I t was that time off the month (no not my period) no, but my birthday its just another day off the year to me and once again I'm another year older, so why doesn't my life end now? She says melodramatic to herself I mean I'm not getting any younger and don't want to end up looking like mom though I'm going the right way about it. Shitface is now making my life a living hell. Why? You may be asking yourselves well I will tell you:

He's home for the summer. He's taking the piss out off my pimples, my brace filled gob and my wild hair that refuses to be tamed.

Adam is the brother every sister has I am the only one who has christened him with the name Shitface purely because he's always in a mood and never smiles, he hates me calling him that, buts its in policy on the sisterly contract which I was first gifted to me once I was a fertilized embryo.

But any day now I wait for my letter to come through for my invite to attend Hogwarts witch craft and wizardry and that holds another statement in which both my policy and future promise to Shitface comes in; to embarrass him as much as possible while he remains at Hogwarts. As my sisterly rights and acts remain in place I can proudly say, revenge is sweet! And with my quiet attitude around people they would think that I Louise Thompson couldn't possibly annoy my bro as much as he complains.

But today Shitface seems almost nicer and I find it a little scary to cope with, but when we return to Hogwarts Shitface will be in 4th year and I will be moving up into the world. Scary. Shitface was talking with me about what he wants to do when he leaves school; he wants to become an Auror, ah bless him I'm so proud (wipes away fake tear).

O well at the moment were having a traditional English breakfast with: Black pudding, bacon, sausage, eggs, beans and the all-important fried beard. Me and Shitface are kicking each other under the table and glaring daggers at each other, mom is grinding her nails into her legs jesting to are step dad Mark to do something but he's to busy eating to care.

"Stop it!!" shrieked the mother suddenly, and then we both stopped it and went back to eating.

Soon our shit machine came in through the open window, our parrot named Precious don't really no what mom saw in her to call her that and with her she carried: two small presents, a load off cards and the prize, the one thing I was waiting for. The letter. I snatched up the letter and started reading.

Dear Miss L. Thompson, bla, bla, bla you have been invited to attend Hogwarts witch craft and wizardry, bla, bla, bla you will need the following items...

"Wow can you believe it IV been accepted!" I shrieked into Adams ear.

"Has that letter come from Beauxbaton's mom?" groaned Adam, I stopped my cheering and glared at Adam.

"No it hasn't, come on we'll take the floo to Diagon alley" said mom

"NO! Mom" said Adam anxiously "Can't we leave it near to the end off the summer, I'm just coming to terms with the fact she's coming to Hogwarts to make my life a living hell, please, please let me enjoy at least half this summer with knowing she has not even got her stuff and has nothing to do with Hogwarts! Please mom I beg you" sad sod getting down on his hands and knees "Don't let me think about the misery she will soon cause and have night mares that she will be annoying in my sleep I felt comfortable at Hogwarts its my only place I can keep sane"

"O shut up and don't be stupid," said mom helping him up off the floor "It's better to be prepared"

After flooing to Diagon Alley mom and I had a girly day leaving Shitface and Mark at home, we headed to Madam Malkins Robes where I was measured for my Robes and buying a few others for my birthday presents. After a few more shops and packages mom and I went into the Leaky Cauldron, ordered a few Butter beers and sat in the corner drinking them. Soon mom was grasping for breathe when she saw a black woman walk within the pub with what looked like her daughter at her side, they both had distinct features they both had; a round circular face, with arched eye brows, full pouting lips, a narrow nose, black hair though the girl had red streaks going through hers, they both had almost black eyes and where slim with a farley sized bust. I was jealous with my ironing board 34 A size I admit to stuffing issue down them, my tissue tits.

"Oh Frankie" shouted mom pulling all attention to her in the pub I put my head in my hands, the black woman instantly turned to face her.

"Maz!" shrieked Frankie in all excitement both got up and hugged one another I looked up at Frankie's daughter who's eyes almost bulged out off her head, she to was embarrassed and came over and sat next to me.

"Hi"

"Hay, so that's your mom" I said

"Yeah normally she's cool, but your mom disrupted that"

"Sorry"

"Na, it's ok I new she couldn't hold it for long I new she would embarrass me"

"My moms just the same" said I

"Do you want to come to the Quidditch shop with me I hear the new whisper is out"

"Yeah sure just got to tell the hooligans where were going, if they notice were gone" I got up and stalked over to the mother a bit miffed that she said that it would just be me and her today "Mom were going to the Quidditch shop"

"Yeah, yeah okay honey," said she, so we left them to there mothers meeting to attend the quidditch shop, it was a really cool afternoon I found out that her name was Angelina, but I could just call her Angel, she also had a sister which she hated named Charlotte, apparently she also went to Hogwarts but was in 5th year now. While we walked we talked about all types off shit that crossed are minds, we went to Fortescues Ice-cream Parlour and shared a big choke and smoke ice cream between us, what it is; is a big banana split that you start to choke on but then it evaporates within your mouth leaving you a nice liquid taste that slides down your throat. It was really weird feeling, may be that's what its like when a guy kisses you when he uses his tongue.

Soon our mothers came and found us we departed our separate ways we were very much alike, now I probably wouldn't see her again until we attended Hogwarts.

5 weeks and 4 days later

"Get up my Lulu," said mom you could tell within her voice that she had been crying, 'My babies are growing up' that's what it was like all last night I didn't need to worry about packing it was done at the beginning off the summer, I opened a lazy eye cursing under my breathe the light shone through the curtains. Then remembering.

I got up in excitement today was the day, the day off all Hogwarts days to come, yes, I put on my yellow vest top and jeans and ran down stairs to have breakfast, waiting for me at the bottom off the stairs was my Hogwarts trunk. I stopped in mid-rift there was something missing, though I can't quite put my finger on it, somehow last night Reuben must have gotten out off his wicker basket and found his favourite spot on the settee, sprawled out. I entered the living room.

"Mom!" I yelled she came in an instant "Wow that was quick"

"Yes honey I will always come to my little girl, now what's wrong?" questioned mom

"Why isn't Rubs in his basket?"

"Don't know, I new we should off bolted the lock on it last night he's going to refuse to go in now, o dreary me" said mom I gave a huge sigh, walked over to him and tried to pick him up, but as soon as he saw me come near he darted across the room to hide behind the side board.

"Mom"

"Yes honey right on it" mom left the room to fetch Shitface's broom to try and poke Reuben out off his hidey-hole. Reuben was a grey cat with blood red eyes they reminded me off rubies, he was a male cat so I couldn't call him ruby so thus become off Reuben. Mom soon had him out from behind the sideboard and now all that was left was for me to catch him, easier said than done. I chased him all through the house managing to not over one off moms best vases, then soon I had him corned we looked one another in the eyes Reuben was knackered I could see it as was I, something I didn't expect happened. Shitface walked into the room saw me and the cat walked over to Reuben, picked him up and carried him to the basket, placing him in side it. Reuben the traitor nasty, nasty cat he's mine not Shitface's maybe it was just that Reuben was knackered! Yeah that's it because he never lets anyone near him other than me.

"How? How?" I questioned astonishingly Adam stood there with a wide cheeky grin upon his face showing me his white teeth "If you put some charm on him I swear I will curse you"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah" said Adam sarcastically "I'm sure you will in oh... let me think 5 years"

"Didn't you no Shitface that sarcasm is the lowest form off wit," I said in my pissed off voice.

"Yeah mom tells me all the time," He said leaving the room to help mom load the car and I still hadn't had any breakfast.

4 Hours Later

We arrived at Kings cross at 10:30 and I was ready to run through the brick wall between nine and ten, mom was finishing her lecture to Adam to keep an eye out for me and to get me out of any trouble and If I was then it was Adams fault. Now the entire burden off me was upon Adams shoulders. As soon as mom finished with Adam he ran through the wall before she could say anything more, as for me she wiped away her last few tears and told me to behave but secretly I vowed to make Adams life miserable.

I at last ran through the wall and saw the scarlet steam engine was waiting at the platform it was packed, I spotted my brother with his friends and a load off girls surrounded him. This was my chance to start my embarrassed sister act I ran up to him and stood there next to him, his friends started to giggle.

"Who's this Adam? Your secret admirer?" One off the girls questioned trying to stifle back laughter Adam stood there ignoring the question "Adam I asked you a question" it was obvious that this girl was a bitch.

"Th-this is my sis-sister Louise" he managed to stutter embarrassed off me I felt betrayed in a way he was ashamed off his own sister, well who wouldn't with me and my ugly mug.

"She's your sister, this creature is your sister?" said another girl, that hurt, Adam obviously had a lot off female friends, but what hurt the most was that Shitface stood there and said nothing. I stared up at him could feel the tears start prickling and where threatening to fall. Shitface nodded.

"That's what I said," said Adam

"I was expecting the looks to run through the family, Thomo" said a lad with a Scottish accent "She's got a face like a an arse wipe, she's fugly"

That did it I glared at all off his friends and ran onto the train what I was more disgusted was he just stood there letting it happen, I also did nothing letting them walk all over me. I found an empty cabin at the end off the train and there I cried my heart out, after 20 minutes off crying I couldn't do it any more the compartment door opened and there in the door way stood Angel.

"Oh, Lulu what's wrong?" she asked concerned

"Shitface, that's what's wrong!" I snapped Angel came over and pulled me into a hug "Sorry Angel didn't mean to snap it's just, I thought I might start my promise to Adam, that I would embarrass him in front off his friends, in stead it happened to both off us at the same time"

"What happened?" she asked puzzled

"His friends made fun off me and he just stood there and let them do it he never stood up for me," I said taking in a deep sigh trying to get over myself I mean I usually do, people take the piss out off me all the time. I should be used to it now!

"Come with me I've found a compartment where they are laughing there hearts out, their are year to" with that Angel hauled me to my feet she took my hand and led me out to the other end off the train not having to guess any further which compartment she was leading me to because it was the one with the most noise coming from it.

I walked in and instantly I new who the red heads where the Weasley twins iv known them since I was three years old, my mother was best mates with Molly Weasley. We always send each other joke Christmas cards I hadn't seen them in years not since I helped them turn Ron's teddy bear into a spider. As soon as they saw me there faces lit up.

"Well, well what have you found here Angel?" questioned Fred getting himself up off the seat.

"I t looks to me we have a stowaway" joked George at Fred's side

"How on all off platform nine and three quarters could we lose our Louie?" questioned Fred.

"One because she was hiding away in a corner" joked Angel

"Well you no me not one to course any trouble," I said Fred and George burst out into fits off laughter I glared at them.

"And what's so funny?"

"Your a silent" Burst out Fred

"Yes I know that!" I snapped at Fred

"Yeah, I silent trouble maker that's why we love you so much" said George taking me into a bear hug, I love them both there like the brothers that I never had, apart from Shitface that is.

"Let us introduce you to the rest off the gang" said Angel prizing me out from Georges grasp "This is Alicia Spinnet" she pointed to a black girl sitting in the far corner "This is Lee Jordan" pointed to a black lad with really cool dreadlocks, sitting next to Alicia "And this is Katie" Katie sat next to Lee, she was; a faired haired girl with blue eyes, she basically had angelic features. She was beautiful.

Half way through the trip to Hogwarts Angel and Fred where flirting continuously between me, I had to breathe so I stood up and went to the door.

"Where you going Lulu?" questioned Katie

"Just going for a walk, want to come?"

"Yeah sure"

"Me to" said Alicia

"I suppose that I will have to come to then want I?" said Angel I nodded.

"Well, yeah I suppose I mean you've been bashing your eyes at Fred all the Train journey so far" After I said that Fred blushed to the same flaming red as his hair.

We walked along the Train and found an empty compartment we opened up the windows and let the cool air cool us down from the heat off the train. Soon the trolley lady came; we all brought some thing right after we brought something a certain Scottish lad came up to our compartment and the girls stopped eating and began to giggle.

"What's Wrong?" I whispered

"It's Oliver Wood he's the Gryffindor house quidditch keeper," said Katie in full admiration.

"My brothers the Captain for Gryffindor house," said Alicia

"Wow, you must be really proud I wish I could say that about my brother" I said we all giggled they all heard about Shitface and what he didn't do they all thought that he was a coward. The Oliver turned his attention to our way, he saw us all huddled together in a group, giggling.

"Well, well I suppose use are talking bout Healthy (Scottish slang for good looking) old me," said Oliver I looked over at him.

"This is an A and B conversation and your C so see yourself out off it" I snapped I heard the girls gasped I glared at Oliver, he glared back I walked over to the doors and slammed the shut on his face. We heard a huff and with that he was gone.

After that no one talked to me they new that I was upset we where soon changed into our Hogwarts robes and where well on the way to actually getting into the main building, I couldn't wait, I wanted to know the house that I was being put into I want; to be smart enough for Raven claw, but also brave enough for being a Gryffindor. But then again Shitface is in Gryffindor as is his horrible friends. I believe.

Soon the train came to a halt and we went out into the corridor to join the queue that had formed to get out on to the platform, as soon as we got out onto the plat form the cold night air grazed our faces sending shivers down our spines and the goose bumps to form on our smooth skins.

"Firs'-years! Firs'-years over here!" shouted a giant like man.

We ran towards the man I recognised him as Hagrid I saw him in one off Adams pictures that he showed me off Hogwarts, we where soon making our way down a dark narrow path, we arrived at a dark lake where boats where waiting to escort us across it.

"No more'n four to a boat," said Hagrid I jumped in with Angel, Katie and Alicia, we where soon on our way the boats went across the lake of though floating on air. In the great hall students where eating talking merrily happy to seeing school friends and asking how there summer was, us first year students came in one by one, we all listened to Dumbledores speech and waited patiently for the sorting to begin. Then finally it came. Soon it was my turn.

"Umm" what was that? Now I'm hearing things, a voice in my head "Good knowledge into witchcraft, could be good for either Ravenclaw or Slytherin" I wanted to be in Gryffindor with Angel, Kate and Al, I most certainly didn't want to be a Slytherin "Not Slytherin! What do you think your to good for them girl?" Yes, yes I do I am better than them, I'm not evil I have friends "Then for you it will have to bee..."

"Gryffindor!" shouted the hat.

Yes, yes I was in! A Gryffindor these were to be the greatest days of my life, a Gryffindor, but then Shitface is in hear with his friends, why should I worry about them? I don't have to put up with any shit that they through at me, if not I could hide away but that's not very Gryffindor, now is it?
