(A/N): Hey Guys! A bit longer of a chapter this time, and it's from Leo's PoV, not James's. Speaking of PoV's, the next one's from Elaine's, and the one after that is Brooke's... yay!

Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise.


Leo

After James and Lily had returned from their little trip to the kitchens- from which they didn't even bring back food- I pulled Lily onto the bed next to me, so I had her on one side, Remus on the other, and Elaine behind me, supporting my head in her lap.

"Good morning, Princess." I greeted her, flashing a convincing, easy going smile as if I hadn't heard most of her conversation with James.

"Morning." She said, burrowing her head into my chest and looping her arms around my waist.

She let out a yawn and I started stroking her hair, much like James had done in the kitchens to comfort her.

"Did you sleep well?" She shrugged, eyes slipping closed as she wiggled in an attempt to get comfortable.

"Woke up too soon... 'm sleepy." She said, yawning again, and I dropped a kiss into her hair, smiling down at her fondly.

"Then go to sleep, silly."


We woke up a few hours later, or at least, I did, with Brooke standing over me, and the others starting to stir.

"Just where I left you." She teased, wearing a small smirk, eyeing the way I currently had three people curled around various parts of my body.

"Can you blame for not wanting to move after that?" She winked at me, before throwing herself across the foot of the bed, jolting my friends into awareness.

"Oh... Morning Brooke." Elaine murmured, lifting her head slightly from beside mine, and stretching in her position atop the pillows at the head of the bed.

"Morning." My girlfriend chirped, wearing a proud grin as she rolled onto her back.

"Don't make... Me kick you." Remus grouched, squeezing me around the waist as he rubbed his face into my bicep.

"Ooh, someone's grumpy." She teased, and I lifted my head ever so slightly to shoot her a look.

"What time is it?" James asked in an almost croak, and Brooke shrugged.

"Close to eleven. I figured I should wake you up before lunch, lest you starve." She said, winking at me again before Sirius sat up, and move to curl into her side.

"Shh..." He scolded. "Go back to sleep." She rolled her eyes at me over his head.

"I didn't realise you guys were still young enough to have a nap time." She muttered, and I cocked an eyebrow at her.

"You're just jealous, you want group snuggle parties, admit it." She stared at me for a second, then shrugged.

"I get enough, 'snuggles' hanging around you, lover boy, why would I need any more?" I couldn't help but grin, and bit my lip in an attempt to hide it.

"For the sake of diversity." I joked, squeezing Remus and Lily closer to me on either side, and nudging Elaine in the belly with my head.

"Yeah..." She said slowly, smirking. "You're doing this for diversity." Elaine nuzzled into the side of my neck, and I tilted my head to shoot her a grin.

"You're pretty." She murmured, and I rolled my eyes at her playfully, trying not to grin too brightly.

"And you're sleep deprived." She was too tired to send me a sharp look, so she just pressed a kiss to the underside of my jaw and closed her eyes again.

"Are you guys going to get up?" Brooke asked, before eyeing my bare shoulders. "And dressed?" I shrugged, then squeezed my eyes shut, willing a set of clothes out of thin air.

I pulled on the shirt first, carefully sitting up and slipping it over my head before manoeuvring my way to the edge of the bed and working on the pants.

"Come on guys." I said, and with various groans and a few minutes, we were all sitting along one edge of the mattress, fixing our bed hair.

We started shuffling towards the Great Hall, my friends behind us as I tucked Brooke under one arm.

"Did you sleep well?" She asked me quietly, slyly, and I couldn't help but smile, rubbing my stomach playfully.

"Pretty well, but my abdominals still hurt." She elbowed me in side, giggling.

"I'm not surprised." She teased, and I pressed a kiss to the side of her head.

"Oh shush." I whispered to her, bumping her hip with mine.

"Never." She murmured in reply, and I brushed a piece of hair behind her ear.

"You're cute." I told her, and she raised an eyebrow at me.

"You're not just seeing that now though, right?" I rolled my eyes at her playfully, shaking my head.

"Been seeing it ever since I went tot he wrong window in first year. You, in those cute little Kelpie pyjamas? Adorable." She flushed, looking quite embarrassed, and I leaned down to kiss her on the cheek. "Brooke Sarne, Kelpie Lover."
