"Remember, the visits to Hogsmeade village are a privilege" Professor McGonagall announced to all of the students as Astrid put her signed paper in the woman's hand. She walked back to stand with her friends Sailor and Casey along with two more that had seemed to begun joining the group more often, Fred and George.
"Should your behavior reflect poorly on the school in any way that privilege shall not be extended again."
Harry Potter approached her and she held her finger up to the young boy.
"No permission form signed, no visiting the village. That's the rule Mr. Potter."
Astrid frowned towards the boy whose face fell at the words.
"I feel so bad for him" Sailor said sadly.
"Me too" Astrid said, a frown covering her lips. "When I went to Ilvermorny I wasn't aloud to go anywhere cause my mother would never sign anything. I felt awful having to stay behind, I can imagine how he feels."
George frowned at this and his brother noticed, nudging his arm. George rolled his eyes at Fred quickly.
"Those with permission follow me, those without don't" Filch, the caretaker, stated promptly as the group began following him. Astrid's eyes lingered on Harry who was begging McGonagall to sign the form. She denied his begging, explaining that she was not his parent nor guardian. Harry's eyes met Astrid, noticing she was the only student still standing there. His face actually softened for the first time as he noticed the sympathetic look. She nodded softly before Casey grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the group. Hermione and Ron followed, glancing back at their defeated friend.

After a long day in Hogsmeade, Astrid was exhausted. She had shopped and bought more than she probably should have. Mostly sweatshirts and stuff but she also indulged in some things from Zonko's joke shop to prank her godfather with. George and Fred were surprised when they saw her face light up when they mentioned wanting to go into the shop full of pranking items.
"Little do you know, I was a top tier prankster at Ilvermorny" she had stated. "Ask Remus about all the things I've done to him."
Casey had lit up saying "There's the Slytherin in you I've been looking for."
They were now in the castle and making their ways to their dorms. George and Fred had already parted from the group before Sailor bid the two girls farewell and headed to her room. Casey and Astrid giggled as they entered the Slytherin common room, heading towards their dorms.
"Did you hear?" one of their roommates, Sarah, said as she ran over to Astrid and Casey.
"Hear what?" Astrid questioned.
"Apparently Sirius Black and Tate Stellar are in the castle!" she said panicked. "One of the paintings was ripped and the other paintings claimed it was Sirius who did it along with Tate."
