I walked into the common room and sat down beside Ron, Hermione and Harry in the couch.

Hermione and Ron turned to me in surprise.

"Flo?" Hermione asked. "What's up? What're you doing here?"

"I have something to tell you all." I said slowly. I looked at Harry, and he gave me a nod of encouragement.

This was our plan.

"Yeah?" Ron asked.

"I'm coming back."

"Really?!" Hermione gasped excitedly. "You're back?!"

Ron jumped up. "I swear to merlin Florence if you're joking right now Im gonna-"

"I'm not joking! I'm coming back." I laughed.

Hermione squealed and pulled the four of us into a giant hug.

"The gangs back together." Harry grinned as we pulled away and sat back down.

"What made you come back?" Ron asked.

"I'm done, Ron. I'm done letting other people control my life." I said. "It's my life and Ill live it how I want."

Hermione nodded. "I'm so happy you're back. I was going mad with these two."

"Watch it." Ron said.

Hermione and Ron were still ecstatic for my return. On the way to Hagrid's, they caught me up on everything I had missed, apparently it was a lot.

I caught them up on my life too, apart from what happened last night with Harry. We decided not to tell anyone we kissed because we don't want Hermione and Ron thinking I just came back for Harry. Because I didn't. I came back because I'm done letting other people control my life.

"Now I remember when I first met you all. Biggest bunch of misfits I ever set eyes on. Suppose you remind me of meself a little. And here we all are, four years later plus Florence!"

"We're still a bunch of misfits." Ron laughed.

"Well maybe, but we've all got each other." Hagrid said sweetly.

We were all walking together with Hagrid through the Forbidden Forest taking Fang for a walk. It was peaceful. I felt complete being with my friends again.  I didn't realise how much I had missed them until I was with them again.

"This is like a little secret place." I said as we walked under a canopy of small flowery trees.

"Who knew the forbidden forrest could be so pretty." Hermione agreed.

Then Hermione, Ron, and Hagrid began chatting.

Harry leaned over to me and whispered. "You're my favourite secret."

I nudged him and smiled nervously. "Behave Potter."

He grinned. "I'll try. You make it hard, you know."

I widened my eyes. "Sh."

He laughed as we all continued walking.

After a while Harry had walked ahead. He looked as though he was deep in thought. I decided to give him some space, and let him think. That's what I would've wanted.

"Oh and Harry of course. Soon to be the youngest Triwizard champion there's ever been! Hooray!" Hagrid continued his big speech to us all.

We broke into fits of laughter as Hagrid and Ron started singing our school song.
