-in the hospital-

"he looks a bit peaky." ron says. "peaky? what'd you expect? he fell over 100 feet." george says. "yeah ron, let's walk you off the astronomy tower." "and see what you look like." the twins say. "probably a right sight better than he normally does." harry says waking up. harry slowly sits up. "how are you feeling?" hermione asks. "oh, brilliant." harry says. "you have us a right good scare there." george says. "what happened?" harry asks. "well, you fell of your broom." ron says. "really?" harry asks sarcastically. "i meant the match. who won?" he asks. "erm, no one blames you harry. the dementors aren't supposed to be on the grounds. dumbledores furious. after he saved you he sent them off." hermione says. "there's er, something else you should know too..when you fell, your broom sort of blew into the whomping willow, and..well.." ron says and shows harry his broom that's been snapped in half. he looks devastated.

"shit!" i shout sitting up in my bed. "what?" hermione asks quickly doing the same. "our hogsmeade trip is tomorrow! i have to get this signed!" i say. "you're not going to get it back in time." she says. "forge the signature." ginny says. "they check. i cant..i guess i just won't go..again." i say sadly. "bloody hell."

-the next day-
(outfit above)

i look at all the kids leaving to hogsmeade. "well harry i guess it's just me and you again." i say. harry drags me away and around the corner. "we're going." he says. "how? we don't have the permission form signed." i ask. he pulls me close to him and slips an invisibility cloak over us. "y'know you're smarter than i thought harry." i say. "i don't know wether that's a compliment or not." he says and snakes his arm around my waist. "stay close, the cloak is big on one person but i'm not so sure about two." he says. we walk in the snow and try and sneak past fred and george. the grab us. "clever harry, but not clever enough." fred says. "oh there's two in here." george says and feels around. "hey that's my boob!" i say. "oh y/n! lovely to hear you darling." fred says as the pulls us. "guys we're trying to get to hogsmeade!" harry says. "we know." the twins say at the same time. "don't worry." fred says. "we'll get you there." george says. they pull us back inside. "we'll show you a quickly way." "if you pipe down." they say. "now harry. come and join the big boys." the twins say and take the cloak off of us. "what're you doing?!" harry asks. they hand harry a piece of paper. "what's this rubbish?" he asks. "what's this rubbish he says." george says. "that there is the secret to our success." he adds. "it's a wrench giving it to you. but we've decided your needs are greater than ours." fred says. that made my mind go places i'm telling you. i blush. fred winks at me probably understanding the dirty joke. "george, if you will." fred says. george pulls out his wand. "i solemnly swear that i am up to no good." george says. "messrs. moony, wormtail, pad foot and prongs...are proud to present the marauder's map." i read. "we owe them so much." george says. harry opens the paper. "hang on. this is hogwarts. and that. no. is that really?" harry asks.  "dumbledore." "in his study." "pacing." "does that a lot." the twins say. "do you mean this map shows." "everyone." george says. "everyone?" i ask. "where they are." "what they're doing." "every minute." "of everyday!" george finishes. "brilliant. where'd you get it?" harry asks. "nicked it from filch's office of course. first year." fred says. "now listen. there are seven secret passageways out of the castle." george says. "we'd recommend this one." they say joining together and point to a spot. "the one-eyed witch passageway." fred says. "it leads you to honeyduke's." george says. "best hurry. filch is heading this way." fred says. "and harry, don't forget. when you're done just give it a tap and say: mischief managed. otherwise anyone can read it." george says. the ink slowly disappears. "brilliant. thank you two. let's go y/n." harry says. "leaving without a goodbye kiss darling?" the twins asks. i turn around and smile at them. i give them both a kiss on the cheek. "thank you both." i say before following harry down the hallways. i take the map from his hands. "i solemnly swear that i am up to no good." i say. the ink appears on the map. "this is so fascinating." i say. "it's just this way." harry says.

we move a concrete tile. harry pushes my thighs to help me up. i grab his hand and help him up. we cover the hole and harry slips the cloak over us. we walk up the stairs and into honeyduke's. seamus neville and dean are there. neville takes a lick of a lollipop and i steal it from his hand as we pass. harry and i giggle as we walk out of the candy shop. we sneak around a corner and i get out of the cloak. "thanks harry, i'll see you later." i say and lick the lollipop.

"it's meant to be the most haunted building in britain. did i mention that." hermione says as i walk up behind her and ron. "hello lovebirds." i say. "howd you get here?" ron asks. "i have my ways ronnikins." i say. "do you want to move a bit closer?" i ask. "huh?" ron asks. "to the shrieking shack." i say. "uh actually this is close enough." ron says. "well well look who's here." draco says coming from behind us. "you three shopping for you new dream home? bit grand for you isn't it, weasle-bee? don't your family sleep in uh, one room?" draco asks. "shut your mouth malfoy." ron says. "oooh not very friendly. boys, i think it's time we teach weasle-bee how to respect his superiors." draco says. i laugh. "i hope you don't mean yourself." i say stepping infront of ron. "how dare you talk to him! you filthy little cheater." goyle seethes. "cheater?" ron asks. a snowball gets thrown at draco. he quickly turns to the direction it was thrown, frightened. "who was that?" draco asks. another snowball comes flying. and another. and another. "don't stand there do something!" draco says hitting crabbe hard in the chest. "what?" crabbe asks. crabbe's pants get pulled down and goyle's hat gets pulled over his eyes. crabbe desperately tries to pull his pants up but he gets kicked in the arse and falls on his face. goyle's scarf gets lifted and he's spun around multiple times. goyle falls to the floor and draco's feet get lifted into the air. he gets dragged to the shrieking shack. he whimpers like a little baby. "what's up malfoy lost your skis?" ron asks. draco's legs get dropped and he runs back to his friends. crabbe finally stands up but draco runs and pushes him down. "get out of the way!" he shouts. he knocks down goyle on the way too. while ron hermione and i laugh the whole time crabbe shouts for his friend to wait. the strings on ron's hat get lifted up and so does hermione and i's hair. "harry." we say at the same time. "bloody hell harry. that was not funny." ron says as the three of us laugh.

i had left the trio to go find neville. "my lollipop! where'd you find it?" neville asks. "oh neville i saw it floating. so i thought i outta grab it. i did take a few licks though." i lie. "well if your mouths been on it i'm sure he'd want it even more." seamus says. "i bet he'd even pay for it!" dean adds. the two boys laugh while the tip of neville's ears go pink. "shut up you two." he says. "he was their friend!" i hear harry shouts from far off. i wonder what that's about. "y'know dean that sounds like a great idea. ten galleons for it nev." i joke and stick my hand out. he quickly reaches into his pocket and i lightly punch him in the chest. "i'm only joking." i say and hand him his candy. "how much do i have to pay to see you two kiss?" seamus asks. "five galleons." i say sticking my hand out. "deal!" he says and reaches in to his pocket. he sticks the money in my hand and i walk away. i turn around and blow neville a kiss. "thanks for the money finnigan! love ya!" i say and turn a corner. i should really find harry so we can sneak back out.
