APRIL-ISH Lulu's first alarm went off at 5 o'clock on the dot. An ungodly quacking duck tone. She snoozed it once, but the second time she went to do it the phone fumbled out of her fingers to the ground, where it vibrated for a good four seconds on the floor before she managed to pry herself out of bed. The purple-haired snake yawned and stretched lazily, slipping on her athletic clothes which consisted of a hoodie and a pair of joggers. She tied her hair into a high pony as her eyes searched the darkroom for her second running shoe as she clicked her tongue. It would have helped if she could summon it, but she wasn't sure where her wand was at either. Merlin, she was a mess...this dorm room was a mess! Her mum would be freaking pissed.
Since the snow had officially melted from the sidewalk, Lulu was on her second day of waking up at dawn to run the grounds. Yesterday she had no problem waking up because she was excited about her new commitment but today was more of a struggle. She bumped into Nessa's bedpost at least twice searching their room for her bloody second shoe.
The snake never did anything quietly, which was unfortunate for her roommate Nessa. The universe couldn't seem to keep them apart during the summer months while working at Uncle Jimbo's, or at Hogwarts as roomies. Nessa wouldn't be able to escape her for another year at the least. She tried to be quiet on her feet but the harder she tried, the louder she got. She had never been light on her feer, ever. Lulu threw herself to the cold ground on all fours, one shoe on her foot, "Criminy" she grumbled in the dark, looking under Nessa's bed, lifting up a part of Nessa's comforter. "Sorry, Ness-suhhh" she yawned dramatically while rubbing her eyes, still on the ground.
Lulu wasn't trying to be annoying, truly, it just came naturally...

▲ Nessa disliked her fellow sixth year Slytherins. Having been stuck with them for the last six years had been one of the worst experiences in her life, and she had a lot of those kinds of things so far in her sixteen years. Half of them wanted to pretend to be friends, and the dishonesty and fakeness of it all was a total turn-off for her. She felt that she was pretty open about her disgust towards their personalities and advances of ‘friendship’, but they couldn’t get it through their thick skulls. The toddlers at the orphanage were smarter than some of her fellow Slytherins were. At least they, in their infant wisdom, knew that she wasn’t someone to trifle with (though she would never go out of her way to hurt one of the younger kids there – that would make her a monster). And then there was Lulu Blishwick. Nessa sort of understood the Blishwick family a lot better having spent the summer with the boss-man and his daughter. Lulu was obviously his niece, and reeked of the same ridiculous flamboyancy that her uncle had. She was loud and a slob, making the sixth year Slytherin girl’s dorm look like a natural disaster had just struck. It didn’t matter how much sorting and cleaning the house elves did on a daily basis, because Lulu always made it worse by the end of the day. Thankfully Nessa was good at sleeping through loud noises and the general din of people moving around. The orphanage wasn’t the quietest place to grow up in, so the Hogwarts dorms had never truly bothered her too much. She swore the four-poster beds were charmed for noise reduction as well but had never the chance to actually test that theory out yet. Until today, that was. She was fast asleep, as virtually any student should have been at five o’clock in the morning, when she felt her sheets and comforter start to pull away from her. Their dorm was perpetually cold, being underground, and that was enough to pull her out of her slumber. She blinked through her dry, sleepy eyes, and had no idea what was dragging her blanket away from her, but she yanked on it to get it back. Every once in a while someone’s cat decided to have a go at someone other than their owner, and in her current state she assumed it was just that. When she heard her name from the direction of where the comforter was going through, she woke up a little more. What the hell was going on at the edge of her bed? Rolling over onto her side, she peered over the edge to see Lulu laying on the ground and looking under the bed. “Wrong bed Blishwick,” she hissed down at her, still not fully comprehending what was going on.

APRIL-ISH Lulu froze when she heard Nessa’s tired voice hiss above her, notifying her that she was in fact under the wrong bed. Her entire body jolted out of surprise, sending her skull into the wooden support beam under the bed with a loud knock. ”Fuuuuck.” she groaned with a whine, rubbing her head. ”There’s a cat under here. So ya know…” she informed her as she started to scoot her body out from under the bed. The cat let out a hiss and growl.
The purple haired snake laid with her back on the cold cement in a dramatic display of defeat, the desire to get out and run the grounds was slowly dwindling. She could almost fall asleep right there on the ground next to Nessa's bed. For a couple of moments the room fell silent, before her mouth opened again, “Pssst. Hey. You up? Have you seen my left running shoe anywhere, Ness?” she dared to ask in the dark just barely above a whisper. She wasn’t good at being quiet. It was rare when she wasn't making sound. ”…..Y’know the black ones with the white trim…” she continued to ramble on. Since Nessa spoke to her, Lulu thought maybe it meant she was awake now.

▲ Despite her half-assed warning, that came through a gravely yawn, Lulu seemed to be interested in something under the bed. The sudden bump and thud, followed by a drawn out expletive from her roommate brought a grin onto her tired face. She didn’t relish in other’s pain as much as Nate did at times, specifically when it came to him inflicting it on her, but the whole ‘told you so’ moment that was going to come from this played out nicely on her end. There was no reason for Blishwick to be poking around under her bed, especially if she was bothering a cat that was sulking there. Probably one of the ones that the bloody triplets had been dragging around for the last six years. Nessa liked cats as much as the next person, but not ones that belonged to creepy clones. If there was a list of odd birds at Hogwarts, she would place those three right on the tippy-top, just below Lily Potter, the flunky extraordinaire. Dealing with any of their nonsense was headache inducing, probably similar to the one Lulu had given herself by slamming her skull onto the underside of the four-poster. She contemplated not answering her roommate when she was asked if she was up and seen the missing running shoe. As if she kept account of where her roommates left all of their belongings. Her meager things stuck to her nightstand and chest at the foot of the bed. Being able to flippantly lose shoes in her own dorm wasn’t possible when she only had two pairs. To even think of having a pair just for running seemed preposterous to her. “Is it on your foot already?” she said dryly, though sort of expected that it could be the case since this was Lulu. “Or maybe the cat took it…” Nessa added, yawning as she rolled onto her back so that she didn’t have to watch Lulu crawling around on the ground.

APRIL-ISH Lulu couldn't stop herself from laughing when Nessa said that the cat probably took her shoe, she checked her foot to be sure she didn't miss that step. Thank Merlin. As she rolled onto her stomach again, her eyes focused on the missing shoe. It was wedged between her own trunk and bed. "Oof. Found it." she said in a stage whisper, slipping it onto her foot and tying the laces with a fluid motion. She sighed tiredly.
The purple haired snake was still on the floor. While she was there, she stretched her legs in front of her with a couple of strained sounds, which were a bit much for so early in the morning. She popped her face near Nessa's bed once again, like an annoying neighbor looking over the fence. "Psst-hey. H-Hey Ness." she greeted again, poking her roomies bed comforter with her pointer finger from down on the ground. The snake was still trying to be quiet, and failing more the harder she tried. "Since you're up now, do you wanna go on a run?" she had the audacity to ask the snoozing snake. As if it were a normal offer at 5am. And as if Nessa had any intention to do anything with her other than working at Blishwick's Matchmaking, last summer.
A grumble from across the room told her to 'Shut the fuck up, Lulu'.

▲ “Thank fuck…” Nessa whispered under her breath as she heard the discovery of the missing shoe from across the room. She liked to think that sometimes she was amenable and not a totally horrible human being. This was one of those situations where she was exhausted and comfortable in her bed, and blowing her gasket was only going to piss everyone else off in the dorm. Especially at this hour. Even though they were all accustomed to being forced together by this point, Nessa felt like she had more experience due to the orphanage, and how sometimes they stuck poor new kids in the same room with her, fresh off the death of their parents or abandonment for being magical. She didn’t want to deal with their feelings and shit. Lulu looking for a shoe under her bed and fighting a war of attrition with a cat over it was literally the least of her worries at this hour, and there had absolutely been worse things to be woken up to. But Blishwick, as was true to her family’s nature, was an unrelenting force that could only collide over and over with Nessa until she finally gave in. Maybe it was because somewhere deep down she wanted to be seen as agreeable to Jimbo due to how well he had treated she and Nate last summer, or maybe it was to keep order in the dorm at five in the morning. Feigning sleep at this point was impossible, and even though she had pulled the covers over her head as Lulu slipped her shoe on and stretched, it wasn’t enough. She would have needed an invisibility cloak to avoid the girl completely. Before Nessa could decline, another one of their roommates also told Lulu to shut up, and Nessa pulled her cover down, only to see Lulu staring at her. “If I walk to the common room entrance with you, will you please be quiet as a fucking mouse when you come back in?” Nessa said, barely audible to herself because she didn’t want to get into a pissing contest with the other awake roommate now.

APRIL-ISH Nessa pulled the covers from over her face and agreed to walk her to the common room entrance. That was better than nothing. Her eyes widened with excitement in the darkroom. "Nesss, yes...I will take a walking buddy." she chimed in the quietest tone she could muster unable to hide the smile in her voice since Nessa agreed to something. If only she could get her to go on an actual run with her at that ungodly hour. She nodded "This little mouse promises to stay outside until everyone is awake." she promised solemnly.
Lulu would go to the pitch and the Great Hall for breakfast after her run to keep her promise. There were many activities she partake in that didn't involve being in their dorm. Hopefully she didn't forget anything...
The purple haired snake waited patiently for Nessa to rise from her warm bed. "-Unless if you want me to bring you back a coffee, or tea, or treat.." she went off in a whispered drone. Another grumble erupted from across the room, following with a pillow flying in her direction, probably to shut her up. It hit her on the side of the face, causing her to bite her tongue. She swiftly shoved the pillow under her disheveled bed. "To whoever did that. That pillow belongs to me now.." she muttered back in a hissed tone.

▲ She honestly didn’t think that Lulu would agree, though realistically she was more worried that the Blishwick girl would forget the deal and still come waltzing back in an hour from now loudly talking about her run or whatever. Six o’clock was better than five though. At that point, she’d have been warned by both Nessa and the other poor unfortunate soul that was currently half awake. There weren’t many things that Nessa agreed on with her roommates, the exception being loud noises in the dorm at ungodly hours. Everyone needed their sleep and she had no problem manufacturing it for those that didn’t want to shut-up. Knocking Lulu out cold wasn’t going to happen though because she didn’t view that as either a good or smart idea. Dragging her aggressively out of the dorm room though? Absolutely. But the other Slytherin girl seemed amenable enough to accept Nessa’s request, even going as far as to say that she wouldn’t be back until everyone was awake. That worked for her. While she tried to slide her slippers on, Lulu continued talking, each word sharp and succinct in the silence of the Slytherin dorm. Another groan and protest from a roommate bubbled from somewhere in the room, and Nessa scooted as far away from Lulu as she could on her bed. Just in time, as a pillow was launched at her. Nessa pursed her lips in a manner that said the other girl deserved that, and then she ran a finger across her mouth to tell her to zip-it. She wasn’t going to be the bad guy in this morning. Standing up and instantly pulling her dark green Slytherin robe tighter around her as the chill of the dungeon hit her, Nessa grabbed at Lulu’s elbow to start directing her towards the common room. This was way too early in the morning to be doing anything, and her body was already telling her it needed more sleep. The creaky ache in her legs as she shivered was about as pleasant as being awoken by Lulu had been. So not at all. “Come on…” she grumbled as she attempted to drag Lulu out of the room. She could have sworn there were a couple mumbled ‘Thanks Nessa’s, stifled by pillows that had probably been pulled over heads to mute out Lulu’s loud. That would be a first for her, and probably a last unless it was sarcastic. MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0
