DAVINA WAS ABOUT to scream but stopped when she saw her captors face. She allowed herself to be pulled towards the ROR, which had soon become a personal favourite of hers. She never had much use for it in the future but now it seemed like the only room she could actually use to talk about her situation. 

"Was that really necessary?" She scowled. 

"Isn't everything" Regulus stated with a cheeky grin. She turned around to find Severus sitting there with a blank look on his face. 

"Is he alright?" Davina questioned, kneeling in front of the boy. Severus appeared to be in shock, not moving to acknowledge the girl in front of him. 

"Heh," Regulus said with a nervous chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck. "That's the funny thing..."

"What did you do?" 

"Promise not to be mad?" 

"What. Did. You. Do."

Regulus shuffled slightly on his feet before opening his mouth. 

"I may have accidentally spilled to Sevy that you were from the future."

Davina paused, turning her head to Regulus in a manner similar to the creepy dolls in horror movies - minus the smiling of course. 

"You did what?!"

"It wasn't my fault!" 

"How the hell did it happen then?" Davina asked incredulously. 

"We were talking and then Severus brought up Sirius and his shenanigans and then you came up and some words were said and I may have confessed that you were nothing like your father..." 

Davina just gave him a deadpan stare. She watched as the boy shuffled around nervously and couldn't help but sigh. 

"I really am sorry Vina," Regulus pleaded. 

Davina groaned slightly. She couldn't find it in herself to be upset at the boy no matter how hard she tried. She had wanted to tell the boy herself, but Regulus telling him was like a weight lifted off her shoulder. 

"Sevy..." she tried. The boy turned to her with a somewhat blank look on his face, despite the widened eyes. 

"You're-"

"Yes."

"S-Sirius is your-"

"Yep."

"I-"

They settled back into the silence before it was broken by Regulus. 

"I know it sounds wack Sev, but Davina came back and now she needs our help."

"To go back?" 

Regulus hesitated. 

"To save it," Davina whispered in a solemn tone.

Severus turned to Davina, noticing the broken look on her face. He couldn't help but wonder what could've occurred that was so bad she felt the need to come back in time.

"You shouldn't mess with time Davina."

"I didn't come back by choice," Davina cried. "D-Draco he sent, sent some kind of curse at me and I ended up here. You think I wanted him to die so I could come back and hang out with all my friends parents! Huh? I can't tolerate Evans cause she looks so much like Harry and my own father doesn't- he doesn't-" 

Davina broke of with a crack in her voice. Regulus was instantly by her side, providing her with a side hug. She cracked a small smile at the gesture before turning to Severus who looked at her curiously. 

"You can't tell anyone," Regulus demanded. 

"I wasn't going too," Severus sneered. 

They were enveloped once again, each party thinking of different things. After a moment Severus spoke up again. 

"You said you came back to save the future?"

Davina nodded slightly. 

Severus shuddered before sighing. 

"I'm going to regret this," he muttered to himself. "Can I be of any assistance?"

Davina was surprised that the boy hadn't asked her anything about the future and what he was doing in her original timeline. Regulus had needed sufficient evidence but Severus was quick to accept the change. 

Davina had originally wanted to use the favour she had received from the boy in hopes that he would help her retrieve a Horcrux, but it looked like fate was on her side for the first time in a long time. 

Davina smirked lightly. 

"I'll need your help later on," she stated, eyes swirling with mirth. The Severus from the future would've never jumped the chance to help the daughter of Sirius Black. 

"But for now," her eyes dimming a bit. "We wait."
