"Taylor," Cho said, trying to nudge me awake, "Taylor!"

"Mm, what?" I groaned, opening my eyes.

Natalia Brooks and Olivia Wood, my two other best friends, were sitting on Cho's bed, talking animatedly.

"Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour, and Cedric Diggory are the three Champions." She said, messing with her hair nervously.

"Cool," I responded, not really caring at the moment.

"But there's a fourth Champion," Cho said, sighing.

"What?" I asked, sitting up on my bed. "Who?"

"Harry Potter," Natalia said from her desk, she was now working on her homework for Transfiguration.

"Isn't he, what, twelve?" I asked, rubbing my eyes tiredly.

"Fourteen, but yes, he's underage," Olivia said, her nose buried in a book.

"Then how could he get past the Age Line when George and Fred couldn't even do it?" I said.

"Dunno, maybe he asked an older student to put his name in?" Cho suggested.

"But how did he manage to become the fourth Champion when it's only supposed to be three?" I continued, furrowing my brow, "This doesn't make sense."

"Agreed, well, I'm off to do my hair." Cho sighed and walked to the bathroom. I don't know why she bothered, it always looked perfect.

"I'll do mine, too." I decided suddenly, surprising myself. I got off my bed too and followed Cho into the bathroom, where I grabbed my hair-curler. She was already waiting for her straightener to warm up when I turned on my curler.

Cho Chang was a very pretty girl, she had almond-shaped dark brown eyes, and the cutest nose I'd ever seen. She had dark, shiny, straight hair with bangs that went to her eyebrows.

I, on the other hand, had wavy brown hair that needed brushing once an hour. And my eyes were oval-shaped and they too were dark brown. The only thing I truly had going for me looks-wise, was my eyelashes, they were so perfect, according to Cho. I always felt they were too short, but she says they're the longest lashes she'd ever seen. 

I tapped my curler quickly so it wouldn't burn me, and raised it to my head. Cho was already straightening her hair.

"Taylor, I never told you this, but I have a crush on Cedric Diggory." She looked at me through the mirror and I snorted, almost burning my head in the process.

"I know," I said, grabbing a new chunk of hair. "The way you act around him is stupid," I told her, letting go of the now-hot curl.

"Do you think I could possibly get a date with him?" She asked me excitedly, moving her hair tool to her bangs now.

"If you stop acting stupid around him," I said, moving to another part of my hair.

"How do I act stupid around him?" She asked me, frowning.

"You giggle like a Hyena around him, it's honestly scary." I joked.

"Well, how should I laugh?"

"Like a normal person." She laughed at this.

"Perfect, now do that with Cedric." Cho laughed at this, too. We both finished our hair, looking like complete opposites.

"Do you want me to do your makeup tomorrow?" Cho asked as we left the bathroom.

"Thanks, I would, actually," I said. I looked at Marietta's fifth of the dorm and remembered my promise to Cho.

"Marietta, you need to clean up," I said, collapsing onto my bed.

"Why? I like it how it is."

"Because the school rule book states that all dorms must be kept tidy and neat," Natalia said, putting down her homework.

"And once again, Natalia, you sound like you swallowed the damn book." Marietta snarked. I pulled out my wand.

"Okay, either clean up all your junk, or I burn it all." I said, "Your choice."

"Okay, okay, I'll clean it." She groaned, getting up off her bed to clean the floor around her bedside table. I watched as she took all her dirty clothes and put them in her hamper, after that I got bored and turned to Olivia.

"How does your brother feel about there being no Quidditch this year?" I asked her. Oliver graduated last year, but he loves Quidditch more than life itself.

"If I told him, he'd be livid and fly back here to have it reinstated. But I haven't. He's too busy with his new team." Olivia rolled her eyes.

"Your brother's kinda hot, though," Natalia said, giggling. She had the biggest crush on Oliver.

"Eugh, that's my flesh and blood you're talking about!" Olivia fake retched.

"It doesn't change the fact she thinks your brother's hot." I giggled. Cho was shaking with silent laughter over on her bed.

"Okay, okay, Taylor, Truth or Dare?" Cho asked suddenly.

"Uh, truth."

"Who is the hottest boy you know?" She asked me.

"Easy, Fred Weasley for sure," I answered.

"Of course you said, Fred Weasley." Natalia rolled her eyes.

"Tay, you're in love!" Olivia squealed as I threw a pillow at her. She threw a silver pillow but accidentally hit Natalia, who fired back with a blue one.

"Girls," Cho said, "Girls! Calm down! Before a Prefect comes in."

"Yeah, we wouldn't want another one of her in here." Olivia said, jokingly pointing to me.

"Go eat a rock!" I laughed.

"Ew, now why would I do such a thing?" Olivia asked, throwing me back my pillow.

"Tay, give someone a Truth or Dare!" Cho said, trying to keep the game going.

"Fine, Cho?" I asked.

"Dare!" She giggled.

"Tomorrow, get Cedric Diggory alone, and kiss him!" I smiled. "Ahh!" 

Cho had thrown a pillow at my face.

"Wow, Cho. You still have to do it, I hope you know that," I said to her, throwing back her pillow.

"I'm tired, I'm going to bed, girls." Olivia yawned and crawled back into her covers. Marietta had already crawled into hers and was just sitting there. Waiting for the lights to be turned off.

Creep.

"Goodnight, girls. I'll get the lights." I said once everyone had crawled into their beds.

And with a wave of my wand, I turned out the lights.


AUTHER'S NOTE

Hello, it's your bestie, and yes, for this book I used my own name because this is what I feel it would be like if I went to Hogwarts.

Also, I have been diagnosed with ADHD. This might explain why it took me seven hours to write this. Sorry this was a short chapter, but there's nothing that really goes on in Taylor's life, and the hair curling was stretching it because I never do my hair.

Requests are open!
