A/N: So. I got at least 40 hits…and no reviews. Rude. Come on, guys! I just wanna know how it is! I don't care if you think it's AWFUL. Just LET ME KNOW! Please? I'm begging, here. I'm not one to beg, but you've made me do this. I will love you forever if you review. You'll be my best friend. I'll be your slave. Well, maybe.

Anywho. I also wanna apologize for the crappy summary and the not-so-great first chapter. I'm not amazing with beginnings.

I don't own Harry Potter…yet. I'm workin' on it.

Anyways…

Albus POV:

I walked down the halls as Isabelle chatted animatedly. It was our first day back at Hogwarts, and we were both excited for our sixth year.

Suddenly, my cousin Rose bounced up to us.

"Hey, Izzy," Rose smiled to my friend.

"Hey!" Izzy greeted her back.

Then Rose turned and smiled mischievously at me. She leaned to me and whispered, "Having fun with your little girlfriend?" Rose was grinning madly.

"Shut the hell up," I muttered angrily, blushing as I spoke. I did NOT like Izzy like that. At all. We were friends.

Rose laughed and ran off into the crowd. She's probably looking for her lovely boyfriend, Malfoy, I thought to myself angrily.

"Al…" Izzy started. I ignored her, but she persisted. "What did she want?"

"Oh…um…nothing…doesn't matter…" I murmured. I looked at my shoes. I'd never noticed how interesting the tiles in the hall were… "Really. It's not a big deal." I blushed. Why was I blushing? I had no reason whatsoever to blush.

Damn cousins.

Izzy's POV:

I sighed tiredly and looked down at the parchment in front of me. "I hate potions," I muttered irritably. Albus just laughed, and I glared at him. "It's just…ugh!" I exclaimed.

"Good choice in adjectives," he smiled at me.

I ignored his sarcastic remarks, looking down at my four-foot long essay. I let out another tired sigh; I was still a foot short. Giving up, I shoved the paper to the side before pulling out another piece of clean parchment.

"Watcha doin'?" Al inquired.

"I'm gonna write a letter to Marie," I told him.

Marie was my 22-year-old sister. She was farthest apart from me in age out of my two siblings, but I was definitely closer with her than Trent. Marie always wrote me long, funny letters (she had the best sense of humor) and she liked to send me presents sometimes, too.

Graduating from Hogwarts three years ago, Marie was a healer at St. Mungo's, but she had been a professional Quidditch chaser for a year after she had gotten out of school. She gave it up because she claimed it to be "too dangerous" or something. Marie was gorgeous, too. She had naturally blonde hair that she had dyed brown-black, huge, beautiful, blue eyes, and she was pretty skinny.

I scribbled out a long letter to my eldest sister, then hopped out of my seat, taking the note with me.

"Where you going now?" Albus asked.

"Nosy, aren't we?" I teased. "Just up to the owlery to send this off," I told him, and he nodded approvingly.

I trotted through the halls, up to the owlery. When I got up there, I found my tawny owl, Cheesecake (long story, don't ask), and tied the note to her leg. I was on my way out when Finn Reeds came in.

I'm gonna be blunt, here. I'd been good friends with Finn for some time now, and had developed quite the crush over time. Yes, he was kinda weird, but that's what I liked about him so much. Quirky, cute, and sweet. What's not to like?

"Hey, Izzy," he said, breaking me from my reverie. "What's up?" Finn smiled at me, his blue eyes glinting.

"Not much," I told him. Boy, did I like this kid. "Just…sending a letter to Marie. You?"

"Oh, I just have to send this note back to my mom," he told me.

My heart fluttered just looking at him. Yeah, I know that's cheesy, but, well…

"I should get going," I told him.

"Right, see ya later!" he called to me.

I was still in a daze when I got back to the common room. Al must've noticed, because he spoke up as I sat down. "You look like Professor Scamander," he told me. Luna Scamander taught charms, and she was a little insane to say the least. "Did you run into a certain someone whose name starts with F and ends with -inn?" he asked teasingly.

"Shut up," I mumbled, slapping him on the arm. I could already feel the blush work its way up my cheeks.

"I'm gonna get you two together someday," he told me decisively. I shot him an inquiring look. He laughed at my confusion. "That way you'll shut up about him," I blushed more. "Plus," he continued, "he's the only guy that I'm not afraid will hurt you. I've known him for a while now," he informed me.

"Wow, Al. I don't think I've ever had your permission like this to date someone…" I told him jokingly, but it was true. Al was sweet, but he was just so…protective sometimes.

"Yeah, well you're lucky. But if that boy hurts you in any way-"

"I can take care of myself, Al," I interrupted. I flashed him a smile before starting back up on my potions essay.

A/N: Sorry for taking so long to update, if anyone actually cares. I know this is a little…random so far, but I'm just setting up the most important elements of the story right now.

I think I'll make a few parts in Al's POV, but this will mostly be in Izzy's. If it's from Albus, I probably just wanted to clear things up a little, or maybe give his opinion and feelings on things.

I REALLY want to know how you feel about this, so review pleeeaaaasssseeee! I mean, would it kill you to write me a couple sentences about this? I know you guys probably have much more of a life than I do, seeing as I'm the one cooped up on my computer...but still. And I'm perfectly fine with anonymous reviews, no problem with that at all. So review please?
