Please read and review! As much as I wish I was, I am not the brilliant JK Rowling and only own my OC's!

Maybe before I go on with our story, I should describe my friends. I know what you're thinking: Oh look at you being all sneaky and putting in more backround to further understand the story. Why so nice of you to notice! So here we go with the convenient description of characters! Woot!

So I'm just going to go ahead and start with Maggie. Maggie Longbottom is the highly sarcastic, yet equally amazing daughter of Neville Longbottom. She absolutly hates her name (Margaret), so don't ever call her that unless you want to die a painful death. She doesn't really excell at school, but she's great at Herbology and not just becuase her dad is the professor. He pushes her extra hard becuase she is his daughter, but Maggie rises to the challenge. A way I would describe her is...relaxed. I've almost never seen her freak out, or lose her temper. She really just goes with the flow and doesn't let things phase her. I really admire her for that. She also always tells it like it is which is very helpful most of the time. Maggie's got this long, straight, golden hair that falls prefectly straight no matter what. Lucky. She has Chocolate brown eyes and a light speckling of freckles across her nose. Maggs (as she is sometimes called) isn't short, but she isn't tall either: Guys love her and despite her personality, she is completely boy-crazy. She's absolutly got the most street smarts out of everyone (besides Rose) and helps me keep a clear mind. I swear I would die without the girl and her sarcasm.

Jake Hamilton is the funniest, most optimistic kid you will ever meet. He's one of those kids that never has a raincloud over his head and smiles no matter what. Jake is nice to virtually EVERYONE no matter who they are. He is, however, the prankster of our group. He was an apprentice of Fred Weasley when he was here and has learned much from the kid. Jake loooooves to meddle (as you will see), but he always means well. You just can't stay mad at the kid! Pretty much everything that comes out of his mouth makes Maggs want to throw up, so I have no idea how they are friends. Sometimes even I get annoyed by Jake's sunny outlook on life, but if you ever need to be comforted by someone, he's your man. Jake doesn't get hords of girls (grrr) like Albus does, but he is a good looking bloke. He has light brown, curly hair, and dark grey eyes. He's a brilliant Chaser and a terrific friend. The peacekeeper. That's what I'd call Jakey.

Scorpius Malfoy. I know what your thinking: A Malfoy? How in Merlin's name are you friends with a Malfoy? But before you make any assumptions about him, let me tell you about him. Scorp is a great guy. He is super nice and super...not like his dad. Scorpius (along with the rest of us) was sorted into Gryffindor, much to everyone's surprise, and has really lived up to the house. He bravely stands up for younger kids and is a true and loyal friend. He's got his dad's platanum blonde hair and light grey eyes, but his eyes are always warm (unlike his father's). One thing that really marks Scorpius as brave, is that he fights with Rose. You need to have loads of courage to do that. See Scorpius and Rose used to never fight and be great friends...until last year. Rose started dating a guy from Hufflepuff and kept it a secret from Scorp (for some NOT obvious reason. Ya right) and Scorpius found out when he was on Prefect rounds and caught them snogging. Boy was that a fight. Scorp asked out some Ravenclaw girl and locked himself in an epic battle with Rosie, each flaunting their own fling in each other's faces. Becuase they totally didn't fancy the pants off each other and didn't get crazy jealous AT ALL. Right. Anyway they called each other some pretty nasty names and hex each other every chance they get now. They "tolerate" each other when we all want to hang out, but they are still fighting. Soooo stubborn those two are.

It only makes sense to tell you about Rose now. Rose is brilliant. She is a genius! I can't even imagine a smarter person (besides her mother). She has been one of my closest friends just as long as Albus has. She happens to be extrememly stubborn (see above), but that can be helpful sometimes. Her temper is scary. Seriously. DO NOT MESS WITH HER. Don't say I didn't warn you. She's just as feisty as her Weasley red hair and has got these beautiful carmel-brown eyes. Despite her temper, she is a great person and a great friend with a warm smile towards everyone (except currently Scorpius). She is super nice to everyone she meets (again besides Scorp at the moment) and will help you in anyway that she can. She keeps herself clean being the daddy's girl that she is and will always be a pair of ears waiting to listen to your problems without judging you. She always seems so strong, but if you know her, you can tell that sometimes she is fighting the urge to cry on the inside. This row with Scorpius really needs to be fixed.

Albus Potter is my bestest (yes it is a word) friend in the entire world. Something about me and him just click. He helps me through all my problems and is like a big brother to me. Although sometimes he can be a bit thick (but really what boy isn't?) he is smart especially when it comes to strategy. Al is not as cocky as his brother, but they both share the talent of being...lady's men (I blame Ginny). Girls fall all over him becuase of his messy (some may refer to it as "sexy") black hair and his piercing (some may refer to them as "dreamy") green eyes. He's also got this Quidditch body that...well we already went over that part of him. He would never cheat on a girl though! He may go through many of them quickly, but he's got a good kind heart and would never double-play one of them. Somehow Albus has this "gift" that leaves him on great terms with every single girl he breaks up with. I've got no bloody idea how the boy does it! He's a Quidditch prodegy and has made his own name for himself at Hogwarts. I love him. Strictly platonically though! Don't get any ideas! He will always listen to my silly rants and give me good advice. He's always there for me like a true friend.

Now I guess I have to explain myself. My realy name is Avalengelina Merrywhether Collins, but no way in hell have I told anyone besides Al that (I lost a bet...long story). I go by Ava becuase I couldn't spell my name when I was little and my real name is just ridiculous. My parents are Muggles as well as my younger sister Maria and my younger brother Gabe (the twins). Even though my family is made up of Muggles, they are really great. They think magic is great and except me for who I am. The tiny twins (I still call them that even though they are 14) write me letters all the time as well as my parents and would never fib about magic. I send them chocolate frogs and other Wizarding candy that they love on thier birthdays and they send me some new Muggle candies and clothes for mine. My parents are great friends with the Potters despite their Muggle status and are always up to showing some wizards how life is in the "Muggle world". I feel lucky to have such a relationship with my family. My Mum is a super model so thank Merlin shes a Muggle becuase I wouldn't want kids a school having picture of her or something gross. I think that becuase my Mum is a model, I'm the way that I am about my looks. Okay so I look like her. I'm not proud of it, but I do. I have dark brown hair that falls in soft curls down to the small of my back and side bangs that curve around the side of my face. I have an olive complexion that is usually tan and ice blue eyes. Like seriously my eyes look like ice. I find it creepy. I'm relativley tall and skinny. I don't find myself to be prettier than others, but apparently I am. My Mum's agent wanted me to model when I was younger, but since I'm not a girlie girl that squeals and giggles, I declined the offer. Before I went to Hogwarts, my Mum found out that her best friend had only been friends with her because of her looks and was using her. That really freaked me out and I never wanted anybody to do that to me so when I came to Hogwarts, I tried to make myself as unattractive as I possibly could. I put my hair up in a messy bun everyday, I NEVER put on make-up, I wear thick reading glasses (even though I don't need them), and I always wear unflattering clothes such as sweatshirts and jeans. You must think I'm a crazy person, but I just don't want to be used. It worked! I made myself somewhat normal looking and people don't give me a second glance. Yes!

So anyway thats a little about everyone. Ok back to the story!


After my whole 'oh Merlin Al is really good-looking and I'm screwed' phase, I went up to the dormitories and tried to act completely normal. My act would have worked if my friends weren't Maggie and Rose. Bugger. The moment I walked into the room trying to look casual and all, Maggie just had to be super perceptive.

"Ava you look like you just got hit by a bludger. What happened?" Darn her.

Rose looked up from her "book" (I thought it looked more like 20 books bound together) intrigued.

"What? What are you talking about Maggs? I'm fine!" I thought I sounded cool and collected. Guess not.

"No," Rose said. "Something definently just happened." She looked at my reddened cheeks (darn my blush!) and smirked. "It has to do with a boy doesn't it?" Stupid Rose and her brains.

Maggie looked amazed. "A boy? Finally Aves! So who is he? What happened? Did you snog him? Oh I bet you did! Was he good? Did he use tongue cuz' you know Ava you should never let a boy do that for a first kiss..." She continued to ramble before I stopped her.

"No! First of all it was nothing. Second of all I did NOT snog anyone Maggie" I sent her a death glare "And third of all IT WAS NOTHING!" I thought I made a good argumen, but Rose just has to be all smart and stuff. Bugger.

"You fell into a boy didn't you?" How the hell was this girl so SMART?

"How...how did you?..." Don't I sound intelligent?

"You keep brushing yourself off, you're face is red, and you can see fear behind your eyes." She said it so matter-of-factly.

Finally I just decided to tell them because I knew if I didn't, they might mention something to Al. I sat down defeated.

"Okay, so I kinda fell on top of Albus when he didn't have a shirt on...and I noticed that he has a particularly attractive body...and I kinda freaked out ok? BUT I DON'T FANCY HIM DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" Both girls gaped at me after my rant.

Finally Maggs spoke "It's ok Ava. Everyone knows Albus is hot, but we don't fancy him. Just...don't worry about it..."

I could tell that they were going to talk about this later without me before consulting me again, but for now I was just glad they were going to drop it. I decided to just let them start talking about this new revelation so I made some excuse about needing to get some air and went out of the common room. I wandered the halls a little bit until I again literally ran into a familiar person. Al steadied me with a huge smile planted across his face.

"Ava! I'm so glad I found you! I have the BEST news!" He looked so happy that his smile made me smile.

"Whats up Al?"

"I just asked out Allegra Harrings and she said yes!"

Oh Bugger.
