The first hogsmeade weekend fell on Halloween. Crescent walked to the great Hall to find it decorated with pumpkins and cobwebs. She didn't eat much, knowing that she would fill her stomach up with honeydukes sweets. "Why the hell does it have to be so bloody cold?"Jessica grumbled as they made their way out of the castle. Miles and Jessica were her company for the day. It usually included Yellow, but Yellow had taken to not speaking with them. She had smiled at Crescent whenever she saw her and the two had spoken for a bit during Potions, but it was mere chit chat.

Crescent had seen Yellow roaming about the castle with a group of people she didn't know. She didn't think too much of it though, she was already stressed as it was, with the O.W.LS and all. The strangers she had seen were still on her mind and she often played the conversation she had shared with them in her mind. She had told Jessica about them although Jess had been of very little help.

"Hello,"she heard two voices chorus. She looked to her right and left to see that Fred and George had joined her. Miles and Jessica waved to boys and Jessica sent a wink to Crescent. "I haven't seen the two of you around. Though I have heard of your pranks,"She said. "Oliver's been driving us insane now that the first match is coming up so soon,"George complained. "Just a week more,"Crescent replied. Holden Turner had not being going easy on them but he was no Oliver, he had given them breaks. He was confident that they would beat Hufflepuff, who according to him, was a rather pathetic time, with exception for Cedric Diggory.

"I guess it'll pay off, if you'll bet Slytherin, though,"Crescent said. The twins nodded. "So, what are your plans for Hogsmeade?"Fred asked. "Restocking on honeydukes and maybe some new clothes from that shop that sells muggle clothes,"Crescent said. They made a face,"And no Zonkos?" She laughed,"I'm too stressed to prank anyone."

"That's all the more reason to prank!"They exclaimed. "Sure,I guess,"She said, shrugging. "Do you know Yellow, from Hufflepuff?'George asked. Crescent looked at him surprised,"Yeah, I do."

"We think She's got a bit of a crush on old Ollie,"George said. "Well, for a fact, Old Ollie's got a crush on her too,"Crescent said. "Oliver having a crush?"Fred snorted. "It's true!" she protested.

"By the way he shooed her off yesterday, I would think twice."

"What do you mean shooed her off?"

"As in, screamed at her to get off the pitch, told her she's a spy for Hufflepuff and that she's been trying to read his tactics by spending time with him."

Crescent laughed,"Are you serious?"

"For once, yes."

"Oliver needs to stop thinking about quidditch so much. Get a girlfriend. Have fun."

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking Fred?"George asked.

"I think so too."

"What?"Crescent asked, looking between both the twins.
