Morning had arrived. She unclosed her eyes. Her thought process was something like this:
Wait--unfamiliar surroundings! No, nevermind...I'm in the Common Room. What am I leaning against? It's...(she moves a little to looks up at Liam)...Oh noes. I fell asleep on Liam. (leans back onto his shoulder)
Izzy (As he's told me he didn't like 'Echo') woke up himself and sat up. Immediately his eyes rested on the awake Chickory leaning on the asleep Liam's shoulder. He gave a bark of laughter. Chickory rolled her eyes.

Liam jolted awake when Chickory lay her head on his shoulder the second time. He groggily opened his eyes, removed the glasses which had been left on his face all night (and had since slid down his nose a bit), and rubbed his slate-gray eyes. Morning already...?
Good morning, Sleeping Beauty. [/i] Ugh, Zephania. It took Liam a few seconds to realize that Chickory had her head on his shoulder. He felt a blush creeping across his face and quickly neutralized his expression so as to look emotionless. No need to lose his cool now. She was just a girl, even if she was leaning on his shoulder, and had probably been the whole night... Still, just a girl. Right? "Uhm...Chickory...?" he mumbled almost incoherently. His eyes wandered over to the clock on the wall across from him. The hour hand was pointed at a number that resembled, in Liam's cloudy eyes, an '8', and the minute hand... on the '12'? Why was this number familiar? You're late for your first class, you dimwitted lump, sighed Zephania. "OH SH*T!" exclaimed Liam, the volume of his voice rising in panic. Late! This was bad, very bad! He hadn't been in his room, so his alarm clock hadn't gone off! What should he do now? He had to get to class quickly! This was his first class this year, and he was already off to a bad start... "Chickory? We have to go...first class...sh*t."Potty mouth.[/blockquote][/size]

Chickory took her head off his shoulder when he said her name. "Hm...?" she asked, more of a sound than a question, but then was suddenly blown away by yelling right after she had woken up.
She blinked a few times, then held up her own wrist. In annoyance she recalled that her other one had broke just before she came and she had neglected to purchase a new one. Izzy grumbled a few choice words of his own.
Suprisingly, she realized that she was actually quite calm about this situation.
I think everybody came and went to their classes and neglected to wake ya'll up. Y'know, not to disturb the nerdy lovebirds on the couch. They left a note, though. Izzy smirked and motioned to her hair. She reached up and removed a sticky note.
GET A ROOM. <3
"Well. That's blunt." She muttered to herself, sticking the nock on the coffee table in front of her, and then looked over to Liam. "You know, for some strange reason I am oddly calm about this whole ordeal. Something to think about later. I must change and retrieve my schedual. Be back in five."
And with that, she whisked out of the room and changed at top speed. She looked at her schedual as she walked back down the stairs.
"I think that was the best I've slept for a while." She said aloud to Izzy, who shook his head and gave a bark of laughter.

Liam jumped up right after Chickory, too agitated to reply to her statement. As he briskly headed up to the boy's dormitory to find his things, the sticky note on the coffee table caught his eye and he paused, reading the message on it before blushing slightly and darting into the dormitory.
No one was there, obviously. Class had already started without him. He had to hurry if he didn't want to look too stupid... God, everyone must have thought he was such a slacker.
He quickly changed into some clean clothes, leaving the dirty ones on his neatly-made bed (unlike all the others, it was undisturbed by sleep), then brushed his teeth and hair. While he was still rubbing his face with a washcloth, he walked over to his bed and looked for his schedule.
He found it underneath the clothes he had just thrown on his bed, and held it up to his glasses-less face, squinting to see the fine print... Potions. That was his first class... OhGod. Muttering angrily to himself about how stupid he was for falling asleep on the couch, he put his glasses back on, dropped the washcloth on his pile of clothes, gathered up his Potions materials, shoved them into his open backpack, and ran out of the room with it.
"Chickory!" he called when he got into the common room again, "I'm going to potions. Are you going there, too?" He was surprised that Zephania hadn't said a word the whole time; she was just flying overhead. Maybe she'd taken pity on him this once? Hopefully. Or else she was just plotting some evil torture for him later.
I'm a lot nicer than you think, Liamface, [/color] teased Zeph in response to his thoughts. Whatever.[/blockquote]

She fidgeted with the sleeve of her jacket, excited. Chickory reached the bottom of the stairs. And looked at Liam. Having just looked at her schedule, she already knew the answer.
"Yeah. I guess I am." She replied, rather cheerful.
And you know what? Every Ravenclaw in that class probably saw ya'll sleeping on the couch. ... Ya nasties. Izzy noted with perhaps a note of jealousy.
She looked down at her shoes. Now she realized how much gossip that would cause later. She could handle it, of course. But what about Liam? Chickory looked up somewhat sheepishly and then asked, "Think we should get going, now? Snape is probably wondering if we died or something." She smiled warmly and stepped a few feet closer to Liam.
Now, now. We doesn't want to get too hasty here. Ya'll are missing the perfect opportunity to make out with each other!
She rolled her eyes at him, but that didn't stop her from wistfully picturing herself and Liam hugging. Or kissing.
Get a grip! She told her self, reluctantly pushing the delightful mental image away from her.
Izzy just grinned.
Oh, the joys of teenage hormones.
Just shut up.

"Outta here," murmured Liam, nodding vigorously. They really needed to go before they were skinned alive by Professor Snape. Tightening his grip on the strap of his backpack, he headed out of the common room, looked both ways to make sure no one was around, and took off at a full speed run.
"Chickory, I'll meet you outside the dungeon!" he called over his shoulder. They were both late, so they'd both go in together. It was only fair.
Zephania soared after him, happy to finally get a chance to stretch her incorporeal wings. Liam always slept soooo long; she wondered if she'd have to start waking him up or something. But now she was just happy to be free.
...And here was Liam, ruining her light-blue freedom skies with a dark rainstorm of anxiety.
Let's hope this isn't a regular thing with you. [/color] It isn't. I've never been late before.Then this'll leave a huge black mark on your record. You'll never get a job and have to live on the streets like a hobo, stealing newspapers from old men and scouring the dumpsters for food every night.[/color] ...Thanks for making me feel better, Zeph.You're very welcome, Mr. Grumpy-Pants.[/color][/blockquote]
