Between the chaos that was the start of the term, classes, prefecting duties, NEWT studies, and university applications, it had been a challenge sometimes to be able to just put everything aside and focus on them. Of course some of these things overlapped and they could do them together, it just wasn't the same as being able to step back from it all and just be together.

However, if there was ever a day that they were for sure going to make time for them it was today.

Kurumi's cheeks were already somewhat matching her sweater as she entered the prefect's bathroom and she couldn't not smile right now. One year ago to this day Kurumi had been with Lewis in an empty classroom after everything had been turned upside down. Only that day had ended up being one of the best days of her term.

Sitting down on the sofa, Kurumi set a small box down next to her and anxiously waited for Lewis to arrive. With this day also being somewhat close to his birthday, she really wanted to make it special and give him something to show him just how incredible he was. How much he and everything he had done in this last year meant to her...but nothing ever seemed good enough. Everything seemed to just fall short and before she realized it the day was here and she still hadn't thought of the perfect something to give him. Disappointed, Kurumi had woken up early and gone to the kitchens instead to bake something, something that was now sitting next to her in a box, but it still just didn't seem like it was...enough.

Chewing on her lower lip and tangling her fingers in her hair, Kurumi pulled both her legs up and sat crossed-legged on the sofa and waited.

Dylan had just finished an amazing shower...It was amazing because showers were just that in the Prefect's bathroom. Yep. Everything was ten-times more awesome and such. So, naturally his Captaincy was getting thoroughly abused.

After dressing himself and making sure everything was in place, he set about brushing his teeth...His school bag laid to the side. The Truth Serum was still nestled in the front, just waiting for a victim. Dylan still needed to complete that assignment...but didn't know who he wanted to know anything about.

Bee was out of the question. You couldn't use that sort of potion on a love-interest.

So, he continued to brush...mulling it over...

Spike needed a shower. He'd been out digging up worms for his co-Prefect (well, for her fire crab), and as a result, resembled a far muddier version of his usual self. And for Spike, who continually had mud under his nails from Herbology, that was saying something. Of course, the only place a Prefect went for a shower, was the Prefects' Bathroom. The ones in the rest of the building just weren't the same. And he worked hard for privileges such as these, so he might as well make use of them.

He dumped his bag and large jar of worms by the sink closest to the door, and wrinkled his nose at his mud-smeared reflection in the mirror. Just as he'd gotten more used to the sight of his glasses perched precariously upon his nose, he'd gone and lost them. Sigh. He better find them soon, else there would be a howler sent in his direction, he was sure. Stupid things. He was sure they'd run off on purpose.

He wasn't blind enough to notice there was someone else there, however. He gave the Slytherin Captain a nod. "Dylan," he said simply, figuring that it was probably better to make some kind of acknowledgement at the Snake, even if he was brushing his teeth.

Belle needed to take a shower. She felt so gross and plus she needed to destress herself. As Belle made it to the bathroom with the most softest rob on and slippers, she started the water. It was a huge bathroom, Belle can give the school that. Belle worked hard to be a prefect so she better enjoy this while she can. She got a nice purple robe to use. It was comfortable. Then once she took it off and got into the water, all her worries started to fade. The bubbles made her float. She could barley touch the bottom. It was quite weird.

Then she saw the famous mermaid. She was sitting there flipping her hair. It was cool to see a painting move like that. She was not watching her so it made her feel slightly less awkward. Then she was swimming in the tub. She was having the time of her life. She was swimming in the bubbles. Belle then washed her hair and body. When she was done. She got her purple towel and started to dry off. It felt good to be all clean and be prepared for tomorrow.
