"So what are we going to do today?" Aria asks as we all walk to get breakfast.

"No idea,"Harper responds.

We all mumble our agreement.

"Well we can't go pester our siblings," Astoria sighs. "They're all going to Hogsmeade today,"

Anderson looks at me and a sly grin spreads across our faces.

"What are you two thinking?"Ashley asks,as she helps herself to a croissant.

A sly grin spreads across Harpers face too,as he understands what me and Anderson are thinking.

"There's no way."Aria says firmly. "We'll get caught and be in detention for a month. Plus we can't even get out of the front door."

Ashley's eyes widen in understanding.

"You want us to sneak into Hogsmeade?" She half whisper-yells.

Anderson clamps a hand around her mouth, successfully muting her for a couple of seconds, before removing it with a look of disgust.

"Oh my gosh- that is disgusting," Anderson says half gagging as me,Aria and Harper start laughing.

"Oh my,she licked it didn't she?"Astoria questions,her expression almost matching Andersons.

Ashley shrugs.

"Anyway how do we sneak into Hogsmeade then?" Aria asks.

Anderson shakes his head. "We don't have enough time for a plan if we want to go we have to be out ages ago."

I nod. "Exactly,Andy's right-" Anderson scowls at the nickname. "We need a plan so we need to make a plan by the time the next Hogsmeade trip happens,"

"Which is...?"Aria asks,while me and Anderson send each other a look.Maybe Aria was starting to agree with the plan.

"It's in the 1st week back in January,"Astoria says,once again shocking us with her knowledge.

"Speaking of holidays,"Ashley starts. "Is anyone staying for them?"

"I'm not,"Aria sighs in relief. "I'm finally getting out of school for about a week or two."

"Exactly," Harper says,agreeing with Aria. "If I've got the chance I'm not letting it go,"

"Fair."Anderson pauses. "I think I'm staying."

"I am,Mum sent Ginny,Ron and the twins letters saying that we were supposed to stay here for the holidays because they're visiting Bill and Charlie,"

"Good because they're starting the Christmas Games again this year,"Astoria says.

"The what?" Me and Anderson say simultaneously,before turning to high five each other.

"They're starting them again?" Aria asks, excitedly. "Oh I'm definitely staying now,"

"What are they?"Harper asks.

Astoria looks at us with a glint in her eye. "Well I don't remember exactly but there's a whole paragraph on it in my favourite book."

"Oh that's lovely,"Harper groans.

"Well if we're all done with breakfast,we might as well go and see this paragraph."I say and we begin to get up,grab our stuff and leave.

When we finally get back to Slytherin Common Room,it's pretty much deserted.

The only stragglers are the 1st years and the 7th years who are trying to cram in some last minute revisions.

"After this can we like explore the dungeons?" Ashley asks. "I feel like we're the only ones who don't know what it's like."

"We probably are,"Aria agrees.

"Wait,I'll go and get the book."Astoria says.

"No wait,we'll all go together."Aria says,with a few nods of agreement.

We all go up the stairs,Ashley linking her arm through mine like usual,but I still manage to trip up the stairs.

We all sit on the large dark green rug in our shared dorm, and Astoria digs through her corner of our dorm to find her book.

"I found it!"Astoria grins as she takes a seat.

"Em you should read," She says passing the book to me.

"The Slytherin Christmas games are event that occur annually. They are played in a hidden annex in the common room and in the dungeons. Every player is put into pairs,one in the above and one below and they must work together to be the first pair to get past all of the obstacles.The games last about week,with multiple challenges before every winner has to work individually and try to be the champion of the games."

I stop reading. "Well that's fun,"

"Very."Astoria says dryly. "They didn't happen last year because of the Chamber of secrets,or the year before that because someone got injured when they fell off their broom in a quidditch match."

We all look at her,shocked.

"What?"She says defensively. "I did my research!"

"Just surprised that's all..."Anderson trails off.

Astoria slaps the back of his head.

"What was that for?"Anderson groan,clutching his head.

Astoria raises an eyebrow.

"Okay,okay I'm sorry Toria,my bad-" Anderson says.

"You know,"Harper starts. "We should probably start making a plan to sneak into Hogsmeade in like a month."

"Now that,"Aria says with a small smirk. "Is the best idea I've heard leave your mouth."

Harper glares at her.

"Okay so plans. Anyone got an idea?"I ask. "Or should I say mine?"

"How about we pretend to be 3rd years?"Harper asks.

Anderson snorts,and we all look at him.

"Can you just imagine Harper dressing up with a blond wig to impersonate Malfoy?" He asks.

I can't stop the laugh that leaves my mouth.

"We'd need permission slips,"Ashley says. "No signed slip, means no entry,"

"It's still a good idea."Astoria thinks for a second. "I was going to say that we could somehow manipulate the 3rd years into sneaking us in with them."

I shake my head. "Malfoy would be stupidly easy to manipulate,but you forget they have Riddle,who's not actually a dumb shit."

Astoria sighs.

"It's still a good plan though." Aria mutters. "Em tell us your plan."

I sigh.

"Okay so we know my brothers right? Like Fred and George- not Ron. Well they're pranksters so if we can get them to somehow sneak us in,because they did manage to stay there,without getting caught."

Anderson begins to nod,a small smile spreading across his face.

"Now that is a good plan." Harper says.
