tell me more // mary & regulus
It’s not that Mary was stalking him or anything. It wasn’t like she was spending the whole dance sitting around waiting to catch glimpses of him. At the very least she hadn’t been searching him out the first time she happened to spot him out on the dance floor. But if she were being honest, the moment she saw Regulus with none other than Charity Burbage in his arms, she became immediately invested.
She had her own reasons to suspect there was a love interest in his life, and she had kept herself from bothering him about it even though it had been a mystery that had plagued her. But seeing the two of them together, seeing the way he was smiling at her, she was confident the mystery was solved.
And so, yes, she had been waiting for the right time to cut in and steal Regulus away for just a few moments. Which meant frequent glances around the room to spot where he was, only to decide that they were too wrapped up in their date to be interrupted. But finally Charity stepped away, possibly to get a drink or say hi to some of her friends, and Mary jumped on the chance. She was by Regulus’s side in a moment and a barely contained grin pushing its way onto her face probably gave away her intentions in a heartbeat.
“Hey there. I’m been trying to catch you all night but you’ve seemed rather... busy. Have time for one dance?”
