Hi!
This is my new fic! Please read my other fics, and review darlings!
This is dedicated to my Best friend Shinae, and two of my other good friends, Sarah and Laura, and yes, we are mostly like this in real life, magic and Hogwarts aside. Shinae and I smoke. wag and drink alcohol, Laura's the outsider and Sarah's the goody-two-shoes religious one. that's just us. Of course, Shi and I hang out with different people, but we're still all really good friends, becuase we all rock! And all the other main characters, like Pansy, Draco, Millicent, and Zabini all have their personalities based on some of my friends. Real Life Friends of mine, see if you can guess who!
Please, if you find anything offensive about this, to do with the drinking, smoking, bad language, and maybe even cutting, don't hesitate to tell me. And if someone doesn't like my constant use of italics. I just love italics at the moment. The first names are real in this, but the last names are just ranodom ones, but they're somewhat simialr to our real ones, just to keep us somewhat anonymous.
Love to ya's.

Nikole
Name: Nik and Shi Adventures
Summary: as two best friend Slytherins travel through their sixth year, they manipulate Snape's new regime, and survive the wrath of the Carrow's by partying it up, wagging class, and smoking in the bathrooms. Did I mention the Pure-Bloods with a fetish for muggle classic rock music?
Chapter One: Boarding School
It was the summer holidays. August 12th to be exact. Shinae, Laura, Nikole and Sarah are sprawled out on the floor in Shinae's new room. Shinae had recently moved next door to Nikole and the two best friends were extremely pleased with the new living arrangements.
"I can't believe how long this summer has seemed." Laura said, aiming a kick at Nikole.
"I know" Sarah muttered, and she looked over at Nikole "Grow up you two" she said, glaring at the abusive twosome with her chocolate brown eyes.
"But just think. On September first we'll all be starting new schools. All separate. How did it become that we're all going to Boarding Schools overseas?" Nikole said, ignoring Sarah.
"Yeah. It's kind of weird" Shinae agreed. "How do you think I'd look with purple hair?" Shinae asked, fluffing her brown hair. All of the other girls laughed.
"Awesome. I'm thinking about going black personally." Nikole commented running her fingers through her straightened brown hair thoughtfully.
"Emo!" Sarah exclaimed, pointing a threatening finger at Nikole, and Nikole shrugged.
"Well Laura and I have to go; my mum's picking us up now." Sarah said, and the two girls sat up, and headed out of the door.
"Yeah, I have to cook tea tonight, so I better go too" Nikole said, and after hugging her best friend, went outside, and took the gate through to the next property.
The First of September came very quickly for the Quartet. All of them were going to Hogwarts, without one another knowing. Nikole and Shinae were pureblood and Laura and Sarah, half-blood. Nikole had turned up early, since she had Side-Along Apparated with her mother. She was sitting in a compartment, already in her robes, reading a Defence against the Dark arts textbook. Shinae had just arrived, being dropped off by her father, and she were looking through the Compartments for a place to sit.
"Nik?" she asked, as she entered the compartment where her best friend sat, utterly confused.
"Hogwarts Shi?" she replied, grinning.
"The one thing we couldn't tell each other as best friends turned out to be the one thing we had in common." Shinae said, looking around in a day dreamy way.
"Nik? Shi?" Sarah was standing in the doorway, brown hair tied up as usual, and trunk in tow.
"Sarah!" the two girls exclaimed, running towards their friend.
"And Laura" stated the only blonde, Laura from behind Sarah, and all the foursome squealed again.
"I can't believe were all going to Hogwarts!" Nikole squealed, and hugged herself.
"So are you guy's purebloods or muggle borns? I'm a pureblood" Shinae said, looking at her friends.
"Pureblood" Nikole muttered
"Half-blood" Laura and Sarah said in unison, and they grinned at each other.
"What house do you want to be in Shi?" Nikole asked in interest and the two half-bloods looked at the others in confusion.
"Houses?" Laura said, looking at Nikole to answer.
"There are four houses, that have your dorms, and common rooms, and you share classes with the people in your house. There's Gryffindor, for the 'brave', Slytherin for the cunning and wicked, Ravenclaw for the clever, and Hufflepuff for the friendly ones. I hope I get Slytherin, all of my family have been in there for generations." Nikole explained, and looked at Shinae.
"Slytherins also. My mum's side of the family has been in there for almost a hundred years. And My dad's side has been mostly Ravenclaws" Shinae answered her friend's silent question.
"Slytherin too! On my dad's side, but he hasn't told me much about Hogwarts, he's always on business for the Ministry, he's in Magical Co-operation" Sarah chipped in.
"I hope I am, I don't want to be a loner! Most of my mum's side have been Hufflepuffs, but my mum and granddad were both Ravenclaws, I didn't even know about Hogwarts until I got my letter, since my mum died ages ago, and my dad's a muggle." Laura said, and when everyone else laughed when she said Hufflepuff, and Nikole rolled her blue eyes at Shinae, Laura went red, but when she mentioned her mother, all of the laughing ceased.
The train managed to keep going into the pouring rain, in the dark towards Hogsmeade Station. When the train stopped, the four girls, holding hands so they wouldn't lose each other, they wrestled through the crowd.
"First Years! First Years over here please!" Someone was shouting, and the girls made there way over.
"All here? Alright, follow me" the teacher instructed, and all of the eleven year olds followed down a steep path to the edge of a massive black lake. Little boats were gathered at the edge of the lake.
"No more than four to a boat!" the teacher yelled, and the four best friends made their way over to a boat, all climbing in cautiously.
"This is going to be awesome!" Shinae said, and Nikole agreed.
The boats slowly made their way across the lake, and they got their first sight of the castle.
"Wow!" Laura said.
"Amazing!" Sarah echoed
"This is better than mum described!" Shinae gushed
"Yay!" Nikole screeched, and she jumped up and down, and the boat rocked dangerously.
The boats all nudged the shore, and everyone clambered out of the boats, and followed the teacher lady up the grassy slope to the massive oak doors that closed out the classroom. After going through the orientation instructions from professor McGonagall, the group entered the Great Hall to be sorted.
"Burke, Nikole!" McGonagall shouted, and after a hand-squeeze from Shinae, she tip-toed forward nervously, and put on the hat.
"Well, well. Slytherin ancestry, very strong Slytherin connections, you'd make a good Ravenclaw too." The sorting hat whispered, and Nikole thought nervously to herself. Slytherin please! "Well then. SLYTHERIN!" the Hat shouted the last word to the hall, and Nikole eagerly rushed to the Gryffindor table, which was clapping loudly. Further down the list, McGonagall shouted out,
"Daemon, Shinae!" and Shinae ambled forward.
"SLYTHERIN!" the hat shouted within seconds, and Nikole whooped, and Shinae squealed before running down to her best friend.
"Neil, Laura!" was further down the list.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" the Hat shouted, and Laura groaned. Nikole and Shinae giggled at Laura's misfortune, as she trudged towards the table two tables over from them.
" Watts, Sarah!" was third to last on the list, and she walked forward nervously, placing the hat on her tidy brown hair.
"SLYTHERIN!" it shouted after a few minutes, and Nikole and Shinae shouted out in excitement, hugging their new house-mate, and giving Laura looks of sympathy.
Through the feast, they introduced themselves to several people in their house. Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini were incredible looking second years, Millicent Bulstrode and Pansy Parkinson were also second years and were really friendly. People in her year included Patrick Parkinson, Pansy's younger brother, and Theodore Nott (I know he's actually in the same year as Draco and the trio, but bear with me right?)Then later on they met Max Avery and Lillia Yaxley. Lillia was sharing their dorm.
"So, Shi, What class are you looking forward to most?" Nikole asked her best friend, who rolled her hazel eyes at her.
"Classes? Charms, and Transfiguration mostly. What about you?" Shinae said, helping herself to dessert.
"Defence Against the Dark Arts, for sure. Sarah?" Nikole replied, who was picking at a piece of chocolate gateau.
"Potions." Sarah stated, eating treacle tart.
"Bit of a bummer that Laura got put in Hufflepuff isn't it?" Shinae said, and she grinned at Nikole, who was shaking her head.
"It was kind of obvious she'd end up there, they're all a bunch of losers." Nikole said, and the two girls giggled, while Sarah hid her smile.
The common room was amazing. Seats around tables all around the room, with a large crackling fireplace, and a large spiral staircase leading to the dormitories. The dormitories had four-poster beds, and their trunks were already up there at the foot of their beds. Collapsing into their respective beds, they fell asleep almost instantly.
I know this chapter is short, but since it's an intro chapter, the others will be longer.
Next Chapter:: A massive Room of Requirement bash, and getting caught caught smoking by Snape!
