"Hi," Thomas replied, closing his eyes briefly as her fingers slid through his hair before he reached up and wrapped his free hand around her wrist to tug her onto the bed beside him. "Just thought you might be missing your cat," he murmured. "And I wanted to see you," he added a second later, tilting his head slightly to pressed a firm kiss to her lips, the fingers of his other hand still gently scratching behind the kitten's ears while his other arm slid around her waist to pull her closer.

"Were you not satisfied with previous greetings?" he asked, playfully raising an eyebrow. "It was fine, I suppose," he lied with a small shrug of his shoulders. There was something hard in his expression, not as relaxed as it usually was, but he knew he could write it off as running into Dolohov or something like that. "How about your night?" he asked, noting her attire. He was still in his uniform, minus the robes he'd been wearing for the meeting. "Homework-filled or did you take the night off from studying?"

Thomas made a show of leaning over to sniff her neck. "You smell like you normally do," he assured her with a small smile after he had returned his head to the pillow. "I had a long day," he explained with a soft sigh as she ran moved her hands from his neck to his shoulder. "Just you being here is helping."

Thomas shook his head, leaning over to press a kiss to her lips. "You don't have to do that. You look exhausted," he whispered, touching his forehead gently to hers. He then slid his hand beneath Pumpkin and moved her up onto the pillow far above his head before turning his body to face hers, placing a hand on her waist and tugging her a bit closer. "You can stay if you want, though. I'm going to sleep through my first class, so I really won't be getting up that early."

"Sorry," Thomas murmured, his hand absentmindedly stroking her side, eyes fluttering closed. "You really don't have to stay. I'm a big boy, I can sleep by myself," he said as he scooted a bit closer, gently pressing his lips against hers. He ignored her question. Instead, he teasingly said, "My professors do love me, especially Moran. I fall asleep during his class less now that I've had some fun in his classroom."

Thomas smiled and held her a little bit tighter. "It wouldn't be terrible at all... and you know you don't have to sneak out before we get up for breakfast. They hardly care about you spending the night," he told her, pressing a kiss to her hair before settling himself further into the bed, allowing his muscles to begin relaxing into sleep. He chuckled silently at her emphasis on 'knows'. "You're right, he probably does. Smart man, Moran is. But I'm sure it was the knickers you left up there that gave it away." Thomas was quite sure they had retrieved all of their clothing that night, but that didn't mean he couldn't tease her about it the possibility of forgetting her undergarments.

Thomas laughed. "Well, perhaps she'll listen to you now that she's going to receive a letter from Moran that says something along the lines of, 'Mrs. Black, I am sorry to inform you that I discovered your daughter, Andromeda Black's, knickers in my classroom. I have reason to believe she was conducting herself inappropriately with an unknown male companion,'" he said, mimicking Professor Moran's voice.

He felt a light tug on his shirt and opened one eye enough to see Andromeda smirking at him. "Getting out of them really hadn't crossed my mind," he replied, putting a few inches of space between them to lean over and grab a pair of pajama pants from the floor. He unbuttoned his shirt and kicked of his pants before pulling on the pants he had just retrieved. "Better?" he asked, his voice taking on a rather amused tone as he returned to his previous position lying beside her.

"Oh, I'm sure your sister is smart enough not to say anything about that," he said, reaching a hand up to brush a lock of hair that had fallen out of her ponytail behind her ear. "And who said anything about sneaking in your room?" he asked, raising a teasing eyebrow at her. "I was planning on behaving myself and here you are trying to make sure I get on your mother's bad side over the holidays."

Thomas brought his hand down away from her face to rest on her side and pull her closer to him, closing the little bit of space that had found its way between them when he changed his clothes. "Mhm, I'm sure," he replied, making sure it sounded as if he was thoroughly unconvinced. "What kind of girl do I think you are? Hmmm... the good kind, the kind that would never even think of do anything improper, like seducing her boyfriend in the Astronomy classroom," he teased.
