For the third night in row, the Gryffindor common room was comfortably silent. Silent to the point where you swore you'd hear a pin hit the ground if someone were to drop one. Silent to the point where you could hear the snoring of the first years who decided to go to bed early, tucked under their blankets in their faraway dorms.

You finally had the room to yourself, quite surprisingly, so you decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to lie back on the couch and continue the book you had started on the train just a few days ago. You hadn't found much time recently to dive into it much lately, so this right here could be the perfect chance to do so.

Well, would have been the perfect chance.

The serenity was cut short when the portrait hole swung open and two familiar faces came tiptoeing in.

"Shush, Angie," Katie Bell put her finger to her mouth, silencing the friend that was currently accompanying her. Angelina Johnson covered her mouth with her hand to stifle her laughter as she leaned against the stone wall, struggling to breathe through her amusement.

"Oh, hey Y/N!" Katie greeted nonchalantly, walking over to the couch and sitting down heavily, the action causing you to bounce up slightly on the tattered old cushion.

"Hey," you replied quietly, suddenly feeling a little down. You liked your friends a great deal, but you really were looking for some alone time. It didn't help that they seemed to be so riled up at the moment — something that told you the peace and quiet was now long gone.

Angelina, still giggling, sat on the chair across from you guys, "Sorry for the ruckus. Filch caught me and Jeremy in the halls. Katie came to save me."

You let out a small nod, "What were you and Jeremy doing?"

"Snogging, of course," Katie scoffed, untying her ponytail and leaning back against the couch to make herself comfortable.

You let out a small laugh, trying to keep the conversation to a minimum. If they noticed you weren't in the mood, maybe they'd head up to their dorms and give you some space. It was more of a wish, really, but having it come true would be greatly appreciated.

You had only been friends with the girls for a few days now — you met them on the train coming into Hogwarts — but you already got along effortlessly. You've known who they are for a few years now, being a big fan of the Quidditch games and all, so you were surprised that it had only taken you five years before actually speaking to them. But when the three of them barged into your empty compartment on September first, the friendship bloomed, as dramatic and cliche as that sounds.

"You can't judge!" Angelina leaned forward on her seat, pointing at Katie, "Who was it that I caught flirting with Oliver Wood last week, huh?"

Katie's mouth dropped and her cheeks turned bright red, "How did you know about that?"
