Vikki spun around and stood face to face with Owen Brown. She sighed in relief that it wasn't a professor, and then got excited again realizing he was actually talking to her.

"Oh…hi…Owen…" she breathed with obvious ecstasy.

"Wow, what a show that was back there, no one really expected something like that from you…" he grinned.

"Y-yeah…" she stuttered nervously.

He started laughing.

She stood there awkwardly looking at him as he laughed wildly, feeling embarrassed and self conscious. Is there something in my hair? Is my uniform backwards? She thought, thinking that he was laughing at her appearance. Then she discovered, instead of laughing at her looks, he was laughing at the milk incident. What an idiot I am! She shook her head.

"That was so classic, cat fight I'd say," he said warmly, as he put an arm over her shoulder.

Vikki's eyes widened, HE TOUCHED ME! HE IS TOUCHING ME! She screamed in her head. His face was inches from hers and she could smell his breath oftoast and cheese.

"So, Vikki baby, you wanna go to Hogsmeade tonight?" he asked her sweetly.

She was stunned, had Owen just asked her out? Vikki felt her cheeks grow hot as she asked in a squeak of a voice, "Just you and me?"

He winked, "Of course, babe. What do ya say?"

She gulped and nodded ferociously. He started to laugh again and together they went back to the Griffindor common room. As they stepped inside the entrance to a warm and cozy common room, Maggie stepped out of her hiding place behind a random statue and smirked.

"That's what you get for messing with me and my makeup." She growled with an evil glint in her blue eyes.

The sun was setting and Vikki stood at the front doors, waiting for her date to show up. She'd been standing there in the same spot for a long while, but Owen still hasn't come down yet. Patience, she kept telling herself.

Finally, she heard footsteps. Feeling ecstatic and the butterflies in her stomach, she tugged at her skirt and hastily raked through her hair with her fingers. Preparing herself for her love, she waited for him to turn the corner.

But it wasn't him.

"P-professor Snape…" she stammered.

"What are you doing." He asked curtly, hardly parting his lips.

"Uh…Watching the beautiful sunset!" she muttered.

"What sun, the sun has set already," he observed, narrowing his eyes.

"Oh, ha ha, I must've fallen asleep with my eyes open!" she said nervously.

"If I find anything out of the ordinary tomorrow, I'd know it's you." He informed her, his eyes flashing.

"Yes, sir," She replied.

He stalked off, his black robes billowing behind him.

Sighing sadly, knowing that'd he never come. Feeling extremely disheartened, she headed back up to the dormitory.

The next morning at breakfast, she sat with only Jasmine and Nikki, Maggie was nowhere to be seen, neither was Owen. Vikki had told her two friends what had happened the night before and was rewarded with comforting words.

"It's okay; he's a jerk anyway…" Jasmine or Nikki said.

"Yeah, he's not worth it," the other Jasmine or Nikki said soothingly.

"Um, you guys…I wanna tell you something," started Vikki.

"What's up?" Jasmine or Nikki asked nicely.

Vikki explained her encounter with the Dark Gangsters. She expected her two friends to believe her, but they didn't.

"Okay, Vikki, you've really gone too far, we can believe that Owen asked you out and totally showed you up, but now Dark Gangsters? How much attention do you want?" Jasmine or Nikki rolled her eyes.

"I'm telling the truth!" Vikki protested.

"For sure." The other Jasmine or Nikki said sarcastically.

Vikki was almost screaming, "I'm telling the truth! Why won't you believe me?"

"Would you believe us if we said we saw Dark Gangsters on Hogwarts' property?" Nikki or Jasmine demanded.

"YEAH!" Vikki said defiantly.

"Yeah, right." Both Jasmine and Nikki rolled their eyes.

"Fine! Don't believe me; just wait until they get here." Vikki said angrily. With that, she stomped out of the Great Hall.

Just as she turned the corner, she ran into Maggie, and Owen, who were at the time, snogging away like their lips were glued together. Maggie caught Vikki's eye and smirked with her mouth still attached to Owen's.

"Well, well, if it isn't Vikki…" Maggie spat, she said Vikki's name like it was dirty and grotesque.

Vikki was speechless; she knew Maggie could be a total bitch, but this?

"We're dating now," Maggie explained smugly.

"Yeah," Owen said, "Ha, did you really expect me to go out with you? You actually waited at the front doors?"

When she didn't respond, he took it as a yes and burst out laughing again; but this time he was laughing at her stupidity.

Vikki was deeply insulted and tears sprung to her eyes, making her eyesight blurred.

"Aww, look at the poor fatherless baby, she's crying," cooed Owen spitefully, "You're the dumbest ass I've ever seen, did you really think I'd go out with you? You're stupid, you're ugly, you have ugly hair, your face is demented and you can't put makeup on properly."

A single tear trickled down Vikki's cheek and she quickly wiped it away. Wanting to hear no more, she turned away from them and ran outside, hearing hateful laughter behind her.
