'Harry's POV'

"Wakey, wakey!" Melony's orotund voice announces her presence as I'm shivering, wrapped in the pink blanket that she lent to me last night, which is now soaked.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I believe that being woken up before eight in the morning with a bucket of ice water is a tad bit rude, including that we'd gotten home at almost two in the morning. I wiggle out of the blanket and roll around on the bed trying to find a dry spot, but thanks to my bad luck, the entire bed is wet.

"Harry, get up." She begs in a singsong voice as I try to smother myself under the owl pillow, to block out her too cheery voice.

She groans, and I think I hear her foot stomp on the ground, before hands wrap around my ankles and yank me over the side of the bed. I land on the floor with a loud grunt, laying there and blinking for a few seconds completely dissoriented.

"I told you to get up," She hisses. There's the moody Melony I've come to know. "Go search Ivan's closet for some athletic gear. We're starting your training."

I finally look up from the black wooden floor, my eyes taking in her stiff stance with her arms crossed tightly across her chest. Her legs and torso covered in tight black clothing, running shoes on her feet, and a white bucket sits near her feet.

"What?" I sit up, rubbing my palms into my eyes to push the remembrants of sleep away. Honestly, nothing that she's just said had sunk in to my head, they were just empty sounds. I see her roll her green eyes before speaking.

"I said get your ass up, go into Ivan's closet, and find some clothes that you can work out in. We need to get you into shape."

I scrunch up my face before glacing down at my bare chest, my abs clearly showing.

"I don't think I need to." I grin cockily up at her, her face unamused.

"You're legs are like little tooth picks." She sighs, reaching down and picking up the bucket.

I can't help the way my eyes stare at her chest, which is showing more than usual. It suddenly occurs to me that I don't have shorts or anything else on besides boxers, so I clear my throat quickly before jumping up. I'm sat on the edge of the wet bed, my hands nonchalantly covering the front of the thin black fabric.

"I need to see how fast and how long you can run for," She says once she's standing back up with the bucket between her hands. "Running is the thing we do most. Hurry up and get ready so we can leave."

She turns to leave the room, the door almost shut behind herself before she turns around and locks eyes with me. "And please, go take a cold shower or something."

The door closes right after her statement, and I feel my eyes widen. Embaressment floods through my body as I stand and head over to the ensuite bathroom. I didn't get much for the bathroom last night seeing as I already liked it the way it was. White tile flooring, black walls, silver shower head and sink fixture filling the fairly large bathroom. Melony had showed me how to work the temperature of the shower, it was on a control pad hidden near the sink. I turned it down from the temperature I had set it at, before walking over and flipping the switch that would turn the hanging square showerhead on.

My eyebrows lowered as I noticed red, blue, green, and pink colored buttons below the switch. I stood there a few seconds, the cool air floating out of the shower through the slight crack of the open glass walls, as I contemplated on if I should push them or not. Shrugging, I pressed down on the green button. A breath I didn't know I was holding rushed passed my lips as I glanced into the shower and saw that the showerhead had lightened up with small green led lights. I pressed each of the other buttons and watched as the colors changed from red to blue, and finally to pink before I put it back on the green setting.
