Pay Attention Jauregui! (Harry Potter!AU)

Chapter 25

During the night Lauren woke several times, mostly due to needing water or food and of course a toilet break. Every time Camila would make sure that the injured girl had what she needed before she allowed herself to fall asleep again. By the time morning rolled around, Lauren was fast asleep and thanks to the various potions and poultices the doctor had used, she was looking a lot less bruised, even the cuts were fading nicely.

Camila was exhausted but she couldn't sleep, mainly due to the two voices that insisted on whisper shouting to each other as they stepped delicately (read stomping ill naturedly for Normani) around the room. The Gryffindor frowned and shifted in the bed again, laying a hand on Lauren's warm shoulder for reassurance as she tried in vain to block out the voices.

"Mani...no, those are Camila's draws, she said to put Lauren's stuff in the chest of drawers on this side of the room."

There was a moment of blessed but confused silence.

"Then why in the Hell did you send me to this side of the room?"

A deep sigh.

"I didn't! you just...went to that side, and don't put Lo's pants in the bottom drawer, they always go in the top drawer!"

There was a louder and deliberately exaggerated sigh, which was obviously the Slytherin's, as she slid one draw shut and then pulled out another instead.

"This is dumb, it shouldn't matter which draw pants are in, and mine go in the bottom drawer so why can't Lo's?"

Dinah's matter of fact reply made Camila bite her lip to prevent from laughing out loud.

"Because most people think about their pants as the first item of clothing they put on, you however think of them last...if at all."

Camila wasn't sure what nonverbal reply Normani had made but she heard Dinah chuckle in response, for a while there was silence and Camila relaxed against the obliviously sleeping form of the battered Ravenclaw. Then her eyes widened as she heard a distinct kissing sound and realized it was silent for only one reason, praying she was wrong, the Gryffindor closed her eyes tightly and buried her head against Lauren's shoulder. Hoping against hope that she wouldn't hear what she thought she might.

"Hey Dinah...you want to check if I'm wearing pants now?"

With a scowl Camila pushed herself into a sitting position, her rant was already half out of her mouth before she had even completed the move to upright.

"Normani Kordei, can you not keep it in your pants for more than five minutes, I had a very unrestful night and I am trying to sleep now, something I might add which is not helped by you two prattling on about underwear!"

Dinah was smirking slightly as Camila took in the fact that the two girls in front of her were several feet apart and organizing the stuff from Lauren's bedroom, Normani rolled her eyes and fishing out a galleon handed it over to the Hufflepuff.

"Thanks a bunch Cabello, you just cost me! It's not my fault that you're too good an actress, I actually thought that you were fast asleep."

Huffing, the Slytherin turned back to shoving books randomly on the bookcase that Leroy had moved into the bedroom earlier, that had also woken up the temperamental Gryffindor. At the random organization Camila scrambled hastily from the bed pausing only to pull the blankets back over Lauren's gently snoring form.

"Normani...what type of order is this supposed to be! There's genres mixed completely up, you have science fiction next to fantasy...in the middle of the crime books...oh my stars, this is nothing but a mess!"
