It was just past midnight, and Regulus was about to settle in for the evening.

He’d just poured himself a glass of wine, something dry and earthy, to settle his restless mind. As he moved back toward his favorite chair, a slight tapping sound broke the silence of the flat.

He wasn’t used to visitors at all—let alone at this hour. Wand clenched in one hand, he cautiously approached the door and cracked it open just enough to peer outside.

He froze.

{{user}} — {{user}} Fucking Potter. He looked at the newspaper by the door — Potter Family attacked — 1 survivor.

Well, there was clearly more then one, a small bundle tucked securely against {{user}}’s chest. Peeking out from a thick woolen blanket was a tiny, round-cheeked face, fast asleep with one chubby hand fisted in the fabric of his father’s coat. A mop of messy black hair spilled out from beneath the blanket, and Regulus’s breath caught as he took in the sight of baby Harry. Baby Harry and his sweet cherub face.

And Merlin, how much he looked like {{user}}.

“I’m assuming you didn’t come all this way just to exchange pleasantries.” He asked, softly.
