Mosag Snape and the Sorcerer's Stone

Mail Day & Seekers

The next day Harry, Ron, myself, and Daisy walked into the Great Hall for homework. Ron was against the whole thing, on principle. I wasn't paying much attention to the conversation.

Daisy had grown into our weird group of friends. I don't know exactly how she managed to do that. Daisy was walking beside Harry. She had her arm over his shoulder, being the big spoon. She was an affectionate person. I was less so, but I still was at his side.

Harry didn't seem to mind.

Ron on the other hand, did.

"I can't believe you want me hanging out with girls." Ron grimaced in Daisy's direction. This was after we came back to Gryffindor Tower from the Owlery.

She didn't miss a beat. "I can't believe he wants me hanging out with a ginger." She sat down on the big red couch.

Ron frowned at her. Harry and I laughed.

Still, life went on at Hogwarts. There was a space big enough for us at the Gryffindor table. Harry and Ron sat together. Daisy had hopped over the table to get to her seat. She insisted I sit beside her. Hermione would have been on my other side. I rolled my eyes, but ended up crawling under the table to get between the two of them.

'Oh yeah. I'm a strong independant woman who takes orders from no one!'

At the end of it, the five of us got to doing our homework.

"Eye of rabbit, harp string hum. Turn this water, into rum." Seamus glanced into the cup. He didn't like what he saw, making an annoyed huff before trying again. "Eye of rabbit, harp string hum-"

"What's Seamus trying to do to that glass of water?" Harry asked us.

"Turn it into rum." Ron answered.

"We can do that?!" Daisy asked.

"McGonagall talked about the idea in class yesterday. Just the idea though, not how to actually do it." I glanced at Seamus. "Guess he read ahead."

"Actually managed a weak tea yesterday, before-"

*BOOM*

The whole room laughed. The Gryffindor table laughed loudest. Seamus was missing his eyebrows.

There was a lone owl call from overhead.

"Ah. Mail's here!" Ron cheered.

Dozens of owls flew in. I spotted my tawny flying with the flock.

Malaki stopped at my seat. There was no package in his claws. He cooed at me. Rolling my eyes at his antics, I slipped him some sunflower seeds.

Daisy was snickering beside me, until Malaki threw a seed at her head. It made me giggle to see the look on her face.

An owl dropped a newspaper by Ron. Hermione was still working on her homework, unperturbed by the noise. Daisy and Harry received nothing.

"Can I borrow this?" Harry reached for the copy of the Daily Prophet. Ron nodded at him. "Thanks."

Daisy leaned across the table. She tried to get a glance at the newspaper. "What's it say?"

Harry was still staring at the front page.

"Hey, look! Neville's got a Remembrall!" Dean shouted out to everyone.

"I've read about those." 'You've read about everything.' "When the smoke turns red." The little ball did so. "It means you've forgotten something." Hermione explained.

Daisy and I looked at the red filled ball. "The only problem is, I can't remember what I've forgotten." Neville admitted.

Daisy gave him a thumb's-up, with her best confident smile. "No worries. It'll come 'round to ya later." She assured. "Right Moss?"
