It was your first years in hogwarts. You were placed in Gryffindor, so while getting comfortable in your house, you made friends with Hermione. You were always shy around others but most of the first years were. You looked up to the older ones, seei...
Late September had arrived sooner than expected. Things were back to normal. Our routines were back in place and homework weighed heavily on us. It was just the beginning of the year. This meant we had to take account into our work. But lucky for me, my birthday was near. This was the distraction I needed. The distraction I deserved. I hoped to go into hogsmeade and hang out with a few friends. I didn't expect much, but since I couldn't go home, I wanted to make it special. I was turning 15 and I was determined to not let anything stand in my way.
As I woke up, Hermione had balloons placed around the dorms with brownies on a tray. I wasn't much of a cupcake girl, to be honest. "Hermione! You shouldn't have" I squealed. She giggled, "oh y/n. Don't be so humble, you deserved something special. Plus I've been meaning for something fun lately, it's been rather dull around here". She was right. Other than games and weekends, it was busy work during the week. "Those smell amazing!" I said. A few other girls stepped over and wished me a good birthday. We chatted and ate some brownies. Even though it was the morning, brownies are made for every occasion.
This was just the beginning. My birthday landed on a Saturday, this meant I had the perfect chance to go out. After a while, I took a shower and got ready for the day. I made my hair into a braid for the evening, but eventually I would change it to go into town.

When I walked down into the hall, I could see harry and Ron already talking with the others. "Hey guys!" I yelled. They looked over and smiled. "Happy birthday y/n" said Ron and Harry. Everyone was very lovely. George moved down the table to wish me a happy birthday. I thought it was nice of him. "So what's the plan for today?" Asked Ron. Hermione gave him a death stare. "Seriously? I told you already" she sighed. I couldn't help but laugh a little. "Where are you thinking of heading?" Asked Harry. I had to think about it. "I'm not quite sure. I don't know many places in hogsmeade" I said.
Hermione pulled out her notebook with a list of places. "I read about these and got second input from a few friends. I have choices if you can't decide" she said. "You have f-friends?" Asked Ron. She rolled her eyes, "pf-yes. I have others I hang out with, just not when I'm around you". I grabbed her notebook to check out the names, "these look interesting, thank you Hermione. We can check these out later, say 7:00?" I said. They nodded and we continued our conversations.
