Regulus' life, chapter 6
"I want to talk, what's so wrong with that?"
Regulus walked towards her cautiously. Nevertheless, his head still held as if he deserves people kneeling down at his presents. Once he got to her, he sat down next to her on the desk, to his disgust and dismay; the desk had a faint film of grey dust. However, he sat down, trying to push the dirt out of his mind.
"Regulus, you are ok, right?" Sophia put her hand on his
"What ever do you mean by that?"
"Well, do you feel ok? Do you feel tense or uptight at all?"
"I am fine, Sophia, what do you want to talk to me about?" Regulus was starting to feel worried that she was going to tell him he was insane, which of course he was
"Well, I really like you, I know, we have only known each other for about two days now, and maybe we are rushing, or maybe you think I'm rushing it but…"
"Sophia? Willyougooutwithme?"
"Pardon?"
"Sorry, where are my manners, mumbling, honestly. Ok.' Regulus breathed in deeply 'will… you… go… out… with…me?"
"Yes, or course Reg. I was going to ask you the same" Regulus actually grinned, showing his perfectly straight, pearl white teeth.
"You should smile more often, your smile is amazing, it lightens your face" Regulus let a small laugh escape his lips.
Sophia stood up off the desk and pulled Regulus up with her. She put her arms around his neck and rose onto her toes to kiss him; Regulus slipped his own arms around her slender waist to pull her even closer. "Come on, lets go back to the common room" Regulus said pulling away and steering her out of the classroom by the waist.
As soon as they were in the common room, Regulus and Sophia realised how empty it had gotten, now it was just the usual, Lucius, Narcissa, Belatrix and there 'friends' that were left, and a couple of others that Regulus did not know. "As per usual Lucius is let again wanting a good shagging" Regulus whispered in her ear, she giggled as he pulled her towards the group of sixth and seventh years.
Regulus jutted his thumb behind him to one of the sixth years so he could sit down, the sixth year moved without hesitation. Regulus sat down and Sophia sat down on his lap. She curled his hair around her fingers while Regulus kissed down her neck.
"So, Regulus, does she belong to you now?" Lucius who was pretty much in an identical position with Narcissa asked.
"I am going out with her, if that is what you mean" Regulus said pulling his head away from Sophia so he could lean back in the green armchair. Sophia leant into his chest breathing in his scent. He smelt of mint chocolate, pinewood, and she could smell a hint of shoe polish. He smelt gorgeous.
Regulus stroked her hair absent-mindedly. "So Reggy how was your first day?" asked Narcissa, her voice girlish, but fake "Ok, Cissy, it was ok".
Belatrix and Rodulphus had spread themselves infront of the fire, Rodulphus shifted so he was on top of her. Regulus looked away knowing that there would be a lot of kissing going on.
Ten minutes later, Belatrix and Rodulphus got up, "Roddy and I are going to bed, see you in the morning". Regulus looked as if he was asleep, his eyes were closed and his posture had relaxed.
"Reg.?" Sophia whispered stoking his cheek
"Hmm?" Regulus did not open his eyes
"Don't worry, I just thought you were asleep" Sophia settled back down on his chest.
Steadily the pupils trickled to there dormitories. Lucius mumbled something about homework to do, so he disappeared with Narcissa to his dormitory. Regulus and Sophia were the last in the common room.
A clock somewhere struck eleven o clock. "We should go to bed, it is getting late, and we have school tomorrow"
"Ok, come on then" Sophia got up, and then helped Regulus out of the chair.
Regulus folded, unfolded and then refolded his uniform 3 times, each time he unfolded his uniform, he would smooth it out shake it, and then smoothed it out again. Once he felt it was satisfactory, he unfolded his pyjama bottoms shook them out, and then slipped them on over his hips.
Regulus stretched out under the green and silver silk sheets, he flicked his wand so the hangings shut as he closed his eyes to dream of a certain brunet.
Regulus woke up at dawn. He opened the hangings of his four-poster bed; he got out of bed and went to the bathroom. He stepped under the scalding water letting out a breath of satisfaction.
Regulus massaged honey-smelling shampoo into his hair, he rinsed the suds out or his black hair, he massaged under the pelting water making sure every last sud was rinsed out, once he knew the suds were gone, he massaged another blob of shampoo into his hair, massaging as he had done before. He repeated the process two more times, and then put conditioner in his hair twice.
Regulus stepped out of the shower, grabbed his hairbrush and then slid it through his wet hair; he dried his hair with a heating charm then stepped into his dorm with a towel around his waist.
He unfolded his uniform then shook it out; he smoothed it out, and then put it on. He smoothed out the one crease in the sleeve, picked up his bag, and then left the dormitory before his dorm mates woke up.
It was a little after six. He sat down on the green armchair infront of the newly lit fire. Regulus tucked his legs under him, after three minutes of sitting in that way, he started getting pins and needles so changed his position so his heels were touching his buttock and his arms wrapped around his bent legs. He rested his forehead on his knees.
