maddie sighs, content, finally feels safe and secure and of course she’d known that inside the castle walls she was protected, but she couldn’t shake off the feeling that she was in danger, couldn’t push away the nightmares no matter how hard she tried. now, though, she felt better. safe. “will you stay here a bit longer ?? just until i fall asleep.”
“I’ll stay for as long as you need me to,” Regulus assured her, stroking her hair gently. He pressed his forehead against hers, closing his eyes and breathing a soft sigh, before softly humming an old song Sirius used to sing to him when he’d have nightmares as a kid. It always soothed him, and he hoped it would for her too.
