Hey guys, my name is LaFay, this is my first FanFiction and very short (Promises to make up for that). I hope it's okay, I'll try and upload every two days :) Enjoy!
Victoria sat on the Hogwarts express contently, looking out of the window as the train sped past the beautiful country. She twirled her loosely curly, light, strawberry blonde hair with her pale fingers. Her violet eyes glazed over in a daydream about the excitement of going back to Hogwarts, her absolutely favourite place of earth.
Victoria heard the compartment door open and her head snapped in its direction with alarm. A tall boy with shoulder length black hair and dark grey eyes waltzed in casually and plonked himself down. Barely noticing her. Victoria realized who the invader was… It was Sirius Black.
Victoria peeked at the open door waiting, sure enough three other boys trailed in. A tall, not as tall as Sirius, boy walked in, his dark hair wild and messy, blue eyes glinting in amusement from behind his crooked glassed, known as none other than Sirius' pain partner in crime, James Potter, next came in Remus, who Victoria knew right away as he was the most polite and kind of the group and often studied with her. His neat brown hair was streaked with gold and his large eyes were the colour of chocolate. Then came Peter, a shy, rather chubby boy who was short and often very excitable.
The boys sat comfortably around the compartment, lounging. Victoria wasn't sure what to say, they probably hadn't noticed her, and she was quiet and shy and often didn't speak to the Infamous Marauders, excepting Remus.
Remus sat next to Victoria and gave her a nice smile, which she returned gratefully.
"Hello, Victoria. How was your summer?" He asked politely.
"It was fine," Victoria lied, without the slightest betrayal of hesitation, "And yours?"
"It went rather well, thank you," He replied warmly. Sirius snapped out of a daze and spotted Victoria sitting in the corner across from him.
"Hey, we got here first, you can't just waltz in here and sit down," Sirius said defensively. James and Peter were looking at Sirius oddly. Victoria felt herself shrink away.
"Oh, S-sorry." She murmured as she stood up and left the compartment, closing the door to here James,
"Padfoot, you twat, she was here before us!" Victoria could just imagine the fake-guilty smile as he replied,
"Oh, I didn't see her…" Victoria wandered down the train to the last carriage.
Finally in Sixth year, Victoria thought with dread, not much longer until I graduate.
Victoria slid open the last compartment door to find a lanky looking boy with slightly greasy black hair and dark eyes, his skin was impossibly pale and his features were sunken. His nose was slightly beak-like and his posture was terrible. Victoria realized with a jolt that this was Severus Snape. He turned a shocked look at her as she opened the door. His face then slowly fell into a set of arrogance and defensiveness.
"What do you want?" He asked venomously.
"I-I'm sorry, I'm looking for a place to sit." Victoria said, her hands played nervously on the edge of her robes; Severus's eyes flicked to the habit then her looked back up at her, his eyes narrowed.
"I guess you can sit in here…" He said reluctantly. Victoria smiled and the boy who seemed taken aback by the expression.
"I've never really met you before," Victoria said more bravely now she was more aware and not being intruded by the notorious pranksters of the school.
"Severus Snape," He mumbled, an odd look fixed on his face as he stared out of the corner of his eye at the beautiful girl.
"My name is Victoria Rosendale, pleased to meet you." She said warmly at the boy. Snape cocked his head slightly then gave a sharp nod of understanding then turned to face outside the window. Victoria almost sighed, Unnoticed, even though I'm in sixth year.
Victoria did have friends, they just happened to be prefects though, and some of them in different houses. Victoria still wondered to this day why the sorting hat had put her into Gryffindor.
"You probably shouldn't sit with me…" A quiet voice peeped from the corner. Victoria looked up startled; twice she was broken out of daydreaming.
"Why ever not?" She asked, a small frown on her brows.
"They'll pick on you too, you know." He said giving her a look as if she were stupid not to know. Victoria shook her head.
"You shouldn't be picked on, it's completely wrong…"
"Really?" He asked cautiously.
"But of course, the way you address people and your derogative terms are also completely unacceptable." Victoria said firmly, looking the boy dead in the eyes. He looked vaguely nervous and peered out the window with more intention.
"Who are you anyway?" Snape said poisonously.
"I told you, Victoria Rosendale." Snape rolled his eyes and looked at her again, eyes narrowed.
"Where are your friends, then?" He asked pointedly. She flinched at the harshness of the words.
"They are prefects, and apparently the first years are particularly troublesome." She said with a sigh. Severus wrinkled his nose.
"Vermin…" He hissed, "But why are you in m- this compartment?" Snape asked.
"I believe I was kicked out of my own," Victoria said with a soft giggle. Snape frowned and shook his head at her.
"Why? Who would-" Snape began as the door flew open and in the doorway stood two Marauders, water balloons in hand.
"Hey, it's that girl we kicked out!" Sirius said to James. Victoria frowned and stood up, hands on hips.
"Just what do you think you are doing, Sirius Black?" Victoria began, "And you too James?" She added with a disappointed look that made James look a bit nervous.
"Well, girly, we are about to commit a prank on Snivellous here!" He said defiantly. Victoria whipped out her wand and exploded the balloons onto the boys, who yelped in surprise.
"What'd you do that for?" Sirius accused.
"You have no right to be berks, now go." She said firmly, never shouting but sounding deeply disappointed and condescending. The boys slowly back away surprised and began to walk away; Victoria caught an amused look in Sirius's eyes before he disappeared. She closed the door and sat down on the seat.
"Why did you do that?" Snape asked in an odd voice. Victoria shrugged and blushed.
"I don't know, you seem good enough when you're not being venomous, also I like helping people against injustice." She said quietly, rubbing her hand along her forearm nervously. Maybe she really had gotten a new friend, or maybe she had just made four new enemies?
Sorry it's so short, it was spontaneous, others will be thought out. I promise next chapter will be FAR more exciting.
Please review :)
Cheers XxXx
