"It has begun," Regulus murmured in muted horror.
"Reggie?" James questioned, concern filling him at the distant look in Regulus' eye.
Regulus shook himself from his stupor, "Cassie just had her first vision, Peter's gone."

Sirius cocked an eyebrow, wanting an explanation.
"Let's just say Lucius is very careful with his words now," snickered Remus.

"Tío Reg?"
"In the flesh... Well, more like in the spirit, but you get what I mean."
