The twins, Harry, Ron, Hermione, me and the rest of the Gryffindor's that stayed during christmas ran out in the courtyard to shoot up the twins's firework. Dumbledore had told us not to shoot it up on our own. He said that only the teachers were allowed to shoot it up.

«C'mon!»

«Before Dumbledore catches us!»

We reached the courtyard and the twins put the firework on the ground in front of us.
They lighted it up and ran back to us to see it.

It was a beautiful view, but it lasted way to long. We unfortunatley got caught.

Filch came running towards us, cursing.

«Calm down Argus!» Dumbledore came running to the courtyard to stop Filch from murdering us.

«No! They woke up Ms Norris! Brats...» He said angrily.

«Detention first day back at school»Dumbledore punished us. He looked at his watch. «It's only 23:53. Let's do it again in 7 minutes» He said with a happy smile.

We all stood there waiting for the clock to strike twelve. «Are you cold?» George asked looking at me.

«No are you?» I asked.

«Yes» He said. «Can I have that?» He said and pointed to my scarf.

«Sure» I chuckled. I handed him the scarf and he wrapped it around his neck. «Better?» I asked smiling.

«Not really» He smirked.

«Then hand it back»

«No» He said.

When he said no I took each end of the scarf and pulled both ends. «Don't strengle me!» He said trying to losen it up.

«Then be greatful» He got a slapp in the backhead. «You don't desserve my kindness» I said smirking at him.

«Stop flirting... We're standing right here» Ron said looking at us with a disgusted look.

«We're not flirting!» George and I said at the same time. Honestly Ronald...

«10! 9! 8!» We heard Dumbledore shout. All the other students who had stayed from the other houses were now out here to shouting numbers with Dumbledore.

«We should kiss» Fred turned to me and said.

«7...6...»

«Thats just weird» I answered, furrowing my eyebrows at him.

«5...»

«Then kiss George!»

«4...»

«Absolutley not» I shrugged.

«3...2..»

«Please»

«1...»

As they shouted 1, I leaned towards George and kissed him on the cheek.

«HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!» Everyone shouted at once.

«Happy Fred?» I asked, looking him in the eyes.

«Not really. It wasn't nearly good enough» He scoffed. I just rolled my eyes at him.

George didn't say anything. He just looked up at the fireworks in the sky.

«Huh. You wrote your names in it» I said looking up at the sky.

«Of course we did» Fred said looking up at the sky. «Just a shame that Dumbledore was the one who got to set it off...»

I looked over to where the Professors were standing and saw that Lupin was on his way over here. «Happy New year» He said and went in for a hug.

«Happy New year» I said back and hugged him back. This was nice I thought. He pulled away and said happy New year to the others before he went inside.

We walked back to our common room after getting yelled at by Snape.
«He's going to die of boredom» Fred said.

We walked inside the common room and said good night to each other. I didn't want to go up to my room. It felt like someone was watching me. And there probably was one too.
I lied down at the couch and put a blanket around me. «Aren't you going to bed?» George asked me.

«I'm gonna sleep here tonight» I answered.

«Why?» Fred asked walking over to the couch.

«It's better air down here» I said. A very bad lie.

«Just open your window?» Fred suggested confused.

«Oh yeah... I forgot that» I muttered and walked towards the stairs. «Goodnight» I said and walked up to my dorm room to find Hermione standing in front of my door. «Hermione? What are you doing here?»

«I thought that we could have a sleepover» She said in an excited voice.

Oh thank Godric I didn't have to be watched alone. «Sure» I said and smiled.

We walked into my room and closed the door.
I pointed at my bed. «You can have my bed and I can take Regina's» I said and moved my stuff off my bed.

«Thank you» She smiled and sat down on my bed. I muttered a spell that cleaned up my bed.

Hermione looked from the box I had gotten from Lupin and to me. «Can I ask what you got?» She asked.

«He knew my father. There is a necklace and galleons I was supposed to have when he....died» I told her.

«I'm sorry for your loss» She nervously appologized with regret for asking in her voice.

«It's ok... I found out that he wasn't this great person I had imagined» I said with a sad smile.

«I'm sorry for that too»

«It's not your fault that he killed someone...» I muttered looking out the window.

I looked outside the window to see to see two yellow eyes look up to me. We held eyecontact for a second before the eyes disapeard.
«What are you looking at?» Hermione asked and walked over to the window to look out.

«Someone's watching me» I blurted out still looking out the window.

«What? Are you sure?» She asked looking uncomfortable.

«What did I say?» I turned to look er in the eyes.

«You said someone's watching you»

«Aha. I did..» I said. «No point in lying now. Yes I'm sure. And I know who's watching» I said walking over to the box from Lupin. I opned it and took out the necklace. I put it around my neck and walked towards the door. I put on my jacket and opned the door.

«Where are you going?» Hermione asked worried.

«I'm just gonna talk to someone. Go to your dorm room and I will be back in 1 hour» I said and walked out the door. «Oh and I almost forgot. Don't tell anyone» I said and walked down the stairs.
