As always, Viv, as my current partner-in-crime, can be fully blamed for this if you feel the need. 
These six kids are complex and confusing and I can fully guarantee that you'll want to strangle at least one of them by the time the plot is in full swing. The Slytherin's push it into a PG-13 plot simply because of their personalities and especially their behaviour towards members of the opposite gender so, yeah, you'll need to be 13 to apply.
If you apply, I can PM you a more detailed idea of what the characters and the plot is like if you have difficulty making your mind up about who you want. Just like everyone else, they're not what they seem to be on the surface at times.
But now onto the interesting stuff!
Needed: Four people who are approved for a seventh year student, preferably in possession of: memories of being a teenager, the ability to follow a somewhat confusing plot and spare time.
Plot summary:
Leah is desperately in love with Keiran, who can't stand her and is determined to set her up with his brother, Neil. But Neil is secretly dating Leah's cousin, Kiley, who is slowly developing a crush on Kaden. When Carlin dumps Kaden to chase after Neil, Kiley has to decide which brother she wants more while Kaden starts to fall for Leah. Keiran is torn between Carlin and Kiley but the most important thing on Kiley's mind is finding out who ate her last cookie.
Character List:
Leah Matthews: A calm and collected Ravenclaw and Kiley’s cousin. They grew up together so they’re close even though they’re almost complete opposites at times. Although Leah can reel off almost any fact that you’ll ever need to know about magic, she’s hopelessly clueless when it comes to matters of the heart. She wouldn’t notice someone flirting with her if they had a neon light flashing above their head and yet she somehow fell in love with Keiran between studying and tutoring her cousin.
Kiley Matthews: A sweet, if slightly ditzy, Hufflepuff, Kiley envies her cousin’s photographic memory but has the knowledge of love and romance that Leah lacks. She’s been secretly dating Neil for almost two years and has hopes of marrying him after seventh year but lately she’s been keeping a secret from him. After an embarrassing encounter with Kaden, Neil’s brother, Kiley has developed a crush on him and is starting to wonder if she fell for the wrong brother. She loves Neil but she can’t help but to notice that her pulse races every time she sees Kaden.
Keiran Lansdale: A Ravenclaw with Slytherin-like qualities, Keiran isn’t a guy to annoy. He has a sharp temper and two brothers who would back him up without asking questions until later. He doesn’t believe in love and the closest he’s ever come to it is a not-so-platonic affection for the girl he tutors in Potions, Kiley. He doesn’t know she’s dating his brother so he’s considered asking her out but always stopped himself at the last minute for reasons that he doesn’t completely understand. Carlin catches his eye but before attraction can develop into anything else, he realises that she’s his brother’s ex-girlfriend and therefore strictly off-limit.
Kaden Lansdale: Kaden knows that he’s handsome and doesn’t hesitate to flirt with a girl even if he knows that she’s got a boyfriend. If she’s willing to flirt with him despite dating someone else then it’s not his problem. The only loyalty Kaden shows is to his brothers but he’s still rather hurt and confused when Carlin dumps him after dating her for almost a year and he’s absolutely furious when he sees her flirting with his brother. He takes to spending more time in the library to avoid seeing them flirting and that’s where he meets Leah. She’s sweet and almost naive – the complete opposite to Carlin – and Kaden finds himself crushing on her before he even realises it. But opposites never really stay together...do they?
Neil Lansdale: His brothers may be Slytherin and Ravenclaw but Neil is a Gryffindor through and through; brave, reckless and loves taking risks. So the idea of keeping his girlfriend secret from his brothers and her cousin was a challenge that he accepted immediately. Kiley is the only girl that Neil can ever imagine himself with so he’s puzzled and slightly annoyed when Carlin starts flirting with him but he’s too polite to tell her to get lost. Both Neil and Kiley get increasingly jealous throughout the plot and that leads to them betraying each other more and more in an attempt to get even with each other.
Carlin Lennox: She’s a pretty Slytherin with enough confidence and charm to attract almost any boy she wants so she longs for a challenge. Kaden was almost a challenge but she soon spots the real challenge in his brother, Neil. She’s a backstabbing beauty who won’t let anyone stand in her way when she sees something that she wants but her long-time attraction to Keiran might make this the one time she loses at her own game when she begins to wonder if a real relationship wouldn’t be more fun than dating boys for a period of time and then moving onto her next conquest.
So, yeah, please PM me or reply here if you're interested in taking part in the plot!

The plot really isn't as complicated as it sounds, lol. And there's always room to add in more chaos.
