Me and Rae both dropped back into the leather sofas, our hands on our stomach."I'm so full", she groaned, rubbing her stomach.
"Me too", I burped, making us both laugh."Don't make me laugh it hurts!" She slapped my arm. "Sorry", I giggled.
I layed my head onto her shoulder. Looking around the room, it was about 9pm, curfew was at 10 at the weekends, first years started filling the room, taking up the tables. 2 boys were playing chess at one table, a boy and a girl sat a table, heads buried into a book, not speaking to eachother, other students were trying to turn a cup into a mouse but failed miserably.
A grin appeared on my face. "Want to mess with the first years?" I rose my head up, grinning at Rae, "what do you have in mind?" She raised her brows, grinning also.
I sat up straight, grabbing my wand from my pocket in my cloak, I did a little flick and flicked the pages back and forward on the book that the girl was reading. She slammed the table and looked around the room, trying to figure out who was doing it, we buried into each other trying not to let out our laughs.
"Wait wait let me try", Rae spoke as she composed herself. She took her wand from her cloak, she looked around the room, looking for a victim, she tapped her wand and the cup sat at the table turned into a mouse, "I did it!", the little boy screamed, again we buried into eachother, covering our mouths, barely able to breathe, tears streaming down our faces we were laughing that hard.
I started coughing uncontrollably trying to catch my breath.
"One more, one more", Rae waved to me.
I looked around, thinking of a spell, "rictumsempra", I whispered, a flicker of purple sparkles reached a boy just at the entrance of the tunnel.He began uncontrollably laughing, "stop it!" the boy shrieked, squeales coming from his mouth, he fell to the floor, rolling around laughing, "it tickles!" he screamed, the group of other first years gathered around him in a circle, laughing, some of the girls being concerned. "He's going to die help him!" a girl shouted through the crowd, which made me and Rae lose it.
We were slapping our legs and slapping each others arms as we couldn't help the laughter that came upon us. Unable to breathe, silence coming from our mouths at one point, our faces damp with tears. I grabbed the pillow beside me and shoved my face into it laughing away, not able to look anymore.
I lift my head up for air and saw Blaise, Crabbe, Goyle and Draco, at the entrance to the tunnel. Confused looks on all their faces as they looked down at the boy rolling around, Goyle began to laugh but quickly stopped when Crabbe elbowed him.
"Tickling charm? Really?" Blaise spoke looking over to me and Rae, taking out his wand and swirling it over the boy as he quickly stopped his laughing and ran to his dorm.
"You guys are such children", he rolled his eyes, the four of them walking into the corridor that lead to their dorms.
Me and Rae looked at each other as they left and began laughing again falling back into the sofa."I'm glad your here Lay", she cooed into my ear, as her head rested on my shoulders. "Me too", I smiled.
"I'm going to head to bed, are you coming?" She sat up of the sofa, stretching.
"Nah I'm not tired yet, I might take a walk" I shrugged.
"Its after curfew, just be careful and don't come back late!" She pointed a finger at me, trying to hide a smile. "Yes Mother", I got up off the sofa, slapping her hand away as I walked past her."Please don't do anything stupid", she begged, as I entered the tunnel, I looked back at her, I held up my pinky finger and she smiled, raising her pinky too.

The air was still. It was warm giving the time of the night. The moon was out, making it seem bright out still, owls flew around the night sky, free as can be. Oh to be an owl flying in the night I thought to myself, as I sat criss-crossed on the astronomy tower balcony.
The stars sparkled like they usually do, but I must admit, they will never compare to what they looked like the night I was with Draco, which felt like forever ago.
