Hermione woke early on September 19th with a large smile on her face. She rushed out of her dorm with fluffy slippers on her feet and ran down to the common room to see Y/N stood in the corner, near the Fat Lady portrait.

"Happy Birthday..." he started to sing, but was cut off when Hermione ran over to him and threw her arms around his neck.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Hermione screamed.

"I haven't done anything... yet," Y/N said with a happy smirk as he pulled a wrapped box from within his clothes. "Happy Birthday 'Mione."

She took the box and tore into it to see an attachment to the bracelet he got her last year. This one was designed to look like a crocodile mouth facing left and next to it, two arrows crossing.

"Its beautiful... but what does it mean?" Hermione asked.

"Ah... I'll tell you one day..." Y/N said mysteriously. "Do you want me to attch it for you?"

"Please," Hermione stuck out her wrist which held the bracelet. She had yet to take it off ever since Y/N gifted it to her the previous year, only would she remove it to go to bed.

Y/N clipped the small symbols right inbetween the lightning bolt and the book.

"Had to have this one specially made," Y/N said after the 'Click' was heard. "They didn't really have any in store with this specific message on."

"And what is that message, may I ask?" Hermione titled her head to the side, looking up at Y/N through puppy dog eyes.

"Not yet, 'Mione. But someday."

"The suspense is killing me, Y/N. Someday could mean the day before we die for all I know. Just tell me!" Hermione was practically jumping up and down on the spot. She placed her hands on his cheeks and started moving his mouth about while imitating his voice. "Well Hermione, the meaning behind this lovely gift is to symbolise our everlasting -"

"Still not going to tell you, until you're ready."

"And when's that? What do I do?"

"Say the right answer..."

The next few days, Harry and Y/N spent their time avoiding Lockhart, Harry more than Y/N. No matter what they were doing, whenever he saw them he would ask them if they've been following his rules. No signed photos! Like they needed to be told that.

Colin often just happened to spot Harry and Y/N in the corridors and would always approach them with an 'All right, Harry, Y/N?'. The amount of times they've replied with 'Hullo Colin' was getting on Y/N's nerves and he felt as if he was going to crack at him.

It was now the weekend, and Y/N, Hermione, Harry and Ron were planning on taking a trip down to Hagrid's hut since they haven't seen him in a while. But their plans were put on hold as Y/N and Harry were shaken awake at the crack of dawn by Oliver Wood, their Quidditch team Captain.

Y/N was pulled out of the comforts of his bed first and the team were ready to head down to the pitch.

"Wait! Shouldn't we wake Harry?" Y/N said, hiding his laugh as Wood nodded at his suggestion. Harry may only be a reserve player but he still needed to be at the top of his game if he becomes a necessary player like last year.

Wood pulled open the curtains of Harry's four poster bed and yelled "Rise and Shine!" into his face.

"Whassamatter?" Harry said, hiding a yawn.

"Quidditch Practise!" Wood said happily. "Come on!"

"Why do I need to go?"

"Gotta be at the top of your game if something happens to Y/N."
