Chapter 50: The weekend and Hogmeade

The weekend at Hogwarts offers breaks for students, third years and older can gain permission from their parents or guardian to enter Hogsmeade the only wizard village in Britain which was located near Hogwarts Students can explore the village or they can shop.

For most Third year they would be glad to get out of the castle and visit the beautiful village of Hogsmeade But for Edwin, it was different he was more focus on figuring out how Runes are created even though he had already handed in his permission slip to Professor Snape he had no plan of going.

Inside the room of Requirement Edwin was reading through the Creation Runes he was almost finished reading the book but as he met the last chapter the wall turned into a door which signaled him that someone was entering the room of requirement.

" Here you are the carriages won't take a trip back to Hogwarts till this afternoon so you have to hurry up or we'll have to walk, " Isabella said while waking into the room

" Where are we going? " Edwin asked with a confused expression while trying to read his book

" Hogsmeade... everyone's going today," Isabella said " Daphne and the others are already on their way "

" I'll go some other time I got something to finish, " Edwin said continue to read

" you can finish whatever it is you have to do tomorrow," Isabella said trying to convince Edwin to go to Hogsmeade " You'll be the only person missing the twins are also going... Come let's go "

Edwin who wanted to finish reading Runes Creation knew that Isabella wouldn't stop asking until he agreed to go with her so he agreed reluctantly when Edwin agreed there was a faint smile on her face

As the two walked out of the room of requirement Edwin started to drop back as the walked when Edwin was just behind Isabella he took out the time turner and went back an hours in the past which would give him enough time to finish the reading runes creation.

Taking out one of his watches that he had found in the room of lost thing Edwin marked the time that he would need to be back to avoid suspicion, Edwin had fixed the broken watches that he found to serve as an alarm so he wouldn't make a mistake running into himself and could know what time he should be in a certain place.

As Edwin past self was in the Room of requirement he had to find another place to read the Runes creation Edwin he didn't want to move far from the 7th floor but had to keep away from the staircase to avoid Isabella seeing him so he had chosen to stay in the 6th floor's trophy room.

With no one to bother him Edwin didn't take long to read out the Runes creation book with new information he wanted to try and create a rune but he was short on time and Edwin couldn't use the time turner again.

Edwin waited till he saw Isabella going up the stairs and followed her when she entered the room of Requirement he walked past the room of Requirement and followed behind them after he saw himself using the time Edwin caught up to Isabella and walked to Hogwarts ground with her.

When they arrived by Hogwarts gate most of the carriages were already gone they took an empty one and head to Hogsmeade when the carriage left Hogwarts Edwin started to tapping his hands on the side of the carriage and Isabella seem to want to say something but couldn't but that didn't last long as she asks Edwin " How did you find out that You're a wizard "

" You wouldn't believe it if I told you, " Edwin said in a drastic tone to get Isabella attention which it did and he continues talking, " Professor McGonagall told me... what about you how did you find out "

Isabella glared daggers at Edwin " You found out from McGonagall Lucky... I found out when I was 7 my cousins were teasing me and I sent them across the room "

The carriage was no longer silent and soon the carriage pulled up to Hogsmeade the Village of Hogsmeade was filled with students of Hogwarts walking around, the cottage houses, pubs, and shops made the small village look beautiful each cottage seem to be taken care of as they each look newly build, throughout the small village there were benches which student could sit at the center of the village has a huge water fountain were Theodore and the other were waiting.

" what took you two so long, " Draco said while getting up from the fountain

" what are you getting up for we're going to take a picture, " Daphne said waving for Edwin and Isabella to sit down Theodore used a charm to let the camera float to take out the picture.

The group then left to check out all of the shops in Hogsmeade they went from shop to pub seeing what they had to offers they would buy things or take out pictures near the shop when they meet by Zonko's Joke shop the twin, Lee and Angelina were outside.

" We have to admit, " Fred said

" Zonko's got some nice stuff " George added

" yeah I mean would think of teacups that bite your nose," Lee said Shrugging " Fred, George you two got some competition "

When Edwin and the other approach the twin Lee and Angelina introduce themselves and told Edwin that they heard a lot about them when Theodore was about to set up the camera to take out a picture Lee and Angelina said wanted to be in the picture.

Theodore adjusted the camera to show everyone and took out the picture in front of Zonk's joke shop the rest of the day was spent wandering around Hogsmeade.
