It's cold as Regulus walks through the Malfoy Manor, wearing a black suit and his hair seems darker and longer, his stormy grey eyes more emotionless and his wand clutched tightly in his hand as his shoes hit the wooden floor slowly.
Strolling up the grand staircase cautiously, he hears muffled laughter and sobs coming from tall, double doors and furrows his eyebrows, quickly swinging the doors open and seeing Lucius on top of Maria. His hands are gripping he'd wrists tightly as he pins then either side of her head and her cheek has a small cut in the pale flesh.
She's wearing a white nightdress and he's wearing dark robes like he usually does — mostly for the death eater meetings.
Regulus tries to run towards her, but his feet are stuck to their place on the floor and Maria's head falls sideways to face Regulus, her eyes filled with tears and her cheeks stained with them.
When the Black boy spots Lucius' hand slide beneath her dress and hears Maria's strangled and sobbing screams, he yells for her to get away from him, still glued to his spot in the room, his eyes are teary but they widen when Lucius takes out his wand and slides up her left sleeve.
Revealing a red and irritated tattoo like mark on her perfect skin, the same one he also has on his left forearm.
Lucius smirks at Regulus before his lips roughly touch Maria's neck and he rips her dress, Regulus screaming—
Maria's disturbed from her slumber when Regulus gasps awake and frantically scrambled around in the emerald sheets, his breaths heavy and she grabs his face in her hands, shushing him.
"Hey—hey." Maria whispers urgently and Regulus stops struggling. "You're okay, it's me—it's Ria."
"God—I'm so sorry." Regulus mumbles in relief and Maria shakes her head with furrowed eyebrows, kissing his shoulder softly.
"It must've been a pretty terrible dream." Maria breathes and Regulus swallows and nods, falling back onto the sheets and Maria grabs her wand and waves it so that the flames in two lamps on his bedside table ignite again.
"I just. . .you—I can't lose you, Ria." Regulus whispers, sounding completely vulnerable and Maria sighs, swinging her leg over his hips and lying forwards, wrapping her arms around around his shoulders, her stomach pressed against his and her legs either side of his. Regulus lets out a breath, wrapping his protective arms around her waist tightly, pulling her closer to him.
Maria closes her eyes, listening to the soothing sound of his heartbeat and Regulus kisses the top of her head softly.
"You won't lose me." Maria whispers, pressing her lips to his Leo constellation tattoo and he smiles softly, now completely content as he holds her in his arms.
