Chapter 3-----

Mackenzie's POV

I'm worried I'm an insomniac. I mean, seriously, what normal person is still up at 3 in the morning and isn't tired and/or doing homework that they had procrastinated? Oh wait, I'm still not used to the time difference. In Arizona, USA, where I live for the summer, its only 8 at night there, while its 3 am in England.

Quietly, so as not to wake Rose, Sasha, Olivia, and Sophie, I creep into our dormitory bathroom. Ho hum de dum…whatever shall I do? Then, I notice my reflection in the mirror. My hair is just so boring, the color of dirt. Rose's hair is a pretty brown, with its natural red highlights that come from the amazing Weasley genes. Woe to my hair! Then, I get a sudden inspiration!

I stick my wand to a lock of my hair, and presto! It turns dark blue. I continue to do this until I have many blue streaks in my hair, it looks cool. Well, now I'm tired and have accomplished all my homework, gossiped with Rose, and made my hair look cool!

The next thing I know a pillow is being thrown at me. "Rise and shine sleeping beauty!" shouts Rose from the bathroom, "Second day of classes!" I groan, stupid time difference its 11 at night!

"Rose, I got three hours of sleep and its 11pm in America. Why do we have stupid time difference?" I groan.

"Well, the sunlight…" Rose starts explaining. I dose off again. Again, at 7 Rose wakes me up "come on, you're going to miss breakfast and be late for class!" This time, I listen to her and throw on the first robe I see, even though it's probably dirty. I leave my hair down, because I'm just too lazy to throw it up, quickly put on shoes and grab my book bag, which I had already packed last night with some major Divination skills, Professor Trelawney would be proud.

"Ok Rosy-Posey, let's go!" I scream because, now that she woke me up, I'm kind of hungry. Rose just stares at me. And stares. And stares. And stares. Ok I'll bite. "What are you looking at?"

"Your hair." She states simply. "My hair?" I ask. "Its blue." She states the obvious again. "Well, yes, see…" I start to explain until she cuts me off "I like it. Can we go to breakfast now?"

So we set off at a slow pace towards the Great Hall, mostly due to the fact that I'm so time difference disoriented that I believe myself to be having a midnight snack instead of breakfast. We enter the Great Hall and sit down at the Gryffindor table and I grab some toast and start spreading butter on it.

James, Albus's brother, flicks my hair "Hey, Z, cool hair!" he shouts. I beam at him "why thank you I thought it looked cool". He smiles, then leans down into my ear and begins whispering to me "I'm planning a new prank and need your oh so masterful planning skills. Room of Requirement, end of classes, Friday."

I wink at him to show him I understand and look up to see Al and Scor finally arriving at the table, just in time to eat a little breakfast before Herbology. "Umghblks" they mumble, while Rose looks at me, confused. "Morning to you too" I say and lay my head down on the table and yawn. "Merlin I'm tired."

"Whoa, your hair!", Al says his first intelligent words of the day. "Mhmm do you like it?" I ask sleepily. He leans down to inspect it a little more and I feel his breath on the back of my neck and I that normal? He laughs at me, "Only you, Kenzie, would think to do this. It's very unique, very, you." I smile back at him "Well, I do have a marvelous mind."

He winks, "Whatever helps you sleep at night, Kenzie." I scowl at him, "how long are you going to keep the 'Kenzie' thing up?" "Until I get bored of it" Great. That will never happen. He likes annoying me too much.

Scor looks at his watch, looks at all of us, and groans. This is our cue; we finish eating very quickly and rush outside to Herbology. Professor Longbottom walks into class right as we are taking our seats.

"Hello everyone, and welcome to your first Herbology lesson of 6th year." He says "We won't be dealing with any plants today, but…" at this point I begin to tune him out. I look over at Al, we are set in tables of four in Herbology and Professor Longbottom lets us sit wherever we want to as long as we have two boys and two girls per group. This works out perfectly for me and my bestest buds as Albus and I sit across form Rose and Scor.

Now, see, James and I discovered this awesome spell that you can put on your parchment so that you can write on your parchment,and it magically (no pun intended) shows up on the other peoples parchment that you peformed the spell on. (A/N: I hope that makes sense…tell me if it doesn't and I'll try to explain it better). So I pretend like I'm taking notes and write on my parchment and let magic do its thing.

I'm so tired! – Z

You think you're tired, I was up until 3! – Al

Haha, you're soo funny Al, I was up until 3 too! :P and it s 1 o clock in the morning Arizona time!

Fine, you win.

Mhmm. I thought so. Do you like my hair?

I told you I did.

Nuh huh you said it was 'very unique; very you.'

Fine, yes Kenzie, I do like your blue hair.

Pshh it's not blue, they're blue highlights.

Same difference.

You guys are so weird – Scor

We'll we're bored, entertain us.

You guys should be taking notes! - Ro

Mwahaha! You said Ro!

We'll, I'm too lazy to spell out my own name!

Its four letters! Scorpious is so much longer!

Mackenzie is just as long!

But you go by Z

But on my papers for school I have to write my full name!

Does it really matter?

Neville's looking this way!

He is not Rose!

Haha you spelled out Rose!!

This only proves that I am less lazy than you.

I'm stopping before we get in trouble.

Me too

Well, Al, old buddy ol' pal…I guess it's just you and me

Then, the bell rings and I look up. Wow, that class was fast. The rest of the morning seems to fly by and suddenly, its lunchtime.

We all arrive at the Great Hall and I put my head down again. Time seems to be catching up with me. "I'm so tired I don't think I can eat."

Al looks at me, worried, "You need to eat. You need to keep up your strength. Wow I sounded like my mum" he laughs, "but seriously just eat something at least." "Al, its five o clock in the freaking morning and I'm tired!" people begin to look at me strangely and I can't tell if it's because I have blue in my hair or if it is because I just announced it was five in the morning when it's really noon. I smile innocently until the look away.

"Fine, just give me that strawberry." As I eat my delicious strawberry I wonder if Professor McGonagall would let me skip the rest of my classes; probably not.

I suffer through my afternoon classes, desperately trying not to fall asleep through double Divination. Yippee! Classes are over and this time I snuggle into my warm bed even though its 3 in the afternoon. I am exhausted and fall asleep. And here begin the dreams that I've been having for awhile now. They started out as sweet, innocent dreams. But now, they're the first thing I think of when I wake up, and the last thing I think of before I drift off to sleep.

These dream, will they every stop? Just then, I feel myself fading away into sleep, and I realize that if these dreams ever did stop, I would be extremely disappointed.
