Y/N pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose and walked into the common room. After spending two nights in the hospital wing Y/N was grateful to be back in her common room.

'Y/N!'

Y/N looked up to see Mary running towards her.

'I'm so so sorry, I couldn't visit, I feel terrible, I only found out yesterday and by then I already had-'

'Mary! It's okay, I'm fine.' she smiled.

'No, I should have been there, I'm so sorry-'

'You're fine, breathe. It's alright.' she reassured her.

Mary smiled in relief and then furrowed her brow, 'Hang on, when did you get glasses?'

Y/N groaned, 'Oh they look terrible don't they? It's only for a week.'

'Terrible?' Marlene walked out, her ponytail slightly lopsided, 'You look so cute.'

'Thanks Marls.' Y/N said, though she still looked miserable.

Dorcas came down the stairs where Marlene was a moment ago, 'She's back!'

'Hey Dorcas!'

Dorcas smiled, 'Hey. Your glasses are nice.'

Y/N smiled but still seemed worried, 'Thanks, sugar. Well, I'm going to-'

'Y/N!'

She turned around to see Thomas walking through the portrait hole.

'Oh, hey-' she started.

He put his hands on her shoulders and looked at her, his brow furrowed.

'Oh my god, are you okay? I noticed you weren't here but I didn't know why, are you okay? Are you hurt?' he rushed, all concerned.

She couldn't help but feel warm that he was worried about her and had noticed she was missing, 'I'm fine, I just had a small accident with a fire spell-'

'A small accident??' Marlene said, incredulously, her blonde hair whipping around, 'You went blind, you couldn't walk!'

'w h a t,' Thomas seethed and turned on her, 'Are you okay now?? How did this even- How does one- Are you going to be okay to play next week??'

Y/N's heart sank. Quidditch. It was just quidditch.

'Yeah, I should be uh, fine.' she laughed awkwardly at the floor.

'Hey, I'm glad you're okay,' he smiled softly and went to leave but turned around and hesitated, 'You look... Cute in those glasses.'

He left and the room was silent for two seconds before it exploded with yells of excitement.

'Oh my god!!!' Mary squealed, 'He's so into you, he is so into you!!'

'He was just interested in quidditch, Mary, that's all.' Y/N said, trying to keep her hopes down.

Dorcas scoffed, 'Obviously that was just a cover up- he didn't exactly sound like he was talking about quidditch when he was checking up on you.'

'It was nothing, he was just being friendly.' Y/N mumbled.

'He literally called you cute-' Marlene said.

'Well, that doesn't technically mean anything.' Y/N said.

'True, Marlene says Dorcas looks cute all the time and they're just friends.' Mary said.

'Yeah, haha.' Marlene laughed awkwardly, looking at her feet.

'All I'm saying is that he is into you and... I think you're into him.' Dorcas said, knowingly.

'No I'm not! I think... okay, maybe a little.'

The girls exploded into squeals.

'You have to ask him out, you have to!!' Mary said excitedly.

'Oh I don't know, what if he says no?'

'Then he says no, that's the worst that can happen, a little word with two letters isn't going to stop you, right?' Marlene said.

'No, I guess not, maybe, oh wait! I can't! He has to ask me.' she groaned.

'Oh come on, that's so old-fashioned, no one cares.' Dorcas rolled her eyes.

'Not that, for the bet.' she explained.

'Elaborate?'

'You know? The bet that Thomas would ask me out by the end of the week?'

'Ohhhhh,' Marlene said, 'That should be easy, just hint that you like him.'

'I will.'

Marlene raised an eyebrow.

'I will!' she said indignantly, 'Next time I see him. Maybe.'

Marlene rolled her eyes.

'What's Y/N saying she'll do that she won't actually do this time?' Remus said, walking down the stairs, 'Also you still need to help me with my Defence Against the Dark Arts homework.'

'Oh yes I'll do that, just let me get my quill-'

'Not now!' Dorcas interjected.

'Why not?' Y/N frowned.

'Oh my- I just realised! This'll be your first trip to Hogsmeade! Oh we have to show you Honeydukes and Zonko's, the Three Broomsticks-' Dorcas started.

'-The Hog's Head, Darcy's, S. Starling also expanded their store to Hogsmeade, did you know that?' Marlene continued.

'I don't know what any of these are to be honest.' Y/N replied.

'Oh we're going to have the greatest time!' Mary said excitedly, 'Let's go get the others, we can leave at 10, right?'

'DId you hear the new rules that you have to at least be in third year to go?' Dorcas said.

Marlene snorted, 'They actually did that? They've been trying to pass that as a rule since, you know, the incident with Sirius and James.'

'Hm? What incident?'

'They got their hands on 16 packs of Dr. Filibusters, I think that says it all.'

The girls grimaced and started to get ready.

Lily, who had come down just a moment earlier, walked up the staircase to the guys dormitory and hollered, 'We're going to Hogsmeade, hurry up!'

'Is Y/N back?!' someone yelled back.

'Yeah! Now get a move on!'

Lily turned around and there was silence.

'...what.'

'I didn't know you could be that loud.' Dorcas said.

'Well,' Lily smiled, cheekily, 'I'm a woman of many secrets.'
