After war

First day, first impressions

I awoke to my brother yelling in the common room. I put on my clothes and shoes and walked down with my toothbrush in my hand. Reece and Alex were on the floor crying holding their sides.
"Bastards." He said begrudgingly.
Once Reece and Alex had caught their breath they stood up and gave each other a high five.
I at this point was still brushing my teeth.
"You've, you have toothpaste on your cheek come here." Reece said once stable enough to talk.
He stepped towards me and carefully wiped the minty cream off of my cheek.

When Josh and Noah finally woke up we all went down to the great hall for breakfast.

We then made our way to our first lessons.

Lessons dragged past and once dinner rolled round we were all falling to sleep into our pudding bowls.

Me and Reece were in the common room ages before the others. We were slowly followed by Josh and Noah, the last to return were Alex and Kalem. They stumbled into the common room at quarter to eight keeling over with laughter. Kalem stood straight wiping tears from his bright blue eyes. Whilst Alex pursued her laughter looking as though she was about to pee herself.

Noah and Josh were in a deep game of wizards chess and me and Reece were together by the fire taking up the entirety of the couch.
We sat up once the portrait swung open.

"Alright there?" I questioned as they bought themselves back to normality.
"Mmhm, yep we're fine." Kalem struggled to say before breaking down once again. They went and sat in a corner by them selves still laughing. The common room was deserted asides from me and my friends. All our first year companions were in their rooms studying and everyone else was just, sleeping or still in the hall.

Reece and I were spread out over the sofa reading our potions book. Professor slug horn was a funny master. He made me laugh at his dad jokes and puns, mainly because I make dad jokes and puns.

His arms draped over my shoulders and I turned the pages of my book.
I swung my legs over the side of the sofa to get up and get my drink from the table. As I sat back Reece began to tickle me causing me to fall to the ground laughing and squealing. I put up my hand after he stopped tickling me, he gave me his hand to help me up. He grabbed my hand and I pulled him onto the floor next to me. I proceeded to tickle him and we both laughed ourselves silly. We were beside ourselves before anyone noticed. Noah came over pushing his bushy blonde hair out of the way of his glasses.
"Umm guys?" He said awkwardly as I lay over Reece's stomach.
"Oh my god! Noah." I yelled in surprise.
"God I nearly crapped my self!" I announced louder than anticipated.
Everyone in the common room looked round at me and I felt myself turn a deep Crimson.
"Phhhhaahahahahhahaha!" Screeched Kalem as he fell off his chair laughing at my foolishness.
I pulled myself up and ran over the other side of the common room I knelt down to punch my brother when I felt a strong pair of welcoming hands grab my waist pulling me away. I spun round looking up into Josh's deep greeny brown eyes.
"Oi." I said a grin spreading across my face, he continues to hold onto me and the room fell silent.
"Hey! What're you playing at? You trying to pull my sister?" Kalem protectively stood up in front of me.
"What? No! Man come on I just saved your neck from this very feisty little muffin!"
"Hey! What's the matter boyfriend had enough has he?" I yelled
"Can I speak to you please." He said secretively.

We made our way out of the common room and into a deserted classroom.

"Um I need to tell you something, that only you can know. Okay? I can't have you telling anyone not even Reece!"
"What's the matter, your boyfriends being a bullies?" I teased .
An awkward silence rang between us. He looked to the floor going red.
"Oi that was a joke! We always joke about you having a boyfriend cos you're obsessed with how you look and your hair. Remember?" I say trying to get a laugh out of him.
"Uh, yeah." He said grimacing at his feet.
He looked up biting his lip.
"You, oh. My. God!" I said finding it hard to believe.
"Please don't make this a big deal and don't you dare tell anyone!"
"Okay I won't I promise!" I say standing on my tiptoes to wrap him in a tight hug.
