I am so sorry my fellow readers! I have neglected you all from the story of Victoria Hauser! School is a dreadful place with lots of homework but I digress. Heres to all of you out there who are still following me on this journey.

Enjoy!

Victoria's POV

I woke up with a start.

Coffee had decided to jump on me before my alarm had gone off.

"Bloody cat!" I exclaimed as I looked at my alarm clock. It read 7:34.

"OH MY HIPPOGRIFFS!" I yelled trying to find my uniform. Thanking Merlin that I showered the night before after Bailey and her friend had left.

I found my shirt and skirt, yanked them on and went hunting for my shoes. After I had everything situated I chanced a glance in the mirror.

My hair was down.

Now if you know me, I am the one who always has their hair in a ponytail, always.

"Great Merlin" I hissed under my breath as I dove for my red and gold trunk.

Five minutes later and a couple of newly found chocolate frogs, my trunks contents spread out on my bed and I couldn't even find a ponytail holder.

I grabbed my schoolbag, wand, and ran down the stairs to the great hall. As I got to the doors, it hit me. Lily said she was going to do a makeover on me this year. She probably stole all of my precious hair bows.

I walked in and tried to ignore the stares as I walked to the Gryffindor table.

"What happened to… Woah Vic I never knew you wore your hair down!" said Scorpius whose mouth was full of bacon.

I shot a look at Scorpius and turned to face my best friends who were all smiling at me.

"Why? In the name of Merlin's Pants did you take my ponytail holders! I always have my hair up!" I half yelled at them.

"I told you, you were going to change this year." said Lily in a calm serious tone of voice.

I shot a mock glare at Lily and looked around at our table. One person was missing.

"Where is Albus?" I asked casually to the girls but Scorpius was the one who answered.

"Looking for your future husband I take it, hold on I might be able to bring him over" he said with a smirk. I could feel payback for last night rising up and it was coming really fast. Before I could do anything Scorpius was on the table.

"IF I COULD HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! THERE IS A LADY HERE LOOKING FOR A CERTAIN BLACK HAIRED, BESPECKLED BOY BY THE NAME OF A.."

I jumped on the table and yelled "SCORPIUS MALFOY DON'T YOU DARE MAKE ME COME OVER THERE!"

He just looked at me and mouthed "payback"

I was about to tell him where he was going to find payback when I heard McGonagall say "VICTORIA HAUSER AND SCORPIUS MALFOY!"

We looked at her and smiled. "Hi Minnie! We were just having a lovely chat about who Victoria was going to marry one day" said Scorpius.

I smacked Scorpius on the arm so hard he fell off the table. The Great Hall busted into a fit of laughter.

I jumped down from the table and grabbed Scorpius by the arm.

Great, I thought, This is just a grand way to start off my first day as a fifth year. I drug Scorpius to the Head table. I glanced up and down the table to see my professor's faces. The Headmaster looked like he was about to crack a smile. He winked at me and turned toward McGonagall.

I looked into the eyes of my head of house. She just stood there for a second as if deciding the most gruesome punishment.

"Since it is the first day back I will not be giving you a detention. I think it is a record at Hogwarts for somebody to almost get a detention on the first day. Well except for James and Fred." She paused and I heard behind me "MINNIE!" from two voices. I chuckled.

"But", oh shoot I thought, "I will be asking Ms. Lennon to make you to run five extra laps around the lake every morning for a week" she said.

My mouth dropped and I glanced at Scorpius whose facial features strongly resembled mine.

"But Professor, don't" I started.

"Would you like to run for an extra three weeks Ms. Hauser?" she said looking straight in my eyes.

"No Professor" I said.

We turned around and headed back to our table.

"Nice going Scorp" I said weaving around a few Ravenclaws who were getting up from their table.

"Well if you hadn't mentioned Rose last night we wouldn't have need to make a scene now would we?" he said scowling remembering last night.

"Well you do like her" I said smiling sweetly at him.

"And you like Albus" he said smirking at me.

We arrived at our table and grabbed our schedules.

I looked at Lily, Rose, and Melody who had tears coming down their faces.

Lily looked at me and started busting out laughing.

I rolled my eyes at my best friends and looked at my schedule. Herbology with the Hufflepuffs.

"Come on you five, were going to be late!" yelled a voice up ahead.

Albus was standing there looking at me with his mouth slightly open.

I felt my cheeks tingle as I walked up to him.

"Your sister and my other friends are coming soon I hope. Where were you this morning?" I asked.

Everybody was piling out of the Great Hall so we got out of the way and stood by the staircase.

"I was talking to my dad, he is teaching Defense this week." He said looking at my hair, "When did you start wearing your hair down?"

"Lily thought it would be funny to take all of my ponytail holders." I explained.

Albus smiled and said "Sounds like something she would do. I think she has a little bit of James in her. I think she gets her good looks from having such a handsome brother though." He said striking a pose.

I laughed and said "Oh yes Albus you keep on thinking that"

He smiled and was about to say something but James walked up.

"You two lovebirds going to skive off the first class of the day?" he said.

"Oh shut up James" I said

Fred walked up and said "Victoria it looks like someone else agrees with us on your marriage status. Now when you and"

"Come on Albus" I said grabbing his hands ignoring the prickly feeling as I took them, "Were going to be late for Herbology"

I shot a look that said "Were talking later" behind me at James and Fred who were standing there grinning.

I slowed down to a walk as we ran outside.

"What was that all about?" asked Albus

"I talked to Fred and James yesterday and they were just picking on me" I said.

I looked everywhere except at Albus. I could feel his stare as I looked at the approaching greenhouses. Hogwarts was really a beautiful place.

We approached the door and I reached for the handle. My hand was still in Albus's. "Sorry" I said and was about to take my hand out of his.

"Victoria" Albus said and I looked into those green eyes of his.

Then out of nowhere the door to the greenhouses opened to our whole class and a smirking Professor Longbottom.

"Shoot" I heard Albus mummer under his breath.

I took a deep breath and said "Good Morning Professor"

This is going to be awkward.

Well what did you guys think? I hope you like it!

What was Albus going to say to Victoria? What do you think Neville is going to say to them?

Review and I will give you a big box of every flavor beans! And the next chapter!

Until next time my dear witches and wizards
