Y/n's POV

⋅•☆────✧.·☽✦☾·.✧────☆•⋅

It was finally free period so Harry and Ron were in the common room playing some Wizard's Chess. Hermione was in the library researching Nicholas Flamel while I was on my way to the Owlery to send a few letters with Stark accompanying me.

Harry let's me borrow Hedwig sometimes in sending letters since Ezra was technically dad's owl but he sometimes lets me borrow him too.

"Hey Hedwig, can you please send this to mum and Louis" I said as I handed the letters to the owl. She took the letter in her beak and flew away.

I heard a small meow come from below me. I looked down to see that Stark wanted to be carried so I did and now he and I were on our way back to the castle.

Once we arrived back at the castle I decided to go to the courtyard to read before my next period. I found a tree and sat down with Stark on my lap getting comfortable so he could nap.

I felt something poking my back so when I reached from behind me, I pulled out a grey journal with the letters F and W on it. I opened the first page to see "Property of Fred Weasley, please return or else you will be severely pranked to the next decade," written on it. I shook my head and laughed then placed it in my pouch to return to him later after class or when I bump into him.

I pulled out a copy of one of Agatha Christie's mystery books and began reading. Something about her books really caught my interest. The big plot twist at the end of every story that one would never even suspect was one of the things I loved about mysteries.

Half way through the free period I heard a group of boys entering the courtyard.

"Are you absolutely sure that you left your journal here?" A familiar voice asked.

I looked behind the tree to see Lee, George and Fred looking around the courtyard as if looking for something.

"Yes I am absolutely sure." Fred replied.

I gently lifted Stark off my lap and placed him on the ground. I got out from behind the tree and towards the trio. "What are you three looking for?" I asked. They seemed a bit surprised by my presence but calmed down when they saw it was me.

"Oh hey Y/n, we're looking for a gray journal with the initials F.W on it. Have you seen it?" Fred said.

"Uh yeah, here." I said as I pulled out the journal and handed it to him.

"Thanks...Did you re-"

I cut him off. "No, I did not read what was in it. Only the first page to see who owned it."

"Is it-"

"No, I did not put any spells or jinxs on it."

This made him let out a sigh of relief. "Thank merlin."

"Wait, aren't you three supposed to be in class right now?" I said, feeling something brush against my leg. Apparently Stark woke up from his nap.

"We could ask you the same." Lee said.

"It's my free period, you three don't have a free period till after two periods." I said as I picked up Stark.

"How do you know our schedules?" George asked.

"Cause Fred showed me his timetable one time and told me he has all the classes with you two meaning the same exact timetables." I said as I took a seat back under the tree.
