Another Hogwarts Holiday
It was a disaster. There was no better way to put it.
Six summers back it had been everyone’s first summer at Hogwarts Holiday Camp in the Scottish Highlands. The camp was a respected one, and selective as well. It trained children for their future careers, having a variety of subjects for students to choose from and enjoy over the summer. All of them were from different backgrounds, from different parts of the British Isles, yet they all got along so well, so well indeed. They’d all become friends immediately, exchanged their Mum and Dads’ mobile numbers, and vowed to keep in contact even after the summer had ended. Some of them didn’t even live too far away from each other, and they all had reunions every once in a while. They grew apart, of course, during the school years, but when summer came along, they all were there for each other once more.
It had been quite simple, quite simple indeed, until they had all turned fifteen. Then it had gotten complicated. For the summer before fifth form was the summer that all of them began going out with others. It started alright, but when they began dating each other, that was when it had grown quite complicated. Because in truth, perhaps they were just too good friends to be romantically involved.
