"OK, well, you can wake up later," Finn grunted, hauling Keagan up again, "Yeah, yeah, I promise." Finn walked along the corridor, wishing there was somewhere he could put her down that wasn't just the floor. He held Keagan in his arms, wondering whether it was best to try to sit down, or just keep wandering. He didn't know how much more his arms could take, so he figured sitting down would be best. The Ravenclaw leaned against a wall and started to slide down until he realized it wasn't a wall. It was a door.
Finn didn't know how he could have possibly forgotten about the Room of Requirement, but maybe it was because he'd only ever been there once. Still, it certainly came in handy right now. Pushing his way back up, trying to hold the sleeping Gryffindor, Finn awkwardly opened the door and stepped in.
Inside, the Ravenboy found a bed, big enough for just one person and it looked incredibly comfortable. Finn gently put Keagan down on it and started back out the door. "I'll leave you here then," he said on his way out.

Keagan was shaken awake slightly by Finn's up-down movement, and she was very confused when he turned and stepped into a room that she knew wasn't the Gryffindor Common Room. "Huh?" she murmured, blinking her eyes open to slits again as she looked around a bit and noted that the room held a bed...a bed that she was soon laying upon.
"You're just gonna leave me here alone?" she called after him after rolling onto her side on the bed; not knowing where she was was kind of scary, and being alone in such a place made it a much more defined emotion.

Finn stopped on his way out and turned around as Keagan spoke. It was the most intelligent thing she'd said in the last little while and he couldn't ignore it and pass it off as more slur. Finn smiled at Keag and came back into the room a little more. "I can stay if you really want me to," he told her, speaking softly. It might be a little odd if he was just in there, watching her sleep, but he didn't mind staying if Keagan really wanted him to.

Keagan's accelerated heartrate calmed considerably when Finn reentered the room and smiled at her; being scared had certainly reawakened her, enough to be somewhat conscious of her current state, anyway. "Strange place. It's kinda scary, especially without my pillow," she replied in explanation with a slight grin, assuming he'd know she wanted him to remain. She pawed at Finn's sweater lightly before she spoke again. "This sweater around my neck is kind of strange, too."

Finn raised a curious eyebrow at Keagan but just shook his head, chuckling to himself. He walked back to the side of the bed and sat down on it's edge. "You fall asleep and suddenly don't remember the sweater you've been holding hostage for days?" Finn questioned in a sarcastic tone.
With a sigh, the Ravenclaw stood again and tried to conjure up a chair. One appeared and he pulled it toward the side of the bed and made himself as comfortable as he could on it, kicked off his shoes and put his feet up. "Seems sort of pointless to be here, now that you're more awake," Finn stated with a frown. He'd done all that work for nothing. Oh well, he really didn't mind.

"I meant that it was in a strange place, and I don't remember it getting there," Keagan replied, sticking her tongue out at him from where she laid flat on the bed.
"I'm sorry," she responded to his statement and frown. She knew it must have been a chore to get her all the way from the Lake to the...seventh floor? "I could fall asleep again, if you want, once I know where I am, of course. You scared the willies out of me...I'm sorry." She rambled and frowned herself; now she felt like she was requiring quite a bit of him, having made him walk up all those steps and now having him tend to her like she was a child. She was pathetic.

"Perhaps it was I who put it there," Finn replied, still in his sarcastic tone, and he tapped his nose as one does during a game of Charades.
"You don't need to apologize," Finn told her, his tone not sarcastic anymore, but truthful, "It really wasn't a problem. You're light, I don't mind carrying you." Finn winked at Keagan and flashed her a smile. He laughed slightly as she offered to fall asleep again, but only after she knew where she was. Had she really been that out of it? "You can sleep if you want to. It's just the Room of Requirement. I doubt anyone else is going to come in."

"Perhaps, but perhaps it was Peeves," she replied sarcastically as well, knowing full well, now, that it was Finn who had placed it in it's current position. Reaching back to untie it from her neck, Keagan pondered, sarcastically, aloud, "Why is it so hard to get you to keep your sweater?"
Once the sweater was off her neck, Keagan turned onto her side again and place her cheek against her hand. "I didn't fall asleep because I wanted to; you're just that comfy." Knowing more apologizing was futile, the Gryffindor's tone had softened and she apologized with her gaze instead.

"Well, maybe I'd get to keep if you stopped needed it every time I saw you," Finn retorted, sticking his tongue out playfully and grinning.
Finn turned his body on the chair so he could lean over and look at Keagan to she was right side up, despite the fact that she was lying down. "I wasn't aware that I was oh so comfortable," he told her, "Perhaps I should change my name to Pillow." Finn closed his eyes and groaned internally, realizing how lame that sounded only after it was too late.

"That could be a fun nickname to play around with," Keagan replied, smiling brightly and keeping it there until Finn was sure to have noticed; you just can't waste those kind of smiles.
"You're better than this old thing." Keagan nudged the pillow lying on the bed. "And warm, too. Just right."

Finn finally opened his eyes and caught sight of her smile. It only made him smile as well, broader than hers and his cheeks even turned slightly pink, although he wasn't really sure why they had. Lately they'd had a mind of their own.
"Is that some kind of subtle hint that you want me as a pillow again?" Finn questioned, jokingly of course and he flashed her another toothy smile and a wink.

"Not necessarily as a pillow..." Keagan replied, feeling her cheeks blaze in a rush of color. Shyly, she collapsed her arm and turned to hide her face in the pillow on the bed. It was only then that she realized the situation they were currently in (one room, two people, one bed, etc.) and how bad it might seem if the two of them really were dating. The thought made her face become even more red and Keag was glad her face was currently concealed.

Finn had looked down when Keagan dropped her head, so he hadn't noticed her cheeks turning pink. All he knew was that he wanted his cheeks to return to their normal colour.
Standing up once more, Finn sat on the edge of the bed again and leaned back, only to not realize where the head board was and smack his skull right on it. Slick. With a short groan, Finn pushed himself up so he was resting against it nicely. "Shove over and make room," Finn told Keagan, chuckling as he ordered her.

Feeling the edge of the bed sink under Finn's weight, Keag had tentatively lifted her face enough to allow her eyes to see what was going on; she had done so just in time to see and hear the crack of Finn's skull on the wood of the headboard. "Oucha," Keagan said softly, forgetting about her red face and lifting herself up off the bed slightly to move closer to the wall.
"That looked like it hurt l-...quite a bit." She gave him a concerned look as she sat more upright against the headboard between Finn and the wall. "It's hard for you to go just a couple hours without hurting yourself, isn't it?"

"Well, you know it's a gift really..." Finn started and then trailed off, rolling his eyes at himself. He wasn't usually this clumsy, but around Keagan...
It was like he couldn't even control himself anymore.
"I'm good," he told her, "It wasn't as hard as I've hit my head before. A little knock won't do anything." Finn could barely count the number of head injuries he'd had in his life. Many caused a few long-term problems, and almost all of them hurt a lot. This one however, not so bad.
Now that he looked at her again, Finn could see her pink cheeks. He wasn't sure as to why hers had gone like that too, but he wasn't about to ask. Instead, he slid down the headboard slightly so that he was half-lying, half-sitting. He patted his shoulder lightly, waiting for Keag to rest her head there again.
