"Ow!" I yelped as I slipped on some ice. Kavie giggled as she helped me up.
"Kacy, it's winter. You're an idiot for trying to run on the ice." She stated.
"Zip it." I smirked, rolling my eyes. Okay, so it wasn't actually winter, but it had already snowed more times than I could count at Hogwarts. However, that's not where we were. Kavie and I were in Hogsmeade. And we were loving it. Turns out that when McGonagall sent letters to our parents explaining everything that was going on, she sent the permission slip... and after our moms woke up again, they signed. Anyway, we were making our way through a crowd of third years when we heard someone call our names. We turned around and were greeted by a bobbing head of red hair.
"Hey, Gin!" Kavie and I said in unison.
"Hi! Have you guys by any chance seen Ron?" Ginny asked, looking around.
"Nope. Although, I've been looking." Kavie smiled.
"Well, if you do, can you tell him I'm looking for him?" Kavie and I nodded.
"Okay. I'll see you two around. Bye!" And Ginny ran off in the other direction. The look on Kavie's face as we entered Honeydukes didn't need an explanation. I stuck my head out the door and saw Ginny talking to Neville, Seamus and Dean.
"Ginny! He's in here!" I yelled. Ginny looked at me and nodded, said goodbye to the boys, and ran over.
"Thanks, Kacy!" She smiled. She followed Kavie's gaze to her brother and walked over to him. It looked as if she was mad at him, but I didn't get a chance to figure out what about. Kavie had grabbed my hand and was dragging me towards a small group near the counter.
"They're new!"
"Just in!" We heard as we pushed our way to the front. Behind the counter, a quaint little woman was standing, her hand fully outstretched with a little Firebolt hovering inches above it.
"They're licorice!" The woman smiled.
"They're so cool!" A little boy beside me giggled.
"How much?" Kavie asked.
"Two sickles each." The woman replied. Kavie looked at me with pleading eyes. She had asked me to hold her money earlier because she wanted to buy new dress robes. Oh well, her loss.
"We'll take ten." I smiled. The woman took ten licorice brooms from a small jar on the counter and placed them in a small plastic bag.
"That'll be a Galleon and three sickles." I handed her the coins and in turn she handed us the candies. We said thank you and walked out, passing Ginny scolding Ron. As we walked out into the cold of Hogsmeade, Kavie and I both hugged our cloaks closer to us, trying to get a little warmer.
"Hey Kace. Lover boy at 12 o'clock," Kavie giggled, nodding towards Harry. He was standing in the doorway of the Three Broomsticks, and apparently noticed Kavie laughing. He smiled and waved us over.
"Hey Harry." I said as we reached him.
"'Lo" He smiled. "Wanna butterbeer? I was just going for one." He gestured towards the door.
"Sure!" Kavie said before I had a chance to respond. I shot her a dirty look and thanked Harry as he opened the door for us.
A/N: So, what did you think? Again, I'm WELL AWARE of it's length. And I promise that I will be updating a lot more frequently!
