Hey everyone! This is the first chapter up! for the other one is the PROLOGUE!
Thanks for the two reviews.
Casey- I deleted the story because I couldn't write anymore, but I PROMISE you I will finish this one! :)
Chapter 1- Who said life was easy?
"Rose! Come down stairs, RIGHT NOW!" My mum shouts from the kitchen. I log of my emails and closed down the search engine "Dumbledore knows it" and finished my piece on Gillyweed with a simple sketch of what happens to the human body, when they swallow Gillyweed. I write my name at the bottom of the parchment and throw it into my trunk. In my trunk, are all my already finished pieces of homework.
I pull my hair out of the bun and let it go down to my shoulders; it is brown, like my mums, and smooth and shiny, like my dad's, of course everyone thinks my hair is bushy. I don't normally let my hair down, due to my father; it was coming up to my first year. I went out to Diagon Alley and when he saw me with my hair down, he told me I looked like a tart, at that age! I was so upset, I ran to my room and promised myself I would never go out with my hair down again. Sad I know and you may ask how I know my hair was the problem, because the week after I wore the same outfit but with my hair up and he said that 'that was a much more appropriate outfit than before'.
I look in the mirror and see my reflection. Wow I look so messy and so pull my hair up into a bun again and use Madame Wonderful's "magic hair spray, bound to hold up to twenty four hours" to make all the strands neatly into place. I sigh a sigh of relief and trudge down stairs.
As I get down, I walk towards my kitchen; my mum is sitting at the table holding a letter in her pale hands, my mum's horrendously bushy hair seems to be as mad and wild as her attitude at the moment, frizzing out in all directions.
She sees me and gives me the most dark evil eyes I have ever seen and points for me to sit down at the table. I sit as far away from her as possible at the small wooden table and give her a pleasant smile.
"Do you know what Aunt Ginny just mailed me?"She asked trying to be polite but her eyes gave away how truly angry she was.
"No mother, I do not know what Aunt Ginny just mailed you" I say being extremely polite. She gives me an evil look and wags a letter in my face.
"Lily has just got her End of Year Exams, her 'EYE's back, Rose, and when I went through your work in yours and Hugo's library. I found THIS!" She holds my results in front of my face. I scowl and try to snatch them away. 'How dare she? How dare she look through my private belongings?' I think all my concentration on trying not to rip her hair out of her head, mainly because my diary was in my private stuff, hidden of course, but she might have seen that! "Only 11 'Outstanding's! You! You! I think you may need some private tutoring Rose! I thought you were doing well in school! Potions, an 'Exceeds expectations'! And you haven't taken any of the other subjects! Minerva told me you have been using a time turner, what for? Have a whole lesson picking your nose?" My mum screeches at me. I get off my chair and I stand, I grab my results from her hand and walk off.
"Wait there young lady! I haven't finished with you yet! You need to stop being a stroppy teenager and get on with what you have to do! You were obviously not doing any homework then, and for that you are banned from your emails!" She shouts, and then smugly crosses her arms over her chest.
"I was-" I start, but she cuts me off.
"No answering back! And where is your money for dinner tonight?" She asks, I take a step away from her and give her two Sickles and grab a packet of biscuits from one of the shelves, the homely kitchen, not looking so homely any more. I walk away from her and I go into Hugo's and mine study. Hugo is in there, looking smug.
"You don't mind me taking all these books, do you?" I ask him. He laughs and shakes his head.
"No I don't care, take them to your bedroom, weirdo." He walks out, I quickly look around, and then I whisper a spell, to make the books all disappear, and I know they have landed in my bedroom. I smile mischievously and whisper a spell stopping the ministry form detecting my magic. 'Ha!' I think to myself, 'good old Uncle George!'

I look around my bedroom and smile; I had used another one of Uncle George's tricks to make my bedroom larger, to fit all my books inside. I have got a lock on the door of my bedroom that only opens to my voice, which I have locked. My bedroom is Bronze and blue for Ravenclaw, I have a bed in one corner of my room it is small and is decorated with an eagle's head in bronze, on the duvet. I have a desk on the other side, it is very big, my Aunt Audrey and Uncle Percy gave it to me, and they are very rich and care for my education. They gave it to me just before I started Hogwarts. It has a pull out section that fits all my scrolls in and on the other side has a place for all my quills and inks. I have my computer on the desk and a small lamp.
I have used a new creation from 'Mr Fresh Furnishings' shop, of which my Uncle George and Aunt Angelina gave me; a bookshelf of which can be changed of size, without using magic. Before I had kept it small, but feeling annoyed, I have taken all the books from my study and have put them in my bedroom. The bookshelf is now spread through my room, lining the walls. I have got lots of pictures of my friends and family on my desk and they are, of course, moving. I smiled at the picture and touched Tom III's face in the picture. He was smiling and winking at the camera, flirting, that seriously was the best day ever! Apart from the day when I revised all day and afterwards I got full marks in potions! I was so happy...
I smiled absentmindedly, then walked over to the other side of my bedroom to get a book, "All the potions an average teenager would need", and I snorted and sat on my bed to read. I bet I have read all the potions in there, I probably haven't made them but I have read about them. 'First potion: Love potion', my eyes lingered on the page and a smirk appeared on my face, no, that is not fair and I will end up blowing his head apart, probably. I hastily turned the page.
'Second Potion: Hair potion, this little potion will let you be able to grow, cut, straighten and even perm' if done correctly. First of all take a single unicorn hair, cut into five bits. The first bit of unicorn hair is to go into your cauldron, then three black eyed Phinikoops; Phinikoops are special creatures, which only come out at night, they have pink noses and the rest of their body is brown, please read the glossary at the back for more information. Then the second bit of unicorn hair, this will make a small sizzle and the potion is to turn to liquid. Add five drops of beetle juice and-'
My mobile phone started beeping – I have had a muggle mobile phone since I started Hogwarts, which is another gift from Uncle George. I dropped the book on my bed and went over to read my text, there were two, one from Tom saying I had got the job (YES!) and the other was from Hugo, it said "We r goin 2 leeky coldren 4 lunch, wanna cum?" I snorted. I dropped the phone on my bed and started to get ready. I put on my shoes, sprayed on some "Mysties magical perfume" and pulled my, nearly empty money bag into my shoulder bag and slouched downstairs.
Who Said Life Was Easy?
