Harry opened her eyes then closed them again, wrapping her arms around the pillow she was sleeping on she tried to go back to the dream world she was in with Tom. She smiled when her pillow too wrapped its arm around her. Pillow wrapping its arm? Immediately opening her eyes she looked towards her pillow and found Tom.

The memory of last night returned and she realised it was not a dream, she did came back with Tom to her Dormitory, and they did fell asleep after their long conversation about Tom's life before coming to Hogwarts.

He opened up his heart to her, as she laid next to him while holding his hand.

She carefully removed his arm, then sat up and looked back at him. She smiled as he appeared so innocent while sleeping with his hair all ruffled up. She bent down and lightly kissed his lips.

As she was moving back he opened his eyes and wrapped his arms around her, then turned them around, and gazed down at her. Her hair were spread out on the pillow and she was staring at him with her forest green eyes. "Will you always wake me like this?"

She blushed and nodded. He stared at her then brought his face closer to hers and gently bit her bottom lip, something he just loved doing. Then moved his head back and said, "Why can't every morning be like this?"

She smiled, "It can be, if you are ready to leave your Slytherin lordship and are ready to move to oh-so-poor quarters of Hufflepuffs."

He chuckled, "Sure. I am ready to give up my throne for your love. When can I bring my luggage?"

She pretended to think, "Today is a very auspicious day. You can move in."

He nodded, "Alright. I will."

She laughed then looked towards the window, "Tom I think its around afternoon."

"Hmmm" He laid down next to her, resting his head on her pillow and closed his eyes. He felt really relaxed with her there.

She stared at the ceiling holding his hand then slowly felt her eyelids getting heavy. She wrapped her arm around him and closed her eyes.

After what felt like hours to her, she felt someone shake her shoulders lightly.

"Harry?"

"Mmmm.." She wrapped her left leg around him and tried to go back to her dreamworld

"Wake up sweetheart. I have to leave."

She shook her head, and sleepily said "Stay "

He chuckled, "I really want to, but it's getting late "

She opened her eyes and gazed at him sleepily. "Will you come back? I like you here."

He smiled, and ran his fingers through her hair, "I will."

She tilted her head, "Today?"

He chuckled again, and replied, " Okay.. Today "

She nodded then unwrapped her arm , "Then you can leave."

He laughed, "Thanks for your permission your highness."

She smiled at him, "But do return to my quarters today evening my dear commoner. I will wait for you."

Still laughing he kissed her forehead and stood up, then called Tipsy and ordered her to bring some food for Harry.

It was around dinner time when Harry came down to Hufflepuff common room. She frowned when found Marcus sitting near fireplace, as he usually left for dinner early.

He noticed her and stood up, "Where were you?"

She raised her eyebrows, "Are you talking to me?"

Then because of some reason unknown to her, he started shouting, "DO YOU REALISE HOW WORRIED I WAS?"

She pointed her finger at him, "Keep your voice down. I don't like to be shouted at by some stranger. "

He glared at her, "STRANGER?"

He kicked the nearby table and stomped towards her.

She just stared at him as he stopped in front of her, then snarled, "You call me a stranger? Me? After all this time?"

She narrowed her eyes at him, "What time? You hardly speak to me. You never supported when everyone was laughing at me. You sat there in that corner. Yes you are some stranger."

He gritted his teeth, "Me a stranger? And what about that snake Riddle ?"

That caught her nerve, "Don't you dare talk about Tom."

He glowered and nodded his head in anger, "Oh really. Why? Just because he has a physical relationship with you? He is using you and will kick you like some garbage once fed up."

She narrowed her eyes at him, "It was you."

He frowned, "What?"

She gritted her teeth, "You were spying on us that day at Quidditch pitch."

The memory of that day made him more angry, he snarled, "Yes it was me. I saw how you were whoring yourself .."

SLAP

She slapped him with full strength, leaving a great impression on his face.

Instead of feeling apologetic for his comment he glared at her, "You slapped me?"

She pushed him back, "Be grateful it was only a slap."

Then pointed her finger again, "And stay away from me Barnes. I am warning you."

She walked out of her common room, not in a mood to waste more of her time with him.
