A/N: Hey guys! This is my very first fan fiction, so don't judge me too harshly, but reviews are more than welcome!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or anything here you recognize. They belong to the lovely J.K. Rowling. Although the characters you don't recognize (Audrey, Rylie, etc.) are mine.

Happy reading! Hope you like it! :)

"Audrey! Get up! You'll be late!" mum screamed through my bedroom door at me. I groaned then rolled over to see the clock said 9:00 a.m. I groaned again, pulling the covers over my head.

"Just five more minutes..." I said sleepily. It was my sixth year at Hogwarts and I was more excited than ever.

"NO, I'll not have you late. Breakfast is almost done, so get up!"

I groaned again, but finally got up. I pulled on some skinny jeans and a yellow t-shirt with black threading. I took one glance in the mirror and thought "EW." With a flick of my wand, my platinum hair curled perfectly down to the small of my back, my chocolate brown eyes were lightly lined with black eyeliner, and my full lips had just a little hint of a shimmery gloss. "Good enough," I thought.

After eating breakfast with my parents, we loaded up the car and were off to King's Cross Station.

"Do you have everything?" my mum asked.

"Yes, mum."

"Wand, robes, books?"

"Yes, mum."

"Dress robes, cauldron, brooms?"

"Yes, mum." I sighed. Just like every year, mum had to go through her giant mental checklist to triple check I wasn't missing anything.

"Alright, now just so you know, you really need to focus on your grades this year, not just quidditch. Especially focus more on potions-" my dad began his normal get-good-grades-or-else speech.

"I know, dad." I said with a smile. They only did it because they care.

Once we finally arrived at King's Cross Station, cutting my dad's lecture short, we got all of my things out of the car and loaded them up.

I turned to my parents, "I'll write you as much as I can. I love you both." I said while giving them both a huge hug.

"Well, isn't this a lovely sight?" a male voice said from behind me. I recognized the voice as my good friend, Oliver Wood.

"Yes, and thank you for interrupting." I retorted with a smirk.

"Keep that up and you'll be the new Malfoy." Oliver said back. He always had to have the last word.

"Quit tormenting her, Wood. I don't want my best friend's sixth year to start off like shit." said my best friend and fellow Hufflepuff, Rylie.

"Thanks, Ry. It's wonderful to see you!" I said while hugging her. "How was your guys' summer?"

"It was.. Well, I'll have to fill you in tonight." said Rylie.

"Mine was perfect as usual, filled with nothing but Quidditch, just the way I like it." responded Oliver smiling widely.

"Oh, really? Expect to finally beat me this year?" I said.

"Maybe. You've been practicing too, I suppose?" Oliver asked.

"Of course I have, and I'm more than prepared to kick your arse." I said.

"Challenge accepted." Oliver said with a wink while he pulled me into a hug. "I've missed you."

"Ugh, don't get all soft on me now, Oliver." I said, although there was something very comforting about being this close to him. It made me want to not let go.

"Alright guys. Let's load up now. We'll miss the train." said Ry.

Once I helped my friends get everything loaded up, we found an empty compartment and sat down.

"I'm going to go find Lee." said Oliver as he got up to leave.

"Wow, Audrey. Have you noticed something new about Olli this year? He seems.. hot." Ry said.

"Wow, Ry. Have you noticed that you're loosing it? He's like my best friend besides you. Nothing's going to ever happen between us like that."

"I don't know, Drey.. Did you see the way he was looking at you? I think he likes you!" Ry smiled and winked at me.

"Oh please, don't start that. You know all he cares about is quidditch."

"And you." Rylie stated.

"Whatever." I said as Oliver came back into the compartment with Lee.

"What'd I miss?" Oliver asked as he sat down next to me, Lee next to Rylie across from him.

"Oh nothing..." Rylie lied with a smirk while looking over at me. I groaned.

"Guess that means I really don't want or need to know." Oliver said.

"Exactly. So I heard you got voted captain this year? Congratulations! So did I. Competition is ON." I said to Oliver.

"Looking forward to it, Dericotte." Oliver only called me by my last name when he meant business. I just laughed.

"You really need to loosen up." I laughed again.

"Hey, when I'm a professional quidditch player and you're not, we'll see who's laughing." Oliver said.

The long ride to Hogwarts continued like that the whole time. All of us talking about quidditch, Rylie zoning out the window, and Oliver and I making cheeky remarks to eachother back and forth. The whole time I just kept thinking, "This year is going to be perfect. I just know it."

If it sucks, I'm really sorry. :p Again, this is my first fan fic, so reviews are wonderful! xx
