Claire Magford, was a seventeen-year-old witch. She had long blonde hair and hazel brown eyes. She has great best friends, Lily Evans, Kristine Lupin, Katie Black, Krista Potter and the ever-famous Marauders. It was her final year at Hogwarts and it was Graduation night. The friends were going out to celebrate. They were all Gryffindors.

"Claire! Will you hurry up?" Krista shouted. Krista was James' twin sister and she was also in love with Sirius Black.

"Give me a second!" Claire shouted climbing out. She wrapped her Bath Robe round herself and went to get dressed. While Krista stamped past.

"So, Lily. Do you think tonight is the night?" Katie asked. Katie was Sirius' sister, and was dating Remus Lupin.

"I don't know. I mean I love James, but I don't know if he will actually propose," Lily said shaking her red hair out of her eyes. Lily was muggle born and dating James Potter. They were the perfect couple in Claire's opinion.

"Wear are my black trousers?" Claire screamed. They were her favourite trousers. She stomped round the Dorm looking for them. Then found Katie trying to smuggle them out of her Trunk.

"Katie, I would hate to have to fight you now," Claire said laughing. She grabbed her pants and went to get changed.

Once they were all changed, they went down to the Common Room to meet up with the Marauders. Claire was the only one not dating one of them.

"Hello!" Claire said brightly. They all answered and Remus, Sirius and James walked over to them. Claire stood aside disgusted at them. While Peter looked at her.

"Get lost Peter," Claire said laughing.

Once everyone was done saying hello, they set out towards The Three Broomsticks to start the night off.

"Krista, you getting the first round in?" Sirius asked grinning.

"Nope! That's your job," she said smiling.

"Oh no. Look who just walked in," James said a very unpleasant look on his face. Everyone swivelled round to see Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy walk in with their group of Slytherins. Great, Claire thought to herself, that's all I need.

"What's up with you?" Remus asked Claire who was slipping under the table.

"Nothing!" she said smiling. The rest of the night was brilliant fun. They finally went back to Hogwarts around four o'clock in the morning. James slightly staggering, Sirius and Claire were singing loudly, Krista and Lily were talking about James, Remus and Katie were…uh….busy. And Peter seemed like a stalker. Once everyone had gone to their Dorms, the Girls sat awake talking like many nights before.

"I think James is on the verge of asking you," Katie kept telling Lily. They were all sat on Lily's bed eating ice cream and chocolate, while still slightly drunk. Claire was sat there happily eating vanilla ice cream nodding along. She had the best feeling in the world.

"I don't know I think chocolate tastes sickly," Claire interrupted before falling asleep on Lily's pillow. The girls looked at her amazed and laughed slightly.
