Well you drive me crazy half the time;

-Taylor Swift
Nora DeBordeaux was the first one awake in the Gryffondor's fifth year dormitory at 6am. She made her way to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for the first day of class. She came out of the bathroom fully dressed with her Gryffondor uniform and drying her hair with a towel. She sat in front of the mirror, brushed her hair and performed a drying spell. She applied a line of dark eyeliner and a light coat of mascara before cleaning her things up. Aveline, Alicia and Angelina were just starting to wake up. Nora went up to Nataleigh and sat at the feet of the bed.
"Nataleigh" she whispered. "Wake up slob"
"Go away!" Nataleigh answered as she pulled the covers up.
"Nataleigh! Get up! Breakfast starts in fifteen minutes."
"Go piss off someone else Satan!"
"You asked for it!" Nora said as she pulled the covers off of her sister.
"FINE! I'M UP YOU IDIOT!"
"I'm up too, thanks to Nataleigh's calming voice." Lucy said as she rubbed her eyes.
"Probably half the dorm is up because of her soothing voice." Nora said as she threw a pillow at Nataleigh.
"I hate you Satan."
"Nora! Would you work your magic with my sad excuse for hair?" Asked Aveline.
"Sure! What do you want?"
"Anything... French braid?"
"Whatever you want Ava!" she answered smiling.
"That's what I like to hear." Aveline added jokingly.
"I'm sure it is." Nora said shaking her head as she finished the braid. "Ok! I'm going to eat! You five better get down if you want to have breakfast!"
"Yes mum!" Answered Lucy from the bathroom.
"Hey! I'm coming with you!" Added Aveline as she put down her lip gloss.
They made their way down the stairs and as they reached the last step, Nora tripped and fell.
"Always falling for me aren't you?" Teased Fred as he helped her up.
"Forever and always Fred, you're such a prince!" Nora said sarcastically.
"Be nice Freckles! I could've simply left you there on the floor!"
"And then I would've helped her!" Said Aveline.
"And she wouldn't have laughed at me!"
"Sorry N, maybe a little" Grinned Aveline.
"That hurts so much!" Nora joked as they made their way towards the great hall.
They sat down next to Oliver, George and Lee Jordan who were stuffing their faces with anything they could get their hands on.
"You're pigs!" Aveline said with disgust.
"They're boys." Corrected Nora suppressing a grin.
"That we are" said Fred taking a bite of pancakes.
"Did McGonagall pass out the timetables?" Nora asked as she poured herself a bowl of cereal.
"Don't fret Freckles! You'll get in soon enough" Fred said.
"I'm not fretting!" She said defensively "I'm just curious!"
"And a neurotic freak who wakes everyone up!" Said Nataleigh as she sat down next to her sister.
"As sad as that is Miss DeBordeaux, you might actually get to class on time if your sister wakes you up." Said Professor McGonagall from behind them.
"Nice summer Professor?" Asked Nora.
"Very nice Norabel, thank you. Yourself?" Answered Professor McGonagall.
"Quite nice." She said smiling.
"Here are the fifth year timetables, try not to get into trouble this year..the lot of you" She said warningly.
"Of course Minerva!" Answered Fred teasingly.
Professor McGonagall suppressed a smile as she walked away from the group of fifth years.
"Are you bloody serious?" Fred said as he looked at Nora's schedule. "You're mental!"
"You're exaggerating!" She said rolling her eyes.
"Right...Potions, arithmancy, charms, ancient runes, astronomy, transfiguration, history of magic, divination, care of magical creatures, herbology and DADA. It's bloody mental!"
"It's not mental. It's just..."
"Overachieving?" Said George.
"Crazy?" Said Erik.
"Neurotic?" Said Nataleigh.
"Fine! It's a lot! But I didn't know what to drop!" She said shrugging her shoulders.
They all laughed as they looked at each other's schedules.
"Double potions with Slytherin this morning" Said George as he shook his head. "What a great way to start the year" He added sarcastically.
"Same here" Said the others.
"This is going to suck!" Said Nora.
"Snape likes you!" George said.
"All the teachers like her!" Nataleigh said.
"That would be because I actually listen in class! Unlike you lot! Well Ava does a little. And Snape doesn't like anyone! Or anything for that matter...Especially shampoo." She said laughing as they left to get their books and headed to class.
They waited patiently in front of Snape's classroom as the Slytherins arrived and walked towards them.
"Merlin! This is going to be hell!" Said Nataleigh.
"If it isn't my favorite twin sisters!" Said Nikolaus.
"If it isn't our nut of a brother and his slytherin gang!" Nataleigh replied.
"Show some respect Nataleigh."
"For what?" Nora and Nataleigh said at the same time.
" Look. We're stuck in the same class for a year so let's just be civil please." Nora said.
"Fine. But you're the one with the bloodtraitors and the muggleborns" Nikolaus said as his friends started laughing.
"You're such an idiot Niko!" Nataleigh said shaking her head.
"Just let it go Nat." Nora said walking away as Snape walked by all of them and opened the class door.
"Well, come in..."He said icily.
"This is going to be a long morning" Fred whispered in Nora's ear.
"Yes it is. Partners again?" She said laughing.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." He said as they sat together at a table that was near the front.
"Mr. Weasley if you would tear your attention away from Miss DeBordeaux we might actually be able to start" Snape called out.
"Ass" Nora whispered and Fred tried to suppress a smirk.
Snape made them brew Draught of living death. As then added in the last ingredients, Nora stirred counter clockwise three times before sitting down and sighing.
"Done!" She declared with a hint of pride.
"And as usual we're the first ones done. Wanna call Snape?"
"Yep!" She said as she put her hand up.
"Yes?" Snape said in an indifferent tone.
"We're done." Nora answered happily.
Snape examined their potion for a very long five minutes before dropping a live spider into the cauldron and nodding.
"Good Miss DeBordeaux. Quite good." He said.
"What am I? Invisible?" Said Fred as Snape walked away.
"Just to Snape" She said laughing as they started cleaning up.
"That's good to know" He said.
"Is Freddykins taking it personal?"
"It's Snape! Why would I care?" He laughed.
"Because you and Snape are having a secret love affair?" She said pulling a licorice wand from her bag.
"If anyone is having a secret love affair with Snape it's you!" He said laughing as he took the licorice wand from her hand and took a bite.
"Hey! That was mine!" She said pouting. "And sorry to disappoint you, but I only consider secret love affairs with men who like shampoo."
"I like shampoo. Would you consider having a secret love affair with me?" He said winking at her.
"Nope!"
"Why not?" He said laughing.
"Because you stole my licorice!" She said hitting him across the head. "And I'm not sure Cedric would appreciate it. Especially with you."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Not much...But you are my best friend...And you happen to be a boy"
"Well spotted!" he said teasingly.
"And Cedric might be a little jealous" She said rolling her eyes at his previous comment.
"Diggory is jealous? Mr. Perfect is jealous of me? That's hilarious!" He said as he burst out laughing.
"It is not!" She said trying to suppress a laugh.
"Mr. Weasley. If you're done cleaning leave my classroom instead of disturbing everyone else!" Snape said as he glared at the pair.
"See you're not invisible anymore." She whispered chuckling.
"How come when we do something right you get all the credit and when we do something wrong I always take the blame?" He said as they got their bags and left the classroom.
"Because I've got golden locks and legs that go on for miles" She said slyly, quoting Fred's comment from the previous day.
"That you do." He said as he laughed and put an arm around her shoulder. "What do you have later?"
"Arithmancy, lunch, charms, ancient runes, diner, and astronomy. It's going to be a long day! You?"
"Muggle studies, lunch, charms, free period, diner and astronomy. Not so bad.. Other than astronomy.. Try not to fall asleep too early tonight" Fred teased.
"I wish I had a free period." Nora said pulling two licorice wands from her bag and handing one to Fred.
"But that would mean dropping a class.. Which you're too crazy to do." He said ruffling her hair. "Will you ever stop eating these?"
"Never! On both accounts" She said laughing and trying to smooth out her hair.
"How many classes are you taking anyway?"
"Eleven" She said laughing at Fred's shocked expression. "You were the one reading my timetable this morning!"
"True" He said as they got to the common room where Ron, Hermione and Harry were sitting.
"How long do we have before our next class anyways?" Nora said setting her bag down next to Hermione as she let herself fall back on the couch.
"Thirty minutes" Fred answered sitting down next to Ron. "So what are you kids doing here? Skipping class already?"
"Do you really think we'd be here with Hermione if we were skipping class?" Ron answered.
"Professor Flitwick let us out early." Hermione answered rolling her eyes at Ron. "How's Owl year?"
"We only had one class Granger!" Fred said laughing. "And Snape is still in love with Nora"
"Fred likes exaggerating things." Nora said rolling her eyes. "He's just mad because Snape gave me all the credit for our wonderful potion."
"I swear he has a crush on Nora."
"Oh shut it!" She said throwing a pillow at him. "You're just jealous." She added teasingly.
"Now that would be Diggory." Fred said smirking.
"Anyone wants to change the subject?" Nora asked.
The three third years and Fred laughed as Nora tried to suppress a smile.
"Anyway I'm going to get my books for arithmancy. I'll be down in a minute." Nora said.
"I'll come with you." Hermione said as she got up. "So how is arithmancy?"
"It's quite interesting, analyzing number charts and all. You'll like it I'm sure! Now ancient runes is fascinating! Divination is quite ridiculous, but kind of hilarious and care for magical creatures is very interesting. What classes are you taking?"
"All of them...And muggle studies." She said looking away.
"Wow. And Fred says I'm an overachiever. Using a time turner?"
"What? N..no!" She stuttered. "What's a time turner?"
"You're a terrible liar you know." Nora said smiling. "It's fine, I promise I won't tell anyone. I used one too in my third year."
"Really? Because I'm really scared. And I'm not sure about how it's gonna work? Or feel? And I really don't know how I'm going to hide this! And.."
"Breathe Hermione! It's going to be fine. At first, it's weird and it takes an adjustment period, but it gets pretty easy. Just be careful not to get too runned down by all the work."
"Yeah. Thanks Nora." She said smiling. "Do you still use one?"
"No, I dropped muggle studies. It's really useless when you've grown in a muggle household, or a half-muggle/half-wizard household like I did."
They girls kept talking for a while before heading down to meet the boys in the common room.
"What were you girls doing?" Fred asked.
"Talking, girl stuff and all." Nora said laughing. "I've got to go. I'm on the other side of the castle. See you lot later."
"You've got fifteen minutes!"
"Yep!" She said popping the p and smiling.
"Is the class with Hufflepuff?"
"Yep!" she said grinning as she went out the portrait hole.
