By the time Hermione and I made our way into the boys, they were barely fit to stand on their own feet.
"Did you two drink my whole supply?" I laughed as Draco lunged at me, enveloping me in a bear hug.
"Ade, Addalie, you need to sit down." He hiccuped.
"Ok, why exactly do I need to sit down?"
"So I can go through the chart we've made." Ron added quite proud of himself.
The board they had been using had a lot of writing on it, but there wasn't much that I could make out. It looked like Draco had written on one side and Ron on the other, and they somehow met in the middle.
"Hermione, love - wait to see the system we divided. You will be so proud." Ron grinned.
"I'm sure I will, honey."
"She called me honey," Draco scrunched up his nose. "Sorry ma'am, but I am in love with Addal-where did she go? Addalie?"
He looked around as I rolled my eyes but laughed. "Draco, I'm right here. You told me to sit down. And Hermione was talking to Ron."
"When?" Ron asked.
"Just now when she called you honey."
"She called Draco honey." Ron pouted.
"No, Addalie doesn't call me honey. She calls me love. Or baby." Draco smiled.
"She calls you a baby? Hahah!" Ron bellowed.
"Not a baby, honey. She calls him baby. It's an endearing term."
"It's a what?" Ron asked.
"Never mind," she rolled her eyes. "What do you want to show us."
"Oh yes! We want to show you the system we devised," Draco said. "Sit down...please."
"We are sitting." I said, rolling my eyes again, trying not to laugh. "Baby, just show us the system."
"How does she know bout the system?" Ron asked, confused. "And why did you call him baby. We call you babe, not baby. You are babe, and Hermione is honey."
"So what am I?" Draco asked.
"Hmmm, I don't have one for you - let's make one. What would you like to be, mate?" Ron asked, clapping Draco's back.
"Stud?" Draco laughed.
"Ok, stud it - wait, you want me to call you stud?" Ron asked, disgusted.
"No, actually - absolutely not!"
"What about Drakey?" Ron tried to cover up his laugh.
"Fuck no! Astoria the evil succubus used to call me that. Nope nope nope! How about just mate?"
"It's simple...I like it. Mate it is." Ron looked very pleased with the choice.
"Seriously?" Hermione asked.
"What?" Both boys asked.
"I will explain it tomorrow guys. If I try now we will be here all bloody night!" I laughed. "So this system you were going to tell us about..."
The boys must have spent about an hour going through the plan and to be honest Hermione and I just smiled along because really it made fuck all sense but we didn't want to discourage the boys. They seemed so proud of what they had made.
I would ask them again in the morning.
Ron gave a large yawn and leant his head on Hermione's shoulder. "Ok, mister," she chuckled. "It's time to get you home and into bed."
