This is kind of a filler chapter before they go into fifth year so it doesn't have too much to do with the plot. Sorry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alfred's POV

I slept the best sleep of my entire life. I dont know how but all that excitement made me tired. But boy do I feel great.

The snow is deep and the sky is grey but in my heart its sunny and warm. Is it possible to feel this way about anything? Obviously since it seems like I'm feeling that way now.

I sit up in my bed, about to jump up and yell "GOOD MORNING WORLD!" the way I usually wake up, but I look around the room and... IM THE FIRST ONE AWAKE?! This is a rare occurrence. I have to tell Arthur!

I get dressed as quickly as possible, glad that I can wear whatever I want since it's the weekend. A red white and blue sweater with a large coat (is that what ppl wear when it's cold? Idk how would I know i live in the south XD), not bothering to change out of my sweatpants. It's just Arthur. Its Arthur though. Yeah, I gotta get dressed up. Who am I kidding I dont gotta worry, this is fine.

By the time I'm actually out of the dormitory, I'm wearing a nice sweater with a button up shirt's collar poking out from underneath and a brown overcoat with a nice pair of black slacks. I put on my only clean pair of boots and I'm off, practically running. Damn it I should've sent him an owl. Oh well.

By the time I'm in the dungeons, I'm out of breath. Why does the Slytherin dormitory have to be so far away from Gryffindor's? I knock on the door, giddy as a child.

When the door finally opens, Shelly answers in a nice sweater dress.

"Oh, hey Al." she says.

"What's up Shelly," I respond.

"Nothing. I'm guessing you're here to see Arthur?" she asks.

I smile. She knows me too well.

"Yeah."

"Alright. I'll cal him down." she says. As she dissapears from the door.

A few moments later I can only hear the distant yelling of "WAKE THE FUCK UP ARTHUR!  ALFRED FUCKING JONES IS HERE!!!"

and

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL SHELLY WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU IN MY ROOM!?"

Yup. That's Arthur.

"DID YOU NOT FUCKING HEAR ME THE FIRST TIME YOU LITTLE PIECE OF BACKSTABBING SHIT! I STILL HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU DUMPING ME SO DON'T YOU  START TALKING BACK!"

"WE WERE FUCKING TWELVE GET OVER IT!"

"I WON'T!"

"WE'RE IN THE SAME ROOM YOU CAN STOP FUCKING SCREAMING NOW!"

and then came a much deeper voice of as boy I knew to be named Lukas, "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU'RE LOUDER THAN EVEN MATTHIAS LAST NIGHT!!"

And then about ten voices, "WHAT?!"

Lukas and Matthias? Cute.

"I'M GOING TO BREAKFAST ASSHOLES!" yells my boyfriend.

Mm that's nice saying "my boyfriend"

A few minutes later Arthur walks out wearing black ripped jeans and a gray sweater. He seems surprised to see me waiting but then realizes what Shelly had said before they got into an argument.

"Is that always that crazy in the Slytherin dormitory?" I ask him as we begin our trek to the Great Hall.

"No. They just like to tease me sometimes." he shrugs it off.

"Oh come on Artie they ain't bullyin you right?"

He sighs and chuckles tiredly, "No. Shelly's just obnoxious and likes to take things too far."

"Oh." I say. "Guess what?"

Arthur looks up at me, his eyes telling me to go on.

"I woke up before everyone else!" I'm the living embodiment of a puppy.

He high fives me "Nice going idiot!"

I give him a smile. I enjoy our walks together. 

We chit chat, but it's mostly gossiping. I talk about how I can't wait for summer even though it's still winter, and how I'm thinking about getting some new glasses.

Arthur talks about how he doesn't want to turn fifteen, and I am on the opposing side.

After a while of walking, I stop and smile. Arthur turns around to look at me. "What is it?"

I just walk up close to him very slowly and soak in the adorable-ness of  Arthur's spreading blush.

"Alf-" cut off by a kiss. It's our second kiss ever. Just like the first one, but now I'm more sure. He doesn't pull away, which I'm incredibly happy about. Instinct drives my hands to his waist, and his to my neck.

When we pull away, we're both smiling. I don't get to see Arthur smile often. "Cheeky wanker," he says before he kisses my cheek and walks ahead, leaving me to smile and catch up.

"Is that all you're going to say?"  I ask.

He doesn't answer, but continues to smile and starts to hum the melody of Party in the USA.

I can't help but sigh. He's just so cute and perfect.

Whenever I catch up, his eyes widen for a second, as if remembering something. "Alfred, you didn't tell anybody right?"

"About what?" I ask, confused.

"About us!" he says as if it's obvious.

"Oh! No, I didn't tell anyone. I was too tired to. But everyone saw us last night on the dance floor, won't they already know?"

We stop walking and sit on a bench to talk. "Shelly just thought we were being best friends and all, you know? Of course Lukas and Vlad know, but that's because I told them beforehand. I can trust them. But nobody commented or anything. So I'm not particularly sure if people connected the dots or not." he finishes his explanation.

"Well, if nobody has found out yet, " I say, "then it's our little secret, alright?" I kiss him on the forehead and stand.

"It won't be if you keep kissing me where anybody can see."

"Oh please, it's early and a weekend. I don't think anybody's really down here." I say and then give him another kiss, this time on his cheek.

"Stop!"

"Nope." A kiss on his neck.

He just rolls his eyes and lets me. So I kiss him on the lips this time, and now he's kissing back. Our tongues do a little dance and so does my mind. Oh my how amazing this is.

We part to breath only for a second to go in for more.

It's innocent, but passionate.

We hear a couple of footsteps and immediately pull away and just act like we're walking again.

It's a Ravenclaw boy with black hair and brown eyes. He's short and doesn't seem to show much expression.

"Excuse me," he whispers as he walks past, about a pound of blush resting on his cheeks.

The good thing is, he didn't seem to see us.

"Who's that?" I ask Arthur.

"Kiku Honda. Ravenclaw fifth year. He's in the study group I'm in." he replies.

"Hmm," I can't help but feel a curiosity towards the boy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So it started out not that great, and then a little bit of an idea popped into my head. I NEED STORY SO YOU GET WHATEVER MY MIND COMES UP WITH EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT.

Anyway I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. In the next one I'm going to have them age up (can you tell I've been playing/watching the Sims) so they'll be fifth years.

Remember: Romano loves you! <3
