This Is Going To Get Interesting

Sleep wasn't a top priority on Edward's list of things to do with the huge pile of homework sitting in front of him. He knew it was well past three in the morning, and he had barely made a dent in his make-up work. It was fairly warm in the common room that morning, and the dark sky outside was very clear, making it easier for the moon to shine brightly into the large window behind him.

Usually, Edward wouldn't care about his work, but soon it hit him: it was his final year, and he was barely passing, and Ed certainly did not want to repeat his seventh year. In front of him, there were about two Charms textbooks, a very thick DADA book, a Potions book, and about four books filled with parchment that had, for the most part, already been filled out with make-up work.

He didn't mind all the work, it got his thoughts away from the bad things that he always caught himself thinking of. He wasn't sure why he was so stressed lately, but it was slowly beginning to take it's toll on his life. He knew what he needed, but he couldn't find it; he needed someone to be with, and to love. A partner, someone to be with him through thick and thin, and to see past his various flaws.

But could he find that? No, of course not. Girls at Hogwarts were much too "good" for him.

Edward didn't understand girls for the most part, especially his sister. Julia was one of the most complicated girls he knew. She was so, indecisive, and sometimes she could be loud. One wouldn't notice that about Jules- unless you spent an entire summer with her in Ireland. But she wasn't a bad person, not at all, and she basically wanted the same thing that Edward wanted, and she couldn't find it either. Of course, she had had the best luck out of the two siblings, having about three boyfriends within her sixth and seventh years, but none of those boys were good for her. They were all either trouble, or just not the right fit. Ed guessed that that was the "Luck 'O The Traverse's"

Setting his quill on the thick wood table, Ed brushed his fingers through his hair, sighing lightly as he did so. He wished that he had, at the least, someone to talk to, or take his mind off of things. He looked around the dark common, no one was there, except the second year boy that would often sleep walk around the couches and back to his dormitory. Edward turned back to his work, and wrote a few more answers down, hoping someone would come to his rescue.

Yumi laid in her bed in th girl's dormitories, anything but asleep. Something was keeping he up, no matter how much she tried she couldn't fall asleep. Sighing, she st up in her bed. She looked around the dormitory; everyone was asleep.

She got out of bed and walked down to the common room, in a black tank top and white pajama pants. She didn't know what time it was, just that it was very early in the morning. She yawned softly and rubbed her eyes.

As she entered the common room, she saw it was almost completely empty. Almost. There was one other person there, a boy.

She walked over to him, and saw all the books he had with him. He seemed overwhelmed with work. She wondered why he would have all that work, but she thought it best not to ask. She sat down next to him and smiled.

"Do you need any help?" she asked him.
