It was an oddly warm day for the beginning of November, the first frost had yet to happen. But that just made it all the sweeter for the throng of Hogwarts students flooding into Hogsmeade for the first weekend of the year.
Parvati and Lavender walked arm-in-arm towards the small Wizarding village, the rare lull in conversation made decent room for them both to admire the group of 7th year Gryffindor boys ahead of them. With the lovely weather came the young men that would shed their long robes, and the Muggle jeans some of them wore, well, they hugged quite nicely. The view was quite pleasant for a morning walk to the village.
Parvati nudged Lavender in the ribs, who made an indignant squeaking noise and glared at her friend until she realized what Parvati was drawing her attention to. Lavender softly bit her bottom lip, but the smile still slipped through. "You ever see him after practice?" Parvati whispered. "Ginny says he likes to do laps around the pitch without his shirt on."
"Since when do you talk to Ginny Weasley?" Lavender rose a brow and lightly shoulder-checked her friend as they continued to follow the path to the village.
"Since, I'll tell you later, but for now…" She moved her arm in a way that showcased the jean-clad men in front of them. Lavender pouted and batted her lashes at her best friend. "Okay, shut up, fine, apparently, one time he lost a bet, and had to do his usual lap in nothing but a pair of edible panties she got at Diagon, and his jersey."
They clutched each other and giggled loudly, entirely missing Pansy Parkinson falling a into mud puddle.p
