Sirius had been getting into the carriage with the others when he caught sight of Tori. She was around four other girls, three he recognized the other was probably from another house. He saw that she had caught his eyes, she looked away quickly and boarded the carriage with the other girls. He was shocked, he'd never known her as one to hang with girls! Course she had talked to them before but it wasn't often, it was just weird to see her with girls instead of surrounded by the group of them.

He elbowed Remus so he would stop talking and said, "Hey guys, I just saw Tori!" The guys instantly stopped and James broke out, "Where? How come she didn't some sit with us?" Sirius shrugged. "I don't know but I just saw her getting in with Eden, Claire, Lily, and some other girl," he told them. The guys seemed to be feeling the same way he did. They stay silent and thought about this great turn of events.

Tori chatted on the carriage, she still wasn't comfortable about being spotted. Sirius had already probably told the guys and they were probably mad at her. She sighed, if they were mad at her than so be it. She started to relax and pushed the thought out of her mind and enjoyed the conversation about their new classes.

When they arrived Tori started to become uneasy again and started to shift uncomfortably so it looked like she needed to go to the bathroom! "You ok Tori?" Eden asked. Tori gave her a weak smile. "Just nervous," she said weakly. "'Bout what? Nothing new's happening except getting new classes," Eden said half laughing.

"It's about the guys, Sirius saw me with you guys. He's probably told the others and they're probably mad at me," she confessed. "Well if they are that's their problem-what're you, their property or something?" she laughed. Tori laughed, "Yeh I guess your right." "Come on, we don't want to get left behind," Eden said. She grabbed Tori's sleeve and dragged her through the crowd.

The sorting lasted forever, Tori's stomach ached and was dieing to eat something. Claire had suggested eating her nails, the other girls didn't approve of this. So while Claire chewed on her nails the other girls groaned. Eden suddenly let out a gasp and shoved Tori, Tori glared at her. "What the hell-" she hissed. Eden elbowed her and whispered frantically, "Look! Look at Rolando Nepkins! Oh my gawd! He turned from nerd to total hottie!" Tori turned to the Hufflepuff table, she already knew Rolando Nepkins, he had always been nice to her. But Eden had defiantly been right-Rolando had lost his bad acne and his muggle braces and now had beautiful skin and remarkable white teeth. He was undoubtedly hot.

"Wow he did," Tori whispered. "OH! You know him! Introduce me!" she whispered anxiously. "ME!" Tori hissed. "No! He's just a friend! I'm not gunna hock you up!" "Oh please Tori! Just introduce me and then you can dash," Eden begged. "I don't know-alright if that's all you want me to do," Tori said with a sigh. Eden wiggled with excitement and tried to make a poor attempt to pay attention to Dumbledore's speech.

When Dumbledore finished the finally ate. The four girls ate as much as they could until they thought they would be sick. Tori was very grateful when they went to their dormitories after. Her eyes were heavy as though someone had strapped a metal block to them. As soon as she reached her dormitory she put on her pj's and collapsed onto her four poster bed and knocked out.

The next morning she woke up very drowsy and her belly seemed to be popping out more. She sighed and put on a bigger sized shirt so it was easy to overlook her stomach. She went into the bathroom and applied the make up the girls told her to put on. After, her black shadowed eyes, glittery skin, and juicy lips made her look gorgeous. She smiled at herself and headed down to breakfast with her friends.

When she walked into the Great Hall she instantly spotted the guys, her heart sank and her good mood was spoiled. She wished that she could just pass them up and stay with her friends, but then she'd have to deal with them later. She might as well do it now. "I'll see you guys later," she muttered. The girls looked up and followed her gaze, they frowned and shook their heads and sat close by.

Tori headed over to the guys and sat down next to Sirius. "Hey guys," she said trying to act casual. "What's up?" she asked when the didn't speak. "Nothing," Sirius muttered. "Our friends just ditched us and tried to ignore us but beside that it's bloody perfect." Tori frowned. "You guys-" "Why'd you ditch us?" James burst. She was about to speak then Remus busted out too, "And how come you haven't sent us any mail. I didn't even get one owl from you!" Tori was about to respond when Peter interrupted, "And why are you hanging out with them?" He nodded towards the girls in a disgusted glare.

Tori glared down at her feet, her eyes brimming with tears. "Well?" James demanded. "We're still here Tori!" Sirius said cruelly. Tori had no idea the guys would feel this way…maybe she shouldn't had ditched them. WAIT! No! She shouldn't feel this way, she thought. They shouldn't be treating her this way! She shouldn't have to take this.

"Well Tori?" Remus said glaring. This cracked Tori. "BECAUSE MY MOTHER DIED!" she howled. People stopped talking and looked at her, tears ran down her face in humiliation and pain. "I didn't tell you guys cus I knew you'd start asking me questions-and you just proved it," she said. She stormed out of the Hall and slammed the great doors as hard as she could. She went to the girls bathroom and sobbed her heart out on her arm.

Later on she went back to the girls who know hated the Marauder's guts. She reapplied her make up and waited until her eyes were back to normal before going to her class. The girls had already went to their class, this was bad for Tori. This was Tori's first tie finding the Divination classroom and she was completely lost! She searched the halls and tried desperately tried to find anything that looked like a place fore a classroom.

While she was searching she heard someone call her. "Hey!" She turned around. A boy-he seemed her age-was standing a few feet behind her. He had light brown hair that was spiked and grey eyes. She smiled at him and walked over to him hopping her would know where the classroom was.

"Hi-do you know where the Divination classroom is?" she asked. The boy grinned and said, "I'm trying to find it myself." He had a neat accent-he seemed like he belonged in Australia more than England. She sighed but was relieved she wasn't the only one that couldn't find the class.

"We could search together?" she suggested. He smirked and nodded. It took them a few more minutes before they got tipped off from a portrait of a mother with her baby, she said the class was in the North Tower. The went to the North Tower and FINALLY found it. They quickly climbed up the trap door and sat down quietly trying to listen to what the teacher was saying. It was like they hadn't come late.

When the class was finally over she started to pack her books in her bag when she heard the guy say, "My names Valon by the way." Tori blushed and smiled. "I'm Tori." Valon nodded. "So you're a Gryffindor eh?" he asked. "Yeh," she replied. "Me too."

They had a cool conversation at lunch, she had looked at her friends and lipped, 'talk to ya later.' The girls winked and walked off giggling. She shook her head, he was just cool-nothing more.

"Gawd, Divination is stupid! It was a complete waste of time! I could have been doin' other things besides that," he sneered. "I Thought it was pretty cool," Tori said. "Yeh if ya count having the prof tripping and falling durig class," he laughed. Tori laughed too, it had been pretty funny when Professor Salgaro tripped over her oversized robes.

"I like Potions, now that's somethin' productive!" he continued. Yori shrugged. "Yeh Potions is pretty cool-but I like Transfiguration better," Tori said. Valon shrugged. "Yeh I guess that's pretty cool too."

They talked about subjects, muggles, friends, girls (Valon started this conversation), Hogsmeade, and all kinds of things. Tori thought, wow, I've never met a guy like this. I can talk about anything to him-I couldn't do that with the guys. The guys had been protective of her and always discouraged her from other guys. But Valon did the exact opposite, she would tell him a guys she liked or thought was cute and he'd tell her what the guys was like and if it was a good match. One guys she thought was supper hot turned out to really be a perve and a very shallow guys-she didn't think twice about him since. He pointed out guys to her that he would think would suit her or she would be interested in. He was just like Lily and the other girls-but better informed.

At dinner they talked and she introduced him to the girls who liked him just as much as she did. They all laughed at his jokes and took his advise. However, while she had been laughing at one of his jokes about how he thought Professor McGonagal seemed to have a stick up her ass, she hadn't noticed the four Marauders were carefully watching her. The glared at her jealously and in disgust-they couldn't understand her needs.

Vixen Black: It's ok, I would kinda think that too

Padfoot's Sidekick: Thanks for staying with us! Really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, lol. Don't worry, she won't leave forever.

Sark's Heart: No worries. It seems like something's wrong with the Author Alerts cus mine doesn't work either. Don't worry. Keep reviewing!

Oh and I MUST tell you. I don't own Valon. If you've noticed he's originally from Yu-gi-Oh. I know I'm weird but I watch the show for him-he's so hot even if he's an animated charrie! Just wanted to let you know incase someone's out there watching-I'm very paranoid, lol.
