”Can I please just have five more minutes-” Jack mumbled into the alarm clock that was sounding off like a rooster. He wasn’t sure that he could take much more of it...but he was too lazy to reach over and turn it off. Jack Campbell hated getting up early, but he knew that today was a very special day. It was the day that he had planned on taking pictures of the sunrise. But - judging from the gloomy cloud that he could see outside of the Gryffindor Tower window - he wasn’t going to get very much shooting done this morning. But he knew that he couldn’t go back to sleep...he didn’t have that luxury of ability. Finally, after five minutes of listening to it blare into his ear, Jack managed to hit the button on the top of the contraption, ”Bloody muggle inventions.” His dad had made him take the alarm to school with him, but refused to tell him out to turn it off so that it didn’t happen every morning...he supposed that was fair enough punishment for the marks that he had been receiving at school lately. Slowly, Jack managed to sit up in bed. He rubbed his head, feeling the dull headache that was still there. ‘That would be the remnants of your drinking habits, Jackie,’ He reminded himself as he leaned over and hung his head. It was going to be a long day...that much was for certain.

Slowly, he got up out of bed and straightened his pajama bottoms. He picked up a t-shirt that was hanging on his bed post and threw it over his shoulder, not bothering to put it on. There would be time for that later. He crossed into the lavatory and gave his teeth a brush and then ran his hands through his hair, making sure that it was sufficiently messed up and tossed. He hated when it was too stiff, made him feel as if he couldn’t be himself. He pulled the shirt over his head and then proceeded to mess his hair up yet again; sure that it wasn’t perfect if it had moved but an inch.

After deciding that he looked relatively decent, Jack meandered down the stairs to the main part of the common room. No one was up yet - which didn’t surprise him considering that it was only a little past six am. Jack yawned slightly as he finished his decent down the stair case and then pulled a blanket off of the chair that was nearby. He moved toward the sofa that was in front of the fire and plopped down, wrapping himself in the blanket and putting his feet up, ”So much for getting out this morning, Campbell.” He rolled his eyes at himself, knowing better than to have planned something in advance. It never worked out for him. As Jack sat there, he began dozing off and before he knew it, his eyes were closing and he was drifting off into dream-land.

When it comes to wanting to get some sleep in the morning, having a bed next to a window wasn't very lucky. That was Erzse. Her bed was right next to a window that was rarely closed at night, and when it is closed, and that it very rare, it is usually open by the morning. Leaving Erzse to have the bright sun shining in her face, and that always woke her up in the morning. It was like an alarm-clock withought that ringing in her ear. But who knows what is really worse. Sun, of a loud noise in her ear.

With the sun shining brightly threw the window, and into Erzse's face, she rolled up, turned around, and curled herself in a ball. The only bad thing about being woken up, is that Erzse can not get back to sleep. Once she us woken up, no matter how tired she may be, if it's morning, Erzse can never get back to sleep. At least now, Erzse can actually get to sleep, and the large bags under her eyes have disappeared and Erzse was not tired anymore. She was glad that Eden had helped her to get more sleep.

Rolling out of her ball, and out onto the floor, Erzse pulled her soft blanket around her arms and back, and headed down to the common room. Being still rather tired, but awake all the same. Walking over to the crackling fire, Erzse sat herself down on one of the chairs with her blanket wrapped around her. Looking at the fire, and then at the sofa, Erzse noticed a lump covered with a blanket. "Hello?" Erzse said to the lump with what she could see with short, dirty blonde hair.

Jack wasn’t sure how long that he had dozed off for, in fact, he wasn’t sure that he had dozed off at all. He was having the most peculiar dream, but it felt way too much like reality. He was running through a forest and being chased by some sort of animal...and then he went down hard. He could swear that he felt the blood in his mouth, the pounding in his head, and the adrenaline in his veins. He could hear the sounds of the animal behind him, coming closer and circling him like he was prey. Jack knew that it was over as the animal started ripping him limb from limb until-

“Hello?”

Thankfully someone’s voice pulled him from the dream that he was having and he immediately jerked awake. He realized that he was sweating and almost completely buried in the blanket that he had wrapped himself in. He threw it off of his head and began looking around to see who it was that had been calling to him. It was only then that he realized Erzsebet sitting in one of the chairs that was a few feet from him, ”Bloody hell-” He said, trying to play it off like he hadn’t been having a nightmare and it was really her voice that had shocked him so. He knew that she probably wouldn’t believe him though...the very fact that he was almost all drenched in sweat and shaking slightly would give him away.

”Merlin’s beard, Erzse...” He breathed, starting to calm down a little bit as he reached up and wiped his brow with the bottom of his t-shirt. It was going to be a long day...he had woken up so early and now this? It was throwing him completely off, ”You shouldn’t sneak up on people like that. Some of us are trying to get some sleep.” His tone was probably sharper than it should have been and it was drenched in salty sarcasm, but he just couldn’t help it. In a huff, Jack threw his feet up onto the table and then ran his hands through his hair instinctively, ”Why’re you up this early anyways?”

Almost automatically, the figure jerked up to where age could see their face. It was Jack. He could defiantly be an arse sometimes, but Erzse really didn't mind him. For some odd reason, he reminded her of Izsak, her older brother. It was probably the way that both of them seemed to act so "cool". But also in the way they can be just plain arse's. So, it didn't really bug Erzse all that much to be around people like that, that was probably because she had lived with her smart arse older just about her whole life, and could handle it.

Though, Erzse couldn't help, but to notice the small droplets of sweat on his brow, but Jack quickly wiped it away. But Erzse did, for a moment, wonder why he seemed to be sweating. It couldn't have seen the fact she had woken him up, because he seemed frightened, not as scared as he would start to sweat. Then again, it couldn't be just the fact that he was under a blanket, and there was a blazing fire right in front if him. But either way, Erzse wanted to know, but she probably wouldn't mention anything about it, yet.

Erzse lifted up one eye-brow at Jack, as if to say "excuse me?". Honestly, she hadn't snuck up on anyone, she had been sitting there for a little while already. And it wasn't like she had come up and purposely scared him. If she had, and that wouldn't be a thing that she would do, Erzse wouldn't be sitting in a chair right in front of him. That was just simply logic. "Okay, I didn't sneak up on anyone, at least not on purpose, because if I had ment to sneak up on you, I would not be sitting in a chair right in front of you," Erzse said, as she pulled her legs under her.

"I can't exactly sleep with a light shining in my face," she said shifting slightly to one side to where her legs where layed our flat under her. But she also wanted to know why he was out here in the first place. Why he couldn't gave been content to finish his slumber in his bed up in the dormitory. That's what Erzse would have done if it's possible for her to even get back to sleep after she has gotten up. But that probably isn't what Jack would do, obviously. Since he was sitting in front of her, seemingly mad that she had woken him up.

Jack was still feeling a little shaken about the whole thing. He could feel his heart beat in his throat and for a second, he thought that Erzse was going to call him out on it. But she seemed to not mind the fact that that Jack looked like a walking - well, in this case, sitting - mess. He shook his head, trying to shake off the residual feelings of anxiety that he was having, but found that it didn’t help much. The dream was sticking with him like a piece of chewed gun stuck to the bottom of his shoe. He managed to focus back on Ezrse and found that that helped a little bit to make him feel better. Slowly he was beginning to calm back down and he could only wait it out until the rest of his body decided that it was time to calm itself as well.

She said something about not sneaking up on him and Jack practically snorted, ”C’mon-” He said, looking around to see if anyone else was up. There was no one else in the room and there were other seats all around, but she had decided to take the one that was right next to him? Slim chance that that was just coincidence. He raised his finger as if he was going to point out that there was something wrong with what she had just said, but he honestly couldnt think of anything. She had a point that she probably hadn’t snuck up on him; he was just getting defensive. Slowly he reached his arms up into the air, stretching out his sore muscles. Sleeping on the couch was not his favorite thing to do; if often caused him more pain that it was worth. Slowly, he let his arms fall to his lap where he pulled the blanket up so that it was covering him once again. It was already quite warm in the common room, but the cold sweat that he had been in had left him dangerously close to feeling feverish, ”I guess I just-” He paused, unsure of how to defend himself without admitting that he was having a nightmare. He eventually shrugged his shoulders, pretending as if nothing was wrong in the slightest.

”Right no, that makes sense.” Jack agreed when she talked about the light, ”It was actually raining early this morning.” He said as he looked over at her, and then frowned, ”I was going to get up and snap a couple of shots of the sunset for the Prophet and-” He rolled his eyes, ”Well conditions were less than desirable.” He had purposely name dropped the newspaper that he had been working for over the past couple of summers; not sure why he wanted to impress Erzse, but knowing that he did. He wanted everyone to be impressed by what he had been doing lately...because he wanted to make a name for himself in the journalist department.
