I WOKE UP FAR TOO EARLY. it must've been 6am when i woke, but i went to bed pretty early, too. regulus said we had to be up early everyday, but i assume he meant more around 7-8. the villa was unsettlingly quiet and i knew if i left my room i would wake everyone.

i checked the time, and to my surprise, it was 6:46am. so i only had around fifteen unbearable silent time to myself in this new room. i decided to unpack, seeing as we'd be here practically the whole summer and there was no point in keeping all this stuff in suitcases when i had nothing better to do.

fifteen minutes pass, my belongings tucked away where they belong in this new room. i began hearing movement outside, people going to the bathroom, talking, etcetera.

so i stepped onto my balcony and knocked on regulus's door. i could've knocked on his front bedroom door but it was outside where the parents and beau could see us and i'm sure they'd talk about it too much.

"morning," i smiled, as he opened the door, rubbing his eyes. something about last night convinced me that he's not so bad and i should just suck it up and get along with him.

he yawned, letting me into his bedroom, and i couldn't help but notice his shirtless torso. i looked up at his face and didn't dare look anywhere else. he finally noticed he was missing a shirt and ran to throw one on.

"sorry about that," he mumbled, pulling it over his head. his morning voice sounded softer than his usual, a raspy and gruff hint in it. "morning."

"just wanted to make sure you were awake," i said quietly. "pretty sure everyone else is."

"okay, thanks."

he didn't seem to grateful but i nodded awkwardly and stepped back into the balcony and to my room. i went into my bathroom — attached to my room, or so i assumed — and nearly fainted when i saw regulus again.

"shit. we share a bathroom, too?" he laughed. i shrugged.

"i've already put my stuff in here," i said. he scrunched up his face at me. "i woke up early and didn't know what to do."

"okay." regulus had his teasing face on. he was mocking me for being organised. "well, i'm sure that's not as impressive as the fact i brought my toothbrush from my room, eh?"

"oh, shut up." i smacked his arm, but i was grinning as i grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste. "you're not showering, are you?"

"no, i'll do that after breakfast," he said. "i hope you're not either, or you'll be lectured by the one and only walburga black for punctuality."
