Chapter One

1st OF September, Hogwarts Express

James Potter!

How did he get to be head boy?

He must of blackmailed the teachers or tricked them somehow. Surely know one in their right minds would've made him head boy, he's so irresponsible and big-headed. It should've been Remus Lupin.

No one in their right mind would make Potter head boy! Stupid Potter!

I was so excited when I got my head girl badge, and working with Remus this year. I mean Remus and I worked together when we were prefects. Then Potter goes and spoils it Stupid bloody Potter!

He's going ruin my year-my final year!

Thank Merlin, Lacy and Edith are here or else my year would be completely ruined. They were totally sympathetic when they found out James Potter was head boy.

They understand why I detest him so much. Lacy, her brother (my ex-best friend. Successfully ruined , through the indirect actions of Potter) Severus and Edith met me in a carriage they had saved for us.

"Did you get head girl?" Was the first sentence out of Lacy's mouth. I laughed nodding. Lacy was always blunt, she always had been. Both girls squealed and hugged me. Severus scowled and kissed his sister's cheek.

"See you Lace," He growled walking off.

"Bye Sev," Came Lacy's voice muffled.

Edith was crying I could tell from the wet patch on my back. Edith stepped back searching for a handkerchief in the pocket of her skirt. Her short brown hair was messy and her round glasses had been knocked askew by the hug. I let go of Lacy, and surveyed the both of them.

Lacy had grown two more inches and now towered over Edith and I. Her long black hair was tied in a tight plait. He hair too had grown longer. She look gorgeous as usual, wearing a long lilac colour skirt and a white blouse. Edith; had cut her hair and permed it, which was all the fashion right now.

I'd personally never do it to my fire colour hair. It would look disastrous! Could you imagine?

Anyway, Edith had it just below her ears and above her chin. She was too wearing a lilac skirt and a white blouse with a lilac caragain lazily hanging off her shoulders. She had got a tan over the summer.

Lucky girl! I never tan. I freckle. It is really sad. Ever since I worked that out I have slopped on the sunscreen every summer. So no more freckles, but on the downside also no tan.

Edith wiped her face "Oh, I missed you guys!'

"Me too, I only had Petunia and her boyfriend; Vernon, for company," I said My big sister; Petunia had been none to pleased when Mum and Dad said they were leaving me in her company while they went on their silver anniversary to Greece. I stuck up a deal with Pet through. If she let me have the kitchen to practice my potions, I wouldn't tell Mum and Dad what I walked in on.

Not that I would ever want to repeat it. I mean, Ew!

Lacy hugged Edith, around the shoulders.

"Me too, Ed," She smiled

"Hello Evans" Came James Potter's voice from behind me.

Ugh Potter! He has thick messy black hair and chocolate brown eyes.

All females seem to think he name is a cinnamon for sex god. I disagree. All I see is ugly deliberately messy hair and a ego bigger than a Quidditch pitch. He is such a jerk.

Stupid Potter, it doesn't help that he insists on continually asking me out! It's like he enjoys ruining my years at Hogwarts or something! I spun around sighing

"Potter" I say shortly. Before turning to face Lacy and Edith again. He grinned as if me saying his name, made him the happiest man on earth.

"How was your summer?' He said. God damn it! Potter can you not tell when your not wanted?

"Fine," I said, stubbornly.

"Mine was okay.." He started

He just won't give up will he? I'm going to have to put up with this all year aren't I?

"...Would have been better if you were there." He finished. I choked down a laugh.

"Potter, that is so pathetic," He grinned once more, bowed and walked back to his insane group of friends. I swear he gets weirder every year. Time to make a list I think.

Top Five Things I hate about James Potter:

1) He instincts on continually asking me out

2)He and Blacks womanising habits

3) He's a nasty bully and needs to be the giant squids boyfriend.

4) He died my hair blue that first week of third year.

5) He tugged my plaits and said carrots like Gilbert did to Anne in Anne of Green Gables. In first year.

Stupid Potter, my day was going so good too! I'd got up to my alarm for a change. You wouldn't believe how rare that is, I'm a bear for my sleep. I never wake up to my alarm. To make it even better, Petunia wasn't up which meant I had the bathroom for as long as I needed. I didn't cut my legs shaving. Not even my knees!

Mum made me French toast. My favourite breakfast. I didn't drop my trunk once. I should've known it was too good to last.

Yet as soon as I hop on the train ...Potter ruins it!

Who does he think he is?

Ruining MY seventh year!

THIS IS SO NOT FAIR!

James Potter, the boy in question. Thinks the opposite of what I think about him, I know that for a fact. He thinks he is the best thing since house elves.

Unfortunately so does the rest of the world except for me and Lacy's twin; Severus. Which I guess doesn't help James ego. His ego is what drives me nutty. Among several other things of course. He is just a messy haired, glasses wearing, stuck up idiot.
