"Y/n, guess what!" Lily says excitedly as I reach my room after quidditch practise.
"What?" I ask as a flop onto my bed, I'm very tired after that practise.
"First Hogsmeade trip is scheduled." She announces happily.
"When is it?" 
"14th of October." She says. "I cant wait."

"That's the day after the full moon." Remus says sadly after I tell the boys about the Hogsmeade trip. "I'll probably be in the hospital wing most of the day. I guess I cant go."
"If you cant go then we're not going either." James says but Remus shakes his head.
"I'm not letting you four miss out on this just because of me." 
"Remus, are you sure?" Sirius asks.
"I'm sure." He says. "Plus, I'll be able to come next time."
"We'll bring you back loads of chocolate mate." Peter says and Remus smiles.

Nothing interesting had happened recently and all anyone in our year could talk about was the Hogsmeade trip. It's a pity that Remus can't come, it wont be as fun without him there. He constantly says that he doesn't mind not being able to come with us but I can tell that it bothers him. I wish there was some way that we could make him not feel left out.

Or maybe we could just not listen to him and we could stay behind with him. No, the boys probably wouldn't enjoy that, even if they do agree they would only be doing it for Remus and I know they don't want to miss out on this. Maybe I could stay behind. I don't mind missing out, because of quidditch and homework I've not had much time to read so I could stay behind with Remus and we could have a quiet reading day. 
Yep, I like the sound of that idea. I don't think I'm going to tell Remus though, he'll try to stop me.

The Hogsmeade trip was today and I've told James, Sirius and Peter that I'm staying behind. They offered to stay behind too but I told them not to, I know how much they want to go. Right now, Remus should be in the hospital wing. I sneak out of my room quietly, Lily, Marlene and Alice were still asleep, and head down to the common room. James, Sirius and Peter are down there, talking happily about their Hogsmeade plans. 

"Lets go get breakfast." I say as I approach them. All three boys agree and continue discussing Hogsmeade the whole walk down to breakfast and all through out breakfast as well. I finished my breakfast quite quickly and stand up. 
"Remember to buy me chocolate." I remind Sirius and he pus his hand up to his head and salutes me.
"Yes, mam." I giggle at him and walk away, shouting a quick bye to my friends. I head up to the hospital wing and open the door cautiously. 

"Hello Miss Black." Madam Pomfrey welcomes me, looking up from her desk where she was doing some boring looking paperwork. "I didn't expect to see you, the Hogsmeade trip is today, is it not?"
"It is," I say. "I just didn't want Remus to feel left out so I'm staying here with him since he can't go." 
"That's very kind of you." Madam Pomfrey smiles at me. "I'm assuming the boys aren't staying."
"No, they're not." I say shaking my head. "Just me."
"Well, Remus is still asleep, but you are free to stay."
"Thank you." I say and I walk over to the bed Remus was lying on. I sit down on the seat next to the bed. I smile as I look at Remus, who is sleeping peacefully. I pull a book out of my bag, which I had brought down with me, and begin reading it. 

"Y/n?" I hear Remus' groggy half-asleep voice mumble. I put the book down to see that he is awake and looks very confused. "Why you here?"
"I'm staying here with y-" I begin to say but Remus cuts me off.
"Y/n, I cant let you miss out because of me." He says.
"Too late," I say. "They've probably left already. I'm staying and you cant stop me." Remus sighs and lays back in defeat.
