SONG - Les by Childish Gambino

"No no, you put this string over that one." Y/N was teaching Harry how to play cat's cradle in the common room.

"Like this?" Harry asked uncertainly, gesturing to the string in his hands. He had managed to somehow tie his string into an elaborate knot for the fifth time.

Y/N laughed. "How do you manage to knot it every time?!"

Just then, Ron burst into the common room, with Hermione close behind.

"Guess what?" He said, practically jumping off the walls.

"Wha-"

"The first Hogsmeade trip! On Halloween!!! Can you believe it!" Ron cut Y/N off before she had the chance to finish.

The Hogsmeade trip?? Y/N thought. She had been waiting for this for such a long time. She thought of all the different shops she would be able to visit with her friends; Zonko's, Honeydukes.... Ron seemed to be thinking the same thing.

"Honeydukes..." He said, his eyes going slightly foggy and smiling. He was practically drooling. "The most famous sweet shop. I've been wanting to visit it for years!"

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Honestly, Ron, all you think about is eating!" She turned to Y/N and Harry. "You know, it's one of the oldest wizarding towns to exist! There's so much history everywhere! It's quite exciting."

Y/N noticed Harry looking down, fidgeting with his string. She remembered; Harry's Uncle hadn't signed his paper. She hated seeing him sad...she thought frantically of something, anything, to cheer him up.

"Harry, you could take the invisibility cloak or something." Y/N blurted.

Hermione gave her a disapproving look. "No he can't! First of all, you'd be breaking the rules. And before you respond," Hermione said, for Y/N had opened her mouth to retort. "Have you forgotten about Sirius Black?? The mass murderer out for Harry's life?!"

Y/N closed her mouth. She had indeed forgotten about that.

"Maybe you can ask McGonagall to sign it?" Ron suggested. "I know it's a long shot, but it's really the only option you've got."

Harry sighed and nodded. "Yeah, you're right. I doubt she'll do it, but I'll try anyway."

"Don't worry mate, we'll bring you loads of sweets!" Ron said optimistically.

The other three laughed.

"What??" Ron said.

"Honestly, Ron, all you can think of is food!" Y/N shook her head. "I don't blame you though.... Speaking of food, what do you think is for lunch?"

Y/N, Hermione, and Ron waited anxiously for Harry right outside the Transfiguration classroom. He had stayed back after class to ask Professor McGonagall about Hogsmeade.

The three scooted closer to the door, trying to hear what they were saying without looking suspicious.

"Muggles... Hogsmeade form.... Please..." They could hear snippets of the conversation.

"Afraid not Potter.... Rules.... Needs to be signed...."

"Please Professor...."

A few seconds later, Harry walked out, looking defeated. He shook his head at Ron and Y/N's hopeful looks. They sighed.

"Don't worry Harry, we'll find a way for you to come next time." Y/N said, looking determined.

Harry gave her a weak smile. "Yeah..."
