Y/n's POV:

"Are you almost ready? We have to go or we'll be late!" Callum called me from outside my door.

"Coming! Just one second." I called back, lacing up the last of my shoelaces and dashing out the door.

Because we were planning on leaving for the Christmas Holiday's soon, Callum and some of the rest of my friends and I had planned on spending our last day at Hogsmede. It was going to be our last trip of the year 1991 afterall. And besides, what was the harm in spending some well earned gallions on some Christmas treats?

Plus, this would be the perfect opportunity to get some of those Christmas presents brought early and ready to go.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" George asked, tilting his head to my empty hands.

"Oh of course! Thanks George!" I said before rushing back up to my room.

"You've got plans?" Ben asked, raising his eyebrow at me.

"Why? Surprised? Last time I checked you only leave this room to go snog Eleanore." I quipped back.

"Hey that's not!-"

"Shush! Hold on for a second will you?" I raised a hand to quickly shut him up before scrambling through my bedside table and eventually finding what I was looking for.

"Aha got it!" I called out as I grabbed the small bag of gallions out of the middle draw.

"And to answer your question, yes I have plans. I'm going to get some early Christmas shopping done with Fred, George, Lee and Callum." I replied quickly.

"Oh really?! Because you see, Percy over here just-" Dylan began but was quickly shut down by a glaring coming from Percy.

"Uh...maybe we'll see you there." He said instead.

"Okay...but I've actually go to go now so see ya!" I smiled at the group and waved goodbye with my free hand before shutting the door behind me.

"Got it?" Lee asked me.

"Yep." I grinned, raising my hand and waving around the small satchel.

"Ok then, let's not waste anymore time then or McGonigall won't let us go at all." Callum said.

"But that's only because George, Lee and Fred continue to pull pranks on her!" I stated.

"Oh come on Y/n, you know you love our pranks." George smirked.

"You have to admit they can be funny sometimes." Fred finished.

"Key word- sometimes." I placed emphasis on the last part.

"It's one in a blue moon you actually admit it." Callum laughed.

"I mean, she's not wrong." Lee said. "They can be a bit unpredictable."

"Hey! You're supposed to be on our side Lee!" Fred wined.

"To be fair, you tend to take things too far most of the time." George admitted to his twin.

"That's not true! And you're one to talk-" Fred quipped back.

I sighed. "Sometimes I really wonder why we're friends with those idiots."

Callum chuckled in amusement at the sight of the three pranksters bickering. "Me too honestly," He rolled his eyes playfully, "me too."

"Ok so I've got to go find you guys some presents now." I said.

"But why can't we go with youuu?" Fred cried.
