*Time skip to Friday at 8:48 A.M.*

"Alright kiddo, I am dropping you off here. Go have fun with your friends and we will meet you at lunchtime. I promised Nadia I would take her to Divinity Vales Salon down the street from Ollivanders wand shop"- Anna.

"Oh okay, well I don't see anyone yet. Do you mind if you stay here until one of them shows up? This place isn't safe even if I am an adult now" You ask hesitantly.

BAAP! You hear someone shout as they come up from behind you and smack your ass. You stand still in shock and freeze up looking behind you precariously. What the heck? 

"Oh Xana, it's you! I didn't expect you to come up from behind me and smack my butt* You say laughing. " You've never really done that before except maybe once, and that was a year ago". You hug Xana and turn your body towards your sister. "Nevermind, you can go", you say as you wrap your arm around Xana's shoulders,  and rush her into Flourish and Botts as she does the same to you. Inside you see Nik already there with a textbook in his hand looking around. He stops when he sees you and rushes over to give you a squishing hug.

Ooommph, Nik! Haha, You laugh. 

"Come on, let's hurry up and get our textbooks so we can get ice cream already, I wanna give you your present!-Nik, he shakes a bag at you.

"Okay, okay, chill wonderboy"-Xana.

Grinning, you and Xana pull out your sheets to look at the textbook's name and author. 

"I know we somewhat talked about it last year, but since our OWL's came in, what are your guys' schedules like? Let me see them- Y/N. They hand you their papers so you can compare them to yours. You hand them yours as well, it states DADA, Potions,  Care of Magical Creatures, Charms, Herbology, and Flying.

Xana's paper shows DADA, Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, Charms, Transfiguration, Herbology, Astronomy, and Music. I wouldn't have figured she would want to take two extra classes, but then I remembered she has to because she is a year behind us and hasn't taken her OWL's yet. Nik's schedule shows DADA, Care of Magical Creatures, Potions, Herbology, Charms, and Music. They have the same schedule practically.                                                                             "Looks like we are in all the same classes almost. Except I decided not to take Transfiguration this year. Nik are you not gonna play quidditch anymore? you say shocked and hurt. "Flying class isn't on your list. You've switched back to the band. Why didn't you tell me before when I texted you back?". 

Nik cringes at you as he was nervous about this upcoming conversation. He scratches his head in hesitation and anxiety.

"I'm sorry Y/N. I miss playing trumpet and I only stopped because I liked quidditch. But without a proper coach, I don't want to miss out on other things and be stuck with something that will potentially suck. I hope you understand" He says sadly.

"Well yeah, I get it, but even if we have a horrible coach, we could teach the team ourselves. It's not like we have a main coach, it's just the teacher for the class. Plus I've never judged you, so if you would rather play in the band, you could just say that"- Y/N

"Yeah, I'm sorry, I was just worried about disappointing you"-Nikolas

"At least you and Xana can hang out more then", you say grinning trying to diffuse the situation even though it bums you out. I definitely miss it when we were in a band and choir together.

*Yeah, and we will all still celebrate your win when the match ends just like we always do, together*- Xana

*DING* You pick up your phone.
