"I hope you know what you're doing." He mumbled. His face was a white sheet hidden in this dark room.

The smaller boy snorted quietly and placed the painting in the room. 

"Sal, you don't mind do you?" He whispered almost silently. The painting made no sound as it held up a thumbs up. "Thank you."

The boys left silently making sure not to leave any traces of themselves. 

"Malachi, " the smaller boy stopped in the hallway. "You wanna, maybe, go back to my room so they can't find you immediately?"

Malachi couldn't stop the blush from rising. "That was the worst pickup line I've ever heard. Normally it's supposed to be funny or sexually frustrating but... maybe I would like to go room tonight." Avery's face flushed brightly. "For future reference, I would rather be  taken to dinner first before you try anything highly inappropriate good sir."

"Oh, so there is a way to get the great Malachi in my bed."

"Avery stop acting dense, there a very few I would crawl into bed with," he walked closer to the blushing boy. "but if you tried a little harder, I might be inclined to make that number higher." tapping the cheek of the now stumped boy, he giggled and ran off towards Avery's room. 

"Wait, who are the others?!" Avery whisper yelled chasing after the boy.

"Why don't we just share the room from now on?"

"You know why, the painting would knot his knickers if he found out." She leaned down from her position and kissed his nose. 

He pulled her down until she was locked in his arms. "How would he find out?"

"He's a Slytherin and the last thing we need is a snake to be set down the halls to make sure we are in the right beds."

She kissed him right when his mouth opened to talk again.

"It's not that bad to just continue doing this is it?" She asked breaking away to breathe. She took in his rough look. 

Nothing truly explicit, minus some experimenting and teasing, had happened the night before. Neither one was ready to go the whole way and they both were content to just let it happen in due time. 

"But you're so comfortable."

"Awe how cute." she playfully pinched his cheeks. 

"I'm not cute, I'm hot, big difference." He said pulling her cold hands off his cheeks. 

She giggled turning her back to Tom.

"Whatever you sa- ....!"

"Good Morning Alexandrea. Had a pleasant night I see."

"S-Sal."

"Fucking hell." Tom sat up behind the stiffly sat Alex. His exposed torso pressed up to her near-bare back. 

"I see it was a pleasant night for you too, Tom."

"Sal, not that this isn't a nice way to wake up..." The painting snickered behind his book. "... but how long have you been there?"

"Long enough to know that you two are very lucky that I'm in a painting, otherwise there would surely be a bump on the back of your heads."

"Sal that's not fair, we were just cuddl- No, you know what, this is a huge breach of our privacy."
