Chapter 1
The immense Hogwarts Express blew its whistle announcing its near departure. Platform 9 ¾ was full of students and their parents biding their farewell as they leave for another year of school.
Diana Isabella Victoria Aurelius; seventeen years of age with golden blonde curls hanging down her shoulders stood on the side of the platform observing the people around her. All the parents giving their children warm hugs and showering them with kisses.
The train blew its whistle once more. "Well here goes." Victoria whispered to herself as she walked closer to the Hogwarts Express.
It took a while before she got settled into an empty compartment. The next hour or so of the trip was relatively peaceful. Tori had already changed into her new Hogwarts robes. She patiently waited for their arrival at the station. She spent the last few minutes browsing through her new textbooks and practicing several basic spells. Growing impatient by the second, she stuffed her books back into her trunk and headed for the door. As she reached for the handle, the door swung open, revealing a tall young man with broad shoulders, dark hair and glasses.
"What are you doing here?" She asked him
"Funny, I should ask you that question." He replied as he closed the door behind him.
"I don't owe you any explanation." She said as she brushed passed him.
He caught her by the wrist and she turned around to face him.
"You didn't even tell me you were coming"
"Why do you care?" Tori asked.
He was silent trying not to look at Tori directly in the eyes.
"I'm sorry. About everything." He slowly said.
"Good"
The train made a complete stop and she hurried off.
Harry followed her but she was soon lost into the sea of black robes.
