Wills POV:
I grumpily sat at the gryffindor table. I sat next to Ginny. I didn't see anybody else from the train, though.

"Where's everyone else?" I asked curiously.

"Luna is at the ravenclaw table with Nico, Neville is in hufflepuff, and Corey is in slytherin. I feel bad for Corey, though. He keeps getting bullied by the other slytherins." Ginny explained. She seemed sad. I could relate.

"When do we get to talk to the other students outside of our house?" I question Ginny, giving her puppy eyes. She patted my head with semi-fake sympathy. I sighed and moved her hand. She started to laugh.

"Well, after classes we get to. During free periods we get to. And the classes get combined with each other, so it'll happen eventually." She answered with a sad smile.

I started to eat, which is when I realized Nico probably wouldn't eat because i wasn't there to tell him to. I looked over to the Ravenclaw table to see Luna and Nico hitting it off. Everyone around them seemed wary of Neeks. But Nico wasn't eating. I walked over to him. His back was to me and Luna didn't give Nico a hint.

I know Nico has PTSD so I know that if I surprised him, he'd probably attack me on instinct. Which would be awkward for many reasons. So instead, I sat next to him, and he still didn't notice me. I pecked him on the cheek. He turned quickly around to see me and smacked my cheek playfully. it did kind of stung, though.

"No." He announced to me. I started laughing and then his blush deepened.

"C'mon Neeks, put some food on your plate. You gotta eat, Death Breath." I reminded him, putting my arm around his shoulder.

He sighed. "Sunshine, I thought you couldn't sit here?" He danced around the request. I gave him a pointed look. He hummed in annoyance and grabbed some pomegranate seeds and a turkey leg. He looked at me, daring me to tell him to get more.

"That's perfect, Death Boy, just maybe you should get more vegetables. Asparagus? Mushrooms? Broccoli?" I challenged him gently. He harrumphed and grabbed some mushrooms.

"That's more like it." I approved, nodding.

"So, I learned that we both will be present when one of us is teaching, but as a student. I also found out that somebody else is covering all the other grades for us, so we only have to teach this grade. I'm teaching potions, so I'll end up teaching you potions at some point. You're the defense against the dark arts teacher, so you'll end up teaching me. But we also get to help out each other teaching the class as well. We both have to pick 4 classes to go to, and none of the others in order to fit in time for us to teach. What will you pick?" I informed my boyfriend.

"Potions, care for magical creatures, charms, and transfiguration. What about you?" He answered immediately. I guess had already been thinking it over.

"DADA, care for magical creatures, charms, and divination." I responded after thinking for a little bit.

He nodded and went back to eating. I made my way back to my table with Ginny. Once I got back, she was giving me a weird look.

"I didn't know you were gay, or that you were dating him?" Ginny accused. I shrug.

"I didn't feel the need to tell you guys. Plus, we don't really want many people to know, most slytherins would love to use that against us. Probably. I dont want Nico to go through that. He's sensitive to that stuff." I explained to her, as I finished up my food.

I could see Harry and Ron glaring at me. Hermione was glaring at them. I met their glare and they looked away and resumed their conversation.

After dinner, we were excused to either have some free time or go to our dorms. I met Nico in the library. For some reason, I noticed the trio was also in the library. Whatever, I'll just ignore them. Nico and I sat at the table closest to the corner. We held hands under the table and just sat there quietly. We just wanted to relax together, to be in each other's company.

Harry of all people walked over to us after 5-ish minutes of silence.

"What do you want?" I snapped at him. How dare he insult my boyfriend. (he's talking about earlier)

"what class are you going to first?" He said urgently. 

"neeks and I are going to Care for Magical Creatures."

"damn, we have that too." I hear Harry mutter as he walks back to his friends.
