Nora's POV

After dinner in the Great Hall, I was walking through a wave of students to find my friends. But they were nowhere to be seen. That's when I heard Iris calling my name, "Nora!" "Oh. Hey there. I've been looking for y'all." I said.
"The head girl wants us. We don't share the same dorm as our housemates it seems," said Carla. "Okay, we shall go then."

They led me back to the Great Hall and there were only the staff, the prefects have left to sort the students out. I knew who the head girl was, Penelope Clearwater, Percy Weasley's girlfriend.

"Hello, I'm Penelope Clearwater, Ravenclaw too. Your parents have requested on giving you separate rooms to the Headmaster. So, you are gonna stay in the rooms allotted for this purpose. You can still use the common rooms though."

We were currently walking to the rooms she was talking about. And we walked past a few students who were lurking around. Clearwater had to shoo them back to their dorms.

When we arrived at a wall with a portrait of a beautiful veela she was looking glorious, no wonder why they call them irresistible. "The password is Mermaids" said Clearwater and the Veela nodded.

The door swung open and we were met with a cozy living room like place. It had a fireplace and couches, it was more like a common room. "You have other houses staying here too, and you should spend some time in the real common room so that you get along with your housemates." Penelope finished.

"Okay, are we all supposed to stay in the same room?" asked Iris. "No, you do get separated rooms. But as long as you don't want, you can share rooms," replied the head girl. She showed to our rooms as we talked about other school rules. Mine was the final room and it was comfortable.

I thanked Clearwater and went in to take a shower and it was 21:00. I walked out of the shower at about one hour later as I was caught up with my own imagination and thinking.
I changed into a PJ set and walked out to go to Ainsley's room where we decided to meet after a 'quick' freshen up.

I was kind of lost, all the rooms looked the same and it didn't even have a fucking name board.
When I came across a particular room I had a familiar feeling so I opened it, why bother knocking? It's not like she's gonna be snogging someone.

And I realized I shouldn't have done it. I was met with a sight I couldn't take my eyes off. Draco Malfoy was lying on his bed with only a towel loosely wrapped around his waist and his hair was wet.

I felt my heartbeat raising and I gulped at the sight. He had his eyes close and suddenly he opened his eyes hearing the door creak as it swung ever so slightly from the wind coming through the opened window.

When our eyes met I closed the door shut so quickly and leaned against the wall beside the opposite door. The door beside me opened and Carla came out. "Hey.. What's up? You look all flustered," she asked squinty her eyes.

I shook my head quickly and went inside the room. "Hey. You all right, you look like a tomato," asked Iris. "I'm alright" I said still out of breath.

They just ignored my behavior and continued whatever conversation they were having earlier.

Fuck. I just witnessed an essentially naked Draco Malfoy. And it's even more embarrassing that he caught me staring. I didn't listen to the conversations they were talking and just answer when they asked me something.

I was planning how to bury myself after that. When they were all done talking and wanted to sleep, it was 22:33. They said goodnights. Carla and I's rooms were just few doors away from Ainsley's and Iris was two doors away from my right. Carla and Iris walked out and I stayed back as I was zoned out. "Hey, What's wrong? You were like zoned out the entire while" asked Ains.

"OH. Nothing, just- thinking." I replied. She frowned and whined "Then get the fuck out I'm sleepy" I sighed and said goodnight and left the room.

When I walked out the opposite door swung opened and my eyes widened at the sight him. I turned on my heels and hurried to my room when he opened his mouth to say something.

Fuck! That was fucking embarrassing. I shouldn't have opened that goddamn door without knocking. I fell on my bed, face pressed to the pillow and shouted like a maniac. It was obviously muffled which I was thankful for. I slowly drifted thinking about the day.
