Thanks Piper and Sark's heart! I'm gunna add a twist with Tori now lol. Hope you enjoy!
The next morning the boys got up from their new dormitories (after fighting over which boy would get the bed they wanted). The four boys also shared their dormitory with two other boys, Frank Longbotton and Andy Prewett.
All four boys, after getting dressed into the new school robes, walked down into the Common Room. With their heavy eyes they saw Tori sitting on a chair by the fireplace waiting for them. But suddenly their tired sleepy moods were lifted. Tori had her school robes on like everybody else which wasn't unusual, but her hair! Her hair, once long and dark brown, was now up to her jaw and was pitch black!
James's eyes widened twice their usual size, Sirius's mouth was open, Remus couldn't understand why she had cut her hair, and Peter didn't seemed to mind, in fact he thought it looked nice.
"Why'd you cut your hair?" James asked amazed. Tori bit her lip and replied, "I just thought I needed a change is all."
"I think it looks nice," Remus lied. Peter nodded though he wasn't lying.
"Thanks guys," she said slightly irritated. James and Sirius nodded too out of politeness.
"Shall we go to breakfast then?" Peter asked.
"Yeh I guess," James said speaking up again. She the five of them ate their breakfast and headed to their first lesson, History of Magic.
To James and Sirius the subject was terrible. Sirius was starting to fall asleep and James's head kept falling off his hand, while Peter was staring into space thinking who knows what. Although Remus and Tori were doing quite well. Both taking notes, Tori shared hers with Peter and Remus showing his to Sirius and James Though Remus seemed to be taking notes and paying attention because he had to or he would be falling asleep like the others. Tori on the other hand seemed to be very interested about the subject and was putting more detail into her notes than Remus.
After History of Magic (which the boys celebrated) James and Sirius started to scoff about how boring it was.
"I've never been so bored in my life! I was on;y listening for two minutes before I knocked out!" Sirius cried.
"I can't really say I learned much…but I could tell you mow many quills I counted on Binns's desk," James joked.
"Come on, it wasn't that bad," Remus said. Sirius and James rolled their eyes.
"I thought it was very interesting! I never knew half that stuff about Merlin!" Tori said excited.
Sirius, James, and Peter gaped at her in amazement.
"Are you mental! That was the boringest thing in my life!" Peter cried.
Tori shrugged. "Well once you the past the way Binns talks it's real interesting. You just need to listen carefully," she said.
The five friends walked over to their next lesson, Herbology . Their teacher was a horrible wicked man that greatly resembled a toad. He wore ugly lime green robes that disgusted most students but none of them dared say anything in front of this horrible teacher. The ugly toad-like man briskly trotted into the Greenhouse. "There will be no misbehavior in my lesson. You will call me sir or Professor Violient," he croaked icily.
" I don't expect any of you to achieve standard level in Herbology since it does not include silly spells and incantations. But you will pay attention and you will learn even if I have to pound it in your small heads," he continued cruelly.
Tori leaned over to mutter to Sirius about how evil this teacher was, but that was a terrible mistake.
Professor Violient seemed to have launched himself at her in a quick second, his face was inches from hers.
"Would you like to tell me what is so important that you must interrupt us?" he hissed. His breath stank and she almost coughed in disgust.
"I-I thought you were done," she said nervously.
"What's your name you foolish girl?" he sneered at Tori.
"T-Tori Gonzales," she said. Her eyes were becoming bright with shame and her cheeks turning bright red with embarrassment.
"Well Miss Gonzales, can you tell me what are the effects of the Mandrake?" he hissed. Tori had read her Herbology book and actually knew this question.
"It can sure any kind of hex and curse and can cure acne," she answered. Violient's face flushed a very ugly color. "Where can you find the Mandrake?"
Tori bit her lip, she didn't know this question. "Uh…um…er…" she tried desperately to answer but was too nervous about getting the question wrong.
"I'm waiting," he sneered. She would have burst into tears but every student was watching and she didn't want to be known as the cry-baby.
"Albania?" she finally said, her voice quivering.
"Five points from Gryffindor. That was incorrect, the Mandrake can be found in South Asia. I suggest you pay more attention Miss Gonzales than talking to your class-mates," he sneered.
He turned away like nothing had just happened and continued the lesson. Tori was looking down at her feet, her eyes were full of tears and her cheeks were now tomato red. All the other Gryffindors were glaring at Violient and also at her.
James and Sirius were about to tell off Violient but Remus and Peter elbowed them. Tori sniffled and whipped her wet face, she looked up and stared daggers at Violient and glared at the other Gryffindors that had blamed her for loosing points.
After the horrible lesson Tori almost ran out of the Greenhouse angrily. The four boys almost had to run after her, when they finally caught up with her her face was full with tears and her watery eyes showed nothing but pure hatred.
"That foul beast! She hissed. She was striding to the next lesson which was Charms. The boys were almost sprinting after her.
"How could I know that question! We don't study Mandrakes will next years!" she hissed. She was whipping her face with her sleeves hurriedly determined not to let the other students see her cry. The boys didn't know what to say.
The rest of the day, Tori carried on with her bad mood. When dinner came she told them she wasn't hungry and wanted to get started on homework. So for the five friends their first day wasn't such a hit.
