Regulus of Hogwarts: Lord of the Stars

Kreacher was already waiting at the door and pulled it open.

Regulus came down the hall behind him.

Lucius stood on the step in a travelling robe. He held himself straight, gave a nod, a hint of a smile at his mouth. "Good morning, Regulus."

"Good morning, Lucius."

Regulus stepped aside and brought him into the entrance hall.

Lucius was a man of manners. Having come this far, he could hardly leave without greeting Orion.

Regulus led him through to the drawing room.

Orion sat in the chair at the head of the room with the Daily Prophet in his hands, a half-finished cup of tea on the small round table in front of him.

He raised his eyes. "Lucius."
