AN: hey guys, this is my story thats been in my head for MONTHS! sadly, my Charmed fanfic is on hiatus for now, but my best friend, Hawaiinpunchgirlie, is forcing me to continue this story no matter what! (she's insaaaaaaaane ;) ) So tell me what you guys think! Read & Review! All comments are welcome!

p.s. this is the real, full summary:

My name is Amelia Prince, but if you value your life you will call me Lia.

Some people would say that I have quite a unique bunch of friends. But the truth is, we cant live without each other.

First there's Paige, the one who can comfort you through anything and everything.

Next is Fin, who's quite possibly the sweetest guy you can ever meet.

Then there's Belle, who can make your enemy run for their life with a single look.

After that are the twins, Emma and Ethan, who are complete opposites you would never know they were related if they didn't look exactly like each other and have the same diabolical mind.

Then there's Freddie, who's can be the biggest prat you've ever met sometimes, and then make you smile 3 seconds after you scream your head off at him.

And lastly, there's James. Harry Potter's son, prankster extraordinaire, my best friend beyond belief, and quite possibly the boy I am falling in love with.

These are the people who make up my extremely un-normal life. And to think it all started with a train.

Did I mention I have 2 annoying brothers, 3 shallow sisters, a brother-in-law who never fails to cheer me up, a pregnant sister-in-law I love to death, AND my mother's getting married? AGAIN?

Seventh year's going to be fun. Notice my sarcasm?

Merlin help me.

~Lia~

My name is Amelia Prince, but if you value your life, you will call me Lia. My life is………well, lets just say its crazy.

I have 2 brothers, 3 sisters, a brother-in-law, a sister-in-law, and soon I will have a little niece or nephew. My oldest brother Rob and his wife Lizzie want it to be a surprise.

Okay, since we are on the subject of my family, lets talk about my siblings. Rob is 23, and after him is 20-year-old Katy. Katy married Greg and they don't have any children. Thankfully. A little Katy would be the death of me.

Then there is Zoe, she's 19, then me, I'm 17. After me is 15-year-old Nikki and lastly my 12-year-old brother Alex.

And yes, there is no way my mother can handle us all. She's much too interested in her love life.

Or rather the lack of one.

My mother has been married 3 times. Sadly.

Rob and Katy are from Mum's first marriage, to a man named Jon. Zoe, Nikki, and I share the same father, Christopher. Dad is actually the only man my mother married who still keeps in contact with his children. And Alex sadly never even knew his father. Will was a wretched man, and left after Mum announced she was pregnant. I think that's why we all protect Alex so much.

Anyways, I'm rambling.

Rob and I are really the parents of our family, because Zoe is too promiscuous and Katy is too…… Katy.

Rob is my favorite sibling, and then Greg. Its really very sad that my sisters cant rank #1.

Oh well.

Rob is my confidante, first and foremost, and then James. Oh, did I forget to mention?

James Sirius Potter is my best friend. Yes, I said it. And now I am looking for said best friend.

How, you might ask?

Why, look for the crowd of red and occasional blonde, black, and brunette hair that is the Weasley Clan and Co.

……….I found it.

And now the black speck that was James was running towards me.

Oh Merlin.

Before I could even say anything, my feet left the ground and my arms were wrapped around my best friend's neck as he spun me in circles. "James, put me down, you saw me two weeks ago."

He immediately dropped me and I felt arms wrap around me from behind. "I missed you too Freddie." Fred chuckled and grabbed my small suitcase as James draped an arm around my shoulders and dragged me to the Weasley Clan.

I was pummeled by hugs and cheek kisses from the adults and children alike. Lily, James' little sister, was saying something about how much she missed me while I was home for the last two weeks of summer.

Dominique, one of James' many, many cousins, was saying something about how she wished she had my brown hair color instead of her dirty blonde.

James smiled as I hugged Molly and Victorie tightly. "Alright, well, this has been fun, but we students have to go now. Go and get educated and all that. Lets go, you lot." Freddie herded everyone away from the parents, and we all clambered onto the train and went our own ways to find our own friends.

Freddie, James, and I went straight to the back of the train, to our usual compartment.

In first year, we found out that the very last compartment was the largest in the train, perfect for eight people plus mountains of unhealthy snacks.

It really is a blessing that I don't ever gain weight because really, all I do is eat like a fat pig. Its quite sad really.

Anyway, the three of us walked into the apartment to see four of the other five people in our group.

Paige Alexis Wood, daughter of the famous Oliver Wood and Katie Bell, was the first friend I made on the train to Hogwarts, and then I met Freddie and James when they just barged into our compartment and sat down like we were invisible.

But that's a story for another time.

Paige has auburn hair and gentle brown eyes, contrasting from the twins sitting next to her.

Emma Catherine and Ethan Christopher Thomas were two very gorgeous people. They were absolutely stunning with their black hair and blue eyes. I swear, Ethan has girls on his arm everyday, and Emma would too (boys on her arm, not girls) if she wasn't as easy as her brother.

And then there was Michael Dean Finnigan, but we call him Fin. He has brown hair and brown eyes, but he is freakishly tall compared to my shortness, so we look quite strange walking together.

The second Paige saw me she pounced on me like a lioness on a gazelle. OW!

But, I hugged her back with the same fierceness, and mumbled "I missed you so much" into her shoulder. I felt arms wrap around the both of us and I added, "You too, Em."

Behind us, the boys sarcastically whined "Awwwww" causing the three of us to break apart and look at them with raised eyebrows. Emma and Paige went back to their seats as James sat next to Fin, and I next to him.

Freddie sat across from us as the doors burst open and the blonde haired, green-eyed creature that is Isabelle Selena Lewis shouted "I missed you all so much!" promptly fell over Freddie's, Ethan, and Emma's laps, her head landing in Emma's lap, in true Belle fashion.

You see, Belle……………well……some might say that she isn't right in the head, but I love her anyways. There was a moment of silence before we all burst out laughing.

Just then, the train whistle blew and we started moving. "Let me guess," Emma said, "Your parents took too long with the kisses goodbye and you ran here as fast as humanely possible?"

Belle, still breathing heavily, managed to get out "Uh-huh."

Freddie, Ethan, and Emma shared a look and simultaneously pushed Belle off their laps, making her fall to the floor, much like she does every morning as she literally rolls out of bed. She didn't move from the floor, but mumbled "Ow. Oh, hello floor. Its so nice to see you again. How was your summer?"

We all cracked up, and Belle lifted herself into a sitting position, and leaned back against my legs. I started playing with her hair, braiding it and whatnot, as we started exchanging summer stories.

James and Freddie spent the summer at home, with their family, and me, as always. Paige spent the summer in Greece with Belle's family, because Belle's parents wanted to take her and her brothers to see their grandparents, and Paige's parents wanted to take a vacation alone. Eww, people over the age of forty should not have sex or go on a "second honeymoon", especially if they have teenage children.

Emma and Ethan stayed with their father in Spain this summer (their parents were never married, but they switch which parent they stay with every summer), and Fin had gone to all around Europe, because………….well, his mum wanted to go. Enough said.

The trolley came a few minutes into Freddie's explaining of one of his dad's new products. Of course, our trunks had a few of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes products, even though they were forbidden.

As usual, we bought about 20 of everything, I swear, we are the Mrs. Abner's (the trolley lady, we learned her name in fourth year) favorite customer's, for the sole reason that the trolley is about 30 pounds lighter after we are done with it.

So, here we are, currently debating our famous First-Day-of-School Prank. Paige still thinks its ridiculous and inappropriate, so as always, she's reading a classic novel. This year its "Pride and Prejudice". It's amazing that a girl born of Quidditch legends barely rides a broom.

But then again, she is Paige.

"I think we should do it in the Great Hall," Ethan put in. James immediately declined.

"No, we always do pranks in the Great Hall. Its expected of us. It's our last year at Hogwarts, and it needs to be totally unpredictable." I nodded in agreement, and I suddenly got a great idea. "The stairs!" I gasped.

And of course, everyone looked at me like I was insane (which I HAVE to be because I'm friends with these people), so I decided to explain. "We should hex the stairs. Make them turn into……a giant slide!"

James looked at me with such admiration, I thought he would kiss me. "Lia, you're brilliant!" he shouted.

I grinned and said, "I know."

~Lia~

We all walked out of the Gryffindor Tower to see kids sliding everywhere, smiles on their faces. We all grinned and set down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

However, we all winced when we heard Minnie yell out to the entire hall, "Potter! Prince! Weasley! Thomas! Wood! Lewis! Finnigan! Detention! All of you!" Paige and Fin, who weren't involved in the prank, glared at James and I. "It was worth it!" we cried. They still glared.

IT WAS WORTH IT!
