oOoOoOo

The morning arose around the Hogwarts and so did it within. The halls slowly filled with students and the mumbled talk of tired children. The warm sun shone through the glass windows as well as the openings to the garden. The great hall was dipped in the homey light, spreading the feel of comfort. The roof was bewitched into a clear facade that made it appear to be invisible. Therefor anyone inside was able to see the sun rise even further, see the clouds fly away and the sky turn into a deep blue. It was truly magical.
The houses of Hogwarts were separated through their sides and house colors once again but the students from abroad were allowed to sit wherever they want as they had no certain seats or rules like these to follow.

Therefor as the seats creaked and moved besides Peter he didn't think about who was going to sit beside him. The boys had been up quite early this morning as none of them thought of closing the curtains the evening before. Therefor they were woken up quite early this morning. And while Sirius and Remus found themselves able to sleep for a couple of more minutes, James and Peter could not. 'Once awake, start the day' was too real sometimes.

However, as a hand laid onto his shoulder, Peter looked up from the bowl he had just taken. Looking up he stared right into piercing green eyes that had latched onto him with a look of calm. A look that was too familiar to him.

"Morning." Lovia said as she took place beside him. And only from the corner of his eye Peter was able to register her friend sitting down next to Remus, opposite from Lovia. "I hope it's alright if we sit here. We can leave if you'd like."

Only the word leaving from Lovia's lips made Peter's possessiveness and longing towards her heighten. And so his confidence arose so quick he couldn't even register his own moves. His hand latched onto hers that rested on his shoulder and he laced his fingers into hers. Holding her into place. Not letting her have a chance of leaving. Once again.

"Don't even think about it." He spoke slowly as his face closed some of the distance between them. "You can stay just right where you are."

They were close. So close that Lovia felt his breath on her cheeks. However, she found herself unable to do anything but itch a little more close anyway. She needed this. Being close to him. She wanted him to want her beside him. And even if this felt so natural and familiar to both of them, so much like home, Peter could feel four sets of eyes on them. He squeezed Lovia's hand once again before moving to take some breakfast again. Smooth.

Lovia was not as smooth. She was amazed as well as enchanted by Peter's behavior and vicinity for another couple of seconds before doing as he did. Only sneaking a glance at Camille once, the smirk on her face letting Lovia know how they all just witnessed this somewhat intimate moment.

But as Lovia caught Peter in a certain act she couldn't help but laugh, making the others look at her. And Peter along with them.

"You cannot seriously be still doing this Pete." She smiled so wide at him and as Peter looked at her smile, then at what he was doing and back at her he couldn't help but smile along.
