Me, Havana and Anna woke up bright and early the next morning and got dressed. I put on a white top, red skirt and my Gryffindor hoodie and went to brush my teeth.
"Where're you guys going?" Molly Smith said, waking up bleary eyed.
"Down to the bridge," Anna whispered back.
"It's 6 o'clock!" Mackayla May complained.
"Exactly, go back to sleep!" Havana whispered and they fell back.
"Sorry for waking you!" I whisper-laughed to Molly, my other best friend.
"Shall we go?" I said, putting my hair up into a ponytail and grabbing my extensions, shoving them into my bag.
"Come on then," Havana said, excitedly and we ran down the stairs to meet the boys.

"Hey," we all said and made our way out of the common room and then down the moving staircases into the great hall. We rushed outside before anyone could see us, all the way down to the bridge.

"You guys got the pen knives?" I asked fred and george

"You guys got the pen knives?" I asked fred and george.
"Yep," they replied and handed them out.
You see each year, me and the rest of the power six made it an annual tradition to write our wish for the year on a piece of paper and drop it into the lake and then scratch our initials on the posts holding up the bridge. We then do a childish thing, like one year we sat on the grass and played down in the jungle (the hand clapping game). Oh and one year, we played tag and another we played duck, duck, goose and then once we played hide and seek, extreme; I ended up in the lake that year. Like I said, we're childish and I don't think it will ever change.
I have no idea who came up with it but we've been doing it for the past 5 years. I scratched H.H on the post and fred scratched F.W next to mine.

"Got the paper, Havana?" Lee asked and she emptied the pens and paper onto the grassy bank.
I took a scrap of paper and lay down on my front, in the grass. Lee came beside me and Havana sat on my other side.
I was thinking about it for a while and then wrote: move on.
"What did you write?" Fred asked coming over, his own piece of paper in his hand.
"Move on, I need to get over silly things like pussy and my dad and stuff like that, maybe a get a boyfriend," I shrugged and we laughed.
"You do," he smirked. Godric that smirk. Wait. I didn't have feelings for fred, did I? I snapped out of my thought.
"Well what about you?" I asked, indicating to the piece of paper in his hand.
"That," he said and pointed to AHOOAD.
"And that stands for...what?" I laughed, "arse hole oral open airy date?" I snorted, thinking off the top of my head.
"What?!" George said, coming over towards us, "who's doing what?" He spluttered.
"Wrong timing, mate," fred laughed and threw his paper in the water, "and that's not what it stands for," he tapped his nose, making me know it was a secret.
"Whatever," I scoffed and flew my sheet of paper into the lake, after I had turned it into a paper aeroplane.

Once everyone had thrown their goals into the lake, we stood back and held hands. Now being the weirdos we are, we decided to summon the giant squid, instead of playing a game.
"We summon thee gianto squido," we chanted. Nothing. Absolutely nothing happened and we burst out laughing.
"We're.... so.... stupid!" Havana screamed, through laughs, which caused us to laugh even more.
"We've got to go!" Anna suddenly shouted, "we've got ten minutes to get out timetables!" And so we panicked and sprinted as fast as we could.
"Havana, catch!" I shouted and threw her cloak. "Here, Anna!" I threw her cloak as well and I fastened my own around my neck. 
"I've forgotten mine!" Fred groaned.
"Well you can't run up there in 5 minutes and you're not allowed to wear your normal clothes," Havana complained.
"Ohh you're right!," fred rolled his eyes, "it's fine!" Fred said and suddenly pulled his top off, "there, boom, they can't tell me off for what's not there!" Mine, Havana and Anna's eyes widened but the other girls only widened their eyes because they were shocked he would do that. But damnnn. Damn, damn, damn!" Fuck! He was so hot! Quidditch really paid off. The boys just sniggered. Oh gosh they were lucky, they got to see him everyday and night and oh my gosh! I liked him! I liked fred! Oh! Oh!
"Earth to Harper, you're drooling!" George laughed, waving his hand in my face.
"No I'm not!" I accused and pushed him. "Why don't you guys grab our timetables, I can't be bothered to go to first class anyway," I shrugged, "and my braids aren't in." I laughed.
"Oh, no! We can't have anyone seeing bland Harper!" Lee snorted, sarcastically.
"No we can't," I said, seriously and the others laughed.
"You can't have that attitude everyday," Havana rolled her eyes.
"I won't," I promised her, "meet us by the tree and we can go to second period together." I said.
"Fine," she huffed and they all walked off to the great hall.
