There's a loud sound of objects clattering to the ground and Maria laughs as Regulus grabs her by her waist and lifts her onto the table of the empty classroom, quickly attacking her lips with his. They're currently skipping muggle studies in one of the empty classrooms because when they'd entered the classroom 'electricity and it's uses test' written on the chalk board and Regulus had hurriedly grabbed her hand and swept her away with him.
Regulus is stood between her legs as she sits on the desk, her hands tugging through his tousled hair as he pulls her by the hips closer to him. Maria moans into his mouth slightly when she feels his other hand that isn't resting on her hip tug at the hair at the back of her head, something that's becoming quite a habit for them both. The Potter pulls his hair as well and he groans onto her lips, her leg sliding up and down the back of his.
Both his hands leave her body before she feels them on her bare thighs, slowly sliding up and down, going further up her skirt each time.
"Reg—we can't, it's a classroom." Maria breathes, sighing in pleasure when his lips move down her jawline and leave wet kisses down her neck.
"I know we can't but god I want to." Regulus whispers in her ear hoarsely, sliding his hand up her skirt further and Maria lets out a frustrated sound at the back of her throat has she grabs his neck and pulls his lips back down to hers.
There's a loud ring of a bell and Regulus groans, throwing his head back as they heat the sound of shuffling outside, the students making their way to their next classes.
Maria sighs, looking at Regulus who raises an eyebrow, "what? There's a class of first years in here next."
"Fine." Regulus sighs, fixing his tie which was messy and knotted, running a hand through his even more tousled than usual hair to try and tame it.
"You first." Maria says and Regulus smirks.
"I don't think anyone would be too shocked to see us walking out of an empty classroom together, Ria." Regulus mumbles and Maria rolls her eyes.
"Go."
Regulus smiles, leaning in to kiss her but she dodges and he leaves a kiss on her neck with a smile and Maria huffs, nodding to the door. The boy rolls his eyes and strolls to the door, looking around before slipping out. Maria lets out a breath as she hops off the desk and opens the door, only to have her path blocked by a tall figure.
"What the fuck." Maria mumbles, looking up and feeling her heart sink slightly as she sees the mop of greasy black hair. "Oh it's you, Snivellus."
Snape sneers at her, grabbing her wrist that went to open the door further so that she can leave.
"What do you want—no let me guess. . .a drink? A. . .cauldron? Maybe. . .some shampoo?" Maria smiles and Snape glares at her.
"Just like your nuisance of a brother, completely arrogant." Snape snarls, stepping towards her further so she instantly steps backwards by instinct.
"What do you want?" Maria asks, her eyebrows furrowed and Snape shrugs.
"You skipped lesson, I'm the new potions assistant." Snape smirks and Maria's mouth opens and closes slightly.
"You?"
"Me." Snape smirks again, getting on Maria's nerves as she goes to storm past him, but she's blocked once again. "How do you think. . .Mr and Mrs Black might feel knowing their son was skipping lessons to do. . .that with you?" He points at one of the purple marks Regulus had made on her neck. "Or maybe. . .how someone else would feel?"
"What are you going on about?" She asks sceptically and Snape stares at her for a moment before something lights up in his black eyes.
"You don't know." Snape says and Maria frowns before rolling her eyes and pushing past him, strolling out of the room. Snape seems to follow her because he grabs her arm again. "You make a noise, a easily send a patronus to his parents saying what you've been doing."
Maria's eyes widen as he drags her through the halls and they stop around a corner.
"Now, I'm going to call my dear friend Lu—"
Snape didn't get to finish his sentence because someone had moved between them and in less time than Maria could process, had hit him straight across the face making him stumble and let go of Maria's wrist.
She pulls her sore wrist to her chest and rubs the forming bruise around it, and when she looks up again tousled hair is hanging over Regulus' forehead as he pins Snape on the stone floor, punching him repeatedly.
"What is going on?" Minerva's concerned voice asks over the gathering crowd and Stan pushes his way through with Alyssa, quickly grabbing Regulus' arms and yanking him off the blooded and bruised 18 year old.
"He's had enough—Regulus he's done!" Stan yells at the boy who's trying to escape his grasp.
"If you ever touch her again—you're dead Snape!" Regulus spits at the man who's groaning in pain.
Poppy and Minerva finally arrive, McGonagall gasps at the sight of James Potter's sister almost in tears, holding a bruised arm to her chest, Sirius Black's brother breathless and his knuckles bruised and covered in blood, as well as Severus Snape practically unconscious and his nose bleeding, his face tinted purplish black.
"What is the meaning of this?" Minerva breathes as Poppy shoos away the crowd of nosy teenagers that had built up. "Mr Black, Miss Potter go to the hospital wing to get checked out, I'll take Severus to Professor Dumbledore."
Maria stares with her mouth open, still in shock, as Minerva floats Snape down the corridor and Alyssa is being hugged by Stanley who's rubbing her back softly.
"Hey." Regulus whispers, wrapping an arm around her shoulders softly. "Come on, we have to go."
"I don't need to go." Maria mumbles and Regulus nods, letting her play with his ring.
"Come on, we'll go somewhere."
Arriving in the astronomy tower, Maria sighs, breathing in the fresh Autumn air and walking over to the railing, looking out on the Hogwarts grounds like they used to.
Regulus walks up behind her and wraps his arms around her waist, pulling her back into his chest gently and kissing the side of her head.
"You look terrible." Maria mumbles, taking one of his bloody knuckles in her hand softly. "Sit down."
Regulus sighs, sitting against the wall with his legs out in front of him and Maria sits on his legs, one leg over each side of his. She takes a napkin out of her robe pocket and Regulus chuckles.
"Came prepared?" Regulus wonders aloud and Maria rolls her eyes, waving her wand and making the napkin become damp and gently wiping her it over his knuckles. He winced slightly and she frowns, kissing his knuckle softly making him smile and lean his head against the wall just watching as she tends to him.
"Staring is rude."
"I'm admiring."
"Admiring?"
"You do usually admire beautiful things, Ria."
Maria flushes and lets her forehead fall forwards onto his chest making the boy chuckle softly, twirling some of her hair around his finger. She feels an overwhelming sense of safety as he places a hand gently but securely on her waist and his chin resting on top of her head.
"Ria. . ." Regulus whispers and she makes a hum of acknowledgment as she closes her eyes, letting her body relax into his. "He didn't. . .touch you did he?"
"What?" Maria frowns, sitting up again and Regulus has tears in his eyes. "No. . .accept from, well, this." She holds up her dark purple wrist and Regulus gently takes her hand, bringing her wrist to his lips and pressing a kiss on the mark.
"I'm sorry." Regulus mumbles, kissing up and down her arm.
"Why do you need to be sorry?" Maria whispers, reaching into her pocket with her free hand and taking out some cigarettes, placing one between his lips and one in hers, waving her wand to light the ends.
"I should've stayed in that classroom with you." Regulus sighs and Maria shakes her head as he inhaled some smoke, taking it to the back of his throat just as she pulls him into a kiss.
The girl feels the chemicals from his mouth float into hers as she breathes in and pulls away a bit to exhale, filling the air around them with the thin layer of smoke. Regulus' lips twitch as she does, his hand letting go of her arm and resting on her hip, leaning up further to kiss her harder.
"Gross." They hear and their heads turn to the two blondes stood with their arms folded and fudge in Alyssa's hands.
"You get attacked by a teaching assistant that he beats the shit out of and this is what you're doing." Stan rolls his eyes, slouching against the wall. "About to fuck the shit out of each other, kind of ironic really."
"Piss off, Stanley." Regulus groans, as Alyssa throws a piece of fudge into Maria's mouth.
"No, carry on—we'll watch—"
"Oh, my god."
