The next morning everyone that was leaveing was packed and ready to go Hogsmead station. Laura looked out the window and down to Hagrid's hut.

"I'm bored!"She sighed.

"Wanna play chess?"Ron asked.

"No,you'll beat me!"Laura responded.

"So"Ron shrugged.

"It's totally barabric!"Hermione groaned.

"Is that all you can ever say about it?"Harry asked.

"Oh,believe me,I could say more!"Hermione said,flatly.

"I'm going to get lunch,anyone comingwith me?"Nikole asked.

"I'll go with you!"Amanda yelled,jumping from the common room table.

"I wander what my moms gonna get me for christmas"Amanda said.

"I dunno,I wonder what my moms gonna get me"Nikole shrugged.

"We're going to Hogsmead tomorrow.Maybe you'll find something for her"Amanda responded.

"Yeah,then I also have to buy something for Oliver"Nikole sighed,as they entered the Great Hall.

As they walked to the Gryffindor table,Malfoy's eyes followed them.He was sitting next to Slytherin girl named Casey.

"But what should I get him?....besides butterbeer"

"Nimbus 2002?"Laura said sitting on the other side of her.

"Don't have that kind of money...."

"Anything Quidditch"Amanda sighed,filling her plate with food.

"I know! Take him up to the Shrieking Shack and give him all he's ever wanted!"Laura laughed.

"Please tell me you're joking!"Nikole and Amanda both said.

The 3 of them were laughing so hard that Dumbledor looked up from his the teachers table.

"I think I'll just get him a bunch of candy,because I can't think of anything"Nikole sighed.

Later on Amanda and Nikole were in her room listening to music and talking.

"What is that music?"Ron asked.

"Mercy Me"Amanda responded.

"WHO?"

"An American Christian group"Nikole said.

"Boy band?"

"Nope"Amanda shook her head.

"You do know that McGonagall with give you detention if she catches you in the girls dormitories"Nikole said.

"She won't!"

"She will!"

Ron turned and ran back to the common room.

"Soooooooo"Laura said.

"So what?"Amanda asked.

"No adventures picked out for this year?"Laura laughed.

"Uh....that's Harry's job"Nikole smiled.

"As for you little miss,Oliver's out on the Quidditch field"

"Why?"Nikole asked.

"Dunno,but you might want to go see him"Laura responded.

Nikole sighed and got up.She wandered down the numerouse halls of Hogwarts and out to the Quidditch field.

"It's gonna rain ya know"She said.

Oliver turned to look at her.

"I don't care"He said"I don't care if it's snowing.....I just want you"He said.

Rain drops started splattering around them.

"We should go back inside"Nikole said.

"I'm not ready to"

"C'mon Oliver"she said.

He started walking closer to her.She looked to the side when he was standing infront of her.

"I love you.....and I always will"He whispered,placing his finger under her chin,and lifting her face to look at him.

He slowly lowered to kiss her.It started to rain harder,and they were soaking wet.
