(Yes so I couldnt think of a title! Bite me! And it has nothing to do with any evil)
It was somewhere in early morning, everyone was asleep, ask her what time and she wouldnt be able to tell you. Not that she could do much more than just growl at you right now anyway. The little tiger cub, which wasnt really that little as tiger cubs are about the size of a 10 month old puppy, was curled infront of the fire. Its nose was underneath the belly. Tiger-Rieko was so fluffy if anyone walked by who didnt know there was an Animagi within the common room would probably try and clean her up thinking she was just a ball of fluff.
Around half an hour passed, it was still fairly dark outside, though she heard someone shuffle upstairs and being caught in her animagus form was not how she wanted to spend her morning. Stretching out and yawning, her tongue flicking out and her claws extending, she shifted back to her human form. The fur receding, her hair lengthening and she steadily got bigger, hearing someone coming down the stairs she quickly jumped up and stood infront of the fire as though she had been there all along. Being caught on the floor wasnt exactly what she wanted to do either.
Rieko knew if they had looked over the balcony thing they would have seen a Tiger, of course, Rieko would deny it and say they were crazy and probably tired. Yes, she had her story. Still Rieko wouldnt put it past some people to keep trying to get it out of her, she could only hope it was Blake or Maxi considering the two of them already knew anyway. Walking over to the window and flinging it open she could tell it was going to be a halfway decent morning.

Groaning, Harrison glanced at his watch before falling back onto his pillow, closing his eyes in hope that sleep would take hold of him once again. But it was no use, he was awake and there was nothing he could do about it. Staring at the ceiling for a few minutes Harrison finally managed to convince himself that he should get out of nice warm bed and wonder down towards the commonroom and stake claim on the comfiest sofa and maybe pick off the last of the left over from the midnight snacks that had been smuggled up into the commonroom the night before.
Pulling on a baggy t-shirt and ruffling his hair up some more Harrison stumbled out of the dorms trying not to wake the other lads up…which considering he could not help things were quite a blur and for some reason he kept yawning.
Walking down the first flight of steps and along the balcony Harrison peered down to see if anyone was actually awake at this God forsaken hour…and he was convinced he saw something by the fire but it might just have been a trick of the light. So he thought nothing more about it and jogged down the last few steps and as soon and his feet touched the soft red carpet at the bottom he realised he was not alone.
“Morning Rieko.”
Harrison gave Rieko a small smile before jumping onto his favourite sofa and flopping down onto it, resting his head on one arm and his feet on the other. Letting out a deep breath of relaxation he looked over at the female Gryffindor, it had been a while since he had seen her…the time in the corridor with Blake had to be the last, but for some reason he felt like he had been spending a lot mort time with her…maybe they had just sat near each other at lunch or in the commonroom and he had not realised.

It didnt take a genius to work out what had gone on here last night. A midnight feast of some kind, though Rieko was glad she had spent the night outside she hated feasts. The thing that got Rieko was, she was being less and less careful concerning her illegal Animagi status, no matter how many times she told herself to be careful, someone always spotted the white ball of fluff.
It had been a while since she had spent time with anyone other than Blake, not that she was complaining, she enjoyed spending time with him. Though he seemed to take up all of her spare time, was this just Rieko being awkward? Probably, knowing Rieko, she could be a very difficult one to please, but saying that, Blake was always there when she needed a pick-me-up, and usually whenever she saw Blake she actually did need picking up as she was usually on the floor. Wasnt that how they met? Yes, Rieko had run into a load of armour suits and found herself buried beneath it.
"Morning Rieko"
She was dragged out of her thoughts by a familiar voice, turning round she saw a very tired Harrison. She watched as he went to sit down, seemingly not noticed anything out of the ordinary, though Rieko saw a patch of bright white fluff infront of the fire where she lay, which she hurridly picked up and stuffed into her pocket.
"Morning Harrison"
She sat down infront of the fire, her hand in her pocket twidling with the fluff, she never realised just how soft her fur was, no wonder people liked stroking her and picking her up, no mater how much she hated it. Rieko looked in the flames, the softness of them dancing around within the grate and the warmth coming off it, okay she was not writing a romance novel here sheesh. Shaking her head she looked back at Harrison, in all honesty this was the first time she had ever had a conversation with him without Blake around and didnt quite know what to say.
"Where's your fanclub this morning then?"

Stretching his arms up in the air he could feel the muscles start to twinge with pain and his shoulders click a few times and loosen up. With a small grin as Reiko greeted him Harrison failed to notice what she was doing by the fire, in fact he had quite blocked Reiko out of his mind as he lazily looked over the reams of food that was left on the coffee table in front of him. The decision of what type of cake to eat was almost as difficult as the decision of what shoes he should wear in the morning...it was impossible.
It was only at the sound of the female Gryffindors voice did he look up from the food and saw that she was standing where that white thing had been…but clearly it was nothing otherwise Reiko would have mentioned something or standing on it and seeing as neither had happened Harrison thought no more on the matter for the moment.
“I think they are being sensible for once in their lives and they are in bed…anyway they seem to have moved onto Blake and Toby at the moment…which is nice as I get moments like this to myself.”
With a small smile Harrison looked back at the cakes and his eyes landed on one covered with purple icing, yes that one looked very appetising indeed, although the one next to it with multicoloured sprinkles also made his mouth water…he needed more time for his tired mind to think and the silence in the commonroom was deafening.
“What are you doing up then Miss Rieko…it is a weekend after all.”

"Im sure those girls dont know the meaning of the word sensible"
Rieko really didnt think much of those girls who followed Harrison, Blake and Toby around like lost little puppy dogs. With that she rolled her eyes, she ran a hand through her hair with a sigh she looked back into the fire. She couldnt quite make her mind up if she was still tired or not, the moment she thought she was, she felt wide awake again, it was rather annoing for her. She pulled her red jumper further around her, not that she was cold, infact she didnt know why.
"Though im sure Toby and Blake can handle them" She smiled, "They've had enough practise right?"
She had every confidence in these lads to know they wouldnt run off with the first girl who offered it to them, leastways she believed they were smarter than that, though in all honesty she could only say this for sure about Blake, she didnt know Harrison very well and she had never spoken to Toby. They never really caught Rieko's eye until she literally kept running into Blake, pulling back her sleeve, she had a bruise from where she had last ran into him. Memento of Blake. She laughed to herself, normal people had peoples belongings, or muggles did anyway, though she was sure Blake would probably have bits of her tiger fur on his clothes the amount of times she had tiger-crashed him.
"Well I wouldnt say to yourself since your not exactly alone, are you?"
She stuck her tongue out at Harrison, and pulled her hand out of her pocket, rubbing her hands together to get the excess fluff of her hands. She looked up as Harrison asked her a question and with a shrug she simply said,
"I've not been asleep yet." She pulled her hands over her face and smiled, "Though I'd grab something to eat in the great hall then take my little self off to hogsmeade. Rather than stay here all day anyway. What are you doing up?"

Reiko had a point he was not alone, although he would not deny that having a bit of company that was not in the shape of the other two was very relaxing, it gave him time to think, (yes Harrison Greg does occasionally think) and even if the boredom really had set in he could do some of his school work. It was then his mind wondered back to the white thing he saw by the fire, he thought he was alone before that, the common room was empty but as he turned the corner Reiko was there…
Glancing over at the fire Harrison stared at the spot he was convinced the white ball of fluff has been but there was nothing there, not even a trace to show that something had been there. With a small sigh Harrison came to the conclusion that he was seeing things dude to tiredness and that nothing was really their, unless Reiko was a ball of fluff in her spare time…and he very much doubted that.
“Well we are never really alone in the castle.” Harrison continued their conversation from earlier. “I mean with all these painting looking at us and their always seems to be an animal in the corridors now a days, the school is turning into a bloody zoo.”
Harrison knew his uncle would have a thing or two to say about that if he knew, well the uncle he had known all those years back. He was sure his thoughts would have stayed longer on his uncle, wondering what he was doing and where he was but Reiko was answering his question from before and he could not help but laugh when she said she had not been to sleep yet.
“Well that is not very good for you Reiko, you need your beauty sleep.” He gave her a playful wink almost in come back to her sticking his tongue out at him and for some reason Harrison could not help but think that is Blake had heard that he would have had a rather hard thumb in the shoulder blades. “I myself have had my beauty sleep and I am planning of wooing a few young ladies today now that I am fully refreshed.”

So Rieko wasnt a ball of fluff exactly in her spare time, she was a tiger cub, but when balled up she could easily be mistaken for one as she fondled the fluff between her fingers in her pocket. Looking at the fire as the flames danced over the wood within it. She was very concious of her Animagi side as she knew the ministry was clamping down on it. She knew Blake knew about it, though that was obvious, and Max, again obvious. Ash knew due to being Maxi's ex, but his new girlfriend (that still confused her, Max had a girlfriend) didnt know.
"I know we arent." Yet one could still feel lonely from time to time, and paintings didnt exactly make good conversation partners did they? The school is turning into a bloody zoo. Rieko snapped her head around at Harri with a slight wince and looked at him purplexed, "Whats that supposed to mean?"
Rieko hadnt known what he meant by that, but in a way it sounded offensive, especially to an Animagi like herself. She was pretty sure he'd seen her in her animal state but it hadnt registered with him yet. Luckily for her at least, she didnt know Harri so she didnt know if he could be trusted with this.
"Oh, I think I'm beautiful enough to miss one nights sleep."
Rieko stuck her tongue out playfully at Harri, he, like Blake, was definatly a charmer, more looks than brain though. Rieko smiled as that came into her head and was sure it would be an unwelcome opinion, though in all honesty she was jumping to conclusions again as she didnt know him and so she didnt know if he was smart or not.
"Is that all you and Blake think about? Wooing the girls?" Rieko shook her head, "One day you're gonna come across one you actually like and she will take you by such force you wont know whats hit you Harrison Greg"
