Victoria Dawn Irwin smiled for the first time in the last two minutes. She was grinning like an idiot as she boarded the Hogwarts Express along with her cousin James, and their friends Todd, Steve and Austin.

It was her first year at Hogwarts, her friends' second. The five best friends had decided that Victoria, just like them would be a Gryffindor. She didn't really care what house she was in, as long she was with her friends.

And I will make a girl friend this year, she had decided. Smiling at how she looked, she walked on. She could literally feel her new ginger hair waving. She winced as she realized how stupid must've red looked. She had black-brown hair, and pure hazel eyes – but her aunt (James' mom) had charmed her hair to look red and eyes to look dark blue. She didn't mention why, she just charmed her hair. Victoria didn't ask any ways. She started imagining why had her aunt changed her hair color, when James broke her chain of thoughts.

'Yo, red riding idiot, that's our compartment. Come on,' James rolled his eyes, pushing her inside the compartment, making her fall against her seat.

'Ow, James… Uggh. You are a mess.' She groaned, scratching her short red hair, making it scrappier than ever.

This made the guys laugh really hard. Victoria, at first glared. Then she started laughing along with them. Suddenly with a jerk, the train started moving, making the five fall down on their trunks.

'I have a feeling this year is going to be awesome!' Todd declared, delicately placing his trunk inder his seat.

'You say that every year. I can't wait to see that Hazel girl! I have got a new prank for her. You'll see.' James snickered. Austin shook his head.

'You know she is a girl and pranking a girl is like, wrong!' he pointed out raising an eye brow.

'Come on, just because you think Lucie is cool doesn't mean all girls are. I mean have you ever looked at Hazel? No one can be that fat. And ugly. I wonder why she is a Gryffindor.' James retorted.

'James you're being mean. What did she ever do to you?' Victoria said, fixing her hair as she glanced at her reflection . Her hair went back to their original wild position. 'Oh, come ON stupid hair stay put!'

'She told on me. It was a perfect apportunity to knock Flint off his broomstick. SHE TOLD ON ME! McGonagall docked 200 points from Gryffindor.'

'Oh really? Then you should definitely be angry with her. Just because she saved some dude's life.' Steve said, sarcastically.

'Hello are you on my side, or hers?'

'Yours, but really. Lay off. You are being harsh.' Austin stated, while the others nodded.

'Fine but if there is anything-' The compartment door slid open and two girls walked in. Both looked like first years, one of them had black and wavy hair and gray eyes, while the other one had bushy blonde hair.

'Excuse us, we are sorry if we have disturbed you . But a boy has lost a toad, have you seen one around?' the girl with bushy hair inquired.

'Oh sure. Here he is.' James said, pushing Todd hardly.

'Huh?' The one with black hair gasped. Victoria grinned.

'Sorry, this is Todd and not Toad. James, not funny.' She said between her laughters.

The girls frowned, the one with bushy hair spoke, 'Well, I see you are Americans?'

'Uhh Yeah.' Victoria mumbled.

'Fascinating, I have always wanted to meet one.' The bushy-haired one smiled. 'Hermione Granger by the way. This is my friend Angela Black.'

'Hey, nice to meet you.' Angela smirked at James who cowered back in his seat.

'I am Vic- I am Tori. The paranoid one is my cousin, James. That's Todd, Austin and Steve.'

'Hey.'

'Cool, huh?'

'Yeah… it was er- pleasant to meet you.' Todd smiled.

'SO you have seen no Toad?' Angela asked, her grey eyes shining.

'No.'

'See you at Hogwarts, you lot. Bye,' Hermione said pulling Angela out with her.

'Bye!'

'Well I have got to go meet Kennedy. She might kill me if I am not there so later guys!' Todd said rushing out of the compartment.

'Crush?' Victoria raised an eye brow.

'Crush.' James shrugged.

'Ahem, Crush.' Austin declared.

'Crush it is.' Steve confirmed.

'So how long till we reach Hogwarts?' Victoria asked. The three boys gaped at her. 'James you are wearing a watch!'

'SO?'

'So the time?'

'Oh, you mean this wrist band with numbers , needles and an animation charm?'

'What are you on about?'

Austin sighed and rested his head against his hands , while scratching his blond hair. 'Dude, it is a wrist watch.' Checking the time he said, 'in about thirty more minutes maybe. What do we do in the mean while?'

'Sleep- or CHANGE. I mean, into our Hogwarts uniform.' Steve jumped up, grasped their uniforms before dragging James outside along with Austin. 'Vicky- change into your uniform. Quick.'

'Oh okay.' She rapidly shut the compartment door, slid of her t-shirt and capris and jumped into an itchy skirt and school shirt. She hastily threw her outfit into her trunk and jumped into her shoes after putting on her socks. She didn't bother brushing her hair. Looking through her uniform bag, she came across a tie. She didn't know how to wear it so she attached it to her belt. She tucked her shirt inside her skirt and fell on her seat and sighed.

A bang on her the door meant that they had reached Hogwarts. Gulping she opened the door and readily faced a deadpanned James outside with his hair neatly set, a smirking Todd with a comb in his hand (he glanced at James with a smile), an energized Austin looking super cute in his uniform and of course a grinning Steve with a headphone (which was clearly not attached to any musical device) around his neck.

Victoria then forgot her nervousness and followed the boys out of the Express only to find out that she was on her own from there.

Gulp.
