Hi everyone! I'm Nina, a.k.a. Little Longbottom, and this is my new fanfic. :) Sorry the prologue is kinda short, I'll make it longer though!


Ariana "Aria" Greengrass.

I opened my eyes and rubbed them. I felt a major thundering in my head, and I couldn't remember anything that happened last night. I focused on the red wallpapers of the room to try and think. Wait, red? It's supposed to be blue…I noted, thinking of the blue wallpaper of the Ravenclaw dorm rooms.

My eyes widened in realization and I shot up from the bed faster than you could say 'Accio'. I realized I was wearing a Gryffindor jumper along with very short shorts. How the bloody hell?

The door opened and I came face to face with one of my best friends, Rose Weasley. She smiled at me.

"Oh, you're awake." She said, tucking a piece of the famous Weasley hair behind her ear.

"Yes, and could you please explain to me just why I'm in the GRYFFINDOR dorms, wearing a GRYFFINDOR jumper, when the fact is that I'm a bloody RAVENCLAW?" I yelled, and then felt a hammering in my head which caused me to bury my head into a pillow lying beside me.

Rose sat on the bed. "Well, you drank a little too much when we were at Hogsmeade last night. You're actually very lucky that Louis offered to carry you back here since you passed out."

If possible, I was more shocked than I was a while ago. "Louis? Louis Weasley?"

"Is there any other Louis in this place?" She chuckled.

I groaned. Louis Weasley was a sixth year Gryffindor and the biggest player ever. With his messy blond hair and sparkling blue eyes, he has almost every single girl in Hogwarts kneeling at his feet. Every week he had a new girl with him, and this week, it was (unfortunately) my roommate Thalia. The only reason why I know him is because of Rose, Scorpius, and Al, my three best friends. Two of which, are his cousins, and one is a good friend of his.

"I hate life." I groaned.

"It's okay. Life hates you too." A voice came from the doorway. Well, speak of the devil. Louis Weasley was standing by the door, arms crossed over his chest, a smirk gracing his lips.

I buried my head into the pillow. "I don't need you right now, Weasley. Sod off."

I felt another weight on the bed. "Aww, so this is how you thank me for carrying your arse after you got drunk, huh Ari?"I could practically hear the smirk in his words.

"Shut up and don't call me that you twat!"

Rose sighed. "Lou, she has a hangover. Can you not annoy her for a while?" Louis sighed as well, and agreed, although grudgingly.

After he left the room, I lifted my head up from the pillow. "Shoot me. Please." I told Rose. She just laughed and shook her head.

"Come on. Let's get you to the Ravenclaw towers."

And if the Wizard God didn't hate me enough, I bumped into the second most annoying prick (next to Louis), James Potter. Just like Louis, this guy was a huge player and has his own personal fan club.

"Good morning Ariana! Aren't we very cheery today?" He smiled.

"Go away, James!" I yelled, only to cringe at the major thunderstorm in my head right now. He walked past me and Rose.

"Okay, but don't forget to give me back my jumper!" James said, cheekily.

Wow, more surprises! Let's list them down, shall we?

1. I got super drunk last night and I passed out.

2. Louis Weasley, out of all people, carried me back here.

3. I am wearing James Potter's jumper right now.

Oh joy.

I turned to Rose and whispered, "Kill me now, please?"

"No, Ari. I don't want to end up in Azkaban." She replied, with a small chuckle at the end.

I sighed and let her lead me to the Ravenclaw towers. When we got there, I changed into a t-shirt and shorts, and handed the jumper to Rose.

"Give it to James, and tell him to burn it." I said sternly. Rose rolled her eyes.

"Sure, whatever." And with that, she left. I plopped down on my bed and played with my wand. It was a pretty wand, if I do say so myself.

It was made from holly, 13 inches, with a dragon heartstring core, and it had ivy carved into it.

I contemplated on what happened last night and this morning. I feel like crap, I look like crap... I could probably be crap.

Right at that moment, Thalia walked in.

She was one of the most gorgeous people I have ever seen. She has curly bright blonde hair and pretty grey eyes. She plays Quidditch too. Compared to her, I'm just a speck of dust. I have brown hair and brown eyes, probably the most boring combination ever. I do NOT play Quidditch at all because I have pteromerhanophobia and acrophobia, which is fear of flying and heights, respectively.

I make a lousy witch, don't I?

So, back to the story.

"Ariana, I have something to tell you." She said, eyebrows knit in worry.

I sat beside her on her bed. "What is it, Thals? You know you can tell me anything, right?"

Thalia and I aren't exactly the best of friends, but we're really close, and living with her for five years (even though she was older than me) made us like sisters.

"I..." Thalia sighed. "Louis and I... We aren't exactly working out."

If that twat hurt her, I will punch his face in. "Did he hurt you? Did he cheat on you? Tell me so I can hex him!"

She laughed a bit. "No, Ari, it isn't like that. I just..." Thalia bit her lip. "I'm falling for someone else."

I raised an eyebrow. "Who might that be?"

"Lorcan Scamander. You know him, right? Lysander's twin?"

Of course I knew him. He's part of the school's 'hotshots', which mainly consists of the Potter/Weasley kids, along with Scorpius, Damon (Blaise Zabini's son), Connor (Cormac McLaggen's son) and his twin, Lysander. Although they're twins, Lorcan and Lysander look nothing alike. Whereas Lorcan was lean and muscular, Lysander was was quite lanky. Lorcan had blond hair like his mum, and Lysander had brown hair from his dad.

"Yeah, I know him." I told her. "How'd you fall in love with him?"

She shrugged. "I don't really know how it happened, it just did." She then got this dreamy look on her face, and I just nodded.

"Well," I said, patting her on the shoulder, "you'll figure it out eventually."

Thalia gave me a smile. "And besides, Louis and I are growing apart. He's getting more fangirls because of his position as seeker in the Gryffindor Quidditch team. It was just a matter of time before this happened. We all knew it was going to happen anyways."

I smiled at her as well. "That's the way to go, Thals. Keep thinking positive!" We both laughed. "I'm going to the library, you coming?"

She shook her head. "Nah, I'll just chill here. Catch up on my sleep."

I nodded. "Suit yourself."

After that, I left, heading for the library, all the while reminiscing on my first year here at Hogwarts. Back when life was easy and everything was so simple. I remember being sorted into Ravenclaw and making new friends, but now, everything is so complicated. I became a wallflower, no one really noticing me, except for Rose, Al, and Scorpius. Even my own housemates don't notice me, as I usually spend time in the library. Which is exactly where I'm going now.

Might as well introduce myself, right?

Hi, I'm Ariana Greengrass… and my life sucks.


There it is! Hope y'all like it. :) I'm still wondering what the pairings will be... Rose/Scorpius is definite, so watch out for that later on! Also, I'm looking for a co-author in this, so if any of you are interested, PM me. :)
