O Beija-Flor - Regulus Black (Complete)

LXV -

SURPRISE! ANOTHER CHAPTER! I HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT!

No matter how much Cecilia, Regulus, Remus and Sirius talked about what to do in any similar situation, when an attack was happening in real life, it was nothing like Cecilia had imagined.

There was no immediate panic and there was no shot of adrenaline running through her veins, there was only fear as the whole group of guests just stared at the silver lynx as if expecting more information before taking their decisions on their next moves, but the people that knew what the short message meant were already moving. If it hadn't been for Regulus pulling her arm and pushing through several guests, looking over their heads to find someone specific, she would've been standing in the same place for a couple more seconds in confusion and horror.

"Sirius! SIRIUS!" Regulus yelled.

"HERE! LEFT! ON YOUR LEFT, REGGIE!" Sirius screamed.

Cecilia used her free hand, which she had just gained control again, to hold onto the robes of a man who had just started moving again to lead Regulus towards the correct direction, seeing him in the space in between people. Her eyes widened. Remus was with him and so was a strange boy that she had not met before - it took her a moment to recognise him as Draco Malfoy under the Polyjuice Potion.

Regulus got to them in the very moment the first horrid scream echoed through the tent.

"Where are the kids?" he asked, eyes wide.

"HERMIONE?" Remus was yelling, using the fact that he was the tallest of them to see through the people now running around. "RON? HARRY?!"

"RON?" someone else screamed. A girl's voice, probably Hermione or Ginny.

Loud pops of apparitions made Cecilia reach under her dress for her shoes to take her wand, raising it to put a protection spell in front of Regulus in the very moment a red spell would've hit him on the back.

Regulus let go of her in shock, not because she had protected him, but because they both felt the use of the magic. The bond had been completed and it had been the first time that they had used stronger magic, especially in battle.

Molly sprinted across them, wand raised above her head as she spilled jinx after curse, running towards Ginny, who now stood beside Tonks, holding onto her purple dress as Constance tried to protect the both of them, the red colour of her dress making moves in the corner of Cecilia's eyes. However, Charlie got to them before Molly, the modest dress Emma had on marking the air around her in blue, the headscarf tightly wrapped around her head and secured (she had learned her lesson from that one time with Umbridge). Charlie held onto Emma's arm, pulling her down in the very moment a curse would've hit her head.

"They're fine! They're fine!" Regulus said, pulling Cecilia away as she noticed she had stepped towards them to help as well.

"RON!" someone else screamed. Arthur.

Arthur was running through the guests, pushing people out of the way as he held onto Harry's disguised body's shoulder, and Harry held Hermione's hand tightly as she protected their behind. Ron was duelling with a Death Eater.

"Oh!" Draco gasped.

And Cecilia knew why. She would've recognised that hair-colour from far away. Draco's dad was there and he didn't even know Draco was there as well.

Sirius ran as well, leaving his family behind to help Harry and the children. Remus followed, turning to say something that Cecilia didn't hear to Regulus, who nodded. Cecilia was a lot more worried about Draco at the moment, who had turned deathly pale, so she held onto his shoulder, pulling him behind her as she looked at Regulus, waiting for instruction or explanation.
