As the first rays of morning light filtered through the Room of Requirement, Ophelia and Sebastian found themselves entangled on the cozy sofa. Sebastian, reluctant to let go of the warmth they shared, suggested a few more minutes of cuddling before facing the day.

"I could stay like this forever, but we should probably get up."

Despite the impending responsibilities, they savored a few more moments in their embrace. The world seemed to fade away as they enjoyed the simple pleasure of being close to each other.

Eventually, the need to get ready for the day pulled them from their cocoon of warmth. They separated, each heading into a different room to change into their Slytherin uniforms. Ophelia enchanted her hair with a swift wave of her wand, and with newfound readiness, they ventured outside.

Sebastian, however, struggled with his tie, and Ophelia couldn't help but smile at the endearing sight. She approached him, her nimble fingers expertly fixing his tie. As their eyes met, a silent understanding passed between them.

Their gaze intensified, drawing them into a world of unspoken connection. Ophelia's green eyes met Sebastian's brown ones, creating a magnetic pull that seemed to transcend the confines of mere eye contact. Their eyes flickered to each other's lips, and in that charged moment, it felt like a kiss was inevitable.

Just as they leaned closer, a sudden interruption broke the spell. Deek, the house elf, entered the room with a reminder about breakfast, oblivious to the delicate situation he had walked into.

"Deek is very sorry to interrupt, but Master and Miss must hurry to breakfast, or they be late!"

Embarrassed, Ophelia and Sebastian parted, their cheeks flushed with a rosy hue. They made their way to the Great Hall, brushing hands at times and stealing glances that spoke volumes.

During breakfast, they found themselves bombarded with questions from Violet, Anne, and Ominis, who assumed a particularly good time had taken place between the two of them. Ophelia and Sebastian clarified that they simply talked the entire night and fell asleep on the astronomy tower.

As they left for their first lesson, Potions with Professor Sharp, the air between them held a subtle tension—an unspoken acknowledgment of the emotions that had surfaced in the Room of Requirement.
