Torn up

Chapter 24

"Wake up! It's trip day!" I was shaken awake. I slightly opened my eyes to see Theo slightly dancing over me.

"Why can't we just stay here?" I growled laying my head back on my pillow. He sat next to me on the bed.

"As much as I would love that, we will have more fun at the lodge."

He said, giving me a kiss on the cheek. I turned onto my back and held my arms out. He pulled me up tight and swung me side to side.

"Fine, I'm up." I said trying to squirm away.

"Good, now come on let's get these classes over with. 4 hours till we are boarding." He said ecstatic.

"You know how long the train ride is?" I asked with a smirk.

"No...?" He questioned.

"6 and a half hours, with your brothers." I trailed off.

"And you?"
"Dumbledoor said we were split up by gender, due to "policy" I told him.

"It'll just make seeing you all the better." He smiled.

"Very funny, now let's go." I said getting out of bed and walked out of the nook. No one was even in the common room yet.

"Theo, what time is it?" I asked looking out the window to barely see the sun rising.

"5:19." He said laughing.

"You have got to be kidding me." I said trying to walk back into the nook and fall back asleep. Theo grabbed my arm and pulled me out the door.

He led me through the hallways. No one was up, it was quiet and cold. As he started to slow down I crossed my arms trying to keep warm. The wind was blowing through the open windows and the open halls.

"Where are we even going?" I questioned yawning.

"Hold on." He said looking left and right trying to figure out the correct way. He took ahold of my hand again then pulled me up a set of stairs. He slowed down once we reached the top, we were at the Astronomy Tower. The sun was slowly rising over the black lake and it was an extraordinary site to see.

"Why are we here?" I asked, still gazing out.

"We don't have any classes together today but one, and if we can't ride the train with each other...Why not spend a bit more quality time together." Theo nudged my shoulder.

I looked back at him who was leaning against a bare wall. He gave me a smile.

"It's very beautiful." I said smiling.

"Me, or the view?" He asked.

"Can I say both?" I laughed.

We stayed up there until we heard the awakening of other students. We headed down the stairs and back to the common room. We went our separate ways as we went up to go get dressed.

Today was nothing special. I put my hair up in a clip and threw on some mascara and highlighter. I grabbed my glasses and my bookbag off my desk and headed to meet the others for breakfast.

As I was leaving, I saw my suitcase in the corner of my room. What would this trip even look like? Maybe staying with the girls and Blaise is a good idea. I guess I am a bit excited. Maybe Pansy's right, Theo is rubbing off on me.

It was very sunny out today, the days seemed to get sunnier and sunnier. The light shined through the pane windows as I walked through the stone hallways. I made it to the slytherin table and saw that everyone was almost done with the food on their plate, was I really that late? Theo scoffed down his food before turning to look at me.
