Author's note: Hello my fellow comrades! Chapter 3 is here! Thanks again for all the reviews and story alerts! I have decided that the characters are going to be fifth years instead of fourth. I think it will work out better that way. Some very interesting stuff happens in this chapter… or does it? I will try to update soon but I have this really crappy project. Grrrrr. I hope to update within the next few weeks. This is only half of the chapter so I will post part too. Haha enjoy!
Chapter 3 and ½
Victoria Hauser's POV
I started to walk toward the compartment. I reached the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
I glanced to see my three best girl friends and the boy I like asleep.
Lily got up looking angry but amused at the same time. "What in the name of Merlin's pants did you run out for?"
Albus stirred but didn't wake.
I ignored the question and grabbed my stuff. I looked at all three of them with a sorta sad smile on my face. "I'll tell you later when we have our GRC" I said. (GRC means Gryffindor Room Chat, it's like our place where we have long discussions at)
Lily opened her mouth to retort but Rose beat her to it "Ok Vic, but you have some explaining to do. Where are you going?"
"Long story, but to make it short I found a first year girl sitting by herself. I told her I would walk her down to the boats. I'll see you guys at the feast." I looked for my jacket, which was the only thing missing from my trunk.
I saw it but I really didn't want to get it. Albus Potter was sitting on it. "Crap" I muttered.
I turned to the girls "Can one of you bring me my jacket?" I said sweetly.
They smirked and said together "nope"
My smile faded and I breathed out really loud. I put my stuff down in an empty seat and walked over to Albus.
I nudged him in the shoulder but he didn't move. I bent down to grab my jacket sleeve off the floor when I felt a hard push in my lower back.
I fell right into Albus Potter's lap.
He woke up with a start to see my face turning beet red, with me staring up at him. I tried to get up but he wrapped his arms around me.
My face went even redder. I tried fighting the urge to sigh; thankfully it worked, so I glared at my best friends.
"Which one of you pushed me into his lap" I said angrily.
Lily, Rose, and Melody just sat their smiling sweetly.
Melody then stood up and said "I think we should leave the happy couple alone, don't you girls?" They burst out laughing and grabbed their stuff.
"Fine! Fine just leave me but Lily. Can you take Bailey down to Hagrid she's five compartments down." I said with a hint of bitterness in every fine I used.
"Sure Victoria!" Lily said before closing the compartment door.
I glanced up to see Albus staring at me.
"…Albus"
"Yes my peach?"
I fought the urge to smile again, and then I remembered that pretty blonde chick. "LET ME GO!"
"Not until you tell me why you're mad at me" he said smirking
"I'm not mad at you…..I'm FURIOUS at you"
"Tell me why or I will….kiss your forehead, I could go to your lips but I wanted to save that one for more drastic measures" he said moving his eyebrows up and down.
"… I'd rather you not do that. Your girlfriend" I said that as bitterly as I could "might be mad at you"
He let me go shocked. I went over to grab my stuff but he grabbed my arm. "I don't have a girlfriend"
I looked into his eyes, trying to figure out if I believed him or not.
"Let go Albus." I whispered.
He let go and I grabbed my stuff. I looked at him one more time, holding back tears, and left the compartment for the second time that day.
I got off the train, looking around for my friends. I saw the familiar black hair of Melody mixed with the reds of Lily and Rose.
I walked over to them and said "Did you make sure she got to Hagrid alright?"
They all jumped and Lily turned around and said "Yes, Oh Victoria she is the sweetest thing. She keeps talking about you. She asked me if you were ok. She said you looked….. Sad" She glanced at my half smile and continued "Let me guess you didn't make up with your future"
"Don't even go there" I said. I started walking and they followed me. I could already tell that this year was going to be an interesting year.
