"Lil-lay time for you to wake-Oomph. HEY!" Doesn't she know it's not nice to throw shoes at your best friends? Oh well, I guess she's not too happy about having to go back to school. I mean you wouldn't be either if you had some creepy four-eyed quidditch 'star' -and I use the term star very loosely- stalking and annoying you everyday, would you? With a very exasperated sigh I turned back to the sleeping mound of Lily Evans, "I'm going to take my shower now, I suggest you do the same, unless you'd rather wait till we got to Hogwarts, then you could share a very steamy, very nude shower with a Mr. Potter…" I barely missed the book that was aimed at my head.

I think Lily has an obsession with throwing things, maybe I should take her to a therapist… Oh glorious showers. Who ever invented running water was a complete genius. After my normal 30 minute shower I hopped out, grabbed a towel, and walked back into my room to see a fuzzy red head rummaging through my school trunk.

"Ummmm Lils, do you need help going trough my personal belongings? Or are you managing alright on your own?"

She turned around to grin at me. "I'm doing alright Kayl, thanks for asking."

I gave her a blank stare.

"Kaylee, you are too gullible. I was actually looking for your green Hoodie."

"Which one? The one that has the thingy on it?"

"No no, the that you got when we went to that one mall."

"Oh that one, it's in my closet hanging next to my black skinnys."

"Thank you!"

"You know while you're in there can you throw my purple Converse into my trunk?"

"Yeah, then I'm gonna take a shower, could you get me some coffee?"

"Sure thing." I said as I threw on my white robe and wrapped my hair in my towel.

I trudged down the stairs almost tripping over my brothers little wiener dog. Lily and I were staying at my older brother, Adams, house. He normally moves around a lot, but had relocated to Italy since I decided I wanted to spend my last year of school at Hogwarts, instead of my American school, with Lily. I know Italy isn't really in the same region of Europe as England, but he's always wanted to visit Italy and my mom doesn't have to know he's not in the same country I'll be in. Right? Anyhow its strange really that that my brother and I are both wizards, considering the fact that we're Muggle born. He's about a year and a half older than me, already out of school and has a job as an Auror. Which is also a little shocking, since he's Werewolf. I most certainly have nothing against Werewolves, I feel it's the person you should judge, not what they can't help but become once a month. But, sadly, the rest of the world doesn't share my thoughts.

I jumped down the last three steps and into the kitchen. Giving Jason, my brothers best friend and roommate, a quick "Good Morning" and hopped over to the fridge and pulled out some bacon. Oh sweet sweet bacon, how I love thee. Let me just get something straight right now, bacon is about the best thing that was ever created in this beautiful world. No other breakfast meats can compete with it. Adam says I'm gonna have heart problems when I get older because of all the bacon I consume. And I usually retort with a "Shut Up" or a "Your Face" you know something genius like that.

So I got the bacon-a-frying and turned around to put some coffee in two traveling mugs.

"Hey Jason, what time are we leaving to catch the train?" I asked

"Ummm like 7:30ish I think."

I looked at the clock on the microwave, 6:52. It's good thing Lily finds bacon as delicious as I do, cause I don't have time to make her pancakes. Did I happen to mention I am an excellent cook? It's true. I grew up in a very small, country town in Pennsylvania on a farm. And every year, since I was 10, I'd enter a cooking contest at the local fair. I normally took first or second place. I'm very proud of that.

"Kayl," Jason said, "your bacons burning…"

"NOOOO NOT MY PRECIOUS BACON!"

I ran to the stove and grabbed the frying pan off of it. It still looked good. I actually like my bacon a little crispy. With a sigh I put my dear burnt, but still yummy, bacon on a plate, grabbed a few chocolate chip muffins out of the pantry and got mine and Lily's coffee. Then I headed back up the stairs while Jason mumbled something about waking Adam up.

"Oh Lil-lurd! I gots some bacon, coffee, and muffins!" I sang.

Her head poked out of the my bathroom door, "Chocolate chip muffins?"

"Is there any other kind?"

You see, Lily and I are so much alike. We both obsess over the same things, such as bacon, chocolate, skinny jeans, music, and parties.

We both had/have creepers. Hers being James Potter, whom I've never met, but she complains about him constantly. And mine was a boy named Austin who I met in muggle school and who also happened to be muggle-born. Lucky me huh? I recall he told this one kid that, and I quote, "I knew Kaylee was the one for me when I first laid eyes on her." And that was when we were 10. I can honestly say I never had a conversation with him. He was a new kid at my muggle school and I looked over to see what he looked like and that's it. He apparently took it in a more serious way.

Also, Lily and I are completely different than most girls our age. We like to take responsibility over hard situations. We don't care about the latest gossip or who won the Quidditch Match last night. Lily and I have our whole futures mapped out. And we know where we're going and what we're gonna do when we get there.

Now before you get all judgmental and think "Oh great, what a couple of party animals we got here." I'd like to let know that we do know how to have fun and we do have fun. Why do you think Lily was so cranky this morning? Well I'll give you a hint, I can handle hangovers better than she can. Plus I always party when ever I can. Lily says she doesn't when she's at school, but I think that's just because she's only really herself around me.

Anyways we both get really good grades and are top of our classes. She's Head Girl this year. And apparently Dumbledore, the Hogwarts head master, thought I was suitable enough to take her place as a Prefect. Oh yeah, and we're both in Gryffindor.

I had to go see this big man, I think his name was Hagrid, at the beginning of summer to see which House I'd be put in. And I got to be in Lily's house.

"Why is the bacon all crispy and black?" Lily questioned, awakening me from my day dreams.

"Wha- Oh, I wasn't paying attention to it and well, you see what happened next." I answered sheepishly.

With a roll of her eyes Lily stood up and started going through my closest. I don't mind that she goes through my things. We always share clothes.

"KAYLEE, LILY! IF YOU AREN'T DOWN HERE IN 15 MINUTES, WE'RE LEAVING WITHOUT YOU!" Came my brothers cranky voice, did I mention he's not a morning person?

"I have to go dry my hair," Lily sighed.

"Same here," I said.

I stood in front of my full length mirror as Lily walked back into my bathroom. Stupid hair dryer. I can't wait till I'm aloud to do Magic again.

I started drying my hair the same time I heard Lily's blow dryer go on.

I guess I'm pretty average looking. I hair dark brown hair, that I dyed to a light brown, and it comes to about the top of my boobs. I have dark brown eyes and I was once told that my eyes were really big but they looked good on my face. (I think they're normal size.) I'm not tan at all, but I'm not pale pale either. I'm really short, which I get from my mom's side of the family. I'm about 5'2". I have big boobs, thanks to my mom's side of the family again, and I don't have a huge butt, but I do have a butt. I'm skinny, not freakishly skinny though. And quite frankly I'm surprised at my skinniness cause I eat so many fatty foods. But I guess I should be grateful to that. (I don't think I could give up fried chicken or cake or…..oh God, I could never give up chocolate.)

I started to straighten my hair and Lily walked out of the bathroom looking as she usually did, Beautiful. All she had to do in the morning was dry her hair and put some lip gloss on. I, on the other hand had to put, cover-up, eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss on. And I only ended up looking half as good as she did.

After I finished putting on the make-up, I packed it away in my trunk made sure I had every book, bra, sock, quill, etc that I would need.

I walked over to my closet, which Lily was once again rummaging threw., and started looking for an outfit. I decided to wear a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, that came with their own holes! I paired them with a bright happy yellow Hoodie -its surprisingly cold out for summer- and of course matching yellow converse. Did I mention how much I love converse?

Lily wore some black skinnys, a light blue American Eagle shirt and some blue flip flops. Lily is about 5'4" and skinny. She had bright orange hair and an awesome temper to match it. She has some little freckles sprinkled across her nose and bright green eyes.

"Hey Lils? I thought you were gonna wear the green Hoodie." I said.

"No I just wanted to make sure you took it, just in case." She smiled.

I smiled back and grabbed my trunk and headed downstairs with Lily right behind me.
