So far the holidays have been lovely. Ron and Harry were the only two first year boys left in Slytherin, well there was Theo Notts but he mainly kept to himself so it did feel like they were the only two left boys left. All of the girls have gone wood readily admits that he really missed Hermione and part of him was excited for the holidays to end so they could all be back as a trio. As a result of the empty castle the common room was often vacant which was something they had taken a huge advantage of. Ron and Harry now spent Most of the days now sitting by the fire in the chairs that were usually occupied by the upper years. Eating whatever snacks they can get their hands on and discussing random stuff. What were the chances of Ron's Quidditch team game this year or new ideas for how to avoid Hermione's impressively and scarily accurate ability to know just when the boys have started to slack off. None of the ideas would actually work.
