So anyway now you know my family so I should probably get on with the story;

I'm starting my fifth year at Hogwarts. OWL year. Yay. Don't get me wrong. I'm not stupid or anything, it's just that a large portion of my family is very very smart and I'm just average. Even Fred and James were very good at something. So what if that something was creating as much chaos as humanly possible. At least they could takeover the WWW when Uncle George retired (which he did last summer after declaring his eyebrows had been burnt off too many times). I have nothing I'm exceptionally good at. I can bake the best brownies in the world and can read pretty fast and I top History Of Magic every time, but that's basically it.

So anyway I had just hugged my parents and Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione goodbye and gotten on to the train when something ran at me and smashed straight into my tummy. 'LilyLilyLilyLily.'

'Hello Lorcan', I said trying to stifle a giggle. Lorcan's my best friend in the whole entire world. He's my mum's godson. He has yellowy hair and wide blue eyes. He looks a lot like his mum Luna (she's the lady I got my middle name from). He's got this constant look of surprise on his face but don't let that fool you, he's the smartest kid in his grade. He gets best in almost everything, but his real forte is Potions. He has a very analytical mind, which he inherited from his dad. He is the complete opposite of his loopy mum. We're both also obsessed with this book series by a muggle. It's called 'A Song Of Ice And Fire' and we basically talk about it all the time.

'Did you finally read the new one' he asked excitedly.

'Are you kidding me, I was waiting outside the store for the midnight release' I said smiling. Ahh it's good to be back.

'Lorcan!' I heard a scream coming from the compartment we were standing outside.

'Oh hello Lily'

This is one thing I certainly did not miss. 'Hi Andrea' I said politely.

Andrea Thomas is the bane of my existence. Okay so I'm being kind of harsh. Let's just say we don't really get along. But she's still Lorcan's girlfriend so I have to be nice. She's incredibly hot but also incredibly dumb. I mean you would think that Lorcan would go for the smart ones, but no he always dates the idiots. The idiots are also usually very attractive so I guess I can't really blame him. I mean he is a teenage boy. 'I'll see you inside, Lorcan' she whispered in his ear suggestively and left. He looked at me pleadingly. 'Go' I laughed, 'I'll catch up with you later.'

I pulled my trunk along the corridor till I found my friends. 'Lily!' Ariana jumped out of her seat and gave me a huge hug. 'Hey Lil' her brother Frank said after Ariana was done squishing me. He pulled me into a hug. 'Hi' I said blushing a little. So I have a confession to make. I've sort of always had a crush on Frank Longbottom. He's not particularly attractive or funny and he's a little bit of a dork, but I've liked for as long as I can remember.

'Lysander!' I yelled. Seeing the chubby Ravenclaw boy immersed in his book. He looked up and smiled at me, with a dreamy look in his eyes. 'Hi Lily' he said and went straight back to his book. I shook my head. Lorcan and Lysander had to be the two most opposite twins in the world. Lorcan was sarcastic and cynical and had many opinions about many different things while Lysander just sort of drifted through life.

Al and Rohan walked through the door. Rohan Thomas is Al's best friend. He is also Dean and Parvati Thomas's son. He's quiet and shy. Nothing like his heinous sister.

'Hey Ro.' I smiled up at him.

'Hi Lily.' Ro and me used to be really close but then we sort of drifted apart last year.

'Oh look who it is.' I heard someone sneer as they followed Al into the compartment. Oh geez. Here we go again.

'Hello Rachel' I said trying to put as much scorn into my words as possible.

Rachel Evans was the most annoying person in the world. She actually made me want to rip my face off. She was a tiny brunette with the worst attitude ever. As usual her little entourage accompanied her. Deino Nott and Lavinia Blaise. Both had matching looks of disgust on their faces, like we smelled really bad.

'I just wanted to invite Albus to the annual Slytherin New Term Party.'

'Uh, I think I might have to miss this one and in any case I'm not actually in Slytherin' Al said trying not to laugh.

'Oh don't be silly, other house students are allowed if you come with someone from Slytherin' she said trying to convince him.

Everyone knows that Rachel's been in love with Albus for that four years. It's very strange considering we're all considered blood-traitor scum but hey the heart wants what the heart wants right?

We watched for a little while as Al tried to get out of going to the stupid party. He finally succeeded and Rachel left in a huff.

'Careful Al, I warned she doesn't take no for an answer she's going to slip you some love potion one day and then you'll be Mr. Rachel Evans for the rest of your life'.

Everyone laughed and after talking about our summer for a bit we all lapsed into a companionable silence.

Until there was a huge bang and when we ran outside we saw Lorcan pointing his wand at Scorpius Malfoy's chest. 'Shut up Malfoy! You really think anyone cares about your stupid opinions'

'Jesus, Lorcan, get a grip. I only said what everyone else was thinking.' Scorpius smirked. I couldn't stand Scorpius Malfoy. He was really mean and he was also that hag Rachel's extremely annoying ex. He knew she liked Al so he was always really bitchy. I looked closer and I felt my heart sink to my tummy. Pinned on to his robes was a Head Boy badge. Oh just kill me now.

'Lay off, Scorpy' Ariana said. I saw his face crinkle with distaste at the stupid nickname.

'Fuck off, Longbottom,' he said sneering.

Before I could say anything I Albus's wand was also pointing at Scorpius.

'Don't talk to her like that, you wanker!' Albus yelled.

This only served to widen Scorpius' grin. 'Fancy her, do you Potty?'

'Shove off, Malfoy' I said quickly before anyone got hurt. Malfoy was an annoyance but he was also rather good with curses. Malfoy seeing he was outnumbered, shrugged his shoulders and quickly retreated. Oh well. I sighed 'So Malfoy has effectively ruined the train journey, do you want to get changed? We'll be arriving soon.' Everyone agreed and headed toward the loos. I thought about Al's reaction to Scorpius' comments. I have actually never seen anyone that red. He probably did like her. Aww that's cute. Well mum'll be happy at least she desperately wants them to get together.
