I woke up two days later. My body ached. No one was in the hospital wing when I woke up. I was okay with that. I would've been to embarrassed to talk to Narcissa and slightly scared to talk to Tom. I didn't remember much besides my dreams and sitting on the balcony. I don't know how I ended up in the hospital wing.

I drank a glass of water besides my bed. After getting the all clear to leave the hospital wing I walked to the prefects bathroom. I still had access being head girl. I took off my nightgown and slipped into the water. I knew all the prefects had class at that moment so I assumed I would be unbothered. But I had forgotten that Tom was in dada at the moment and loved to skip that class. Tom walked into the bathroom expecting no one to be there. He noticed someone in the bath out of the corner of his eye and looked away.
"I'm so sorry! Please knock the door next time my god!"
"Tom it's me. I forgot to lock the door, I figured everyone was in class.."
He uncovered his eyes and ran to the bath. I was greatful that all the bubbles covered my body, he lifted my head from the water and kissed me.
"I didn't know you woke up, I would've been there I'm sorry."
I forgot how charming he was... and in that moment I decided, I could play the part... it'll be fun.
"Why don't you get in the water with me?"
"I would love nothing more"
We sat on opposite sides of the large bath before I finally got the courage to speak.
"Do you know how I ended up in the hospital wing, I remember the whole night until I was sitting on the balcony. My memory ends at that point."
"It's my fault. I came to find you and I saw you lean over the balcony just slightly to far. And instead of running to you, I panicked and sent a spell to pull you back towards me but misfired and hit the railing you were sitting on, the railing came out from under you and you went falling. If I hadn't have done that you would've been fine.. I'll never forget your scream."
The look of guilt on his face made me forgive him. I knew he was a bad person but I still loved him.
"Your forgiven"
He swam closer to me taking a seat next to me. After a moment of sitting there quietly I climbed onto his lap putting a leg on either side of his hip. I looked into his eyes before kissing his lips. Suddenly aware of our lack of clothes.
"Y/n"
He groaned my name softly. Rubbing my thigh and kissing my chest. A threw my head back relaxing with his touch. He lifted me out of the bath before wrapping us in towels.
"Would you like to take this back to my room or the room of requirement?"
"Your pick. As long as you carry me Tom."
He laughed looking at me like I was his next meal.... His gaze teasing me.

We helped each other into robes before he cast an invisibility charm on us to avoid questions from teachers. And he carried me to the room of requirement.
