Maria opens her eyes groggily to Regulus gently shaking her shoulder, seeing her eyes flutter open, a frown on her face and he smiles, kissing her jaw softly and she turns over to face him, her eyebrows furrowed as she looks at the messy haired boy who tucks some hair behind her ear.
"It's eight o'clock, Ria, the wedding's at two." Regulus whispers, kissing her forehead and she groan softly. "Lily came in telling me to wake you, Alice is going to be here in ten minutes to get ready with you all."
"Okay, just five more minutes." Maria mumbles, snuggling back into Regulus' side and he rolls his grey eyes at the girl. "My head's killing me."
"Drink that." Regulus says, handing her a glass of thick green liquid making her furrow her eyebrows and he raises his eyebrows making her sigh and sit up, taking the glass.
She sips some of the drink and is surprised when it doesn't actually taste that disgusting after all, downing the glass after a few minutes and her eyes widen when the hangover headache slowly fades away and Regulus shrugs.
"I asked Madam Promfrey for the recipe." He murmurs and she smiles at him, kissing his cheek gently before rolling out of the bed and stretching her arms before trudging towards the bathroom.
She sighs, stripping down to her underwear and brushing her teeth before turning in the shower, steam filling the room as she slides out fo her underwear, stepping into the shower and pulling the glass door closed that steams up almost instantly.
Her eyes close as she rinses her hair under the hot water, the liquid trickling down her body and she feels cold air as well as hearing the shower door open making her smile slightly when she feels large hands on her hips.
She feels his lips on her neck, sucking her sweet spot gently making her moan softly as his hands move up her stomach to grasp each of her breasts in his hands, smiling onto her neck when she lets out a small sigh of pleasure.
"Regulus." Maria warns, dragging out the 's' as his hand slides down her lower stomach and his fingers drag over her clit softly.
"Maria." Regulus says, also dragging out the last letter of her name as he sucks on the fair skin of her shoulder gently. She rolls her eyes and pulls away from him making him groan and she rolls her eyes, smirking slightly as she scrubs some shampoo in her hair, purposely letting the white foam drip between her breasts as Regulus also grabs his shampoo but his eyes stare at her boobs, the foam trailing down them forcing him to look away and swallow.
"Could you pass me the conditioner?" She asks him, running her hands through her own hair and closing her eyes as her head tilts back slightly to rinse the shampoo from her hair.
"What—oh, er, yeah." Regulus mumbles, reaching down to the conditioner that's on the side of the shower. As he stands up he licks up Maria's stomach making her shiver. "You have. . .absolutely no idea what you've just started, darling."
Maria's eyes open and he kisses her collarbone and hands her the conditioner. She sighs and takes it, massaging it into her hair and grabbing the bar of soap, smiling to herself as she slowly trails the soap down her chest making Regulus cock an eyebrow at her.
She looks at him innocently, moving the bar of soap down her lower stomach and her thighs, leaning against the cold shower wall as she scrubs it gently on her inner thighs, finally after covering her body, Regulus grabs a loofah and pulls her towards him roughly, her back against his chest as he drags the loofah around her boobs, letting her head fall back onto his shoulder.
Dragging the loofah further down her stomach, his hand trails down her side, squeezing her hip before sliding it between her legs.
Maria lets out a surprised moan when he slips two fingers inside of her, kissing along her shoulder affectionately.
"Make it quick." Maria whispers and Regulus smirks against her shoulder removing his fingers from her and stepping back away from her for a second before sliding his hands up her back until they flatten against her shoulder blades and bend her forwards. Her hands press against the black tile wall for balance as she feels his tip slide against her entrance.
"Fuck." Regulus groans as he pushes into her, feeling how actually aroused she is from his teasing fingers trailing along her body. Maria moans when he thrusts all the way in, hitting a point deep inside of her that makes her body jolt slightly.
He runs his hands up her back before back down again to grab her hips and pull her further, her back arching slightly as he manages to get even deeper.
The steaming water pours onto their bodies making it difficult for Maria to catch her breath as he begins to pick up the pace of his rough, merciless thrusts.
"God Reg!" Maria yelps when his fingers reach around to touch her clit roughly just as he hits her g-spot, smiling as her head droops down slightly. He feels her legs tremble as he moves his fingers on her clit quickly as well as pounding into her relentlessly.
He feels her muscles clench around him and he groans, throwing his head back for a few seconds as she smirks to herself whilst panting.
"Fuck, Ria—do that again." Regulus moans and she repeats her actions making him dig his fingers into her hips and she whimpers, feeling herself build up as he hits her sweet spot over and over.
Regulus feels as if he's in heaven as she moans out his name every few moments, her moans becoming more frequent and he can tell she's almost finished but he groans, pulling out of her and making her let out a high pitched groan.
"That's for teasing me." Regulus smiles, stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel around himself, most likely going to finish himself off and she sighs in frustration, leaning back against the wall.

"What took you so long?" Lily questions in disbelief when she sees a glum looking Maria grudge into one of the largest spare bedrooms where the girls are gathered, a towel wrapped around her wet hair.
"Long story." She mumbles, spotting Alice and grinning brightly, rushing over and hugging the shorter girl who sighs into the Potter's shoulder.
"By long she means Regulus'—"
"Mary McDonald!" Maria groans and Mary laughs whilst Marlene just snorts as she walks back into the room with bags of makeup. "Okay, let's get started then."
Dorcas — who's by far the best at doing makeup, which surprised Maria since she though Mary would've been good but Dorcas is incredible — is doing Alice's makeup as the pixie haired girl sits in a dressing gown with her hair being straightened by Maria with the flat iron.
"Where is Frank?" Maria questions and Alice shrugs her shoulders as Maria lets another short piece of hair fall into there rest of the girl's beautiful brunette locks.
"I'm pretty sure James and Peter went to get him from your house after your came here." Lily states as she applies some pale blusher to Marlene's cheekbones and Mary curls Lily's long, red hair.
"They're probably in James' room getting ready." Maria states with a small eye roll making Dorcas chuckle as she finishes drawing on Alice's lips with the shimmering lipgloss.
"Wait so—you and Alice met in the quidditch shed when?" Regulus questions, shrugging on a dress shirt as James tries to tame his mess of brown hair next to Sirius in the bathroom mirror, Sirius having much more luck with his dark hair. Frank is slipping on socks in James bedroom.
"I was in sixth year and she was in fifth." Frank says as Regulus walks out of the bathroom and into James' bedroom where Peter is trying to search for his tie. "Found her and Marlene looking for a broomstick for Marlene, I was a prefect so I asked what they were doing but I was really thinking 'wow, she's fit'."
"Ah, how romantic." Regulus says sarcastically and Frank rolls his eyes jokingly.
"Yeah? How did you and Maria meet?"
"That's not fair—it was first year!" Regulus complains and Frank shakes his head.
"Come on, spill."
"At the sorting, she said I looked familiar so I told her to piss off. . .then she stepped on my toe and called me a twat before going up to get sorted." Regulus cringes before hearing hysterical laughter from the bathroom as Sirius and James cackle.
"Oh, now that's romantic." Remus chuckles and Regulus rolls his eyes at the brown eyed boy who's tying his tie. "Honestly—should've admitting to true love then and there."
"Piss off."
"Go step on his toe!" Sirius shouts and Frank laughs as the older Black brothers saunters out of the bathroom and spins around on his heals, looking proud of himself. Regulus had always envied his brothers perfect, tameable hair, much different to his dark, tousled curls.
"Just won't fucking stay—down!" James says in frustration from the bathroom and Remus rolls his eyes.
"Leave him, he'll end up giving up soon." The maturest Marauder says to Frank and Regulus, Peter nodding at them.
"He did that?" Alice says making an awe sound and Maria nods, her face flushing as she applies some eyeshadow to Lily's eyelid as Mary curl's Maria's hair slightly.
"You two are so sweet." Dorcas grins as she pin curls her girlfriend's blonde hair. "You have to get married!"
"Dorcas! We're still in school." Maria's cheeks flush even more as she examines Lily's makeup before giving her a smile and a thumbs up as the red head sits in front of her, beginning to applaud some makeup to the Potter girl's face. "Besides, he might not want to marry me—"
"Ah—zip it." Mary tugs at the hair she's currently curling. "Maria, Regulus Black would jump in front of the Hogwarts Express if it meant he could push you out of the way. He wants to marry you. . .at least one day."
"I, for one, think that he'll ask you when you finish school." Lily states and Maria gapes at her.
"No, no, no." Marlene shakes her head. "Two galleons that he asks her when they're nineteen."
"What—you can't bet on us—"
"You're so on." Lily says smugly to Marlene who smiles sweetly and shakes her hand.
Maria rolls her eyes at the two girls as Mary strolls back in from the bathroom, grinning excitedly as she carries a black dress bag, hanging it on the wooden pole between two of the four posters on the bed. The four girls that have not yet seen the dress look like they could burst.
"Show us then!" Maria says eagerly and Mary rolls her eyes, unzipping the bag and revealing a beautiful wedding dress. It's traditional, a white dress, the top half looks tight whilst the bottom half floats down to what Maria imagines to be around Alice's ankles. Translucent, nylon sleeves that reach half way down her upper arm and cream flowers sewn over the dress, decorating it beautifully. and the girls are gaping at the gorgeous dress.
"Get it on then!" Dorcas says cheerfully and Mary takes the dress from the hanger as Alice rolls her eyes with a bright smile on her lips.
The shortest of the girls slips out of the dressing gown leaving her in underwear as the other girls help her slip into the dress, Lily zipping up the back whilst Mary adjusts the sleeves on Alice's arm.
"Oh wow." Maria gasps as Alice finally has the dress on perfectly and the rest of the girl's nod, tears in their eyes and Maria is first to pull Alice into a hug, being careful not to mess up the girl's hairstyle or makeup.
"Ria!" Maria sighs, rolling her eyes at her boyfriend's shout through the door and she walks to the door, opening it slightly and slipping out of the room. "You forgot this."
Maria gasps and takes the bag, pressing a firm kiss against Regulus' cheek. She notices he's dressed in a white shirt and grey pants with the shirt untucked and the tie that Maria had made him promise to wear, slung lazily over his neck making her shoot him a pointed look.
Her hands adjust his collar before beginning to tie the tie, "forget how to tie your tie already, love?"
Regulus laughs sarcastically at her question making her smile as she loops the tie through itself, tightening it which makes him slap her hand away childishly.
"What is taking so long?!" Mary exclaims, opening the door fully and Regulus offers a small smile to the girls inside of the spare bedroom.
"Don't you look handsome?" Marlene jokes and Lily slaps her on the arm making the blonde cackle. "Don't die, Regulus, I like girls."
"I know." Regulus says hesitantly, looking down at Maria who shrugs her shoulders.
"Hurry—no snogging, don't want you messing up your lipgloss!" Mary sings before closing the door as she walks back into the room.
"Do you think I look handsome Maria?" Regulus smirks and she sighs, pretending to examine him with her arms folded across her stomach.
"The hair could be neater." Regulus glares at the girl. "I'm kidding—don't look at me like that. You look perfect."
"Hmm." Regulus goes to kiss Maria who pulls back, gripping the back of his neck and pulling him down so his ear is next to her lips.
"You think you're so funny, leaving me there in the shower." Maria whispers seductively in his ear and he chuckles making her tug on the hair at the nape of his neck.
"I didn't laugh about it." Regulus smirks and she rugs on his hair again making him groan quietly.
"Well, I have something for you—" Maria grabs Regulus' hand as it goes to grip her hip. "No non-innocent touching, no quick snogs and fingering in the bathroom. None of it—until midnight."
Regulus rolls his eyes, "and how do you know you'll be able to resist?"
"I don't." Maria smiles against his ear, sucking on his earlobe making him sigh. "But you're turned on by me simply tugging at your hair, Reggie." She gently grasps where he'd been growing harder from her soft speaking and the pulling of his hair. He pushes his tongue into the corner of his mouth. "Unless you'd rather we don't at all?"
Regulus sighs, grabbing her wrist when she goes to go back into the bedroom.
"You're on, Potter."
