1. Preface

Preface

MADELINE

My name is Madeline Evangeline Clyde-Jones and I am eighteen. I don't have any siblings, my dad used to say why try to improve upon perfection? My dad, he's Christopher "The Club" Clyde-Jones and is one of the most infamous gangsters to ever own London, and let me tell you, he did own this dinky town, but now he's serving a life sentence in Wakefield, a maximum security prison in Yorkshire. My mum was a slag who abandoned me and my dad when I was three. French bitch. My best friends in the entire world are Molly, the awkward smart one, and Miriam, the d.u.f.f.….Oh god, don't tell Molly I said that, or Miriam for that matter. Then, why would you tell her I said that? Now that would be cruel. Besides, I didn't really mean it. Anyway, alone we are nothing but together we are the Mmm's. Ya know; like when you see a super hot bloke walking down the street and you are like Mmm mmm mmm, well that's what people do but at us.

My name is Maddy, my life has been hard. I'm a fighter.

MIRIAM

My name is Miriam Gwyneth Dursley and I am eighteen years old. I have a younger brother named DJ, short for Dudley Junior. He is fifteen and a holy terror. My father is Dudley Dursley, Sr. He is the Department Head of Intercontinental Company Acquisitions and Trades, European Division of Grunnings. I have no idea what he does for a living. My mother is named Sophie, and she a home maker, we don't talk much, not about anything important. My best friends in the entire world are Molly, she's the bright one, the beautiful one, the kind one, and Madeline, the fiery one, the passionate one, the one to never give up. Together we are the Mmm's. No quite sure why really... Oh well.

My name is Mimi, my life has been happy. I am totally average.

MOLLY

My name is Molly Elizabeth Weasley the Second and I am eighteen. I have a younger sister named Lucy, who I love (in spite of myself sometimes), she is thirteen years old and will make me look like the hideous old maid of the family, with her curly light brown hair that never frizzes and big green eyes that most of my family have, nope I just got the red hair, it's the only way you might guess I am actually part of the family. My father is Percy Weasley and he is the Head of the Department of Magical Transportation at the Ministry of Magic, my sister and I are very proud of him. My mother is named Audrey, she is patient and graceful and beautiful; she is everything I wish I could be. My best friends in the entire world are Madeline, the rebellious one, and Miriam, the sweet one, I guess I am the smart one? Together we are the Mmm's. I know its kind of pathetic but whatever, we have fun. And besides it's nice to not feel so alone all the time.

My name is Molly, my life has been complicated. I am a squib.
