Chapter 60: Somethings never change

The week seemed to drag on and on, with every teacher lecturing us on how important our OWLs were and how it would impact our futures as it would dictate what subjects we could take for out final two years, therefore impacting out career choices. Although didn't really affect me because I was going to join the Avengers full time when I left Hogwarts, but that didn't mean I wanted to fail my exams.

But when Friday came around, I was glad that the last class of the day was double Care of Magical Creatures. I felt all the stress start to disappear as I walked down to Hagrid's hut with Cedric, Danny, and Zane. I always felt more relaxed when I was around animals and it clearly showed on my face from the way Danny was laughing at me. Ignoring his laughter, I linked my arms through his and Cedric's arms and started humming Something's Never Change before I started singing it quietly to myself.

"Yes, the wind blows a little bit colder
And we're all getting older
And the clouds are moving on with every autumn breeze
Peter Pumpkin just became fertilizer"

Smiling, Danny picked up where I left off and started singing Olaf part as he tried to imitate Josh Gad's voice.

"And my leaf's a little sadder and wiser"

Laughing at Danny's Olaf voice, I continued on signing Anna's part before Danny joined in again on the chorus. 

"That's why I rely on certain certainties
Yes, some things never change
Like the feel of your hand in mine
Some things stay the same"

"Like how we get along just fine"

"Like an old stone wall that'll never fall
Some things are always true
Some things never change
Like how I'm holding on tight to you"

"Okay, cute song. I know your Queen Elsa come to life. But please stop singing," Cassy called out, laughing, from the bottom of the hill where she was sitting with Fred, George and Lee.

"What are you doing here? You don't even take care of Magical. And for your information, that was Anna's part," I called out back to her.

"I have a free period and how the hell was I meant to know that you were singing Anna's part," Cassy laughed, rolling her eyes.

"Well, if you didn't disappear every time Lila wanted to watch the movie, you would know. That's why I'm Lila's favorite," I told her.

"The Rogers/Stark bantering at its finest," Danny laughed as Cassy glared at him.

"Wow, way to kill our bonding time, Odinson," Cassy said getting up from where she was sitting. "Now that the family bonding is over, I'm taking Lee and going to have some fun in the castle."

"Don't do anything that would make me take points off Gryffindor," I told her as she waved over her shoulder and pulled Lee back up to the castle.

"Do we want to know what they have planned?" Zane asked as we watched the two race each other back up to the castle.

"Let's just say if everything goes to plan, our dear Professor Snape will have a rosy outlook on life because of his new hairstyle," Fred told us with a Cheshire cat grin on his face.
