Summary
Excerpt:“'They hurt me,” Regulus cries out against her chest. “They hurt me.” He says it over and over again, thin body shaking beneath hers and James’ touch. “I have to clean–filthy, filthy, filthy. I’m filthy,” he continues.
Suddenly he's fighting to get out of their hold to try and finish the job and it’s awful but Lily and James can’t let go.
“Regu–, Regul–, James struggles to keep his hold on Regulus firm. His mouth is doing this wobbly thing Lily hates to see because it means he’s seconds away from crying, “Reggie, stop !” James finally manages to get out, his voice quavering. "Love, you're not. You're not filthy. Never that."
Regulus stops finally when his head butts Lily accidentally in the chin and lip. A pained groan escapes her before she can put a pin in it..
The room falls silent and then Regulus is shaking all over again. There’s a warm hand cradling one side of Lily’s face. James.
She rubs her cheek against Regulus’s murmuring softly to him that it’s alright and that he couldn’t hurt her."
