"Bella, dearest, it's Reg," he said loud enough to make sure she heard but wasn't shouting.

Bella heard the soft knock and the call. She gave a soft, "Come in, love.", in reply. She kept her gaze of the falling snow, trying to summon up even a ghost of a smile.

"Something troubling you, pet?" she asked softy, as she patted the space on the window seat next to her.

He smiled softly as he opened the door. He walked over and sat next to her.

"That's what I came here to ask you dearest. You seem....distant of late." He gently laid a hand on hers in a comforting gesture.

Bella turned her hand over and hels Regulus'. Her voice was soft when she spoke. "I am to be married as soon as school is done."

She turned to Regulus. "I am just in a small bit of pain from my punishment. I failed and I deserved it."
