Chapter 5
"He's walking up! Guys, he's waking up!" I heard a voice coming from a distant. I could barely make out what the voice was saying because it sounded all fuzzy and muffled.
"Holy shit! Holy shit!" Said another voice that was coming closer.
"Shut up, Padfoot. You're going to wake everyone in the tower up."
I blinked my eyes a couple of times, groaning at the bright light that was pointed directly at my face.
"Put your wand down, you're going to blind him."
My head began racing when I heard that voice. Her voice.
"Moony?"
I slowly opened my eyes only to see Y/n, James, Sirius and Peter staring at me.
"Re, are you okay?" Y/n asked, sitting down on the side of my bed next to Peter.
I turned my head to the side and saw three lonely single beds. The room was messy and there were books and clothes scattered around on the floor.
I was back in the dorm.
Back in 1977.
I looked back at Y/n and smiled at her softly.
"Perfect actually." I said, reaching out to put my hand on top of hers.
She looked down at our hands and I instantly became nervous. I completely forgot that were not together. Well, not together yet. I felt her move her fingers along mine and then she gave my hand a little squeeze, as if she knew what I was thinking about.
"How was it? Am I still cool in the future? Wait- important question! Does my hair still look this good?" Sirius asked, running a hand through his hair dramatically.
James scoffed and pushed Sirius aside.
"No one gives a flying monkey what your hair will look like. What we do care about is..." James said, walking closer to me.
"Did Lily finally say yes?!" James screeched into my ear.
"Bloody hell." Peter mumbled, closing his ears with the palm of his hands.
I copied his action, groaning at the ringing noise James's voice left in my ear.
"Okay, you pieces of turd. How about we talk about this tomorrow?" Y/n asked, pushing James away from me.
"Technically it is the next day. It's 3:26 a.m." Peter said, looking down at his watch.
"Pete, I'll bake you some chocolate chip cookies tomorrow, if you go to bed now." Y/n said, placing her hand on Peter's shoulder.
"Goodnight!" Peter said, waving us off.
I laughed as he buried himself into his bed and quickly dozed off.
"How long was I out for?" I asked, lazily running a hand through my hair.
"Twenty four hours, mate. Just as the book said." James said, patting my back.
"Probably felt like a couple of hours to you." Sirius pointed out.
"I guess time really does go by when you're having fun." I said, biting back a smile.
"Mmm, had fun did you? Hope you didn't forget about us you cheeky bastard." James said, laughing.
"No, I could never." I said, smiling at Y/n.
She smiled back at me and all I wanted to do was pull her into my arms and hold her tight.
"So, I've been passed out for twenty four hours and you lot still didn't clean up this dorm?" I asked, pointing at the massive mess that exploded on the floor.
"Suddenly I feel very tired." James said, pretending to yawn.
"Oh, so so sleepy." Sirius said, rubbing his eyes.
"Right, Pads. The faster we fall asleep, the faster morning will come." James said, throwing his arm over Sirius's shoulder.
“Right, Prongs. And the faster morning will come, the faster we will be able to annoy Moony." Sirius said, wrapping his arm around James's waist.
I rolled my eyes and laughed.
"What I will tell you is that you two will still annoy me even when we're in our thirties." I said smiling at them as they got into their beds.
As the room went silent, I slowly turned my head to look at Y/n. She was looking down at her lap when a loose strand of hair fell across her face. I gently reached out and pushed it behind her ear, just like I did when I was in the future. She jumped slightly at my touch and looked up at me with shy eyes and rosy cheeks.
"Um, I should go back to my bed." Y/n said, getting up.
"No!" I said quickly, reaching forward to take a hold of her hand once again.
She looked at me with a confused look.
"I mean... it's really late. You can stay, if you want." I said, feeling the heat rise up on the tip of my ears.
"Stay where?" She asked, looking around the dorm.
"Here. With me." I blurted out, looking up at her.
She blinked her eyes in surprise but slowly nodded.
"Oh-okay." She said, looking a bit unsure of what to do next.
"Here." I said, letting go of her hand so I could push my duvet back so she could get in.
She looked down at me and I gave her a reassuring smile. I patted the empty spot next to me and she carefully crawled in. I watched as she sank her head onto the pillow that was squeezed tightly against mine. This reminded me of the position we were in before I woke up. Only there, we were holding each other and her beautifully round belly was resting against mine. I smiled at the memory of us laying in our bed together. At the memory of the incredible feeling of our child kicking my cheek through her stomach. At the memory of us eating dinner with our best friends. Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted when I felt a pair of eyes on me. Y/n was looking deeply into my eyes, as if she was trying to understand what was going on inside my mind.
"You're smiling like a mad man." She whispered, smiling lightly.
Oh shit. Oh fuck.
"Am I?" I asked, feeling my heart pound against my chest.
She only nodded, not taking her eyes off of me.
"Is it really that good? The future?" She asked, curiously.
I slowly inched my body closer to hers and I could smell the aromatic scent of her lavender shampoo.
I looked into her sparkling eyes and smiled widely.
"It's absolutely wonderful."
