October waved goodbye to the others as they set off for lunch, she wasn't feeling very hungry and so decided to set off early to the little village, Hogsmeade where Martha had told her to meet everyone at a pub called The Three Broomsticks.
Checking that no-one was around, October transformed quickly into her fox form and began trotting down the cobbled path, keeping close to the trees so as not to attract attention. She let out a bark of delight as she grew closer to the fairytale-like village and darted down the path letting her red tail stream out behind her, one day she would have to take Erin with her exploring, she was nervous of her wolf form and October was determined to show her how fun it could be.
The main street of the village was almost empty apart from a few shoppers staring in windows, they didn't pay any attention to the fox as she padded down the street, eventually October found the pub and transformed back into her human form in an alley way before entering the cosy room. After ordering a Butterbeer from a pretty barmaid, October found an empty table close to a window and began sipping her drink and day dreaming as she stared out the window a small smile playing on her lips as waiting for the others to join her.

Alice was to meet every one at the three broomsticks, she had met Penelope in the common room so had decided to walk down with her to the small village she hadn't been to hogsmeade yet and was dying to see it. She and Pen bounded along the long path until they came to the village.
"Where meeting the others in the three broomsticks" she said knowledgly She spotted a large pub with a picture of three broomsticks hanging off it, she took it as the pub and walked forward. "Come on Pen" she said smiling as they walked in. She spotted october sipping a butterbeer and walked over to her sitting down. "Hey October" she said as Pen sat down next to , "By the way you were really cool in quidditch" she said "Though you better watch out for us eh pen" she with a grin to show she was joking.

Martha Moon was walking to Hogsmead. While she was doing this, she was keeping herself busy by scaring the first years – her all-time favourite hobby.
Three of them had seen her hand – even though she had tried to hide the red marks leftover from her detention with the old toad – and asked her what had happened. Martha has told them a monster had scratched her, hoping they had just seen the scratches and not the words “I will not be a fool” or they would never have believed her.
One thing led to the other and now the three first years were huddled around her as they walked, Martha telling them a horror story she was making up as she went along.
‘And then,’ Martha said quietly, leaning forward. The three first years leant forward too, hanging on her every word. ‘They opened the door in the Hogwarts castle…’ She mimicked opening a door, making a creaking noise.
She paused, letting that information sink in. ‘What did they find?’ whimpered a girl, almost tripping over her feet she was so focused on the story. ‘What is in that room?’
Martha merely smiled. ‘In that room,’ she whispered, leaning even further towards them. ‘Is a… MONSTER!’ She shouted the last word making the first years leap in fright.
She was about to go into gory details but noticed she had arrived at the Three Broomsticks ‘Cya, little first years,’ she called after them as they whimpered away.
She entered the Three Broomsticks and saw her friends. She slipped into a seat and smiled at them, pulling the sleeve of her robe down so it was blocking her stinging hand. She didn’t want them to worry. Besides it was nothing. Just a few scratches. They would heal up soon.

Alice watched, Marthaslip in quietly, something seemed the matter but she wouldn't press the subject if Martha didn't want to talk about it.
"So was it bad then?"he asked her friend "the detention I mean, she didn't do anything horrid did she?" Alice asked rememberring Evvie's marks.
She took a drink out of her newly purchased butter beer and smiled gently; she loved butterbeer it was sooooo nice!
"So whats the plans for this afternoon then?" she asked her friends happily taking another sip of her drink, "I wanna see honeydukes definetly" she smiled.

October looked up as two people sat down next to her,
"hey Alice, hey Pen" she said cheerfully and took a sip out of the butter beer and pretended to choke when Alice said she had better watch out for Gryffindors, "sorry I was just laughing at your joke" she said then stuck her tongue out playfully, "but thanks Alice, you two were really good too" she added truthfully.
The door burst open again and Martha entered smiling at some unknown joke, she slipped into a seat and pulled her robe over her hand, October looked puzzled...it wasn't cold, but she didn't say anything.
"So whats the plans for this afternoon then? I wanna see honeydukes definetly" Alice asked.
October's hazel eyes widened in interest, even the name honeydukes made her want to go there, "ohh what's Honeydukes?" she asked excitedly "and I'd really like to go to a little book shop that was back there, I seen a gorgeous raven feather quill...."she drifted off, she would stop off there on the way back, "what about that joke shop you were telling me about yesterday Martha?" October asked.

Martha shrugged and smiled, ignoring the stinging of her hand. 'Detention was fine. Fluffy freaked out Umbridge.' She had left the snake in the common room before she had praised him for his good work.
Martha listened to October and her eyes lit up excitedly. 'Zonko's!' she exclaimed. 'I want to go to Zonko's! There's lots of great things you can get. I could get some dung bombs...' She trailed off excitedly and grinned. 'We have to go there soon! After we've been to your places of course, Toby.' She laughed, putting the memory of her detention to the back of her mind. If Umbridge thought that it would magically make Martha good, well, she was quite clearly out of her mind.

"Fanged Frisbees!!" Erin said with a dreemy note to her voice, "remember that one Martha, you know the one where we threw it down the corridor. It almost bit filch's fingers off and then eaten Mrs. Norris whole!!" she sighed happily, remembering Filch's cursing and the ugly cats yowls.
She took a sip of her drink, dissapinted it wasn't firewhiskey. Madam Rosmerta had refused to sell her it on the grounds of, "Now i know your deffinately not old enough to buy that, Darlin!" Erin had scowled, The wolf had snickered and she had bought something that may have been apples, may have been pumpkin or may have been pickled Filch's foot, for all the intrest she gave it.

Will walked down the beaten track that led to the pretty village of hogsmeade. He had changed his clothes from earlier too he was now wearing; some dark skinny jeans, a hoodie and a cool shirt as well as his converse and a warm scarf since it was getting very chilly now. He walked into the the pub and was almost trampled by a bunch of first years running away with petrified faces, he chuckled Martha obviously had something to do with it. He strode over to the small group and snuck up behind Alice he put both arms around her and smiled. "miss me?"he joked giving her a quick kiss before squeezing next to her. He ordered a drink from madam Rosmerta before joining in the conversation. "Well I definetly want to see the shreiking shack" he said.

October laughed, "Okay, we'll go Zonko's first then Honeydukes" she said.
She grinned at Will as he sat down next to a blushing but beaming Alice.
"I've heard of the shrieking shack! It's supposed to be haunted or something...." she said feeling a shiver run down her spine, "can we go in?" she asked excitedly. Behind her she heard a girl snigger and whirled round to see Chelsea, Pansy and a group of Slytherin girls smirking at her, "Ha! As if you'd actually have the guts to go into the shrieking shack" Chelsea scoffed, challenging October who furrowed her eyebrows in annoyance,
"I'm sorry I don't remember talking to you" October replied coldly, her past experiences told her not to trust this girl.
"Well I couldn't help overhearing and no offense but ravenclaws aren't exactly...ahh......known for their bravery.....I bet you could last a minute in there, actually no, I bet you couldn't last the night....." Chelsea replied, watching October's expression carefully and smirking to herself.
October rolled her eyes, deciding not to rise to this, but she couldn't help a part of her wanting to prove Chelsea wrong, she was brave, okay not as much as Gryffindors but she wanted so badly to shut her up, even if her common sense told her not to.

Alice felt to arms wrap round her from behind, turning her head she saw Will standing behind her she smiled and gave a small blush. "miss me?" Will had asked, she shook her head "Nope" she teased but giggled to show she joking.
"The shreiking shack?" she said biting her lip nervously, she heard the snigger and turned to see Chelsea laughing with a group of overly made up slytherin girls, she was so annoying honestly it was as if she had nothing better to do then annoy everyone she really needed to get a life.
"Chelsea go home" said Alice obviously annoyed by the idiots presence "just go home" she in a soft but obviosuly annoyed manner

'Of course I remember,' Martha replied to Erin. 'Filch was so mad.' She laughed, thinking of all the curses he shouted after them as they had run away.
Martha sniggered at Chelsea when she started saying how they could never go into the Shrieking Shack. Martha considered charming a paper aeroplane to dive at her but realised she had no paper. 'The Shrieking Shack's not haunted,' she said simply. 'It's just a good spot for scaring first years. And October is far braver than you.'
Not feeling ruffled at all by the commotion, Martha turned to her friends and grinned. 'Looks like we're going to have to go to the Shrieking Shack too then. You all up for it?'

Erin didn't answer Martha, she stood up and walked around the table to stand in front of Chelsea and the other Slytherin girls, pansy took a quick step back from her and Erin smiled widely, showing her pointy teeth in her devilish smile.
"Ravenclaws may not be brave, but their smart! and i bet, i bet they wouldn't mess with a wolf!" She smiled crookedly, the gesture just not quite meeting her eyes. The animosity she felt towards Chelsea was new and fierce but she fought it back, the anger would only fuel the wolf on.
"But if your looking for bravery i bet you wouldn't go, right here, right now into the shrieking shack with me alone. Would you?" She folded her arms and looked on expectantly at the snide girl, Pansy looked ready to faint, probably thinking that Erin would eat Chelsea. And to be honest if Chelsea got on her nerves just one more time, that would maybe happen!

Lance had seen Erin and a few others from the party last night walk down the old hogsmeade track, deciding to go join the fun he followed stealthly with a smug grin.
He entered the old pub with a cheery smile and spotted; Will, Alice, October, Erin and Martha sitting in the corner and another girl standing nearbye, what was her name Chelsea? He walked over and sat down uninvited. "Hi guys" he said in a plumby voice "What a party" he smiled as he looked over at Chelsea she was teasing Martha and Alice was getting pretty miffed with her.
"Fiesty one you are" he said in a strange voice to chelsea. The conversation stopped and every one looked at him with strained glares, he gave a pompous chuckle. "Its Yoda, star wars... you know...." he trailed off his smile dissapearing.
"So the shrieking shack" he quickly said "I'm up for it are you guys?" he asked them with a big grin

"I'm in!" said a unknown voice coming from the door. Patrick came walking in towards everyone at the table. "Hi!, I'm Patrick." said Patrick with a giant smile on his face. Patrick was wearing his black hoodie with the hood up. He looked at everyone who he never met before. "I uhh...Hi." said Patrick who glanced around at everyone, he started to feel awkward. He had his raven on his shoulder and it flew onto the table and started to peck at it. "Poe, stop it!" said Patrick as he grabbed the raven. "Sorry about that." said Patrick with a awkward smile.

"So the shrieking shack" he quickly said "I'm up for it are you guys?" lance had asked them with a big grin.
Alice bit her lip nervously, so she was a little freaked wouldn't you be the ghosts were meant to be really threatening there unlike the hogwarts ghosts that were kind. Wait a minute were did lance come from, she didn't even remember him arriving she smiled friendlilly at him but then he stareted talking strange.
"Its yoda" he had said obviously confused by the puzzled looks.
Alice cocked her head to once side "Whats a Yoda" she asked a few other people looked puzzled as well "Sorry Lance but whats that?" she asked.
Before he could anwser a boy she'd seen at lunch walked into the pub, he was in gryffindor it was strange how she'd never seen him before. "I'm in" he'd said. Alice smiled kindly at him as he introduced himself as Patrick "hi patrick I'm Alice" she said as he sat down, a black bird jumped onto the table and she jumped a mile, Alice wasn't a fan of Ravens or any birds that weren't owls call it a phobia if you would Alice and birds just didn't mix.
She eyed the bird carefully it seemd friendly enough but she still didn't trust it...
