Spring filled the air at Hogwarts School of WitchCraft and Wizardry. Flowers were blooming, birds chirped high in the air as they playfully chased one another, and the atmosphere in and out of the Castle was peaceful. With the skies clear and a gentle breeze caressing the students faces Neville, Ginny and Luna, (also known nowadays as the Silver Trio) had made their way down to the Black Lake now as they finished up their last class of the week.
"Such a lovely day, don't you think?" Luna asked as she and her best friends reached the shore of the lake, nothing but a clear view of the mountains looming in the background.
"One of the best." Ginny replied as she and Luna began to untie their black, lace up shoes. Out of the Corner of her eye, Luna could see the ripples of the dark, murky water slowly reaching the shore line. A kind smile appeared on Luna's face as she noticed a large purple tentacle popping out of the water.
As she treaded carefully into the water, Ginny had stripped from her white, long-sleeved school shirt, along with her red and gold tie, showing off her maroon colored tank top as she sat on the bank of the shore with her held dipped back as the Sun's rays kissed her fair, freckled skin. As the two girls enjoyed the tranquility of the beautiful day, Neville was sitting under the beech tree, his Herbology book open on the grassy floor, a roll of parchment sitting beside him. As he reached for his quill and ink, he lifted his head, a crooked smile resting in the corner of his mouth as he witnessed his two best friends enjoying their peaceful afternoon.
Wanting to capture this moment, Neville pulled out his mobile phone and snapped a picture of the scene before him. He smiled happily at the picture, content with the way of life. Once he saved the picture to his photos, he switched over to his instagram account and began to share this moment.
Meanwhile in a small flat in the Magical part of London, Harry Potter leaned back against the bed he shared with Hermione. With his left arm propped behind his head whilst he used his right hand to scroll his Facebook feed, he was alerted of a new post from Mimbulusmimbletonia, Neville's instagram name. Curious to what his old friend was up to, Harry clicked on the notification, chuckling at the image before him as he read the caption.
"What's so funny?" Hermione asked him, her eyes not leaving her book as she sat beside her boyfriend.
"Oh nothing," Harry told her with a slight shrug of his shoulders. "Neville posted a weekly update on his instagram."
"Let me see." Hermione said as she marked her page in her book. Harry looked at her, hesitating whether or not he should hand over his phone.
"What? What did he post that you don't want me to see?" Hermione asked him suspiciously, raising a brow at him. Harry let out a sigh and reluctantly handed her his phone. "Nothing bad.. Just promise me you won't..-" Harry was cut off by a shriek escaping from Hermione's lips.
"Freak out." he finished.
Hermione's eyes were widened. Fear filling her warm, brown eyes as she looked at the picture before her, reading the caption Neville had posted underneath.

"Is Luna insane?!", Hermione cried. " I mean, I know she's rather odd and I love her to death, but doesn't she know the Giant Squid could kill her?!" Harry watched as Hermione began to type fast, replying to Neville's post.
hjpotter THIS IS HERMIONE ON HARRY'S ACCOUNT: LUNA NO!
Harry wrestled the phone from Hermione's grasp, his fingers quickly typing away.
Hjpotter Srry couldn't stop her.
Ginny could hear her phone dinging from the inside of her bag. She casually reached for her bag, rummaging through it until her fingers grasped hold of her phone. She typed in the password and clicked on her Instagram notification. She smiled whole heartedly at the image, then as she scrolled through the comments, she couldn't help but roll her eyes before replying.
Ginweasley just get an ig Hermione
"I don't understand out of all of our friends, why Hermione hasn't gotten any form of Social Media. She is a Muggle afterall." Ginny mumbled under her breath, fluttering her eyes shut as she basked in the rays of the sun. Not even two minutes later, Ginny heard her phone ding once more.
Hjpotter hermione again: SHANT!
Ginny set her phone aside once more, about to lay back in the grass when she heard a loud squeal come from Luna's lips. Ginny quickly sat up, her mouth agape as she watched Luna dangling high in the air in the tentacles grasp.
"Shit!" She exclaimed as she pulled her wand from her bag. "NEVILLE," Ginny hollered, " PUT DOWN THAT BLOODY BOOK AND HELP ME FETCH LUNA FROM THE SQUID!" Neville immediately threw his book to the ground, running after Ginny as they went to save their best friend.
