She could not believe this had happened again... Only this time, she wasn't stuck between the wall and him, she was stuck under his arm. And when she tried to leave, his grip on her only strengthened. She had to agree with him. Staying in his bed and getting a few more hours of sleep would be very nice, but she had a mandatory class she just could not skip today.
She nudged him with her elbow in his stomach. Several times. And when it became clear that wouldn't work, she did the unthinkable. She threw the covers off. The cold hit her like the iceberg that sank the Titanic. But it worked. He woke up. What she didn't expect was for him to just snuggle closer in order to stay warm.
"Hey Hufflepuff boy, I have to go", she said. He groaned, "Like right now?" She laughed. This boy... "Yes, right now. So let me go." He did not. "Only if you ask nicely." She rolled her eyes. "Fine. Can you let me go, please?" "Good enough", he murmured and finally pulled his arm back.
Before she left to freshen up, she gently put the covers back on him. He had already fallen back asleep. She lightly kissed his cheek and left.
