The next morning I wake up on the cold floor of the Great Hall. Some students are already gone but there are still a few knocked out. I sit up from my sleeping bag and roll my neck around, hearing it crack and grind. Merlin my back is so stiff, I wouldn't mind if someone cracked my back over the knee like a glow stick. I stretch and yawn as I force my body to wake up. I feel like my skin just shed crust like a snake sheds skin. My back aches terribly. I try every possible way to give it relief but I only make it worse. I stand up, holding my back and walk to Professor Snape who's sitting in a chair by the Great Hall entrance reading a ragged book. "Students may return to their dormitories, do not be late to classes today, there are no exceptions." I'm growing grey hairs here, his words are always so terribly slow to come out, like just get to the point already! I can already tell I'm in an irritable mood today, must have slept wrong... well obviously you were on the bloody floor, you are a dumbass I swear to Merlin. Good luck to anyone who speaks to me today I can already feel the bitch clawing itself out of me. As I walk to the Ravenclaw Tower, I see different decorations out for Halloween. Pumpkins sat on every other step of the staircases and there are floating candles all around. The pumpkins I understand, but floating candles in the morning? That doesn't make sense at all. I guess that's Halloween over now for another year which is a shame because it's my favourite holiday. When I get to the Ravenclaw Tower and whisper the riddle answer to the knocker, there is an oddly large number of people hanging around the common room, more than usual. I sneak by everyone and get to my room and Luna is sitting on her bed, swapping out her books for today's classes.

"Hey [Y/N]," she says. I smile at her and lay on her bed next to her. Luna puts her books and her bag on the floor and lays down with me. I roll into her shoulder and she plays with my hair. The room is quiet and the only sound that comes is the sound of birds chirping outside and the distant ticking of a watch. I stare out the stained glass windows, my eyes taking in everything and nothing at the same time. Luna's pocket watch starts to chime and the time to relax is over. I groan as she moves away from the bed. Her warmth evaporated immediately.

"See you later" I say softly. She gives me a shy wave and walks out the door. I just sink into Luna's bed, I may admit that her's is much more comfortable than mine. Grass is greener and all that. I lay in silence until there's a knock at my door. I groan as I get up from the bed and lazily walk to the door.

"I found him trying to come in at the knocker. He says he's with you." a girl in my tower says. She has Cedric by the sleeve of his robe, like an owner with a leashed dog. I lean my head on the door and look at Cedric then at the girl. My lips quirking up at the corners, slightly amused at the situation.

"Thank you very much," I gesture to Cedric to come in and the girl walks away, "uh what are you doing here?" I turn to shut the door behind me. Cedric comes up and kisses me, holding my face in his hands, I melt at the touch.

"I wanted to see you," he says with giant puppy eyes. I kiss him on the cheek and turn to my wardrobe. "It's a tad chilly outside, so don't dress lightly or do, up to you," he smiles sexily and winks at me. Cedric walks over to my bed and plops onto it. He lays there and looks at the wardrobe where I stand.

"Oh shut up," I say coy. I think this is a perfect opportunity to mess with him, right? I open my wardrobe and hide behind the door. The only thing that Cedric can see from his view are my shins down to my toes. I peep around the side of the door and Cedric is looking with wide eyes, I giggle at him. I turn back into the wardrobe and pick out a sweater and a clean blue tie and place them on the empty shelf. I slowly slip out of my pajama bottoms and place them into the empty compartment. I peep around the door once more and bite my lip slightly as I look at him. He's now sitting upfront with his hands on his knees. He's been rubbing them on his knees because there's slight wrinkles in the slacks. His hands are tightly gripping his kneecaps. It's working already, man up Cedric. Turning back behind the wardrobe door once more, I slip off my pajama top and toss it onto the ground next to me. I take off my bra to swap it out, throwing it haphazardly behind me in Cedric's general direction. I peep my head around the door one last time, showing a part of my bare shoulder. He's now covering his mouth and trying to look behind me rather than at me, he holds my bra in his spare hand, looking mortified and conflicted. He's all too easy to mess with. He shifts his sitting position to hide his 'friend' and I burst out laughing, bad timing but the way he's trying to fight temptation is hilarious to me. I slightly shift my body forward to mock walking towards him and Cedric immediately rises and walks over to me. The door is still covering me from him but I could feel his breath on the hand that's holding the side of the door. I skillfully manage to put on a black bra and my school skirt with one hand but after all this teasing, it's only right I treat him to a slight peek.
