"Hey did you even hear me, I said get back to your dorm" Was said by the male who stood in front of Tatum. He had never frozen like that, he just stopped processing what was going on before he blinked back to reality. He saw the Hufflepuff patch and remembered hearing how most Hufflepuffs were considered scum of the school or just big push overs, at least that's what Draco had been saying."Look I was on my way, popped outside for a minute, no harm done" The male would speak as he would bump past the Hufflepuff walking a bit further before he would hear chuckling coming from the other male.
"You are pathetic" He would speak causing the male to turn around abruptly as he would pull his wand pointing it at the male as he would watch the male continue to hold his arms crossed.
"And your a Hufflepuff" He would speak with a slight eye roll as that wasn't a good come back at all. Like duh he's a Hufflepuff hmm how did you figure that one out oh maybe it's on his damn cloak.
"Oh yes i'm aware of that, and your lost" He would speak as he looked at the male with his hands clasped and a smirk played on his lips as Tatum would close his eyes taking a deep breath as he would finally speak.
"Maybe, what's it to you" He would speak as he would begin to put his wand down. He usually got very defensive when someone brought up being pathetic or useless, but now that they had moved past such words he would begin to relax.
"Oh I don't know, maybe I know the school better than you ever will and I can help you back or something along those lines" The male in front of him would speak as he would roll his eyes not wanting to ask this dude for help.
"I'm actually quite fine thank you mr." He would speak wanting the male to speak his name, not really sure why maybe just so he could poke fun later. Assuming that's what Slytherins do, he wasn't really sure how the house spectrum worked yet.
"None of your business, now cmon i'll lead you back to your common room since your obviously lost and too cocky to admit it" The male would speak with an eye roll as he would begin to walk the opposite direction of where the male had just cam from. Tatum found himself just crossing his arms over his chest like a child as he would stand there. But then he realized he genuinely didn't know how to get back to his common room.
"Wait up !" He would chant after the male as he would jog up to the boy he still hadn't known the name of. His eyes looked everywhere but at the male who walked with him.
"So you do need guidance to your common room huh" The male would speak, he could almost hear the smirk on the males lips as he would roll his eyes.
"Maybe someone should wipe that cocky smirk off your face, and no, I just figured you would need some company since you were already going that way" He would speak as he would let his arms sway by his side as the two continued down the long corridor.
"Oh, so you can get back all by yourself? my shift ends in five"He would speak but Tatum quickly came back with a response so that he wouldn't be left alone in the castle not knowing where to go.
"Fine, where's my common room" He would speak defeated as he would know that he was tired and just really wanted to go and sleep. He looked at the other male who chuckled then continued in the way of where he would assume the common room would have to be.
"Awe look at you asking for help, was that so hard" Cedric would speak as the two would turn a corner as Tatum definitely wasn't liking how pleased the Hufflepuff was about being right about him needing help to get back to his common room, what even is a common room?
"Yes as a matter of fact, think I just threw up in my mouth, or maybe it was your face I can't really tell" He would speak as he would watch the other male roll his eyes. He would chuckle as now he could smirk and be all cocky and high and mighty.
"Says the fifth year who doesn't know their way around the school" The male next to him would retaliate as he would roll his eyes at the comment. Man with all the eye rolling they have been doing he was surprised he wasn't knocked out on the floor.
"First of all i'm new, second of all how do you know what year I am?, stalker much?" Tatum would have spoken, in all honestly Tatum was just a dick but he enjoyed bugging people so he wasn't really threatened when someone called him a dick either. It's not something he really didn't know. And this statement he usually always said as a joke but this time he's not so sure.
"Did you forget that we were in the same train car with the same people?" He would speak as Tatum would have almost forgot that they were in the same car. But he had only walked in on the tail end of their conversation, as a matter of fact he walked in way after they all were talking.
"But you weren't there for any of that introduction, you came at the end" He would speak with a subtle raise of his eyebrow as he was genuinely confused by this statement by the other male.
"Fred and George are my mates, I asked why Ginny was holding Luna like someone tried to kidnap her and they said that she felt threatened by 'that' fifth year" He would speak with air quotes around the that. Making an o movement with his mouth Tatum had promptly shut up for the moment. The boys walked in awkward silence until they would reach the Slytherin common room.
"Now can I at least thank you by your name mystery boy" Tatum would speak while he turned looking at the Hufflepuff who would chuckle before shrugging.
"Cedric, Cedric Diggory" The male he had walked with finally spoke his name making Tatum smile as he would shake hands with the boy.
"Well thank you Cedric, but now I am off to bed" He would speak before almost immediately being stopped by the male he had now known to be Cedric Diggory.
"And your name?" He would speak simply as Tatum would smirk at the male as he would have been turned around slightly to look at the Hufflepuff.
"I don't know, what is my name Diggory" The male would speak with a small shrug as he would walk into the common room watching the male shake his head with a small smirk on his face as he would shake his head. Tatum would smile slightly before he was brought from his thoughts by Draco who sat awake still.
"I've been waiting for you forever where have you been Tatum" Draco would speak from the couch as he wore a simple pair of black pajamas. He would scratch the back of his neck nervously as he would look over the platinum blonde haired boy.
"I got lost on my way back, got caught by the Hufflepuff prefect, sucked major ass" He would speak as he would watch the male nod as he would make a considering face as he would pat the couch next to him for Tatum to sit next to him assumingely.
"sounds like it, must have been hell having to be escorted back by a Hufflepuff" Draco would have spoken making the male kinda shrug as he would honestly not have had any trouble with the Hufflepuff.
"Eh, not really, they didn't get my name though so I think i'm in the clear" He would speak with a small smirk as he would yawn a little bit as he would look at the blonde male who sat before him.
"Well that's good of course, maybe you should head to bed before you pass out on the floor" The blonde spoke as Tatum would find himself chuckling at the males comment as he would push his fingers through his hair.
"Thank you, i'll see you in the morning" The male would speak with a simple smile on his face as he would turn away from the blonde who would remain sitting on the couch as he would make his way to the room in which held various beds filled with different males Slytherins. His eyes fell over an empty bed as he would make his way to the bed as he would tuck his legs under the sheet allowing his head to lay on the pillow. He wasn't known as one to have a thorough good nights sleep but maybe after the crazy day he would be out like a light. And just like that he was asleep with little to no resistance.
