Josephine "Joe" Helling chased her younger sister, Paige, who was eleven, yelling at the top of her lungs. She was still clad in her pajamas, which had penguins on it.

"PAIGE! GIMME MY SHIRT!"

"Why should I?" Paige mocked, "You look like a whore in it, anyway,"

"God damn it, just gimme it! I don't care what you think I look like in it!" Joe bellowed.

"Paige!" Their mother, Vivian, called from the kitchen, "Give your sister her shirt back. She has to get ready for school,"

"Yes, Mum," Paige scowled and tossed Joe her shirt, who in turn missed it, "Smart one, Joe,"

"Bite me," Joe said picking her shirt up and dragged herself to her room. She took a quick shower and pulled her clothes on. She looked at herself in the mirror.

Her pants were too large for her, and were a red plaid, with a black spiked belt to hold them up. Even with it, they fell a little low. Her shirt looked like a large gray handkerchief had been tied around her and shape like a heart in the front. She knew what her sister meant by saying she looked like a slut in the shirt. It was low cut. You could see her black heart tattoo on the right side of her stomach. Her red hair was let down strait, and you could see her brown eyes from behind her black glasses. A few freckles were spread across her face, and her lips were covered in black lipstick. She had on black backless high-heels, which were basically hidden under pants, except for a bit of the front. [A/N: Go to to see it]

"Joe!" her mother yelled, "Come and fix your breakfast!"

Joe flew down the stairs at the mention of food. She grabbed a plate from the cabinet, as well as two bowls, a spoon, a fork, and a cup. She poured her some orange juice and sat it on the table. She made herself a bowl of cereal and sat it on the table as well. She place a piece of toast, some olives, and a bagel on the plate, put vanilla ice cream in the other bowl, and sat down to eat.

"That's nauseating, Joe," Paige scoffed, eating her own cereal, "Why can't you eat like a normal person? I swear. You eat like you're pregnant."

"Yeah, well maybe I am," said Joe sarcastically. Her father, Brian Helling, rolled his eyes at the normal everyday conversations, and then turned to Joe.

"You have everything?" He looked at her with a reprimanding face.

"Yes, Daddy," She said with a nod.

"Dungbombs, trick candy, Dr. Filibuster's Fabulous Wet-Start, No Heat Fireworks, Itching Powder," Her father ticked off practical joke items.

"Brian," Vivian scolded, "What he means is your books, your wands, your potion ingredients?"

"Yes, Mum, I have everything," Joe said, "Yes, Daddy, I have all my prank items,"

"Good, are you done?" Vivian asked. Joe looked at her empty plate and bowls. She nodded. Her father got up and hauled her trunk to the car, along with her owl.

Joe wasn't an ordinary girl. Well, she was in the magical world, but not in the muggle world. She went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she would be starting her 6th year with her best friend, Kenya Cecil. Along with Kenya was her boyfriend, Sirius Black, and her other friends, James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin. Sirius's brother, Leo, was a friend as well, and also Keny's boyfriend. All of them were in Gryffindor, one of the houses the school had.

Joe grinned at the thought of seeing her boyfriend. She hadn't seen him since the beginning of summer vacation because he and Leo had to go to Paris with their parents. Joe peered at her owl that seemed to be giving her a death glare.

"Sometimes I wonder about you, Nemo. You always seem so mad at me. And I didn't even do anything," Joe pouted. She shook her head, and went up to her room and lied on her bed, listening to music while she waited to leave. She glanced around the room she wouldn't be seeing for awhile. Its walls were white, but sketches and poems and whatnot covered them.

"I'm gonna tell dad you have a boyfriend!" Paige's voice sounded very obnoxious from the doorway. A horrified expression crossed Joe's face as she sat up.

"How did you-" Joe cut off as Paige held up Joe's diary, "You- little- I'm going to kill you!"

Joe had her wand and was going after Paige in a split second. Paige took off, Joe close behind.

"MUM! DAD! HELP! JOE IS TRYING TO KILL ME! AGAIN!" Paige cried.

"Joe, don't kill your sister," was Vivian's calm reply to Paige's cry for help.

"FINE!" said Joe, and then her voice switched over to where only Paige could here, "I'll just leave you terribly wounded,"

After Vivian came to the conclusion that she probably should save her youngest daughter, she managed to catch Joe's arm.

"Josephine Sue Helling! Leave your sister alone! And put your wand away! I don't want another not from the ministry! Honestly! At least the last one was simply about drying your hair; just like your friend Keny's."

"Mum! She read my diary!" Joe looked ticked.

"Paige," Vivian looked at her youngest daughter.

"Joe has a boyfriend!" Paige responded.

"Don't be silly," Brian's voice came from the doorway, "Joey isn't like that. She wouldn't have a boyfriend until we fully discussed it. Right Joe?"

"Yes, daddy," said Joe in a sweet voice, "I wouldn't do anything like that without your permission,"

"That's what I thought," Her dad smiled, and looked at Paige, "Now stop trying to get your sister in trouble and give her back her diary,"

"Fine," Paige scowled and handed Joe her diary, "I promised Lydia I'd come over. I'll see you later. Love you. See you in a long while, Joe,"

"Okay. Call us, though, so we know how long you'll be gone, Love you to," Vivian and Brian said in unison.

"See ya, Paige," Joe smiled sweetly at her sister, and went up the stairs back to her room. Paige scowled, and left as well.

Joe smirked as she sat on her bed, and took out a pen beginning to write in her diary again.

Dear Diary,

That was extremely close. Paige stole you, and of course, she read you. Which meant she found out that Sirius is my boyfriend. And I don't exactly have permission to date yet. Bleh. Everyone else does. I chased after her, and I was going to kill her or hex her or something, but Mum stopped me. Paige tried to get me in trouble by saying I have a boyfriend, but my parents didn't believe I'd do such a thing without their permission so I got off free. Paige got in trouble a bit for getting me in trouble. Backfired on her, eh? She went over to Lydia's. Damn. It's been awhile since I've talked to her. We used to hang out together about a year ago. It's weird how time goes by so fast. I'm off to my 6th year of Hogwarts really soon. I only have one year left after this. Creepy. Oh. Dad's calling. Gotta go.

-Joe

Joe sighed and hurried downstairs. She went to the car and sat patiently waiting to get to school. The trip was a long and boring one.
