Her previous irritation that had inexplicably disappeared with the arrival of Regulus Black was back in full swing as she watched her sister drag away her beau without her chaperone. Narcissa scoffed indignantly and glanced at Reggie expectantly as her mouth hung open. Regulus walked up to her and tucked his fingers under chin gently bringing her gaping mouth to a close. Narcissa then opted to point at her sister’s retreating back repeatedly. Regulus rolled his eyes and took the accusing finger in her possession to lead her into one of the reading rooms.

A flick of his wrist: the door was locked. A sweep of his arm: the room was sound proof with a simple Muffliato uttered. Narcissa could only stand in her sodden clothes and blink in stunned admiration. Regulus turned and tilted his head before smiling brightly. Immediately, Narcissa smiled back even as her teeth chattered.

Narcissa sneezed.

“Bless you, cousin,” he said in his usual gentle voice. The corners of Narcissa’s eyes crinkled. It was so strange how vastly different the brothers were from each other. “Shall we get you dried up then you can explain where in the name of Merlin you went?” Reggie grinned.
