It's the last week at Hogwarts. The teachers have stopped giving us homework. Fifth years have finished their exams. The air is warm outside. But we stay inside planning out what we're going to do this summer.
"We can always go to a little creek near our house and hang out there," Rookwood says.
"Or we could go to the little forest nearby and go to our treehouse. I don't think we've been there in a while. It could be our clubhouse." I say.
"Yes let's do that. We can go to the creek too and fill up jugs with it and take it back to the treehouse. We can purify the water." Says Lily balancing both of our opinions.
"Ok, that will work," Remus says and then scribbles something down on paper.
We all retreat for the night. Lily and I climb into our beds and slowly fall asleep. In the morning we wake up bright and early. We get ready for the day and then rush to the boy's dormitories.
"Good Morning!" Lily and I say as we enter. The boys are all still in bed. We open the curtains and pull off everyone's covers.
"I don't want to get up. I'm too sleepy." Sirius says moaning into his pillow.
"But you have to Sirius. We'll be late for breakfast." I tell him shaking his shoulders as hard as I can. "Please get up Sirius."
"Fine. I'll get up." He says and slowly sits up. He rubs the sleep out of his eyes and yawns. I go over to Rookwood's bed and pull his feet into the cold air. He tries to pull his feet back under the covers but I keep a good grip on them. I pick up a feather off the ground who I assume is Tony's and start to tickle his feet. He jumps and gets up.
Soon everyone's up and ready so we go down to the Great Hall. We all fill our plates with food and start to eat. People trickle in and out of the Great Hall. All the teachers talk with each other and occasionally look out at the sea of students.
"Autumn and I will be turning seventeen in a few weeks," Rookwood says.
"Ohhh.... We need to do something for your birthday" Lily says.
"It's ok. We don't need anything." I say feeling embarrassed. I don't like to ask for stuff.
"You probably don't want to but we're going to," Lily says smiling. "I think I know what I'm going to get you."
"Please Lily, you don't have to get me anything. Neither of you does. But we do have a tradition where Rookwood and I play a game of Quidditch in front of everyone and then the winner gets a gift from the person who lost." I say. I've won three years in a row.
"That sounds fun," James says.
"It is when you haven't been beaten three years straight," Rookwood says. "I'm going to beat you this year. Mark my words."
"Not a chance," I tell him smiling.
