Hey everybody sorry for the wait. Schoolwork is starting to catch up with me. Well chapter 2 is up now, as you can see. Thanks to all that favorited, added story alerts, or even looked at this story. Again I don't own anything mentioned about Harry Potter (sadly). Well enough with the blabbing and on with the story! (A shout out to 99serrot! Thanks for the support!)
Chapter 2
Albus POV
I looked around at the girls. I was just about to say hi when Victoria got up and said "I'm going for a walk" and pushes past me. I wince a little when she slams the door. We all just stare at each other open mouthed, gaping, until Melody says "What in the name of Merlin, did you do?"
"Me!" I said. "I didn't do anything"
Lily snorts and says "Yeah and I'm a hippogriff" I glare at her and I take Victoria's empty seat.
I run back through what I just did. I walked in the compartment… no that can't be it; I didn't even say anything for Merlin's sakes!
I look up to see Melody, Rose, and Lily whispering.
"What is it?" I say. They probably know something, I thought to myself.
Rose said "Nothing you need to worry about dear cousin, nothing at all."
I raise my eyebrows. Lily spoke and said "We have a theory but we won't tell you till we figure some things out. Like first, tell me what you did as soon as you got off the train."
I think back and say "I said goodbye to mum and dad. I get on the train and start off to find Victoria." Melody smirked but I continued on. "I ran into Sarah, you know that other chick that's one of our distant cousins or something. She's grandma Weasley's cousin's daughter or something. I think she starts this year and she is really excited. Anyways I said goodbye and then I ran into some other guys I know. Then I came in here and got the door slammed almost in my face by the girl that I…"
I shut my mouth hurriedly. I have no idea where that came from. It's nothing Albus; you can't like her, why are you even thinking about this anyways?
I glance up to see all the girls smirking at me.
"Albus likes somebody doesn't he girls?" Melody said.
I roll my eyes and say "No I don't"
I glance out the window as the girls began to start talking again.
I figure I will wait and discuss this with Scorpius. He'll know what to do. Then I soon drifted off to sleep with my thought on a certain blond haired witch.
Victoria's POV
I slammed the door upset and mad all at once. I wanted to scream at myself for being so stupid.
I'm walking so fast that I can't even tell where I'm going.
I run into a boy that reminds me a lot of the one I just left. He put his arm around my shoulder and said "Sister! What brings you into this neck of the woods?"
I glare at him and say "Not now James"
"Somebody's a little testy now aren't we?" came another voice. Fred Weasley just came out of the compartment that James and I were standing in front of.
I rolled my eyes and tried to leave. I guess I should have known that a fourth year girl was no match for two fifth year boys.
They lifted me up around the arms and half dragged, half lifted me into the compartment.
"LET GO YOU GITS!" I screamed at them.
They laughed and sat me down. I looked at the two of them and they could almost be brothers if they weren't from two different families. For instance they both have identical smirks, which they have on this very second.
I got up and said "Well I guess I will see you guys at the…"
Fred got up and beat me to the door. "No can do little sister" He took my arm as a gentleman at a fancy ball would do and sat me back down on the empty compartment seat. "My lady, your table is ready. Now what would you like as an appetizer this fine sunny Monday" He said in a very fake snobby voice.
I couldn't help but laugh. I replied by saying "A Pumpkin Pasty my kind sir" I got up and pretended to curtsy.
They both laughed and James handed over a Pumpkin Pasty.
"Now" said James, trying to look serious, which he almost mastered.
"What is bothering you little sister" finished Fred.
"Nothing" I said trying to keep a straight face.
I could tell at once that they did not believe me.
"Well," said James. "I guess will just have to go and get Alb…"
I interrupted him before he could finish, "You Will NOT go and get that…that…butt face!"
My face felt hot as the two fifth year boys stared at me. Then their smirks returned and Fred said "Now we definitely are going to go find Albus"
He got up to leave but I jumped in front of the door saying "No brother please, I'll… do whatever you want"
"Little sis this is for your own good. Your marriage status depends on this" he continued.
"I WILL NOT MARRY THAT COCKROACH!" I screamed at the two of them. I left the compartment and slammed that door.
"Gosh Victoria" I muttered to myself. "Doors just don't like you today"
I glanced out the window to see Hogwarts come into view. I then realized I would have to go back and get my stuff from the compartment… that Albus was in.
"Crap!" I said turning around heading toward my doom. I had to stop a couple of times for some first years. I can't believe that was me only three years ago.
I was just a couple compartments away when I heard someone crying. I glanced into the compartment to see a little girl with pin straight brown hair.
I knocked on the compartment door and walked in. The small girl was probably only eleven. I sat down beside her and said "Are you alright sweetie?"
She glanced up and shook her head. Tears were still running down her face. I had a flash back to summer but I quickly put it out of my mind.
I noticed she had the prettiest blue eyes I had ever seen. "What happened?" I said in a soft voice.
"I said goodbye to my parents… and got on… the train" She stopped to blow her noise in a tissue. "Then I came into this compartment and three more girls showed up. They asked who I was and what my parents… were like. I told them my name and that my parents… their not magic people. They started saying that I… didn't need to go… to Hogwarts." Silent tears were streaming down her face and I put an arm around her.
"It's ok honey. You want to know something? I'm a muggle born too" I said gently to her.
"A what?" she asked.
I smiled and said "It means that your… our parents aren't magic folk. They call them muggles in the wizarding world."
She looked up from her lap and smiled.
"There you go" I said smiling.
"What's your name?" she asked, almost shyly.
"My name is Victoria Ring. I'm a Gryffindor fourth year. What's your name?"
"Bailey Heart. As you can see I'm a…. well I really don't know what I am. Since you're a fourth year would I be a first year?"
"Yes you are. When we get off the train you will go toward a big man named Hagrid. He'll take you on boats to Hogwarts. Then you will be sorted into one of the four houses."
"How and what are the houses names?" she asked looking curious, all of the shyness and tears forgotten.
"Well there is Gryffindor, for the brave and noble, Hufflepuff, for the kind and loyal, Ravenclaw, for the witty and smart, and Slytherin…. Well I don't think you really are going to be in that house. There hasn't really been a witch or wizard that has come out nice in that house. The sorting is scary when you first enter the great hall. But I promise it's not hard."
She gaped at me and said "I hope I'm in Gryffindor with you! At least I will know someone. I just hope I'm not in Slytherin."
"You won't be Bailey" I said. I glanced at her clothes seeing she must have already changed. "I'll be back I got to go and change quickly. I'll meet you outside the train ok."
She nodded and said "Ok"
I had almost reached the door before she said "Thanks Victoria… for being my first friend"
I turned around to see that young girl run toward me and wrap her arms around my waist. I hugged her back and replied "Thank you Bailey"
She looked up, confused. "Why"
"You'll figure it out one day" I said as I left the compartment with a smile and a wave.
As I shut the door I whispered "Because you made me forget him for a little while"
Author's note!
Ok this one is a tad shorter than the other one. (Don't throw Dungbombs please!) What do you think about Bailey? Does Albus really like Victoria or will there be another secret lover in the midst. I hope to add another chapter soon and you know the drill. Review, add this story to your favorites, nominate me as author of the year… Just kidding. I could never beat J.K. Rowling.
Until Next time my dear witches and wizards,
Siriusly luvs Harry Potter 3
