Ikigai - a hp fan fiction

I have an idea.

I was in a field, surrounded by fog and flowers. I looked up. There were millions of bright, shining stars. Breathing in the fresh air, I felt myself smile. A genuine smile.

Then there was music. A voice. The music sounded familiar, but I can't remember where I'd heard it before. The voice was saying something.

"Valerie." It sang.

"Valerie, wake up." This was more of a command.

"Valerie WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR BREAKFAST!"

My eyes fluttered open.

"Huh?"

"Valerie, come onnnnn. I want to get down there before all the boxties are gone!!"

"How'd I get back here?" I look to my side to see Roxanne shaking me awake with Katie and Lavender sitting on her bed.

"I dunno, I fell asleep before you got back, now can we go? I'm starving!!"

"Uh, yea, sure. What time is it?"

"6:30. Now, let's go!"

"What? 6:30? Nobody even gets up until 7:30! Classes don't start until 9!"

"And? We need to be punctual. Show the professors that we care about our schooling and we are responsible."

I look across my room to see Hermione still asleep in bed.

"See! Hermione's not even awake. Can I please go back to sleep?"

"No. Get up, we need to go."

"Ughhhhhh."

Fifteen minutes later I fell asleep on an empty plate with Roxy to my right, and my other two best friends across from me.

"There's only like three other people here. Why did we have to get up so early?" Katie asked.

"I told you! So the professors know- er think, in Valerie's case, that we're responsible."

"Hey!" I smacked Roxy on the arm.

"Ow! I didn't lie!"

"I guess not.. but I could still be asleep right now. That's your fault."

"It's not my fault you were out so late!" She gave me a look. Her expression changed to a quizzical look then, "why were you out so late?"

Then I told them, I told them about how I ran into Fred in the common room and we talked, then ended up going to the kitchens together and talked for a while, and then we ended up going out by the Great Lake and watching the stars, and how I think I fell asleep out there, but I'm not sure how I got back to our room.

"Oh." Was all Roxy said.

I then looked up and spotted two familiar redheads sauntering into the Great Hall. They both looked around and I locked eyes with one of them. He turned to his brother and pointed at me.

Fred made his way toward me and sat on my left, George on his other side. He stared at me and smiled then,

"I have an idea."

I raised my eyebrows, "what's your idea, Giddy?"

His smile only widened at that. "You tell me your middle name."

"I already told you I'm not telling you my middle name."

"Why not? It's only fair, you know mine."

"And?"

"And what?"

"What am I getting out of this?"

"A new nickname, obviously. And, I won't be mad at you anymore."
