I sit in the beautiful, cozy Hufflepuff common room. I hold a warm cup of hot chocolate in my cold, cold hands. I just spent the day in Hogsmeade with my BFFs, Addi and Jillian. Addi sits to my left on the couch, sleeping peacefully. She's probably the only person I know who doesn't snore. Jillian sits to my right, studying for McGonigal's big test tomorrow. I smile at the poster that hangs above our mantle. It's bright yellow and reads, "EveryBUDDY's my Buddy in Hufflepuff!" It may be cheesy, but it embodies our house rather nicely. I place my mug (it's yellow and has the Hufflepuff badger on it) onto the coaster. The noise causes Addi to jerk awake. Jillian bursts out laughing, her books falling from her hands. "What, what?" Addi says, as if she's afraid the clink of my mug on the coaster was the sound of a gunshot through the window. "It's just my mug, Addi!" Jillian continues to laugh, so hard she begins to cough. "Oh, God!" Addi yells. "Pull it together, Jillie!" Jillian nods and sucks in a large breath. "Hah!" She says triumphantly. I laugh, too, then, for I just can't help it. I love my friends.
