Liz woke up that morning very tired. She hadn't gotten much sleep last night due to her tossing and turning. She kept having this reoccurring dream about her friends in this small room. They were all screaming for help but no one could hear them. It was odd because Adam was standing in front of them with a bunch of wizards just laughing at them. Talk about having the occasional weird dream, Liz said to herself.

"Morning Liz!" she turned in her bed and saw that Hermione was awake as always bright and early. She was already dressed and bouncing around the room.

"Yeah, yeah. Why are you so cheerful this morning?" Liz grumbled as she pulled herself out of bed.

"I have a date today at Hogsmeade!" Hermione exclaimed as she flounced out of the room. How odd. Hermione in an extremely good mood and didn't even yell at me to wake up this morning. Hmm must be with Adam or Ron today. Liz pulled on jeans, a sweater, some boots, and walked down into the common room.

"Good morning Liz!" Harry was walking down his stairs at the same time and had spotted Liz before she saw him.

"Hi, Harry," Liz yawned and stretched her arms due to the fact that she was very tired.

"Unusually tired this morning?"

"Oh, well, I didn't get very much sleep last night. Had a bad dream."

"Me too."

Tina slept through her alarm clock that morning she noticed as she got up out of bed. That's odd, usually she can't sleep through anything, she could hear a pin drop and wake up. Sometimes her roommates would wake her up but she noticed that they were all gone. Really strange, oh well. Tina put on her jeans, a big sweatshirt, she stole from an ex boyfriend from the states, and some sneakers before walking down into the common room. It was already almost 10 and she didn't want to be late shopping with the girls. Tina walked down to the Great Hall alone which was even more odd for her because usually she finds someone by now to walk with.

"Hey there Tina!" Tina turned to see her favorite person walking towards her. She smiled as Draco walked up to her and gave her a kiss.

"Wow what was that for?" Tina asked surprised by the kiss.

"Oh, nothing really, just excited to spend a whole day with you," Draco replied sitting down at the end of the table.

"Sorry, but it's a girl's shopping trip today. Maybe I'll find you after, if you're lucky," Tina teased as she sat down next to him.

"So, I have to be lucky now to hang out with you?"

"Yup!"

Mere woke up that morning with a big smile on her face. Tonight was her first date with Roger in Hogsmeade. She was going shopping with the girls and had to pick out the perfect outfit for it. Mere put on her favorite pair of jeans, a Florida State sweatshirt, and her Adidas sneakers and headed down to the common room. She spotted Roger sitting by a window sill staring out onto the Hogwarts grounds.

"Hey Roger," Mere startled him as she walked closer to him.

"Good morning, I was just thinking about you. How about we go get some breakfast?" If Roger was as nervous as she was about tonight he was concealing it very well.

"Sure." Roger took Mere's arm as if she needed guiding down to the Great Hall like she wouldn't make it if he there. They sat down at their usual spot at the Ravenclaw table. Mere spotted her friend Maggie Bykowski and waved her over. Mere had become great friends in their second year when Mere and Tina had gotten into a fight over something incredibly stupid. Maggie was taller than Mere and certainly taller then Tina, she was probably around Liz's height. She had medium brown hair with hazel eyes. Maggie was one of those smart girls who kept to herself. Mere believed she saw her hanging out with Cho Chang a few times.

"Hey Maggie! I haven't seen you around too much this year," Mere greeted her friend as Maggie sat down across from her.

It was getting to be way past 11 and Maya was getting impatient with these people. Her friends could never get anywhere on time, Maya could just imagine in her head what they were doing right now. Liz was probably still in the Great Hall with Harry eating, as always, what else does that girl do. Tina was most likely in the common room with Draco or on her way here with Draco, those two don't leave each other's sights. Mere, god that girl was probably off day dreaming about her date tonight with Roger because that's all she has been doing this past week.

"Hey, Maya, sorry I'm late!" Maya looked up to see Mere walking down the path towards where she was standing at their favorite store. It was the only store they could all agree on clothing wise.

"It's about time someone got here!" Mere rolled her eyes as Maya lectured her about being late. She'd heard it all before and wasn't about to let Maya ruin her day.

"Oh please, I'm the least of your worries if I'm the first one here!" Mere protested after about 5 minutes of Maya's lecture, "Here comes Tina, you can yell at her now instead of me."

"Oh ha ha," Tina replied as she walked up to them, "I heard that, Meredith Brooks!"

"Well she has a point, you know!" Maya growled, "Would it kill you people to get anywhere on time!"

"Oh, calm down! You get tired of us after 2 hours anyways," Tina retorted as she spotted Liz walking down the path with a lunch roll in her hand.

"Hey, Liz, nice timing. We were just discussing how bored Maya gets when she shops with us."

They had been shopping about three hours now and Mere's legs were getting tired of walking. Tina looked like she was getting annoyed with all this trying on clothes. Liz kept giving her more and more clothes to try on. Maya was just strolling along like no one was fighting, casually looking down the streets in hope of seeing Sirius.

"Maya, stop looking for Sirius and don't deny it!" Mere yelled at Maya for the third time today.

"Oh, shut up!" Maya shot back as she fiddled with her bags pretending not to look back up at the streets.

"Stop it you two! We still haven't decided what movie we're seeing tonight," Tina interjected to stop the two bickering.

"We'll I heard that Nightmare on Elm Street is playing," Liz put in as she shifted the bags in her hands.

"You always want to see that Liz," Maya complained as she looked into a store window that had a pretty blue dress gown.

"Yeah, but I can't help it! My mother has this thing about horror movies. So I only get to watch them when I hang out with Tina. She never wants to watch Freddy Krueger movies anymore!" Liz whined as they stopped at the Three Broomsticks.

They all entered the pub and gathered at the only available table.

"Who's that girl sitting with Jeff? I thought he was going steady with Angelina?" Tina asked as she stared at Jeff and another girl across the pub.

"Oh, that's Maggie," Mere answered as she peered at them too, "I wonder what she is doing with Jeff? She told me this morning she had a date with some Gryffindor but I didn't think it was Jeff. Did him and Angelina have a fight, Liz?"

"Yeah, I think they broke up last week or something. Jeff and Maggie met a couple days ago I think he said. I talked to him last night and he was so happy that he forgot to do his homework," Liz answered Mere as she took a sip of her butterbeer. This was big news to all of them considering Jeff and Angelina were a great pair together. But as they watched Jeff and Maggie together they all smiled to themselves satisfied that their friend was finally happy with someone.

"Hello ladies," all of the girls turned to see Sirius enter the pub and walk over to them. They all rolled their eyes at him and Maya as they kissed hello and walked over to Sirius's friends.

"Remember our movie tonight!" Liz called out to them.

"Nice try, Liz. Ten bucks she didn't hear you," Tina laughed at Liz's attempt and took a sip of butterbeer, "I don't understand why these people like this stuff."

"We'll never know," Mere answered as she looked around the pub, "Hey guys, I'm going to go change into my outfit for tonight. Any of you want to come?"

"Sure, I might as well freshen up while I can," Tina got up and left with Mere leaving Liz behind all by herself.

"Gee, thanks guys for leaving me," Liz sneered as she watched her friends walk out the door.

"Maybe, you would like some company then," a voice came from behind her. Liz turned to see Harry behind her and she smiled at the sight of him. He took a seat next to her and ordered a butterbeer.

"So, are you guys done for today?" Harry asked looking hopeful that he would finally have his girl all to himself.

"Well, for now I am. But we're going to the movies tonight. You're invited too don't worry," Liz added at the look on Harry's face.
