"Finally.." Mattheo spoke out of relief, upon seeing the entrance of Hogsmeade. Flurries of different House robes were seen in groups in the crowd. The sky was in semi-light blue hues, with tints of orange and pink. It was a pretty sight, to say the least. Mattheo and Theo were arguing to which store they'd go to first since it's been so long since they visited.

The rest were debating whether or not to go in separate groups since they all had different ideas. "Draco, can you please come with me to J. Pippin's Potions?" Mattheo begged, with the blonde boy rolling his eyes. "And why is it a need that I come?" He questioned.

"Because the owner favors you for some reason. Please? Pretty please?" Draco rolled his eyes, crossing his arms. His tongue seemed to poke out in his cheek out of annoyance due to his begging. "Fine. Let's go," with this, Mattheo shouted happily and the two made their way there.

Blaise decided to go alone on his own quietly, but no one cared enough to protest because he was always on his own anyway.

It was just the seven of us left, and we all stood there awkwardly figuring out what to do.

Before I was about to speak, Evan and Barty dragged Pansy with them as she protested and shouted, while Theo shrugged and dragged Lorenzo with him. I could've sworn that Evan threw Regulus a smirk and a wink, but I didn't think too much of it. Soon enough, it was just Regulus and I, and we stood there even more awkwardly.

"Uhh-"

He tsk'ed before setting off on his own, "Wait, where are you going?!"

Regulus and I walked around the small village silently next to eachother, taking in the scenery of the shops. All the shops did look interesting, but in the moment, my mind could only think about the close intimacy we had right now. It was kind of silly, because Pansy originally planned to go costume shopping with me, but that's changed.

The entirety of the group also planned to buy stuff for the Halloween party. Everyone was assigned different things to buy shortly after we split off into groups, but perhaps that can wait later.

I kept sneaking glances toward the boy next to me, and he seemed to stuck in thought. I nudged his arm trying to get his attention, but it failed considering he didn't pay attention. "Hello, anyone in there?" I poked his side, with him blinking and giving me a stare. "What?"

"You look like a corpse," I giggled, putting my hands in my pockets, seeking to warm them up. He gave me a side glance and I was able to see it through my peripheral vision. "Don't even get me started on you, Y/N."

"Wait, what do you mean by that-"

He covered his mouth with the back of his hand, I could see a small smile forming though, and he tried to conceal it. The two of us walked in silence, until we walked passed a costume store. "Wait, come with me!" I grabbed his hand and dragged him inside, with him yelling protests.

As we walked inside, it was filled to the brim with Halloween costumes as well as fake props. Students from different houses were running around, yelling mixed with laughing, and anything you'd see in a costume store, really.

The two of us walked around, pointing out stupid stuff and making fun of the lower years who were acting cringe. There was a point where we mocked a couple who was showing way too much PDA for my liking.
