"Do you want to go to the Shrieking Shack?" Alex asked
"What the fuck is that? It sounds like I could make an innuendo out of that, and for that reason, sure." Adam replied.
They made their way out of central Hogsmeade, up the slight hill to the Shrieking Shack, as Alex explained what it was.
"It used to be thought to be the most haunted house in Britain" Alex said.
"You said that. Twice." Adam chuckled
"Anyway, they realised it was just a student who was a werewolf. He came back to work at Hogwarts, but died during the 2nd Wizarding War. You know Teddy Lupin?"
"The one in the year above? Able to change his appearance at will? Yeah"
"It's his son."
"Ah. Do you feel like the war could happen again?"
Alex turned to stare at Adam, who was surveying the Shrieking Shack intently.
"No. We learnt our lesson after that tragedy. We're still recovering. Why?"
"I'm not sure. Feel like it could happen, y'know?"
Alex mumbled in reply.

The Three Broomsticks was bustling full of people, but the Flalex squad had managed to find a quiet corner. Ibby was carrying a new plant that she had bought and was babbling on about it. Denise, Nicholette and Daisy were discussing and trading their chocolate frog cards. Chloe was frantically searching for WiFi to check Twitter. Jacks was getting everyone's drinks at the bar. Poppy, Suave Adam, Alex and Adam were nowhere to be seen.
"Here we are - 2 Butterbeers, 1 Exploding Lemonade, 1 Gillywater and 2 Pumpkin Juices" Jacks listed, placing the glasses in front of everyone. Ibby paused in her lecture of plants to drink.
"Where do you think the rest of them are?" She asked, everyone shrugged.
"All we can do is wait for them" Jacks said
"I could message them asking...If I could actually get WiFi!" Chloe shrieked, waving her phone around.
15 minutes later, and the rest of them had wandered in the door, all laughing, except Adam, who was looking sheepish. Nicholette noticed them, and immediately waved them over.
"What were you laughing about?" Daisy asked
"Tell them!" Poppy laughed, tapping Adam on the shoulder and pointed to the rest of the group. He refused.
"He - he thinks there could be another Wizarding War!" Poppy wheezed
"Poppeh! I told you not to tell them!" Adam whined
"It's pretty funny though, you gotta admit" Suave Adam added
"It could never happen though" Denise stated.
