The wind blows softly through her brunette hair as she walks across the beach, the sun only just rising over the horizon, yet a few muggle families are already out and sat on the sand. Maria feels a smile play on her lips as she sees a little boy with a slightly younger looking girl, running around after each other with spades in their hands, reminding her of her and James when they were younger. She smiles at how simple the muggle world is compared to their magical one. Sometimes, she wonders what life would be like as a muggle, being brought up in an all magic family, she's never actually even spent one day like a muggle, since her one with the boys and Lily was ruined by a death eater attack.
She walks to the sea and waits for it to come in and engulf her feet in the cool water, smiling when she sees the young girl scream at the feeling of the water and the young boy laugh at her. Definitely reminding her of James.
"What are you doing out here?" A voice says behind her and Maria shrugs, feeling Regulus beside her as she looks at the clear water. Suddenly, she's in the water and she coughs slightly before glaring up at the tousle haired boy who's grinning at her cheekily.
"Was that necessary?"
"Very."
Maria thinks for a moment before standing up and walking further into the water, turning and facing Regulus who frowns but follows, taking her outstretched hand as she tugs him deeper into the water until they're knee deep. She then splashes water on him making him let out a laugh but she's not finished as she pushes him into the water.
She laughs and begins to go as quickly as she can to the shore but arms wrap around her waist and spin her around before the both of them are in the water. Maria laughs because she landed on Regulus who splutters slightly, scrunching his face because of the salty water. Regulus smiles up at her as they sit in the water, her hair dripping wet and her eyes squinted slightly as the sun brightens across the water.
Maria looks mischievous as she stands up and kicks some water at him before quickly running to shore, Regulus rolling his eyes and chasing after her. She gasps and laughs when arms wrap around her waist again whilst she's running on the sand and Regulus pulls her into him, the two of them almost stumbling into the sand.
"You wear it." Maria notices, grabbing Regulus' hand in hers and examining the ring that she'd transfigured in class and Regulus smiles.
"So do you." He takes her hand in his, twirling the ring gently around her middle finger.
