The problem with Ravenclaws- An Interesting Year

I love redheads! I am so attracted to redheads! I don't know why, I just am. Now that I have mentioned my problem, I can tell you my story. My 7th year at Hogwarts. The year started out the same way all my years have started out. I went to the train station, got on the train, and sat with my friends.

I really should introduce them. First, my best friend, Paul. We have known each other for 13 years. His parents call us the twins. Then there are my best girl friends, Luna (not Lovegood) and Sapphire. There is also, Aaron, Troy, Matt, James, and Jeff. We are all in Ravenclaw. We have been friends since our first year.

When I'm with the boys, I am fun loving and sneaky. We play pranks on kids, get in trouble, listen to music, and play video games. We snuck our X-boxes in and put spells on them to work in Hogwarts. James has a lap top, so we can chat and go on Gaia.

When I'm with the girls, I am feminine, outspoken, and cute. Not pretty or beautiful. I'm cute. Well, I'm 5 foot, long dark hair, big hazel eyes and very pale. I am very Irish looking. I'm half Irish and half British, so it works for me. Paul is also half and half. We have a lot of fun confusing people. We have the same last name. It sounds weird, Paul and Kristen McMullen.

Anyway, got on the train and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Weasley twins were gone. They were always our big competition. We would pull something and then they would have to do something bigger. Our target of choice- Slytherins. That was probably the only thing we had in common with the twins. They were more into being the class clowns whereas we are into getting in trouble. It's sick, I know.

You can imagine our surprise to learn that the twins had failed and would be 7th years again. I thought I was going to die. It's very bad when you have a strange attraction to your self proclaimed and sworn enemy. This year was going to be very difficult…

Once, the firsties were sorted, Dumbledore stood and gave his usual warnings and words of wisdom. He is the only authority figure that I like. Now, I respect quite a few of them. After all, I am a Ravenclaw. At dinner, I kept getting the feeling that someone was looking at me. I looked down the table, and Cho Chang was glaring at me. What a bitch! I have never done anything to her, intentionally. Maybe she doesn't like me because her x-boyfriend, Aaron, is one of my best friends. He told me all of her dirty little secrets. You should hear all of her bad qualities.

This is not the point though. The point is, this is going to be a long year.
