Chapter One.

I am standing on Platform 9 3/4, back for another wonderful year at Hogwarts. I'm looking for a rather large group of redheads. Normally it wouldn't have taken this long to find them. I continue to search for them for at least another ten minutes before I spot them.

"JAMIE," I scream while running. I then launch myself into the arms of my best friend.

"Oof," James exclaims as I knock him to the ground. "Nice to see you too Rena."

"Oops, sorry," I reply helping him to his feet. "I just really missed you."

"We can see that," says Louis chuckling. "No hug for me?" he asks pouting.

"Of course not," I reply sarcastically. "Why would I want to hug you?"

"Why wouldn't you want to hug me is a better question," Louis replies playfully before pulling me into a hug.

I roll my eyes and let go of Louis. I then pull Fred into a hug. "Hey Freddie."

"Hey Serena," He says stepping out of my arms. "How was your holiday?"

I have no time to reply because the next thing I know a blur of red has thrown itself into my arms.

"Hi Serena!" says the redhead.

"Hey Lily," I chuckle.

"Did you hear? Jamie talked about you allllllllllll summer! He just wouldn't shut up! It was ridiculous!"

"Really?" I say raising an eyebrow and smirking at James.

"Really," says Albus popping up beside me. "We were in Romania, home to dragons, and the only thing he could talk about was you," he snickers.

"NOT TRUE!" James shouts in protest.

"Its okay Jamie.." That was weird... Why is he upset? I am one of his best friends why would it be weird to mention me?

"Hello Serena dear."

"Hi Aunt Ginny!"

"How are you?" she asks smiling while pulling me into a hug.

"I'm fine."

"Hello Serena. You lot better get on the train. You don't want to miss it do you?" asks Uncle Harry.

"Of course not Uncle Harry." I reply grabbing my trunk and owl. We then head off to get on the train whilst shouting goodbye. Once on the train James, Fred, Louis, and I set off for the compartment we've been sitting in since first year. Once we are all settled I get out my notebook to write a letter to my cousin Lindsay.

Dear Lindsay,

We're on our way back to school to start our sixth year and I am so excited. I got prefect again as did Louis and Jamie is our new soccer captain.

I had to write soccer because my cousin is a muggle. She knows I'm a witch and all about Hogwarts, but her mum doesn't. See, my Mum is a witch and my Dad is a muggle. The side of my family I live with is my Dad's. Hence all the muggles. Soccer is really our code word for Quidditch.

Of course even though Louis and I are prefects we solemnly swear we are still up to no good as usual. I honestly have no idea why we were made prefects. McGonagall must have lost it.
Jamie is very excited about soccer. He reckons we can win the cup this year. There is no doubt in my mind that we will win.
How are you? I miss you all. Keep me updated on the family. See you at Christmas!

Love,
Serena

I take Mystique out of her cage and tie the letter to her leg. I then proceed to open the window. "Take this to Lindsay." I tell her as she flies through the window.

"Already writing to Lindsay?" asks James in disbelief.

"You can't possibly have anything to write to her about already," says Louis.

"Of course I do. I haven't talked to her for a week. I have plenty of things to tell her," I say.

"Oooh a week, you don't even write home every week," says Fred.

"Obviously. Why would I possibly write to my grandparents that often? Its not as if I have anything to tell them that will be of any interest to them." I reply coolly.

"True."

"Now that thats over, Serena we have to go to the prefect meeting," says Louis.

"Ugh, I don't want to go!" I whine.

"Honestly, why they made you a prefect is beyond me," laughs James.

"I know. Honestly." And with that I follow Louis out of the compartment.


Once we get there we see loads of Weasleys and Potters. Dominique, who is Louis's older sister, is head girl. His cousins: Molly is a 7th year prefect for Ravenclaw; Rose is a 5th year prefect for Gryffindor and Albus is a 5th year prefect for Slytherin. Their family friends, the Scamanders, are also prefects. Lysander is the other 5th year prefect for Gryffindor and his twin brother Lorcan is a 5th year prefect for Ravenclaw. So basically the family and friends of the Weasleys and Potters dominate the prefects and the rest of the school. There are just so many of us. After I say hi to all of the Weasley/Potter clan, I take a seat next to Louis and Rose. It isn't long after that when everyone is sitting and looking up at Dom and Justin expectantly. Justin Bones from Hufflepuff is the Head Boy this year. They start talking and I tune them out. I heard it all last year. All they do is explain what being a prefect means, the duties and such. It's rather boring. I'm staring up into space when I hear my name.

"And lastly are Louis Weasley and Serena Parker, Gryffindor 6th year prefects. You will be patrolling every Wednesday from ten to twelve pm alright?" asks Dom.

"Huh? Oh uh that's fine Dom," I reply smoothly.

"Great," says Louis.

Dom nods and starts talking to the 7th year prefects.

"You weren't paying attention were you?" Louis murmurs in my ear.

"Uh...no..." I smile sheepishly at him.

"Of course you weren't," he rolls his eyes.

I elbow him in the side. "Take that.." I mutter.

"Serena!" He whines quietly.

"Serves you right," I reply standing. The meeting is now over. "You coming?" I ask innocently.

He nods and we set off to our compartment. When we get there Fred and James are playing exploding snap.

"How was it?" asks James.

"Boring," we reply. I sit down next to James and put my head on his shoulder sighing.

"Tired?" Jamie chuckles.

"Mhmm... Wake me up when we get there." I reply before closing my eyes and falling asleep.
