**Alex’s POV**

“Halloween tomorrow,” I say sleepily, leaning against Fred’s legs, “and Hogsmead.”

“Henry and Carma are going on their first date,” Scarlett comments from the floor.

“And you lot have Quidditch practice,” Oliver says, appearing from the dormitories.

“No way,” I groan, hiding behind a pillow.

“Yes way,” Oliver says, snatching it.

“Oliver, come on,” Angelina sighs, “we need a weekend off. We’re all exhausted.”

“How about we do a catch-up practice this Tuesday?” I suggest, “and we have the weekend off.”

Oliver considers this for a moment.

“Alright,” he agrees, “we’ll start at four-thirty on Tuesday.”

“That’s an extra hour and a half!” I exclaim.

“Better rest up then,” he says, walking away. I groan loudly. Fred ruffles my hair.

“Don’t worry about it,” he tells me, “we’ll have a great time tomorrow.”

“I think I’ll just sleep,” Angelina says, “I’d be in bed now if it wasn’t so far away.”

“I don’t know if I’ll go either,” I sigh, “I’m just so tired…”

“You have to go,” Scarlett says, looking up at me.

“Why?” I ask, “you’re going with Bryce.”

“But…” she frowns and then suddenly her face clears.

“Bed time!” she announces, jumping up, “come on everyone!”

She ushers Angelina and Alicia upstairs. I look up at Fred.

“What was that about?” I ask. He shrugs.

“Just her being a weirdo,” he says. I climb to my feet and stretch.

“Well, I’m going to hit the sack,” I yawn, “night.”

On the way upstairs I pass Scarlett going down. She raises her eyebrows as I pass and I open my mouth to ask her about it, but she’s gone before I can. I’m too tired to pursue the issue, so I simply flop onto my bed and forget all about it in sleep…
