My eyes open, and it takes me a moment to adjust. It's early, I think. I force myself to sit up, running my hands through my hair as I look around the room. Tom is asleep, or at least looks like it, and Mattheo's bed is empty.

Events from last night come back to mind, and I shake my head slightly, leaning over to check the time. It's around 6. There's light coming through the cracked open bathroom door, and I get out of the bed, fixing my shirt and flipping up the covers as I smooth it out, my back facing the bathroom door.

"Good morning." A voice from behind me says, and I turn to find Mattheo leaning in the doorway of the bathroom.

"Morning." I reply, and turn around again, finishing fixing the bed before I walk back around the bed and pick up my phone, seeing Michael texted me back.

well it wouldn't be hogwarts without drama on the first day. hope nothing bad ❤️

I hear the bathroom door shut and a few moments later, the shower. There's not much I can do for Pansy and Ari in terms of 'dressing hot' other than accessorize until the party tonight, so I pull out the usual white button down shirt, skirt, tie, and black high socks.

A little later, I'm standing at the desk getting things together for today, and the bathroom door opens. Theo steps out, like Tom yesterday, just in a towel. He sees me look at him and smirks slightly as he walks over to his bed and begins getting his clothes out.

"Can you wake him up?" Theo says, gesturing to Tom. "He's not a morning person."

I chuckle lightly and nod, walking over to where Tom is sleeping. "He's not gonna attack me or anything, right?" I ask, turning back to look at Theo.

"He might." Theo replies.

"Great." I say, and step towards him. I place a hand on his shoulder, shaking him gently. "Riddle." I say, and squeeze his arm. I chuckle lightly as he doesn't stir. "Tom." I squeeze his arm again. "Is he always like this in the morning?" I ask, looking back at Theo again. He nods, smiling. "How do you usually wake him up?"

"Well I can think of something you could try... it might also put him in a good mood." Theo says, smirking devilishly. I roll my eyes at him, turning back to Tom.

"Very funny, Lestrange."

"What? I'm just being helpful." He says innocently.

"Tom." I say louder, shaking him more roughly.

"What?" Tom responds, reaching over and grabbing my wrist, holding it tightly and tugging me towards the bed slightly as he turns to face me and sit up.

"Just wake up. You're like a fucking rock." I say, chuckling. He glares at me and then looks past me at Theo.

"Is this going to be a daily occurrence?" He asks, meeting my eyes.

"Not if you set an alarm." I say. "Can you let me go?"

He smirks, cocking his head. "Why should I?"

"Tom..." I say warningly. He raises an eyebrow at me.

"Only if you say please." He says, running his free hand through his hair, which is somehow still pretty put together considering he just woke up.

I roll my eyes and tug my wrist away from him but he holds on, looking at me expectantly. "Please, let me go, Tom." I say. He smirks and lets me go.

(enter: Tom's begging kink 🤗)

I get ready, changing in the bathroom and doing pretty much the same makeup as yesterday, fixing and styling my hair and in a while I'm walking into the great hall, Tom and Mattheo having left a little before me.
