Niall cackles, throwing at sweet in Louis’ direction; “Could you imagine ‘im as a Gryffindor?”

The boys laugh and Harry just pouts, arms crossed. “Hey! I would be the most loyal, trustworthy and courageous Gryffindor you ever saw.”

“Sure you would,” Louis says as he leans into Harry, bumping their shoulders together with his lips pressed into a smile.

“Could you imagine if we all got sorted into different houses?” Liam asks, a frown on his face. “Do you reckon we’d still be mates?”

Niall and Harry share a glance before shrugging.

“Who knows,” Harry says.

“Glad we don’t have to find out, eh?” Niall says.

“Don’t know what I would do without you lads, if I’m being honest,” Louis shrugs, picking at his fingernails.

Liam reaches over from where he’s sitting by the foot of Niall’s bed and touches his knee gently. “Me too.”

“Okay,” Niall says, “We couldn’t live without each other, we get it. Louis, dare you to eat three sweets at the same time and see what happens?”

“Fuck yeah,” Louis says, putting his hands out for Niall to drop the small beans into.

And when Louis does an impression of a snake, a cat and a mouse all at the same time, the other boys can’t help but burst out into raucous laughter, probably waking up the rest of the dungeons.

None of them care.
