Larah's POV

I watched Ebony stalk away from that boy and I frown slightly. I look back at Blaise. "Is she always like this?"

"Yeah unfortunately. She is a Slytherin after all."

"I'm going to go see if he's okay. I'll see you later?"

"Okay sure. You know the password to the common room right?"

"I know it. Bye Blaise."

I watch him walk away before I go after the boy. That's when I realized I couldn't find him. I ran down every corridor before running into someone. Whoever it was fell. "Really again?" I heard.

I looked down to see that boy that I just saw with Ebony. "Oh sorry my fault." I reach down to help him up but he shakes me off and stands himself.

"You can say that again." He looks at my robes and sighs. "Just leave me alone will you?"

"Hey I may be a Slytherin but I'm not totally nasty like Ebony."

"I honestly don't even care right now." He starts to walk away again.

"Hey wait up!" I run after him.

"What do you want?" he asks me.

I give him a sheepish smile. "I just wanted to know your name."

He just stares right through me like he's seen a ghost. I turn around to see some red-headed girl making out with this black boy right in the middle of the corridors. I take the boy's hand and lead him around the corner. "Hey you okay?"

He just shakes his head and I see him tearing up. I conjure up a glass of water. "Here drink this."

He gulps the water down quickly. "Sorry about that. I'm not normally like this."

"It's okay. You liked that girl didn't you?"

"Yeah a lot. For a year now."

"Wow that's a long time."

"I never knew she liked anyone else but then again I never told her I liked her either."

"Maybe you should. She might change her mind."

He looks down at the floor. "It's too late now."

I take his hand. "I promise everything will be okay. I'm Larah by the way." I give him a soft smile.

"Hi Larah. I'm Mark. Sorry for crying on your shoulder like that."

"It's not a problem. I'm here for you anytime."

"I should probably get to bed. We have classes tomorrow."

"Yeah me too. It was nice meeting you."

"You too even though you are a Slytherin."

I can't help but laugh. "Well I'll be around. Bye Mark."

"Bye," he says and lets go of my hand.

I turn and head towards the common room.

Rivers's POV

I skip down the corridors after dinner looking for Mason. I didn't see him in the Great Hall so I was worried about him. I hope he's okay. I pass by the library and I see him reading in an armchair. I go back and go in plopping beside him. "Mason! I was looking for you everywhere."

He looks up at me and smiles. "Well here I am."

"I was worried about you," I said as I take his hand.

"Rivers I'm okay really. Please don't worry about me."

"I can't help it. I love you Mason. You're my best friend."

He kisses my hand. "I love you too Rivers. Just be your normal happy self okay?"

I sigh and nod. "Alright fine. Only because you ask me too."

"So what should we do? Want to go up to the astronomy tower and watch the stars like we always do?"

I smile and stand. "Lets go." I pull him up with me and he drops the book on the armchair. I lead him out and he pulls me up. As he opens the door I start to feel something I never felt before. "Mason?"

"Yes my dear Rivers?" he replies as he sits me down beside him.

"Have you ever felt like something was meant to be?"

"No why? Have you?"

"I think I'm starting to."

He smiles and puts an arm around me. I lay my head on his shoulder and look up at the stars. Out of the corner of my eye I see a shooting star go past. "Mason look!" I point at it. "Make a wish."

Mason holds me tighter and mumbles something. I close my eyes and silently make a wish. I wish I can fall in love and be with him forever.

Dakota's POV

After dinner I walk down the corridors with Fred and George. "So boys what's our first prank of the year?"

"Oh we haven't decided yet," Fred said.

"Yeah we still have to work out the kinks," George also said.

I laugh at George's comment. "Kinks? Really? Do you realize how that sounds?"

His face goes red as his hair. I double over in laughter almost falling to the ground. Luckily Fred catches me and has his famous grin in place. I hold on to him still laughing not realizing George was getting upset.

"So Dakota you done laughing yet?" George said to me his hands on his hips. That image of him makes me just laugh harder.

"George maybe you should stop talking now," Fred said back to him.

He huffs and stomps away from us. I finally catch my breath and look in the direction he went. "Where is he going?"

"Probably the common room. We can find him later."

"Okay so what should we do then?"

"Lets go raid Filch's office!"

"Yeah! Come on we better hurry."

We both laugh as we run towards Filch's office. I stumble in and nearly fall again but I catch myself this time. I start pulling drawers out from a file cabinet. That's when I find a piece of parchment. "Fred! What is this?"

He looks at it and takes out his wand. "Show us your hidden mystery."

The parchment starts to reveal itself. A banner comes up that says Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. "Who in the world is that?" I think out loud to myself.

"I don't know but I hope we find out."

That's when we start to hear footsteps. I look at Fred in horror. We both scramble to find a hiding spot before Filch comes in. I settle under a table and he hides behind the file cabinet. I hear Filch stomp around and mumble to himself. Finally a few minutes later he leaves again. I wait a few minutes then I slowly come out.

"Fred?" I whisper.

"Yeah?" he whispers back.

"You can come out now."

He comes back out holding the parchment. "We better go before he comes in here again."

I grab his hand and run out towards the common room.
