     I was walking to class with Enzo because we were going to meet the rest of the group there. We all had herbology together because Slytherin and Hufflepuff shared a class today. When we got to the door we saw Theodore, Draco, Blaise, but no Mattheo. Weird, I thought to myself.
     "Hey you two, ya ready?" Theo asked whilst wrapping his arm around Enzo's shoulders and patting his shoulder. This is one of Enzo's biggest peeves. Well, Theo being near him is his biggest pet peeve. It's a running joke so it's not that big of a deal.
     "Yeap, where's Mattheo?" I ask whilst looking around slightly.
     "Not sure, I haven't seen him since the first period, Transfigurations. He's been gone all day," Draco said whilst walking into class. We followed behind him but I grew worried because he usually shows up when we're going to class. He doesn't usually like to show up but it's weird that he shows up to one class and then skips the rest. Maybe he's not feeling well?

~ Once class ended ~

     "Oh my merlin, I thought that class would last forever!" Draco complains loudly.
     "Oh shut up, if you paid attention then it would go by faster," I said back. He rolled his eyes and walked ahead of us to catch up to Pansy who was exiting her class from across the hall to us. Blaise followed because he wants to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid which is a daily occurrence for him. "Anyway, how's-" I would have finished my sentence but I saw a little dark colored cat in the corner of the hall. 
     "How's what?" Theo questioned me but I didn't respond. I ran over to it and encouraged it over to me. It gladly came over and ploped itself onto my lap. It was soft and had little curls in its hair. Its hair was a mix of black and brownish- more so a dark brown.
     "Oh my god, dude, can't we go anywhere without you ignoring us for an animal or something!? Just the other day-" Theo began to say whilst lighting a cigarette but I cut him off.
     "And what's wrong with that?" I looked at him and squinted my eyes. He rolled his eyes playfully and rested his hands on my shoulders. The cat was lying down in my lap now and he was so adorable. I started talking to him and my voice turned into a baby voice because if you don't talk to animals like that you're a menace to society and you should be in jail. I picked him up and looked at him. "I'm gonna call you Roman," I say whilst holding him like a baby in my arms.
     Enzo and Theo stayed with me all the way into the Slytherin common room and they invited me to sit with them by the fire so I accepted. When we all sat down Theo lit a cigarette and Enzo helped me with my homework.
     "You know theo, school would be easier if you did your work," I say whilst side eyeing him. He shrugged at my comment and took a big breath in of his cigarette.
     "Yeah but this helps relax when it's tough so..." he just shrugged and held it out to Enzo to take. He did.
     "Hey- why don't I get it?" I didn't want it but he never offers it which is lowkey annoying.
     "We don't want to harm those pretty little lungs of yours, do we?" He said whilst leaning closer. I rolled my eyes and Enzo looked at him like he was about to throw him into the black lake and hold him down there. He flirts with everyone but mainly me and Enzo, I swear there is something not straight about that boy. He's even tried it with Mattheo, when they were drunk they kissed but that's it. We all make fun of him for that but it got boring when Theo finally accepted it. Roman snuggled into me more and nesseled his head under my hand so he could be pet which I obviously did.
     "Looks like some little kitty is desperate for your attention," Enzo smirked and held eye contact with Roman. "What did you get for 11?" He said changing the subject. We only had Transfiguration homework which I'm so happy for. I didn't have homework for the rest of my classes but for the ones I did I finished charms in class and Theo gave me the homework answers for potions so I didn't have to do anything for that.
     "11..." I mumbled whilst looking at my papers, "I got-" I was cut off by Roman rolling on my hand when I tried flipping through the papers. "Aww, you're so cute," I say whilst grabbing him and putting him in my lap again. "I got paragraph 17 lines 5-6," he nodded and looked back to his paper to write it down. "Have you seen Mattheo by the way? I thought we would have seen him by now but I haven't." Enzo and Theo both shook their heads and I looked back around the Slytherin common room and didn't see him. Enzo looked at Roman and smiled but soon went back to his own business.
     Suddenly I felt little claws in my shirt and saw Roman clinging onto my shirt, climbing up. I giggled at his actions and helped hold him. He settled down a little bit and kind of clung onto my robes.
     "Hey, it's kinda late. You go back to your room and I'll give you the rest of the answers tomorrow?" Theo suggested to which I made a dramatic gasp.
     "The Theodore Nott, suggesting I take care of myself!? I love it, do it more," I laughed it off. He rolled his eyes and took another puff of his cigarette that he just got back from Enzo.

Mattheo's pov:

     Damn. I don't get any credit for it? That ass. I told him to say that. Whatever. I'm warm, comfortable, she smells nice- wait- ignore that last one. But she's soft, cuddly, sweet, and I could fall asleep any second - wait, shut up. She's your best friend. Those are normal thoughts right...? She started to pack up her papers and stuff them in her bag. I clung onto her robes more because I didn't want to fall. Luckily cats land on their feet so it wouldn't be the end of the world. She grabbed me again and we headed off to her dorm. It was kind of cold in her room. It'll be really awkward if I turn back into a human and she's off doing something and turns around and I'm just there. McGonagall said that it would wear off eventually but didn't give me a specific time. I could tell Enzo is on the verge of laughter. Wby didn't he tell her? That's a question I don't think I'll get an answer to.
     She laid me down on her bed and I immediately felt cold again. I miss her warmth- before I knew it a meow came out of my mouth. I wanted to groan but it was a meow. What the hell? She turned around and looked at me then went back to her bag. She put everything down and started to take off her robes. I shouldn't be watching this... but she's cute... but it's wrong to do that... but I'm curious... but she deserves her privacy. I close my eyes and turn around on her bed. She comes over to me and gives me a kiss on the head. Holy Merlin. I think I'm in love. Wait a damn minute- She walks into the bathroom and starts doing whatever it is girls do before bed. 10 minutes later she is still not out so I jump off the bed and walk over. She noticed me almost immediately and smiled. She had a toothbrush in her mouth and still picked me up. She put me on the counter beside the sink she was using but she had little bags of just... stuff. She was putting half the stuff on her face and the other half wasn't being used. It smelt weird so I went near it and accidentally knocked a bunch of stuff over. There were loud noises for a solid 6 seconds.
     "You are not a careful cat," she giggled and picked it up. She was smiling and Merlin, I love that smile. Once she was done she picked me up and brought me over to her bed. I layed down on her chest and she started petting me. All the lights were turned off and she lent down to my ear and started whispering. "Mattheo I know it's you, your eyes give it away," she let out a little laugh. "We'll figure it out tomorrow." after that and fell asleep in a matter of seconds after. How- damn.

~ a little later in the night ~

I can hear her heartbeat as if it was the only thing that existed in that moment. I opened my eyes to see that I was a person again! And I was lying with her in her bed. Her left hand was in my hair and the other loosely on my back. My head was in her chest while my arms were wrapped around her, and our legs entwined. I put my head back down and slept the best night I have in the 16 years I've been alive.
