As the three of them went inside the gryffindor common room, they instantly saw Harry laying down the sofa. Harry quickly jumped from his seat then approach his three best of friends.

"So how's Hogsmeade?" asked Harry, as he helped Ron to carry the things they bought a while ago.

"It would be fun if you were there Harry," said Ron, whilst he gave his best friend a Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. Harry returned him with a smile and nod.

"You could've seen all the books there! It's bloody fantastic!" exclaimed Hermione, as she show off her newly purchased book from Flourish and Blotts.

"Yeah, it's bloody fantastic alright," Ron mimicked the tone of Hermione with sarcasm, which caused y/n and Harry to laugh at Ron's impersonation of their book nerd of a friend, Hermione Granger.

"Atleast I won't get any cavities,"

"Atleast I won't get any cavities," Ron once again mimicked her.

"Stop doing it!" demanded Hermione.

"Stop doing it!" Ron was fully facing Hermione and right now he even dared to copy the same movements of Hermione— a brave boy right there. Y/n ignored the two and went to Harry to give her gift.

"What's this?" asked Harry, observing the drink held in front of him.

"A butterbeer you silly," replied y/n.

"No, I know what this is. What I meant was why are you giving me this?"

"Since you didn't join with us today. Why not give you something to cheer you up?" explained y/n, gesturing to the drink and looked at Harry's face again.

Harry didn't answer, instead he placed down his drink on the table and hugged y/n, which startled her at first, but then she finally accepted with open arms, engulfing the warmth hug of Harry.

Ron and Hermione suddenly stopped arguing as the two of them saw Harry and y/n hugging together. Hermione was quite jealous that y/n finally got her hug from a boy who fancies her. She looked over to Ron; his face was so confusing to read. It was a mixture of disgust and a hint of sadness.

Hermione let go off the weird thought formed inside her head and coughed very loud enough to let the two love birds to break up from their hugging session.

"I'll see the three of you at the feast later," Hermione abruptly left the common room. Ron, Harry and y/n was looking at each other, confused about the sudden change of attitude of Hermione. The ginger boy decided not to ran after Hermione because he knew if he ran after her, then the two of them would start a fight again and he doesn't want that so he instead stayed here with his other two best friend.

Harry whispered something to Ron, not letting y/n to know what it was. Y/n was curious when she saw them whispering to each other and she didn't like the idea of that; whispering to each other whilst she was right there all the time. Harry said his goodbyes, leaving Ron and y/n at the common room.

"Where's he going?" asked y/n.

"Uh.. I don't know?" answered Ron, giving y/n a innocent look.

The two of them sat there awkwardly and ate a bunch of different flavoured beans. The air between them was beyond uncomfortable and the silence was deafening them, since no one dare to utter some words. Then, Ron decided to break the weird tension forming around them.

"What's going on between you and Harry?" Ron asked calmly. Y/n doesn't know how to answer that, since she don't how she felt towards Harry. Yes, she liked Harry but there's a part of her that she couldn't fathom with.

Does this day couldn't get even more awkward? Y/n asked to herself.

"How about you and Hermione?" She asked, not wanting to answer the question of Ron a while ago.

"Nothing. Now tell me what's going between you two?" replied Ron, as he narrowed his eyes at y/n.

Y/n averted his looks and landed her eyes on her palm. She never thought that this question will be questioned to her and now that she heard of it, she doesn't know how to answer.

Y/n enjoyed the presence of Harry, he made her world like there's no doubt nor harm could ever happen— it was only just pure happiness. However, what she felt towards his enemy, Draco Malfoy, was quite different than Harry. It was like playing with fire, but the fire was sane and calmed when it comes to her.

"Do you like him?" Ron asked again to let y/n pay attention to him.

"I.. I'm not sure.. It's quite complicated don't you think?" said y/n, scrunching her brows downward.

"How complicated?"

"It's like, I'm not sure whether he likes me or not. What if time passes by and my love for him grows and then by time I realized that," y/n explained to him and then pause for a while and gave Ron a final few words, "I was the only who's falling,"

Ron looked at y/n and noticed there's a shiny gloss forming through her eyes, but y/n was strong. She didn't want anyone or anything to break her just like that. All of a sudden, y/n felt a hand placed on her shoulder, it was Ron's hand; comforting her.

Y/n knew the look of Ron and it was very easy to read. He can definitely relate, but he don't want to show that because if he told y/n about his crush then this news would spread like wildfire. Ron finally got up and offered his hand to y/n, which she held onto it.

"I'll see you at the feast later?" asked y/n.

"Of course we will," Ron let out chuckle at the end.

As he was about to go up to his room, he stopped and turned his back around, facing y/n once again.

"I can definitely relate to that," and with those words, he finally went to his room. Y/n knew. She knew way long before than them.

The feast finally came, which making the four of them meet at their usual seats. They began eating and talking just like how their usual evening would go.

"You know we should start a name," Hermione blurted out of nowhere.

"A name for what exactly?" asked Harry.

"A name for the four of us," replied Hermione. The four of them began brainstorming for their group name. The ideas keeps on going but none of them ring a bell. In other words, they didn't like it very much.

"How about we call ourselves 'The four who always got themselves in trouble' sounds about right eh?" Ron suggested, as he gave a playful smirk whilst eating his favourite food, chicken.

"I do not affiliate myself with trouble," Hermione said in a perfect posh accent, proving the three that they're wrong about her.

"I strongly disagree to that 'mione," y/n replied.

"Yes, I completely agreed with y/n. Ever since you've met us, you've kind of also signed up to your death contract," Harry laughed along with Ron and y/n.

"Is there any way to get out of this?" Hermione slammed her palm to her face.

"Nope, you're stuck with m- us!" Ron almost slipped but good thing he was quickly to recover.

"We know that you love us, right? " said Harry, nudging Ron at the side of his rib. Ron just answered him with a nod and a nervous laugh.

"I completely loathe all of you,"

"We love you too!" Ron, Harry and y/n said in unison, which cause Hermione to chuckled at her friend's playful gestures.

Hermione never thought four would be better than three. During the first and second year, it was fun and all but when y/n came to Hogwarts, it made the group even better. It was full of laughter and joy. She was the light; a truly bright light that in times of darkness she would be right there to light the right path.

And with that thought, Hermione came up with a brilliant idea.

"How about we name our group after a constellation?"
