A Queen's sacrifice | Regulus Black

Chapter IV

It had been decided they would go see Dumbledore for the where abouts of Harry to bring him back home after Fae had managed to regain her composure. Currently you could see Faelinn at her dresser already changed for the day doing some makeup to cover up any bags or tear stains. Behind her stood her husband who was busy working on her hair to help the time go quicker, knowing his wife was worried on the where abouts of the poor babe. On their bed sat the small figure of their daughter who was already ready for the day and was messing with one of her mother's jewellery boxes and adorning herself in random pieces of jewellery giggling as she looked at herself in a hand mirror.

Regulus and Faelinn couldn't help but smile at the sight at the of their daughter their girl the purest evidence of their love. The rest of the hall likewise couldn't help but melt over the cuteness that was Celeste Black-Magus.

As Regulus finished up with Faelinn's hair her kissed atop of her head "Your beautiful you know that" he murmured into her hair staring at her through the mirror, her eyes met his as she smiled as he rubbed his hands up and down her sides in comfort. Once she were ready he helped his expecting wife up guiding her towards the bed "Are you sure you are up for this" he wisphered to her despite knowing what her response were to be, "It matters not if I am ready but that I have the choice, stars know I do that babe deserves better we will give him a fighting chance wether it be the last thing I do he has lost so much already and to be frank if we waited until we were ready we'll be waiting our whole lives beyond the grave in all"

The hall looked at their Faelinn before them now truly not much had changed those that knew her personally and those who didn't knew how strongly she fought and protected those she cared for, it was something she were notoriously known for. She she was awfully loving and those whom were closest to her often feared it bring about her demise. But alas she was a Hufflepuff it ought not to have been a surprise.

Regulus merely nodded and looked at his daughter chuckling at the sight and assisting in her taking off the jewellery. Holding her in his arms once he had done where she snuggled herself perfectly into his chest. Celeste looked over to her mum smiling "hi mummy" she smiled brightly Fae smiled back pure joy and love surround the three of them but that were quickly replaced when they left to Hogwarts.

They apparated into the Hogwarts castle and headed straight for Dumbledore's office the Griffin statue that guarded the office seemed to sense the furry and out of respect moved out the way in almost a haste. Barging into the office Faelinn didn't hesitate to interigate the old man straight away "where is he where is that poor boy so help me Dumbledore do not mess me around". The headmaster jumped at the intrusion from where he was writing something and quickly stood up and bowed to the family in respect "my dear girl how are you what brings you here". Faelinn's eyes seemed to flash through all the colours of flaming fire as she glared at the man.

The hall had all tensed up those whom had ever been on the receiving end of Faelinn's wrath knew not even the stars could help him now, instead they all sat in anticipation about what was about to happen. Dumbledore himself had gone several shades paler and was avoiding looking over at Faelinn.

"Are you a fool have your ears gone on a wander how very dare you speak to me in such a manner and ignore the very words I spoke. You speak as though ti's any ordinary day as if no grave suffering has just been indured you know precisely why I am here old man do not tempt me" she did not shout but her voice held firm with an edge of warning,threat and aggressiveness. The anger spit however, like venom from every word. Whilst she did not raise her voice it was the calmer nature of her tone that made Dumbledore fear all the more he think he'd much rather have her shout and scream at her but he had vaguely knew Faelinn and knew she much liked to keep her composure above all else and didn't need to shout to be heard and get her voice across to grow fear into every nerve of a body.

"The boy is safe" he was quickly interrupted "That were never my question Dumbledore" the man looked over to Regulus whom was holding their daughter and had a hand resting on his wife's back. He was offering no help and just gave him a stern glare even Celeste who could not comprehend any of what was going on was also glaring at the man. He sighed almost as though preparing himself, "Harry is with his family, his aunt, uncle and cousin" he sucked in a breath bracing himself.

"Have you completely lost your mind where are they where do they live?" She fumed, "you really chose there of all places a home of people whom hate our kind" Dumbledore just looked down as though ashamed "I am sorry Faelinn they live in Surrey 4 private drive" the man knew better than to fight and make enemy with the Queen. He wasn't stupid and anyway given the family would be more concerned with retrieving the boy he would be spared of anymore of her warth that would now likely be left unto the Dursley's. And with their answer they quickly turned and left not without one finally warning look from Faelinn a clear sign to watch his back and tread carefully.

Throughout this Lily Evans had began sobbing as she recognised the name and feared about what could have happened to her poor sweet boy being in the hands of such cruel people she was so thankful for Faelinn who was going to take him under her wing and raise him with the love he deserved that she could no longer give him. Faelinn had moved over to her wrapping her in her arms holding her tight, a girl she had been a friend with for years that she would do anything for or rather now her son.
