[Next Morning]
A half-awake Neville made his way towards Harry's bed. Harry automatically shifted in bed to accommodate another person under the sheets. Neville immediately joins him under the sheets, fast asleep.
[Timeskip: 5 Minutes]
Apollo climbed out of his nest and moved towards Harry's bed. He climbed up and proceeded to shake both boys awake. Harry's eyes slowly opened and blinked before looking at Neville. Apollo began to shake only Neville, in hope of waking him up. Harry sat up in bed and looked down at his brother who was still asleep.
"Nev," Harry poked his cheek, "let's get ready. We got to meet our Buddy downstairs."
Neville groaned in reply and slowly sat up, pulling Apollo into his arms.
"Morning..." Neville yawned.
"Haha," Harry ruffled his hair, "good morning, sleepy head. I'll head into the bath first."
Neville nodded, he got out of the bed and placed Apollo back into his nest. When Harry entered the bathroom, Neville went through his trunk to pull out his uniform along with Harry's.
[Timeskip: Hufflepuff Common Room]
Harry and Neville reached the Common Room where Cedric Diggory stood there with a sign,
HARRY JAMES POTTER-JACKSON & NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM-JACKSON
"Good morning," Cedric grinned, "guess whose your Buddy for this year."
"Wow," Harry sassed, "what a coincidence.."
"Good morning to you too." Neville grinned.
"Now," Cedric ushered them out of the common room, "who wants some breakfast?"
[Location: Hogwarts; Great Hall]
Harry, Neville, and Cedric entered the Great Hall.
"Do we have to sit at our house table?" Harry eyed the Slytherin table.
"No," Cedric responded, "only for important announcements."
"Good." Harry then proceeded to drag Neville and Cedric over to the Slytherin table, right next to a certain blonde.
"DRAGON!"
'Dragon' proceede to choke on his pumpkin juice as Harry gave him a hug. He wasn't the only one, many of the other Slytherins questioned how Malfoy knew the Jackson Heirs. Neville sat next to Blaise and gently patted his back.
"Good morning, Draco, Blaise." Neville greeted, grinning at Draco's flushed visage.
"Good m-morning..." Draco cleared his throat.
"This is Cedric Diggory, " Harry began, "Hufflepuff has a buddy system for first years. Cedric, here is our Buddy for the rest of the year."
"Cedric, " Neville continued, "this is Draco Malfoy, Heir to the Malfoy line and Blaise Zabini, Heir to the Zabini line."
"Well met." Cedric bowed his head slightly.
"What are you doing at the Slytherin table anyways?" Draco asked, passing Harry a plate of pancakes.
Blaise wasn't far behind, passing Neville a plate of waffles and fruits. Cedric watched on, observing their behavior. He grinned, first-years were really too cute.
"Ah," Harry gasped in mock hurt, "am I not allowed to visit, Dragon?"
Draco could only sigh but that didn't stop the grin from growing on his face.
