Now, onward to the story!!

Ember woke up to the sun shining on her face, the realization that it was morning already made her jump out of bed. She didn't mean to sleep this long and was concerned people from the Ministry or one of the many people working for Jack Adwell would come looking for them here.

She got up and threw her shoes on before running her fingers through her hair in an attempt to make it look decent. When she went to leave the bedroom, she jumped when she saw Jake was asleep on the couch across the way. She gave a small smile at the memory of being with him last night. She quietly opened the door and backed out of it as she was careful not to wake him, closing the door as gently as possible.

"Good Morning."

She jumped and gasped loudly at the sound of Scorpius' voice as he leaned against the wall outside of the bedroom with his arms folded.

"You scared the shit out of me," she said, slapping him.

"Sorry," he laughed. "So how did you sleep?" he asked her as they walked down the hall.

She gave him a quick side glance, a wide smile was planted on his face. "Uh, fine," she mumbled.

"Mmhmm."

"What?" she asked him.

"Nothing." he shrugged, his smile growing even wider.

She just looked at him. "I hate you. Why are you able to pick up on these things?" she growled out in frustration as she quickened her pace.

"Listen, it's not my fault that as your twin brother I have the ability to pick up on your feelings... or other things."

"Other things?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yep, like when you've done something you regretted, or when you have a secret and you can't say... or when you get laid."

"Ew, gross how did you know that?" she snapped.

"I didn't, but you just confirmed it," he said with a smug smile.

"Dammit Scorpius, I swear you're a bloody asshole sometimes," she said as she slapped him a few more times.

He just laughed at her. "Sorry, it was just so obvious. Jake went to go talk to you, he didn't come back to sleep in our room, you were missing for a while... he was missing for a while-"

"Ok, I get it." she snapped before stopping in the hallway and leaning up against the wall.

She rubbed her face and then ran her hands through her hair before sighing.

"What's wrong? Not everything you thought it would be?" he teased her further.

She just gave him this deadly glare before he stared back at her with a smirk causing her to bite her lip from laughing.

"You're such an arse, I swear." she laughed. "And the only thing I didn't imagine happening when that time came was it happening in the bathroom of the Zabini Estate," she mumbled before they both started laughing harder.
