let me tell you about my best friend - cindy

[JAMES SIRIUS POTTER]

So, the first week back had gone as follows. He'd gotten insanely drunk with Andrew and Sam for the first two nights back. He'd made it to all of his classes but he had absolutely no idea what had taken place in any of them. He'd gotten dumped by the best girl he'd ever met, the only one he'd ever considered being monogamous for. He'd gotten insanely drunk again and had woken up in the Ravenclaw dorm next to Paula Mason, who was questionable in many natures (no matter how hard he tried to convince himself otherwise). To top it off, he'd gotten a letter from Puddlemere United telling him, in the most professional way possible, that they no longer had an interest in him (apparently they were set in the chaser department). It was a fucking shitty week. Not least by the fact that he had an early section of Care of Magical Creatures that required him to wake up and feed unicorns once a week. It was dreadfully early, and he wasn't heartless enough (yet) to ditch his group mates and leave them to feed the beasts on their own. Besides, he sort of liked it. They were lovely creatures that exuded a blend of delicacy and strength that he admired. It wasn't the worst assignment he ever had. However, he definitely would not come to enjoy waking up as early as it required him. Usually, he could fall right back into bed and go to sleep (it was his secret superpower, the ability to sleep anywhere under any circumstances). Mastering a way to run up the girls' stairs without having the slide shoot out from under him, James secured either foot on each wall above the stairs, planting his hands on each wall as well, and shimmied his way up the corridor towards the seventh year girls' dormitory. Jumping off the walls and onto the landing, he burst through the door without thinking to knock. A girl in the far corner getting ready for the day screamed and tightened her bath towel about her body. James paid her no attention and barged right through the hangings on Cindy Wood's bed, falling face first against the far edge of the bed, face buried in the comforter, feet hanging off the side. The curtains fell into place behind him. A long, muffled moan erupted from where his face was, arms back against his sides, defeated. tagged: CINDY OLIVIA WOOD notes: Here we go.

The first week back at Hogwarts after summer had always seemed a bit useless to Cindy. Sure, it was good to be back with friends she hadn't seen in a while, but on the other hand, there were classes. Absolutely nothing of importance happened during the first week of classes, but they were still required to attend at ungodly hours every morning. It was basically a form of torture. Getting up before sunrise to prepare for Quidditch was one thing - she could practically leap out of bed for that - but the whole school thing, she had decided, just didn't work for her. This was her last year, though, and even though she had every intention of pursuing a career in professional Quidditch, she realized the importance of achieving at least moderately decent grades. Her parents had, after all, spent the entire summer pestering her about how vital it was to have a backup plan.

This particular morning, though, she didn't have any early classes, so she had decided she was going to get as much sleep as humanly possible. Annoyingly enough, her body had decided not to agree with that plan, so she had still woken up early and had spent the last few hours with her head buried under a pillow, desperately trying to go back to sleep. It had briefly occurred to her to just get out of bed and do something productive, but because she was nothing if not stubborn (occasionally to the point of blatant stupidity), she had quickly decided against it.

Just when she finally found herself about to doze off against, she heard someone bursting through the door. Annoyed, she decided to ignore it, but that very rapidly became impossible as that particular someone landed on her bed. There was exactly one person in the world who would dare disrupt her while she was sleeping, so she didn't even need to come out from under her pillow to know it was him. "I swear, you're getting a bludger in the head next practice," she growled as she finally looked up, then promptly hit him with her pillow.
