Chapter 14
A/N Another long wait. I'm so sorry. I don't really have an excuse so I'm just going to get on with it. Hope you like it.
Disclaimer- Basically the same thing I say every chapter.
Considering the fact that we had a whole day's worth of classwork to complete plus the load of homework we get daily, we managed to finish it rather fast. It was around half past ten when he closed the last book and placed it on top of the completed pile. He crossed his arms on the bed and laid his head on them.
"That's the biggest load I've gotten so far." He mumbled. I laughed.
"Well, if you went to class then you would only have to do homework in the evening." I reminded him. He looked up at me with quite a serious expression on his face.
"Don't you want me here?" he asked, looking hurt.
"Of course I do! I'm so grateful that you've stayed with me but I just feel selfish, keeping you here and making you do all this work after school when you could be learning and doing it in class." I explained. He took my hands in both of his.
"Hermione, please don't feel selfish or guilty. It's my decision to stay here with you and I'll deal with the consequences." He said solemnly. I smiled and nodded.
"Okay," I said. He winked at me and then moved the pile of books and parchments from the end of my bed to the floor. I looked up to the clock that was just visible above the main doors.
"It's nearly curfew." I said. It wouldn't normally be as late as eleven but since Cormac was a prefect he was allowed to stay out later.
"I can stay for another five minutes," he said. I rolled my eyes and laughed.
"Fair enough, I just don't want you getting in trouble because of me." I said.
"I won't get in trouble," he said. I smiled.
"No, I don't imagine you will." I said. He smirked and placed his elbows on his knees, leaning on them.
"So, pretty lady. Is there anything that you require tomorrow?" he asked. I thought for a moment and eventually came to a conclusion.
"No, I don't think so. Thanks for asking though." I replied. He smiled.
"No problem." He said. A chiming sound came from the clock tower and I realised it was telling us that it was eleven. I sighed.
"I guess you have to go now," I said. He nodded and stood up, placing the chair against the privacy partition.
"It's been a pleasure, my lady." He said before picking my hand up and kissing the back of it. I giggled and he picked his books and parchments up, smirking as he did so. When he had gathered them all in his arms he turned to me and bowed.
"See you tomorrow, pretty lady." He said. I smiled.
"Bye," I said as he turned and left. I sighed in content and slowly shuffled down the bed, being careful not to hurt anything too much. When I was finally laying down I reached over and turned the bedside lamp off, bathing the room in darkness.
There we go.
I'm thinking of starting a new story so if you have any pairing requests please let me know.
The next chapter should be up soon, since it's the Christmas holidays. Bye!
