A/N Hey! Okay, a few things. The POV switches a few times in the beginning chapters(probably until like Ch. 7 or 8; undecided). You'll see why it changes..

Another thing: I'm giving a 2 chapter starter! So, Please read and Review. My friend has been the guinea pig in this whole experiment.

Bare with me, and I hope you enjoy Slipped My Mind! :D 3 DU

Chapter 1 - Out of The Ordinary Morning

The Kennis' were a pretty ordinary family, with a mother, father, son, and a daughter. The father was named Robert Kennis. He was tall with dark brown hair that was thick in his youth, but has been slowly growing thinner. His face sported slight wrinkles on the corners of the his mouth, but his eyes were still a brilliant sky blue.

He often wore his favorite jeans with the knee fabric filed down and any t-shirt his wife left hanging neatly in their closet. But for work he had to wear uncomfortable black dress pants and jacket with a white button up shirt. His pens and eye glasses usually hung neatly in the front pocket, and his wallet in the inner pocket. It was such a habit, his wife laid it all out for him perfectly every morning.

Mrs. Kennis was an average height woman, with hair so curly and blonde that it would give Shirley Temple a run for her money. She was a homemaker and her favor thing to wear was a colorful, frilly apron. She had all sorts of different patterns and colors, and thought it necessary to wear one always. Whenever Mrs. Kennis notice a spot on anyone's shirt she would say "Wouldn't happen if you wore one of my aprons!" followed by wiping her hands on her own apron. Her eyes were a vibrant green, with growing crows feet, but still had a young look to it.

Mr. and Mrs. Kennis have been married for 22 years, and although they lived normal, everyday lives, their two children on the other hand did not lead such normal ones; not at least by Muggle standards. The Kennis' son, David, and daughter, Ariel, both attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and learned about all sorts of magical creatures and people. Mr. and Mrs. Kennis both knew that regardless or not that their children were wizards, graduated from Hogwarts, and got wizarding jobs, they were still their kids, and loved them endlessly.

David, the eldest brother, graduated from Hogwarts six years ago. He played on the Quidditch team and was considered rather good at it, later getting recruited to professional Quidditch team. He moved out two years after finishing school, deciding that he needed to get out on his own and got a small home in the Hogsmeade village.

Ariel Kennis was four years younger than David, but she adored him. She was completely thrilled when she got her letter from Hogwarts, and couldn't wait to get to go to school with her big brother. To her dismay, they weren't sorted into the same house.

She was now 19 years old, finished Hogwarts, and Ariel still didn't know what she wanted to do with her life. Spending most of her days at home, watching the telly, wishing she was the girls in the movies falling in love and being swept off their feet to their happily ever afters. . .

Ariel woke up in the early morning like always. Giving a big yawn before sitting up on the side of her bed, she picked up her clock: 8:13 am. The summer sun was shinning right through the window next to her headboard.

She stretched her left arm over her head, then the right, stood up and put her hands together and touch the ground. After some needed back cracking, sliding on her slippers, and turned to the bathroom. Flicking on the light, she turned toward the mirror and gave a jump.

"Ah, good morning Ariel. Looks like YOU need a good hair brushing." She said to herself, looking at her normally neat blonde hair, clumped in random areas of her head. Moving just inches from the mirror, she examined her face whiling making weird expressions. "Why do you sleep like a monster? A nice shower should clean that right up."

Ariel stepped out of the shower twenty minutes later, wrapped a tower around herself and went to her night stand to get her wand. She walked back to the bathroom, flicked her wand and hot air came from the tip, drying off the mirror. Setting her wand on the counter, she took out a brush from a drawer and began to brush out all the kinks of her hair, flying droplets of water hit the mirror and counter top. Picking up her wand and sending more hot air out to dry her hair.

Ariel felt a lot fresher and ready for her day, regardless or not whether she actually going to do anything. Putting on a horizontal grey and white shirt with dark blue jeans. She sat on her bed, looked at her clock again: 9:04 am. Ariel signed, it's going to be a long morning she thought.

Tap, tap, tap. Ariel heard a noise coming from outside. Tap, tap, tap. She stood up, and looked out her window. She saw nothing but a small puff of brown sitting outside of her window. Ariel shrugged and sat back down. Tap, tap, tap. Jumping up, and stood in front of the window, waiting for the noise to come again. Then, the little puff of brown stared tapping on the window. Ariel then realized what it was.

Ariel opened the window and in flew a tiny brown owl who looked like it had just went through a car wash. It landed on her bed, making a tiny hooting noise. Ariel sat next to it and put her hand out, the little owl hopped on it.

"Well, good morning, Cariya. What has Ms. Black sent me today? Or should I say Mrs. Weasley" Cariya was a Scops owl belonging to her friend Laniya. Ariel and Laniya were in the same year at Hogwarts, but Laniya was in a different house. She was the adored by her aunt Walburga Black when she was a baby, but if her aunt hadn't died years before Laniya went to school, she would have most likely been disowned for being a Gryffindor. Ariel had the opportunity to go to Laniya and George Weasley's wedding this past summer.

Ariel took off the tiny scroll of paper off Cariya's leg, and opened it:

[:::]

Ariel groaned, went to the bathroom and grabbed her wand off the counter and returned to her bed. Because Cariya was so small, Laniya often enchanted the parchment to fit around the owls leg, but making it impossible to read. Ariel pointed her wand at the paper and said "Engorgio." The parchment then grew larger. She picked up the paper and read it again:

Morning! Hope Cariya was able to make it to your house properly.

I tried that hot air charm on her after George thought it would be

funny to spray water all over her. She got really poofy - obviously.

Anyway. I'm coming over today. Have an announcement!

See you then, Cheers.

Laniya Weasley

P.S. Be there around 9:15

Ariel looked at her clock quickly: 9:16 am. A loud crack broke the silence in Ariel's room. She turned around and a girl with short burgundy hair stood there with an excited look on her face.

"Morning Laniya, nice of you to join me. In your...completely self invited...visit." Ariel said, looking around her room, scared of what Laniya was about to say.

"AHH!" Laniya said loudly and so suddenly Ariel flinched. "Guess...what."

"What?" Ariel said as eagerly as should could.

"As you know, George and I got married -"

"Is that what that whole ceremony was about? I thought we were having a really fancy tea party." Ariel said sarcastically.

"Ha. Ha." Laniya said, rolling her eyes. "What I'm trying to say is...I'm pregnant!"

"Merlin's beard! Are you serious!" Ariel said leaping up to hug Laniya.

"Yes, ma'am! George and I are gonna have a baby!" Laniya and Ariel began to jump up and down squealing.

"I'm so excited for you." Ariel said, letting go of Laniya. "Blimey, you lot don't wait around."

"Honeymoon baby." Laniya said laughing. "What can I say. Ahh, Cariya. You're still a puff of feathers.."

Cariya made a hoot that sounded close to a hiccup

"You're so lucky to have a great husband and having a baby!"

"It's alright, dear. You'll have your adventure." Laniya said, giving Ariel a hug. "Okay, well I have to go and tell the others and send dozens of owls to people. See you later. Come visit some time!"

"Cheers." Ariel said. There was a loud crack and Laniya was gone.

Ariel groaned and flopped down on her bed, facing the ceiling. She stared at the blank white roof, thinking about what she was gonna do. She was growing very bored of her daily routine. Wake up, take a shower, and sit around. All she wanted to do is go out and have some fun, forget out things. . .

"Ariel. Ariiiel!"

Ariel sat up; her mother was calling for her from downstairs. She walked across the room and opened the door. "Yes, mum?"

"Ariel, Come down here please! David's here!" Her mother called up in excitement.

"David is here?" Ariel said to herself. She hurried out and closed the door behind her, running down the hall.

"David!" She yelled, and everyone turned to the stairs to see Ariel descending in such a hurried fashion, she tripped on the last few steps and tackled the man standing by the foot of the stairs.

"Oh goodness, David!" She said, holding tightly after falling into him. "We haven't seen you in -"

"Ahem. Good to see you to, Ariel" Said David, but not from the man she was clinging to. Ariel's eyes shot open and turned her head to where to voice came from to see her brother standing, not underneath her hugging grip, but by her parents, who were laughing silently. Scared of who she was really hugging, she slowly turned her face toward the strangers, giving her the final unfortunate proof that it really wasn't her brother. She quickly let go, bring her arms stiffly to her side.

Ariel looked at the awkward standing man, she could feel her face growing red from embarrassment. Oh great, she thought, to make matters worse - he's gorgeous. . .
