Chapter 5

                                    

                                          
The next day Yetao's body ached all over. Getting up from his bed hurted like hell. He tried to be as silent as possible in order to not wake up his roommates who were still peacefully sleeping. After all, it was still early in the morning.
                          
Before coming to Hogwarts, his sleeping schedule was a mess. He stayed awake until 3 or 4 in the morning and woke up at 10 or 11. When he had to go to school, it was so difficult for him to wake up. That's why he was always late for classes. But teachers couldn't really complain about him because of his perfect grades. They tried to scold him every once in a while, but he always ignored their words. Teachers eventually gave up and Yetao continued maintaining his sleeping habits. 
                          
That was until Professor Zhennan came into his life. Professor was really strict about his time management back then, so Yetao was forced to change his habits, including his sleeping schedule. He slept at eleven, when nobody of his roommates was in their room, and woke up at half past six, when all his roommates were still sleeping. That's why he couldn't even try to talk or socialize with them. 
                          
Also, he spent all his day in classes, studying in the library or in Professor Zhennan's studio. 
                          
"You know, you can change your daily schedule now. You are no longer under my tutelage. Just enjoy your school life." Professor Zhennan said the previous day when Yetao visited him after lunch, but it was easier said than done. After 5 months, it was difficult to wholly change his daily routine, but Yetao promised Zhennan that he would try. 
                          
Even with all his efforts and all the tiredness he collected from yesterday's flying lessons, today he still woke up at half past six. Well, at a quarter to seven to be more precise. Maybe I need to get to bed later. 
                          
After washing up and changing into his clean uniform, he went to the Great Hall to have breakfast. Only a few students were around at this hour. He sat down and decided to have a donut with cappuccino. While he was flipping the pages of his Herbology book sipping the warm liquid in his cup, AK appeared in front of him smiling.
                          
"Good morning, Yetao. You woke up early today." He said with his goofy smile. Was there even a moment in which this boy wasn't smiling?
                          
"Yeah, it's a habit I want to get rid of." Yetao answered with a sigh. 
                          
AK suddenly grabbed his arm. "What happened to your arm?"
                          
Yetao freed himself and looked at the purple livid on his elbow. "Oh this? Probably I got it during my flying training yesterday."
                          
"You mean you are attending first year flying classes?" AK asked, surprised.
                          
"Yeah, flying is the only subject out of my league and I'm kind of a hopeless case. I also need extra training. " Yetao replied with a sigh.
                          
"If you want, I can help you." AK offered.
                          
"Thank you, but I already have my personal trainer." Yetao thought about Oscar a lot after their training session. At first, after the potion class, he thought that the boy was just the typical troublemaker who didn't care about studying, but after Yetao spent some time with him last afternoon, he had changed his mind. Not that he knew him that well just after spending a couple of hours together with him, but now Oscar seemed just a kind boy with a warm heart and a bright smile. Yetao was almost looking forward to his next lesson with him. Almost. 
                          
"And who is it?" 
                          
"Gryffindor's Oscar." Yetao watched confused as AK's usual smile disappeared from his face and his eyes lost focus. "AK? What's wrong?" 
                          
AK's smile came back. "Ah, sorry. I've just remembered that I have something to do. I'll see you later in class." He stood up and left, leaving a puzzled Yetao back.
