"Camila, wake up. We're here angel." Theo wakes me up, and a smile forms on my face when I see him. I look down to find Enzo still fast asleep in my lap. He looks so peaceful and I really don't want to disturb him.
"Theo, please wake him up for me. I can't." I say, and I then watch as Theo pulls out his wand and points it towards the sleeping boy. Suddenly, water splashes over his face and he instantly shoots up from his seat.
"I hate you Theodore Nott." Enzo says grumpily, finally awake.
"It's the only thing that'll wake him for school every morning too." Theo shrugs, making me giggle.
"That was the best sleep I've ever had Camila. I thank you." Enzo says too me and I laugh.
"You slept like a baby."
We gather our bags and head off the train, and begin our walk to the hotel we're staying at, which isn't too far away.
"Oh my god, the muggle world is so cool but so dumb at the same time." Enzo says, looking around in wonder.
"I very much agree with that statement Enzo." I say to him, as we all look around, the lights of buildings, cars and lampposts lighting up the area as the night sky blankets the city.
Mattheo ends up walking beside me, and I try my best not to notice, continuing my walk in silence as the boys behind us chatter about every little thing they see. I'm pretty sure Enzo says, "Imagine having to actually drive your car and not let the magic do it for you." I laugh a little and Riddle looks down at me with a smile.
"Your smile is so contagious oh my god." He says, and I look at him, his statement making me smile even more.
"Quit staring and maybe you won't catch it silly." I say to him and he rolls his eyes, and I suddenly feel his hand skim across mine as we walk.
I resist the temptation to just grab it, and hold his hand in mine, but I know it can't happen.
We finally make it to the hotel and head inside, where it's much warmer. We walk up to the lady at the counter and she judges the group of us, her eyes shooting dirty looks at me as she notices that I'm the only girl in our little group.
Realistically, is it that deep? No need for the evil looks woman. Ugh.
"Name?" She asks montonely.
"Camila Dobrev." I tell her.
"Ah yes, a room for three and a single." She says and I hear one of the boys curse behind me.
"Shit," Theo says. "Where's Riddle gonna stay?"
Fuck, I didn't even think of that.
"Is there a problem?" The lady asks us and I laugh nervously.
"We won't be a moment." I say, and quickly turn around to look at the boys, but they all just stare at me like I have the solution, and the decision is all down to me.
"Riddle can squeeze in with us guys if you want Camila?" Blaise asks.
"Uh sure, unless he wants to book another room for himself? Just so you guys won't get squashed." I shrug.
"Hey, I don't take that much room." Mattheo defends himself.
The lady clears her throat and I turn to look at her. "If you're thinking of booking another room, you can't. There's none available." She says and I nod.
Great.
"That's fine. Please could we have the keycards?" I ask, and she rolls her eyes before handing me the two keycards. We leave the lady at the counter and head out the door, to find out rooms.
I lead the boys to a lift and we step inside. "What is this box?" Enzo says, looking a bit worried, making me and Mattheo laugh at the same time.
"It's a lift. It'll take us to the seventh floor, our rooms are there."
"Oh, and you forgot to pay the lady." He tells me.
"Not to worry Enzo, I booked the rooms online, and payed for it online too."
"Online?"
"On her phone dimwit." Theo smacks the back of Enzo's head, and the doors finally open. We find our rooms to be right opposite each other on the corridor.
"Right, here's your keycard guys. If it gets squashy in there just kick Mattheo out." I tell them and he rolls his eyes.
"Will do angel. Give us a knock if you need anything." Theo says to me.
"I will. But I'm probably going to sleep now, way too tired."
***
I settled into my room quite nicely. It's not too small for a single room, with a bathroom inside, a dressing table and a closet to put my things in. I get cosy into my sleeping shorts and hoodie, and hop into bed.
I love hotels. There's just something so exciting and comforting about them - if it's a good quality one of course.
I obviously can't sleep, so I immerse myself into my book I brought along with me, and read that for an hour or so, my eyes feeling heavier and more tired. I put the book down, and leave the lamp on,close my eyes and attempt to fall asleep.
A knock at the door.
I groan and get up,and head to the door, slowly opening it and peaking outside before I let a random stranger in. I find Mattheo stood here, in his shorts and hoodie, and so I open the door and he looks down at me, scanning my body.
There's no words, but the tension is definitely there. My heart begins to race, just as it usually does when he's around.
"Can I come in?"
