As the sun began to rise, Sofia and Severus were fast asleep, holding each other tightly under his black sheets. The fire continued to weakly light the room, as it filled with the quiet breathing of content. As soon as the clock tower struck 7 am, Sofia sturred in her sleep. Still completely dazed she started mumbling something into Severus ear, which quickly woke him up. Severus squinted to look down at her as she laid on his chest. He watched as she slowly removed herself from him, and started to push the covers to the side, revealing her bare legs as she swung them over the edge of the bed.

"Where on earth are you going?"

"6th-year core class." he heard her quietly mumble with a yawn. Severus couldn't help but smile a little at her. Holding back his laugher he watched her as she leaned over the edge of the bed.

"It's Saturday," he stated, trying to hold himself back from laughing at her tired and confused state. Sofia paused in her step for a second before crumbling back into bed.

"Oh, thank God..." She mumbled again as her head hit the pillow next to Severus. Severus rarely heard her use 'God' when she spoke. He assumed that when she was tired some of her muggle-antics from London seemed to shine through. He watched as she cuddled deeper into his soft sheets, turning her back to him. Before he could peacefully fall back asleep, he felt her arm move back and tug on his for him to wrap himself around her. Severus sighed a little, refusing to move with a smirk as she tried to pull him in again. "Ugh. Why are you so stubborn." She whined.

"I am just trying to make you work for it a little, especially after yesterday." As the words slipped from his mouth he noticed Sofia turn her head towards him, glaring daggers straight into his soul. No matter how much she posed herself as a morning person, after that one look, Severus was sure that it was all a charade. "Alright, alright." he smiled as he moved closer to her back, gently stroking it. Soon enough, both of them were once more happily asleep. Severus' arms draped over her, his chest pressed firmly to her back as they cuddled.

As the clock tower stroke 11, both of them were now awake. Severus sat up in bed, as Sofia struggled to fully wake up for the second time now. Yawing she sat up next to him. Sofia placed a soft kiss on his lips before finally getting out of bed. Severus watched as she got ready to head out the door and dodge the Slytherin students who were probably lurking in the dungeon hallways.

"I'm sorry about yesterday, again." She spoke as she put her clothes on by the side of his bed.

"I've already told you that it's fine. Especially since I probably said much worse things to you back in the day."

"That you did." Sofia chirped in, smirking. Severus rolled his eyes at her, before playfully outstretching his arm, attempting to pull her back in as she jumped away. "I still have papers to grade before Monday! And I like having my Sundays free. And it's already past 11, I have to run back and grade." Severus grunted at her response as he fell back into his bed, propping his head up with his arm. Sofia continued to get ready. After making sure she looked appropriate and tying her blonde hair up, she hummed in satisfaction. "Before I go, I thought you had something planned today...?" She mused as Severus smirked looking up at the ceiling.

"You are correct. However, don't worry yourself too much with the details. Go grade the papers. I will come get you from your quarters right before sunset." He spoke.

"Lovely." Sofia smiled as she headed towards the door, trying to hide the excitement from him which was simply overflowing inside her.

"Make sure you don't wear your highest heels, Sofia," Severus added as she reached for her doorknob. Sofia's brows furrowed as she turned back to Severus shooting him a questionable glance. "I thought you had papers to grade?" Severus monotone voice rang through the room sarcastically. Sofia nodded softly, carefully pulling the door towards herself to peek out into the hallway. To her luck, she only noticed a few of the Slytherin students walking around. Sofia calmly stepped out of Severus room and shut the door which caught the attention of one of the students from down the hallway. Sofia held her head up high as she began walking across the hallway, towards the elf door.
