A/N: wow....my first story! I'm SOOOOO excited!! *fan girl shriek*

Okay, well, I guess I better go on with the disclaimers huh? Bummer.

This world and most of the characters do NOT belong to me (as much as I want them to). They belong to none other than J.K. "the Friggin Amazing" Rowling. She's my role model and hero, and hopefully she's inspired you too. I do however take credit for all the O.C.'s (original characters) that I've created to fill this story. And lastly, I have to give a HUUUGGGEE wet kiss on the cheek to my best friends Kathy Hoang, Linda Merkhai and Stefany Ruggiero. They are the inspiration for the main characters Kaylie, Rosette and Amaya (I'm Kristen!). They've helped me, they've argued and debated and we finally have something going here! LOVE YOU GUYS! 3

Okay...sooo...wow...first chapter...ENJOY ! =D

Chapter 1 - Exploding Toilets

Kaylie's POV

"Did you see Trevor's face when that toilet exploded!?" Amaya gasped during breakfast, trying to catch her breath long enough to say the sentence.

"Hell yeah! And he came out of there and totally freaked on us while he was covered in only God knows what! I bet he'll smell for a week, tops." Kristen added with an evil glint in her bright brown eyes.

"Don't forget how he tried – and failed – to jinx you, Kristen." Rosette put in, throwing back her long brown hair as she laughed openly at the inside joke.

"Psh! He never had a chance against me! And he never will mind you," said Kristen, looking down the table and throwing a boy with blonde-almost-brown hair a dirty look.

"I, personally, thought that was the grossest prank yet. You two are evil geniuses," Kaylie pointed out, disgust clear on her face.

"Kaylie, Kaylie..." Amaya shook her head, "It's like you don't know us at all." She exchanged a look with Kristen, her evil glint matching her friend's.

The four best friends had known each other since muggle kinder garden. And ever since then, they've been the best of friends. Never once did their loyalty waver.

They were the most popular girls in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. No one – not even seventh years – messed with them. If they did either: Kristen and Kaylie would have a word with them … and fists … or Amaya would come up with a clever and cunning prank to bring them down. Funny thing was though … they were only in fifth year.

Amaya was klutzy, obsessive and hair brained and, at times, seemed as weak and vulnerable as Rosette (which was saying something). Boy, were people wrong. Amaya had the violent temper (and appetite) of an irritated grizzly bear, and people who had gone up against her had multiple scars to prove it. She was an excellent student, who hardly studied, yet to the awe – and annoyance – of her friends, managed to pass everything with flying colours. Although, she had arrived at Hogwarts like any other muggleborn, clueless and lost. But she had also arrived loveless. Never in her eleven years in the muggle world had she had a crush on anyone, despite her friends matching her up with random boys (which were extremely amusing to them and extremely annoying to her). When she had arrived at Hogwarts, though, one boy had caught her immediate attention. William Peters. And of course, the relentless flow of teasing from her friends began.

Rosette was the childish, bubbly, imaginative and energetic one. Her preppy-casual look combined with jeans always made her look just a little younger than what she really was. She had just about enough energy to replace the sun, but she wasn't the sporty type. She could make anyone smile without much effort. She too had arrived at Hogwarts muggleborn, clueless and vulnerable. Amaya felt it necessary to become Rosette's bodyguard and keep her safe. Rosette wasn't the most coordinated girl around. Actually, you could put her in a room with a flat floor and she would still find a way to trip over something. She was a magnet for embarrassing moments. But of course, she had her friends to pull through.

Kristen always had been the sportiest. Sure, both she and Amaya were on the Gryffindor quidditch team (Chasers), but growing up in the Muggle world, Amaya was never as sporty as Kristen. She was pureblood, but she knew her way around some Muggle sports, and was usually good at them. She got good grades, and was a star student in Potions and DADA. But she was the always first one of the four best friends to think of a clever and cunning plan for a prank. And that usually got them into enormous amounts of trouble. Though, she was still seen as a top student, the trouble being only a little blemish on the face of the latter. Coming into the school, she knew a lot already, so she felt it her duty to teach her friends all she possibly could about Hogwarts and the wizarding world. Though, what she didn't see coming was boys. She didn't seem to have noticed her affection for one boy grow. And that boy happened to be James Potter. The thing was, he liked her too. They had finally hooked up last year after a quidditch match, Kristen lying in the hospital wing. Kaylie remembered that time and almost laughed at the memory of Kristen's face when the other three girls walked in to find James and her alone. Kristen never liked when they brought it up, and for fear of their own lives, the other girls never brought it up. Now though, the sight of both of them together was enough to make anyone throw up or fear for their lives. Kristen had dark chestnut brown hair that curled a little past her shoulders. Her ideal clothing? Jeans and a hoody.

Kaylie thought of herself as girlie and preppy; always following the rules when necessary – even in muggle magazines. She never, ever, thought of herself as the most beautiful girl in fifth year, but that she was. Her long, black, straight hair fell to almost her waist and always had some sort of trinket or something sparkly in it. She wasn't the brightest student but she received enormous help from Amaya. Kaylie was a very outspoken person. She loved big crowds and could have one rousing in no time at all. But she had her eye on someone special. Seth Johnson was a fifth year Gryffindor, just like Kaylie. To her, he had dreamy blue eyes she could almost swim in and perfectly poised curly, sandy-brown hair. To the rest of the school he was quiet and kept to himself. He had a couple of best friends that he hung around with, but mostly kept to his books. Something about that air of innocence and intelligence kept Kaylie's attention. Of course though, she thought he didn't like her. What frustrated Kaylie most of all about boys was that none of them were like him. But the never ending flow of boys lining up to ask her out came sometime during the last year when they all matured. She loved the attention but she wanted the boy.

Just then, James Potter swooped down, kissed Kristen on the head and sat down next to her, putting his arm around her waist and using the other to scramble food onto his plate.

"'Morning girls," William Peters appeared beside his best friend and took the seat on his left.

"Hey Will... James." Kaylie ended tentivley as James stuffed scrambled eggs into his mouth. All he could manage was a slight nod in her direction before he ate some more.

Kristen rolled her eyes. "You could be a little more polite you know? Like maybe a "good morning" or even a "hello". It's not that hard really."

"Don't you know well enough now that I don't need to express myself anymore? You already know everything anyway!" James defended himself and tickled Kristen when she rolled her eyes at him again. She shrieked a bit and wriggled around in surprised before she pulled his hands away, giving him a disappointed glare.

"Okay, enough. I'm honestly going to lose my breakfast before I've even digested it!" Amaya complained. Kristen just made a face her way, while James went back to eating and talking with Will.

Kristen leaned in to whisper in Rosette's ear, "She's just jealous that she's not with William!" Rosette burst into a fit of uncontrollable giggles and Kristen gave a little smirk Amaya's way. Amaya glared at the two of them and stabbed at her breakfast with her fork. Kaylie laughed a bit, and went back to her breakfast peacefully. She then glanced around and noticed that the Great Hall was half-empty.

"What time is it?!" Kaylie checked her watch, "Oh my gosh! Its five minutes 'til bell! Let's go!"

"Ugh fine." Amaya got up to go with her. Everyone else got up to go too, but of course, Rosette dropped most of the contents of her bag.

"You guys go ahead, I'll catch up." Rosette bent down to pick up her fallen textbooks and quills. Kaylie felt bad for her and squatted to help. Everyone else shrugged and left for their first class.

"You're such a klutz, chick!" Kaylie mocked, picking up one of Rosette's special blue quills she only uses for "extremely important documents" (Kaylie never had seen her use one yet). "It's a good thing you have amazing friends who catch your fall."

"You're telling me…" Finally, after a pause, Rosette caught on and said, "Hey! I'm not that klutzy, come on!"

"Uh, yes you are that klutzy. But it's still cute. I know of one boy who gets his perks out of picking you up off the ground – mind you, it's not the most fun job in the world."

Rosette ignored the jab and went straight for the "boy" accusations, "He does NOT like me, okay!?" Kaylie watched as her face grew red as she blushed. "He's a very good friend – and don't you go on about us hanging out by the lake all the time!"

Rosette had seen Kaylie open her mouth to retort. Now, she closed her mouth, but opened it again.

"But you guys would be so adorable together!" Kaylie winked. "The princess and her prince…who always helps her onto her not-so-graceful feet."

"Why do I even bother with you guys?" she shook her head sadly. Finally, there were only a few parchments left around. "Kaylie, I love you, but I'm not going to make you late for class okay? Go."

"Fine, see you in class." Kaylie got up and waved goodbye. Oh how naïve her friends could be about boys. SO naïve. Kaylie walked up the isle between the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor tables and was just about to cross into the Entrance Hall when she heard a great crash and lots of clattering from behind her. She turned to find everyone in the school turned to look at Rosette who was red in the face, on the floor, the contents of her bag strewn all around her. Soon, the laughter began, and became louder and louder. Kaylie herself couldn't suppress a smile as she went back down the isle to help Rosette up.

But someone had gotten there before her. Of course, she thought, its Albus Potter to the rescue again. That boy really has a thing for her. I've got to do something about it. But later perhaps.

For now, Kaylie contented herself with watching Rosette blush an even deeper red as Albus held out his hand for her and helped her get all her things in her bag. By that time, Riku, Seth and Rose, Albus' best friends had joined them two. They walked out to the Entrance hall together, while Kaylie watched, and set out after them. Kaylie you're such a coward! She thought to herself. You couldn't even bring yourself to walk with them to class because of him.

It's true. Kaylie watched as in front of her Seth Jonhson and Rose Weasley took hands and walked down the corridor together. Jealousy flared up in Kaylie like a lion preparing to catch its next meal. Stop it! She's a friend, a roommate! You cannot let this get to you or else you could totally ruin it for them. You know Rose's guilty conscience AND yours too. Don't. Let. It. Get. To. You.

She kept telling that to herself, firmly and strongly. She couldn't let herself show her feelings, and good thing she and her friends were amazing actresses. If Rose found out, she'd probably consult Kaylie and she didn't like the idea of that at all. Kaylie remained a good friend, putting on a good show in front of both of them and taking her mask off when it was just her and her girls. How she loved them. They were like her own personal super glue – ready to stick her broken pieces back together. Sometimes, they did get lost in a drawer somewhere, but they always found their way back. And thank goodness they were tough enough to handle all the ranting she did.

Kaylie let her eyes linger on the back of Seth's head for a moment (loving the rich blonde colour of his long hair) and walked a bit faster so she could pass them and head into the classroom before them. But of course, luck wasn't on her side.

"Kaylie! Hey!" Seth called over to her.

Time to shine, you can do it. Kaylie fixed a bright, friendly smile on her face and turned to the two of them. "Hey! Seth, Rose." She nodded warmly to them.

"You a little late too?" Rose asked, smiling.

"Yeah, I stayed back to help Rosette, but Albus got there first." A fake smile played across her face. The actress in me shines! Kaylie thought.

Seth chuckled, "What are we going to do with him, seriously?"

"I know my cousin better than anyone, yes even you Seth," - she smiled up at him, making Kaylie's smile almost falter and her wanting to gag – "and he's so in love, yet, so in denial."

"Yup. You got that right." Kaylie tried to sound casual. Glancing around, she finally saw the door to the Transfiguration classroom. Walking in, she quickly sped away, muttering a small goodbye, and sat in the desk her friends had reserved for her.

"Where have you been?" Rosette asked. "You left before me!"

"And why in the world were you with Rose and Seth?" Kristen asked bewildered, an exasperated look on her face.

"Uh…" Kaylie fought to find words through her sorrow, "They saw me in the corridor…and me being the idiot I am – "

"The very big idiot you are, oh yes." Amaya added in.

Kaylie rolled her eyes and ignored her, "talked to them."

Her best friends sighed. They all felt bad for Kaylie and right now all she wanted to do was curl up in her four-poster bed and talk to them alone. But with the great timing that she has, Kaylie's transfiguration teacher, Professor McGonagall, walked in and ordered the class to fall silent. Love is a bitch, she thought.

With a sigh, Kaylie pulled her books out of her bag and tried to forget the nagging desire to throw a rolled up ball of parchment at Seth's head all through class.

Rosette's POV

The laughter was still ringing in Rosette's ears as Albus led her down the hallway, always keeping an arm around her. She clutched her bag close to her chest, afraid she might loose it again. Albus chuckled lightly again as they rounded another corner, passing by Kaylie, Seth and Rose. Rosette rolled her eyes.

"You get such a kick out of this, don't you? That's why you always help me!" She gave him a suspicious glare Kristen would have been proud of.

He smiled down at her, choosing not to comment. He'd gotten so tall over the past year! Rosette had always liked being taller than him for a while, and always rubbing it in. But of course, he had grown – and now bugging her about it.

"You know, sometimes this job is hard work! Your friends aren't much help are they?" He looked down again, dazzling her with the vibrancy of his green eyes. Wait! Dazzling?! No way! No. Rosette, don't you dare think those things!

But the fact remained (no matter how many times she told her inner voice) that Rosette liked Albus. She had admitted to it once, inside her mind, and regretted it ever since. She thought about him all the time; his amazing black hair that stuck up in every direction, just like his father' and brother's, his beautiful green eyes, brighter than any leaf in the Forbidden Forest and the general way he did everything. Albus was what she needed to get through her day – especially when she fell. He was able to get past the embarrassment, and help her up every time she tripped.

Albus. She savored his name for a moment before being brought back to reality. Albus pulled his arm away from her waist as they rounded the last corner before the Transfiguration classroom. Blasted Transfiguration, she thought angrily.

"See you after class!" He called as he went to sit next to Riku, his best friend, on the other side of the classroom.

The place where Albus' arm had been around her waist still tingled as though his arm was still there. Rosette hurried to her seat, preparing for the endless flow of questions to come. She was surprised to find that Kaylie wasn't there. Although, the suspicious faces looking down at her were predictable.

"So did he help you up again?"

"We heard from a Ravenclaw coming to class."

"What happened?!"

"You're such a klutz, honestly!"

"Come on! Tell us about Albus!"

Rosette only half heard the voices whisper-shouting all of this at her. She did catch who was saying what though. Of course, Kristen demanded to know about Albus. She was always bugging her about him, even when the others didn't. Kristen, though, could see right through her, and found out her secret. (DAMN IT!) Amaya of course, wanted to annoy Rosette about her klutziness. Typical best friends.

"Whoa, whoa! Slow the heck down!" Rosette tried to stem the flow of persistent questions coming at her.

"Then answer our questions! Gawd!" Kristen whisper-shouted, rolling her eyes.

"Okay, okay! Well, yes, I was with Albus," she added a little eye roll herself, although a little blush did creep up to her cheeks, "and no nothing happened." Kristen's mouth had had the question formed on her open mouth, but closed it grudgingly when Rosette had answered it.

"You guys seriously gotta hurry this up! Ugh!" Kristen complained.

"Whatever. And yes, I fell, thank you very much." Rosette rolled her eyes again, this time at Amaya.

"More like you fell again! Do we need to bring you to the hospital wing or something? This could be an inner-ear balance thing, you know."

"An inner-ear balance – what?" Rosette asked feeling extremely confused. That was typical Amaya and her smart-assiness.

"Oh never mind," Amaya dismissed the subject shaking her head sadly in Rosette's direction as to show her disappointment in her stupidity.

Rosette just threw her a mocking look and added another eye roll. She gave herself a little breathing time by piling her books and parchment onto her desk. When she finished with this task, she didn't feel like being interrogated by Kristen and Amaya again, so she laid her head in her arms as a pillow on her desk. She sneaked a look over at Albus. He was laughing at one of Riku's jokes.

Rosette longed to be with him, but couldn't. How unfair it was, but that was life. Love is a bitch, she thought, closing her eyes and sighing, This is going to be a very long day…
