Hi guys this is a quick note so people know how this story has been written and by who. I'm writing from the point of view of Addi, I'm Emily by the way ( the most awesome out of me and my friend ) and my friend Natasha will be writing from the point of view of Linny. So I hope you enjoy this story about two best friends and their crazy adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

Prologue

ADDI

The bell beeps five times in a row, signalling that it's the end of yet another class that, despite what all the teachers say, will not help me at all in the future. I reach into my pocket for my timetable, but instead find broken pencils and a soft, mushy Chapstick that I throw straight in the bin.

I turn to the kid behind me, knowing he is in practically all of my classes, and ask him what I'm in next.

Maths. I'm in Maths.

I head out of my biology class, checking my watch to see how much longer I have before I'm free. Forty-five minutes left and I'm done.

I start heading up the stairs towards the maths department but I am quickly ushered away by a teacher who informs me that this is a down stairs not an up, as if the sign with the large downwards pointing arrow wasn't enough for me to understand. I start to apologise before realising that I will probably never see her smug little face again.

I debate on asking my best friend Linny to ditch before deciding against it as her mum can be a bit bat crap crazy sometimes.

Having a short mental argument with myself, I turn around and walk in the direction that the large arrow tells me to and don't stop until I am no longer on school grounds.

Unzipping my bag, I take the letter I received a couple of weeks back out of my bag before shoving my bag and blazer into the nearest bin. I then walk towards the spot Linny and I have made our own.

I look at the crumpled piece of paper once more, puzzled over how the hell I'm supposed to get a fucking cauldron, before shoving it back in my pocket and turning the corner to where I would meet Linny.

I walk down the lane and slump against a red wooden fence, throwing stones in the air and catching them again.

I must have been sitting for nearly an hour before Linny strolls up the pathway.

"Why hello there, sugar puff!" Linny exclaims making her way towards me and enveloping me in a tight hug. I stand up to greet her.

"Hello Miss Emlynn," I curtsy to her, smirking at how annoyed she looks when I use her full first name. Apparently Emlynn is 'too sweet and innocent a name' for her.

I start backing away from her as she starts lobbing stones at me.

"Okay, okay, stop!" I shout at her as we sit back down on the rocky pathway. I try to muster as much courage as I can to have the conversation I'm about to.

"I have something to tell you," I announce, taking a seat opposite her.

"Can I tell you something first?" Linny asks, suddenly interested in one of the stones lying on the ground.

"Sure," I reply. "But no more compliments okay? I've already heard them all today."

I watch as she inhales deeply, laughing at how easy it is to anger my best friend.

She suddenly becomes very still and serious, which isn't like her at all. "I'm moving to a boarding school after summer," she says, all hint of joking now missing from her voice.

"What?!" I exclaim, taken aback by what she's just said. "But who am I supposed to-" I stop, realising what this means.

"I'm coming back every holiday though so we'll still see each other tonnes, okay?" I look at her worried face and laugh at how perfect this situation is.

"No, it's great! We'll get to spend all our holidays together meaning the pranks we pull will be way more special and planned out. And I won't have to look at your irritating face day after day."

I stand up pulling Linny after me. My face is turned up in a smile whilst hers looks solemn and serious.

"Are you fucking shitting me right now?!" Uh oh. Once angry Linny bursts out of her box she isn't the easiest to nail back in. "I'm not going to see you all year and you're already throwing a party to celebrate me leaving?"

As realisation hits me, I start to explain to her that it isn't like that but she won't listen to me. Instead, she storms out of the alleyway and walks up the path that leads to her house, never looking back once.

Thanks to my stupidity, I've probably just lost the only friend I have in the world.

And just like that my summer is ruined.
