Bailey sneezed, wiping her nose with the back of her hand. She had a rather bad cold and so Humphrey had confined her to the walls of her own dorm room. Maria Corners, one of her dorm mates, was sat on her bed, playing her guitar. Her dark fingers glided over the strings with ease as she played a beautiful melody.

To be quite honest, Bailey had always had a childish crush on Maria. Who didn't? She was utterly mesmerising. But, she didn't like girls. Maria had a boyfriend, who this certain boy was, though, was an unknown piece of information. She spoke highly of him. He was wealthy, proud, intelligent, cunning. Hopelessly handsome.

"If you don't stop that sneezing, I won't hesitate to leave," Maria complained, raising an eyebrow at Bailey, who of which was huddled up under a bunch of blankets with a red nose and teary eyes.

She replied with a roll of her eyes, "I can't help it, can I?" But, Maria had ignored her and gotten back to her music. Bailey didn't mind all that much it was a sight to behold.

"Ria," Another of Bailey's dorm mates opened up the door and peeked her head inside, "Barty's waiting downstairs for you. Says he wants to see you."

Bailey completely forgot about being cold, feeling sick, or being tired and sat up with so much force that she hurt her back. She let out a groan of pain before looking back up at the two other girls. "Barty? Crouch? That's your boyfriend?"

"Yeah...you got a problem with that?"

"No. No, of course not. I'm just- er- shocked, is all."

Regulus looked up from his diary when somebody knocked on his door. Bailey was stood in the doorway, smothered in an oversized jumper, a blanket around her shoulders and a frown on her face. "Is Humphrey here?" Her voice was croaky and strained when she asked the question.

"No, no he's not. He's snuck into the Ravenclaw dorms for Milo." She let out a sigh, kicking the door closed with her feet as she waddled over to Regulus, rather like a penguin. This made Reg laugh and he placed his diary and the sketches that covered his bed away as he held out his arms for her to fall into. He pulled her under the covers and she snuggled her face into his chest.

He pressed the back of his fingers to her forehead and gasped at the immense heat. "Bloody hell, Bay, you're boiling." She groaned and pulled the covers tighter around her.

"No, I'm fucking freezing." Her face was completely hidden by her hair of which looked to be half curled and half knotted. He supposed that she had started curling it but then gotten fed up and given up. 

"Do you have a fever?" She shook her head. "Have you got a headache? A cough? Sneezing?" She nodded to all three. He let out a sympathetic noise and wrapped his arms tighter around her waist. "S'okay, you'll be alright. You can stay here tonight, yeah? Humphrey will be with Milo all night, and Crouch, Avery and Mulciber are out."
