In the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw dorms, students were often awoken by the rest of the world waking up around them. Perhaps their eyes draw open slowly when sunlight filters through the cracks in curtains or maybe it's the persistent twittering of birds outside that annoys them so much they can't go back to sleep. Maybe it's the hustle and bustle of the rest of the school who were awake long before them moving around the grounds or maybe it's one of their friends who awoke earlier forcing them out of their dreams. Slytherin students however, woke up in a different way.
Often it would be by the creatures of the lake. There were occasions where one of them would come up and knock on the great big windows of the common room to make as much noise as possible. It was a kind of alarm clock - though no one ever asked for it, it worked. Sometimes one of the creatures would find the dorm windows and knock on those to wake particularly reluctant students. Though sometimes they would forget - leading to many, many students turning up late to class despite being warned to find themselves watches and alarm clocks. Today was one of those days.
'Useless things,' you groaned, messing with your hair in a last ditch attempt to make it look as if you hadn't just rolled out of bed and started on your way to class. You were positive you forgot something and the sick feeling of panic that it brought sat there waiting for you to act on it, yet you were too far away from the common room to go back and exactly ten minutes late for your potions class. It was a good thing you were one of Slughorn's brightest students and a proud member of the Slug Club because if you weren't you'd be serving your first detention tonight.
You tried to push open the door to the potions classroom as quietly as possible in hopes of avoiding every pair of eyes landing on you, but just as things always do, the door seemed to know you wanted it to move as quietly as possible and thus creaked with each tiny movement. As soon as it was opened just enough for you to squeeze through, you did and pushed it closed behind you, heading to a desk in the back of the room and unloading your cauldron and several books onto the desk. Unfortunately, you had landed yourself one of the worst seats in the house, next to a Gryffindor and not even a nice one.
'Forgot to set an alarm did you, beautiful?' Sirius Black lent in to whisper to you. You couldn't fathom why - it's not as if he cared if he got in trouble or not. You moved as far away as you could from him without falling off of your chair and ignored his existence, focusing in on the blackboard. Sirius hissed. 'So cold.'
'I've told you a thousand times Black, I'm not interested in becoming another girl on your list,' you hissed through the corner of your teeth, watching as Slughorn charmed a piece of chalk to write on the black board on it's own accord. The word 'Amortentia' became the heading and several lines of text scrawled itself underneath it.
'Who said I had a list?'
'Girls talk Sirius.'
'Well, whichever one told you that is a liar.'
'To be honest, I'd trust her over you any day,' you unravelled a piece of parchment and put the end of your brand new quill in your mouth to free a hand to open your jar of ink. Sirius sighed, running a hand through his hair and before he could speak, you let him know you weren't willing to hear it.
Sirius has had a thing for you since first year. He follows you around like a lost puppy and at this point it's getting more than just annoying. You just didn't ever see yourself with him, he did nothing but bully your friends and get himself into trouble, he just wasn't the kind of guy you would ever be able to stay with for longer than one night - which seems to work well for him seeing as half of the Slytherin girls talk about how 'Gryffindor sucks but Sirius' tongue works wonders'. Plus, if you're being honest, you already had heart eyes for somebody else.
