The next morning, I woke in a cold sweat and I was panting. My body was struggling for air; I felt like I was suffocating. It was the same nightmare. Like the one on the train. Everything was dark, and cold, and I couldn't do anything. I was useless.

Pathetic.

What the hell am I talking about. I am Irina fucking Salvatore. Get it together.

Turning my attention to the snoring in the other side of the room, I realised that the rest of my dorm mates must have come in after I'd fallen asleep. I didn't pay much attention to the three of them as I got up and checked the time on my watch. Thankfully, it hadn't broken when I tossed it aside last night.

03:12. Great. Waking up at 3 in the morning is totally healthy. Yippee!

I knew I had some time to kill; so I grabbed the first set of clothes I could find, threw on some makeup, added my usual rings and choker and tossed on my boots. The clicking of my heels echoed through the empty halls as I strode through the corridors. The sun was only just rising, and the sky faded from pleasant pinks to deep oranges. It was divine.

Looking up, I saw a large tower that surpassed the height of the rest of Hogwarts, therefore seemingly the best place to watch the sunrise.

Having absolutely no patience whatsoever, I picked up the pace as my search for the tower became frantic. Finally, I had located a spiral staircase that hopefully led up to the desired spire.

-

After several groans and a ton of cursing, I made it to the top of the staircase and thanked the stars that the torture was finally over. Considering I only woke up 20 minutes ago, I wanted to flop back down on my bed and never wake up. I wasnt tired, just annoyed I had to walk all the way up here.

"Are you gonna keep standing there or come sit down".

Finding that the source of the statement was a platinum blond prick, I walked over toward him and sat down on the ledge of the tower.

"Hey blondie"

"Hey bitch"

Was that really the best he could come up with. I mean to be fair, mine wasn't much better and he wasn't far off, but still.

"What are you doing up?"

"I could ask you the same question. I thought the pampered rich kid needed his beauty sleep".

My sarcastic tone didn't seem to amuse him as much as I thought it would. He finally turned to me and sent me a glare, but I don't think I gave the reaction he wanted as I puffed out my bottom lip and gave him puppy dog eyes.

"Oh come on! I was only having a joke. Lighten up a bit" I nudged his shoulder and his stiff expression softened just a tiny bit.

"So, Hufflepuff huh?"

"Tell me about it. How the hell did I..." I gestured up and down my body- showing off my small black crop top and leather jeans- while a frown formed on my lips, "get sorted into Hufflepuff? I dont get it! I mean, there was this guy in the corner of the room looking at me and the hat. I think his name is like, snipe, snick, s-"
