THEY RAN DOWN THE ENDLESS steps of the astronomy tower, following behind Peeves' taunts.
"Students out of bed, naughty, naughty students out of bed!" Peeves cackled a couple of steps down.
"Screw you Peeves!" Mattheo yelled down the stairs.
Finn didn't know what Mattheo tried to accomplish with that and shot a confused look over her shoulder, she knew this would spur Peeves on even more.
"STUDENTS OUT OF BED, BAD-MOUTHING STUDENTS OUT OF BED!"
"Sorry, I forget what an arsehole he is, sometimes," Mattheo shrugged.
"He better not have awoken any of the teachers yet," Theo spoke.
"Let's hope Professor Binns made it back to his room in time and he didn't fall asleep on his desk again," Seb sighed.
"That ghost sleeps through anything," said Mattheo.
"No one sleeps through Peeves," Theo stated.
"Just have to make sure to avoid Filch and Mrs Norris," Finn said, slightly out of breath.
"Speaking of, have you brought those cat sweets for Nyx?" Mattheo asked.
"You're bringing that up now?" Finn said unbelievably.
"No, for Mrs Norris."
"Right, no I didn't bring 'em with me here. They're still in my suitcase in my dorm."
"Bollocks!" Theo whisper-yelled and had come to a sudden stop at the bottom of the stairs.
Finn almost bumped into him and stood on her toes to see over his shoulder. She caught a glimpse of Filch disappearing behind the wall.
Theo pressed his back against the wall left of the doorway to the hall.
Finn followed his actions and stood on the right, carefully watching Filch in the corner of her eye.
Theo had pulled Seb next to him and he nervously tapped his foot.
Mattheo stumbled behind them from the stairs. He stood still before the doorway, screwing up his face in confusion.
Finn quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the hallway's sight.
He bumped into her, their bodies tightly pressed together.
She felt every muscle in his torso and legs.
He smirked as he looked down. "Certainly can get used to this, Achlys.
Finn huffed and pushed him off, pressing her arm against his chest to place him against the wall. "Be quiet."
"Yes, milady."
"Speak of the devil," Seb murmured.
Filch stood left from the door of the astronomy tower, crouched down to pet Mrs Norris. How she hadn't heard the lot of them, was a mystery to Finn.
