Disclaimer I don't own Harry Potter

Ellie Fay couldn't stand Chris Lies. Everything he did irritated her. His clothes, his hair, and his attitude all made her want to puke. So why then was she sitting in his backyard for his end of summer party? Because Rose Weasley had wanted to go. Rose and Ellie had become best friends when they were 7 and Rose had moved into her building. It was Rose who told Ellie that she was a witch and could go to Hogwarts when she was eleven. At first, Ellie thought she was crazy until she had her dad explain too. Her mum was furious because it was probably something she inherited from her father, the father that left her mother the day before her baby brother, Eric, was born when she was 2. After a while, she got over it and allowed Ellie to attend Hogwarts.

It was easy for Ellie at Hogwarts because she had Rose to explain things to her. Rose no-bullshit attitude lead her become the queen of the first years, dragging Ellie along with her. Ellie didn't mind the getting attention. Problem was the people she was getting the extra attention from. Those people were Chris Lies, Will Lancing, and James Potter.

"Oi! Ellie came check this out." Chris shouted from across the pool, where he, James Potter, and Will Lancing were sitting on the huge outdoor couch. There was a computer in James lap and the three were laughing their butts off. Ellie turned to her left. Rose was knee-deep in a conversation with Elizabeth Forward and Torri Bridge, two girls from their dorm that they hung out with. Ellie wasn't as close to them as she was with Rose, but they still hung out together when Rose was busy. After Ellie realized that Rose wouldn't be including her in the conversation anytime soon, she got up and walked along the edge of the pool to where the boys were.

"What? " She said. All three smirked and James pointed to the screen. She sat next Will and looked at the screen. There was a video of two people who were doing not-so-kid-friendly things. Ellie shrieked and the boys all laughed. "What the fuck? That not funny" She said slapping Will's arm

"Way to be mature, guys." Ellie looked up and saw Al standing by the side of the couch with a red cup in his hand. Ellie stomach fluttered. Al had always interested Ellie. He wasn't rude or obnoxious like the other boys at school. He always seemed calm and got along with everyone expect Scorpius Malfoy. She also knew that he was smart and caring. She remembered when they got partnered for a potions assignment; Al offered to do the whole thing so she could practice her monologue for the play auditions after school. She refused and the two ended finishing the potion early so that Ellie could practice. She got the part and Al came to see her perform. She also couldn't forget the fact that he was super cute.

"Well, I never said I was. Lighten up, Al, at least I didn't show her the animal vid. I showed you last night." James said and Al shuddered. "See, I can be respectful. Now, Ellie, get the fuck up so Al can sit down again."

"Huh?" Ellie said confused. Before she had time react, Will had gotten up and dragged her off the couch. He picked her up bridal-style and threw her in the pool. Ellie screamed and plunged into the water. When she resurfaced, she saw James, Chris and Will laughing. Al looked pissed and everyone around them was staring or laughing, including Rose.

"Dude!" Al said looking at Will.

"What?" Will asked, laughing. Al pushed Will into the pool and smirked. Soon, Al, James ,and Chris were fighting one another, trying to push each other into the pool. Everyone turned their attention to them and off Ellie. Ellie got out of the pool and walked over to Rose who was sitting on a lounge chair smirking, Teen Vogue in hand.

"Don't say anything." Ellie said grabbing a towel.

"Okay. I won't say how Al just totally saved you or how much of a git Will is." Rose said leaning in the chair and reading her magazine.

"Okay you're allowed say that" Ellie said smiling, thinking about Al. "He really did save me didn't he?"

"Yeah, I think he took the whole thing way to seriously, but then again he's probably upset about Libby not being here."

Libby Rolling was a Ravenclaw in their year. "And why would he be upset about Libby not being here?"

"Because she's in France and won't be back until the week after school starts."

"And that affects Al because?" Ellie asked confused.

Rose looked at Ellie like she was crazy. "Because he asked her out during Lily's birthday party and she left the day after, so he didn't a chance to spend any time with her?" She returned to her magazine like the news didn't bother her. Ellie however didn't take the news as lightly. "I thought you knew. Everybody was talking about on Facebook. "

Ellie hadn't used her Facebook since school let out. She was too busy hanging out with her cousins who had flown in from Greece. Why hadn't she gone Lily's party and stopped this from happening? Because Al had never invited her, she thought angrily. Libby had invited Ellie to every one of parties since she was 8. She gave Ellie nice birthday gifts and always gave her a hand decorated cookie at Christmas. She always complimented Ellie's hair and shoes. She was one of the nicest people at Hogwarts and Ellie had always considered her a good friend. Now, however, Ellie considered her an enemy.

Ellies jealous! :) Please Review...I don't want to be a person who begs, but I need to know that somebody is intersted in this story before I start spending all my free time writing it. Next chapter will be out in a few hours and it will be centered around either James or Blair. :)
