Kel couldn't help but shiver in the cold winter air as she walked down the long road in front of her. As Mid-Winter drew closer both Charlie and Bill had offered to take the trio into the small town west of the castle, both claiming they needed to buy presents. As the group of five walked slowly along, Kel couldn't help but overhear the conversation between Charlie and Dom. Both were talking about the latest Quidditch match, which had taken place only days before.
Saturday's game had been a close match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, which Charlie and his team had just managed to win, the score 150 to 155.
Although Kel had been at first, slightly hesitant towards the game both Neal and Dom had taken an instantaneous liking to Quidditch.
Soon after Kel, Dom and Neal had seen their first game, Charlie had taken them down to the pitch for flying lessons, much to Dom's joy. Neal had quickly taken to the sport and to Charlie's delight he said Neal would be perfect for the team next year. Dom was slightly worse then Neal at the beginning but after a few hours in the air both had become a level match.
Although Kel had the beginnings of an excellent flyer, even out-stretching
Neal, as soon as she had gotten a few feet off the ground Kel had frozen up, only moments later to be rescued by Charlie.
'Damn,' Charlie had said with a regretful smile. 'And for one I thought we actually might have had a winning team.'
After that Kel had taken to just sitting down on the pitch as her friends flew in endless circles above her.
Walking through the outskirts of the village, Kel let Charlie and Bill move in front of her, allowing them to lead the way. As soon as the group had wandered into the main part of the village both Charlie and Bill halted, allowing the rest of them to catch up.
'So, what do you guys want to do?' Bill asked, his breath coming out in frosty wisps.
After an hour or so of wondering the shops Bill had gone his own way, saying he was going to meet friends in the Three Broomsticks and he might catch up with them later.
After Bill had left, the group of four had quickly moved onto the next shop, which just so happened to be filled with sweets of all shapes and size As Kel went around the room she couldn't help but pick up some off the lollies off the racks, many of which Charlie had first gotten her to try. Leaving the shop, Kel didn't fail to notice that Neal, Dom and Charlie each had their own bags, much like her own.
'God it's cold outside,' said Charlie pulling them into the closest shop, hoping to get out of the chill of the newly fallen snow that had just begun to fall.
Looking around, Kel noticed they where in a small store filled to the brim with students mingling around the shelves, exclaiming and pointing at the products.
'Charlie,' said Dom breaking the silence that had fallen over the group, his eyes on the large purple box in front of them. 'Where are we?'
'Ah,' said Charlie with mischief in his eyes. 'Today ladies and gentlemen, I have the pleasure of presenting you with one of the most renowned shops in the wizarding world. Welcome my friends to Zonko's Joke Shop.' Charlie finished his sentence with a mock bow.

Kel walked into the Gryffindor common room feeling extremely full and tired.
After arriving back at school just in time for dinner, Charlie, Dom, Kel and Neal had quickly made a beeline towards the great hall. As soon as the meal was complete, Charlie had quickly made his way towards Quidditch practice, Neal and Dom following close behind.
Parting at the bottom of the stairs leading to the Gryffindor common room, Kel had made her way slowly upwards, hoping to finally catch up on some of her homework.
Kel went up the stairway that led to her dorm, opening the door she greeted the girls with a small smile before grabbing her books and running back out the door. Slowing her run down to a walk, Kel made her way leisurely down to the Common Room and within minutes was sitting alone at one of the large tables nestled in the corner of the room.
