Minho startled awake to a violently shaking bed. He groaned, shoving his face into his pillow, realizing that he'll have to deal with constant disruptions to his sleep for the next week. Why did he agree to stay at the Leaky Cauldron with his friends again? He could've just bought the materials for his last year at Hogwarts and gone home to get in his final few moments of peace before he had to deal with everything else.

Looking around the room with squinted eyes, he winces at the bright light shining through his windows and reaches for his wand on the nightstand. He waves and points at the curtains, making them close. Sighing, he decided to get some more sleep before—

"Alohomora," Minho heard a voice recite the incantation from outside his door.

'Too late.' He grudgingly sat up in the rickety bed, waiting for the door to open.

And as soon as it does, a mop of blonde hair and the tall ferret attached to it makes a run for it and jumps onto the already-annoyed purple-haired boy.

"Hyunjin, get off."

Upon hearing the elders' menacing tone, the blonde gets off with a scramble, only to walk around the bed to jump on Minho's back.

Unsuspecting the sudden weight on his back, Minho let out a grunt. Then he heard a triad of voices and footsteps, running towards his room.

Chan enters Minho's field of sight with a rush. "Merlin's beard! Hyunjin, why are you so rambunctious this early in the morning?!"

Hyunjin snorts, "First of all, it's not early at all, it's nearly noon. Secondly, you would have been even worse if you were still eighteen."

Minho, who still has the life-sized human ferret on his back, finally spoke, "Could you not have let me sleep some more?"

Hyunjin shrugged, "I could've, but I didn't want to."

"Minho, we tried stopping him—"

"We?" Seungmin spoke up once he and Alicia arrived at the scene, "Chan was the only one trying to stop Hyunjin."

Alicia hummed, agreeing with the younger boy, "Yeah, we just wanted to see you hex Hyunjin again."

Minho tongued the inside of his cheek, "Well, it seems like you'll get what you want—" Hyunjin's eyes widened comically as he watched the elder's hand reach back towards his wand, "unless he gets off me in 5..4..3–" Hyunjin immediately got off and rushed to hide behind Seungmin, hearing Minho's countdown.

He didn't want his lungs to almost give out by having a tickling hex put on him again. Or worse.

"Anyway, since you're already up, get ready, we'll eat some breakfast and then get going and get our school materials from Diagon Alley," Chan told Minho.

"Oh and the others are on their way here, so try to be civil," Alicia added. "Unless you want me to bench you this quidditch season."

Before Minho could respond, the four hurried out his door and went downstairs to get a headstart on breakfast. He pulls himself up off his bed and walks over to one of his suitcases to get out a pair of decent clothes to change into, murmuring complaints about his quidditch captain. "She's younger than me by a year, yet she does not hesitate to boss me around. Tsk." Sighing, he goes to shower and get ready for the day. As well as give himself a pep talk to act as civil as possible.
