Chapter 94: Short and sweet
I understand that this is a short chapter, but I don't have much to do on. As of this point in story. Next chapter will be bigger since the classes would have started and everything with the clubs and all. You can think of this as filler if you want to.
Bye.

The morning crept up quietly in Jon's room. The shades were closed, no alarm to stop and no singing of birds to wake anyone up. But Jon was already up, his brain had been clocked to wake up at 5 no matter what day it was and today was no different.
Yet it also was, in Jon's bed both him and Victoria laid quietly, both of them snuggled into each other, Victoria's head was over Jon's chest and her hands around his bare waist, Jon's hand was over Victoria's waist keeping her close.
Jon took in a deep breath and got himself free of Victoria's grasp. He looked at her sleeping a small chuckle left his mouth. She looked very adorable when she slept. Jon described it as a panda that fells asleep while sitting. Later he would mention it to Victoria and that would be a very big mistake on his part, however true it might be.
He stretched his body and got in front of the mirror, he looked at himself a mixture of hum and sigh released from him breath. He shook his head and dropped his pants and got into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. He put on his running boots and grabbed his Walkman, he put headphones over his ears and was out of there.
[Baby got back- Sir Mix-a-Lot.]
The sun always came too early around Hogwarts at that's what the students thought and it might be true but Jon liked it, his routine made him better. After he was done running around Hogwarts for 2 or 3 rounds he was a little gassed up. He sat around a tree near the broom shed and the area where they taught flying.
By this time people were awake and he needed to get his routine done. He got up and ran to somplace secluded. He chose the area between the greenhouse and the forbidden forest. He did his pushups, sit-ups and squats. He did them quickly and efficiently. As he was done he made his way back to him room running.
He walked through the common room, most people were awake by now even if they didn't want to. Jon brushed past the onlookers and made his way into his room. He saw that Victoria was gone by now. He removed his t-shirt and shorts and got into the bathtub. As he was done with his shower and everything he again stood in front of the mirror. He looked at the image in front of him, he watched and critiqued it silently.
He concluded with a hum and a slight now. He weaved his hands through his hair and shook off the excess water and got to his closet. He took a black shirt and black trousers and wore them. Since there was no class, he could wear whatever he chooses to. He styled his hair and wore a pair of black loafers. He looked at himself and he was pleased, he got out of his room and walked into the common room.
He found Ted lying in wait, he was wearing a navy blue shirt and black pants. He got up and said, "Huh… didn't know you liked shirts."
"I don't but they love me."
Ted hummed and both of them walked out of the common room and made their way to the great hall for breakfast.
"So how was last night?" Ted asked with a the same sly look as last night.
"It was good… I slept well."
"What? You slept?" Ted looked at Jon and was baffled by his answer. "Come on… you are joking right? You couldn't have just slept."
"I really don't want to talk about it with you… it's just feels awkward."
"Who else you'll talk to? I'm your only friend."
"Not true…"
"Oh, who'll you talk to Hermione? Tracey? Come on, I'm the only one you can talk to. And I promise I won't tell it to anyone."
Jon sighed and said, "We just made out."
"That's it?"
"Yeah"
"I thought you were doing more… If I had known I wouldn't have left."
"It's not that easy and it's not like it's in my hands… it's complicated."
"I somehow feel sorry for you."
Jon looked at Ted and just sighed. Both of them reached the great hall, they spotted their friends. Both of them took their seat. Jon sat across Victoria and Daphne and Ted sat across from Tracey. The girls looked at both of them.
"You two look good…" Tracey said as she ate a bit of toast.
"Thank you…" "Thanks."
"So what are you guys doing today?" Daphne asked
"We'll be hanging out posters and sign sheets for the club." Jon said as he took out his wand.
"Oh, don't worry already checked for everything." Tracey said.
"Huh, thanks Tracey." Jon replied as he took a slice of toast and lathered some butter on it and ate it. He pored himself some tea and took a sip. "What are you guys going to do?"
"I'll be downstairs, reading some books on you know what… Im finally able to understand the more complex and older books." Daphne said as she asked for sugar.
Jon passed the sugar and looked at Victoria and said, "I think I'll check around the castle… just roaming around you know."
Ted hummed and took an egg started to peel it. "What about you?" He looked at Tracey and she just tilted her head and said, "I don't know. I'll see."
Ted hummed and Jon looked at him and smiled and said, "If you want to you can come with us to hang the posters and such?"
Ted looked at Jon and Tracey thought for a moment. She hummed and shrugged her shoulders "Okay, why not."
Jon looked a little happy with the situation developing. If he could drag Ted down this well with him… he'll stop taking pot shots at him and since he promised him why the hell not. After the breakfast was done all of them went their own ways.
This was the start of their new year and they were all hoping that no psychopath would come along and ruin it for them. But they all kinda knew that was a little impossible. Jon's paranoia and jaded attitude had somewhat rubbed off on them and for what's it worth. It's better to be cautious than lying dead in a ditch somewhere in the forbidden forest.
