The act of waking up every morning never had any significance to you. Your eyes would open, you'd pull yourself out of bed, and get ready for work. When your eyes opened this morning, you weren't pulling yourself out of bed to do anything. It was Saturday, yes that thought occurred to you. But not only that, this beautiful woman you were totally bananas for, slept peacefully just an arms-length away.

Her back was to you, and you could trace every bone of her spine with your finger. Her short, dark hair, messy and tousled from sleep. You concentrated on the sound of her breathing, like the push and pull of the ocean's waves. This was the dream; as many drowsy mornings like this that she'd allow you to have.

The silence and peace, however short, was interrupted by a known beak-tapping on your bedroom window. You turn over to your left, grabbing the nightie off of the floor, and shimmying into it. Tina sat up, covering her upper half with the quilt. Your feet move swiftly across the cold, wood floor, drawing open the curtains to be greeted by Mildred, your New York pigeon. Pigeons go way less detected in the city compared to owls, you knew, and Mildred was born to be a messenger bird. She stuck out her little leg for you to remove the piece of paper. You watched her disappear behind the other apartments before closing the window.

"Looks like MACUSA business," you sighed. Tina's eyes were wide and searching, looking about the room with a dazed expression.

"I can't believe I actually-we actually...oh my." She shakes her head, hands covering her face. Your heart races with a growing sense of panic.

"No, Tina, please," you plead. "Please don't regret this. I'd hate myself thinking I made you do this against your will-"

"(Y/n), calm down." You're completely silent, and plop down beside her, pushing the message aside. "You know I wouldn't have said yes to this if I hadn't known what kind of trouble I can get into. You did nothing wrong." You allow yourself to exhale.

"I don't feel like I did, I mean... we've been together for what, nearly ten months now?"

"And it's not like we can exactly wait for marriage," she agreed. You felt it was safe to smile. She smiled back, blushing a bit.

"So you don't regret it?"

"Of course not. I only reacted the way I did because I was expecting to wake up in my own house."

"Absolutely. That makes sense."

"What did MACUSA send you, anyway?"

"Oh right!," you said, having forgotten to check. Taking the paper and scooting to the back of the bed, you unravel it and look over its contents. It was a list of things to prepare and bring for your trip to Taiwan. An ancient ruin sight was discovered there, and you were asked to join the team of curse-breakers to uncover it.

"When do you have to go, again?"

"Tuesday." She leaned on your shoulder and took hold of your free hand. You liked how her skin felt a little dry and cracked from the cold weather. She must've been chilly since she only had a quilt for cover. "I can give you something to throw on," you offered.

"If it's no trouble."

"No trouble, at all." You rummage through your drawer and pull out a warm flannel set. She takes them from you, quickly pushing aside the covers and getting dressed. "Any plans today?"

"None whatsoever," she replied.

"You wouldn't mind staying here? With me?"

"I'd love to."

A quick, short one to hold you guys over (I say that as if I know who even reads these lol).

The first book of the HP AU series I'll be posting is Harry Potter. The plot is completely original, and it'll take you through life from the first school year to adulthood.

After the basic plot is done and out of the way, I'll take requests for oneshots relating Harry. These can either be based on the plot, or something entirely different. For example, you can suggest a story about a Hufflepuff boy who's, I don't know, Neville's cousin or something like that. That's not the original plot, but I'll include it in the book and label it a special chapter.
