Chapter 7 – The New Year

"Bye Vi!" Lil got on the train with Severus, Vi waved.

"Hey, Little Evans!" James, Sirius, Peter and Remus approached her.

"Hey, I hope you all have a good year!" Vi smiled.

"It's a shame you haven't got your letter." Remus said.

"I missed the deadline by a day. I was born on the first of August." Vi told them. "So, maybe next year."

"Hopefully next year. Then we can hang out around Hogwarts." Sirius grinned. "So, will we be able to mirror message you on the train?"

"Sure, I have some work to do though. I start secondary school this year." Vi nodded.

"Secondary school?" James asked

"Yep, where Muggles increase their level of learning." Vi explained, she looked at the Big Clock. "It's almost Eleven."

Oh, right. See you later Vi!" They rushed on to the train. Not long later, they were waving at Vi as the Train began to move.

"Come on Vi." Mrs Evans called.

"Coming." Vi nodded and followed her family. An old couple approached them.

"Are you Mr and Mrs Evans?" the Woman asked

"Yes." Mr Evans nodded.

"We are James' parents. He asked about inviting Vi over during one of the holidays. So, we believed it was best for us to introduce ourselves too you." The man said

"Oh, Yes, it is nice to meet you." Mr Evans shook Mr Potter's hand. Vi listened to them talk for a while, before they parted ways.

Vi sat at her desk, pouring over maths books. She had put the magic mirror on the wall before her desk. She frowned at the book, it wasn't making a lick of sense, even with the explanation of it.

"Hello Vi!" A voice said, Vi looked up at the Mirror.

"Hi Guys." Vi smiled

"Are you okay? You looked kind of annoyed." Sirius asked

"Maths." Vi sighed

"Is it a muggle thing?" James asked

"Yep, we learn it in school, and maths in secondary is really hard to explain…I am not getting and it has a full explanation on the page…" Vi held up her book and showed them, before putting back down. "It's really confusing me."

"If you need a hand with that level of maths, I would be happy to lend a hand." Remus offered.

"You can do maths?" Vi seemed really surprised.

"Sort of, I use those books for light reading…" Remus smiled shyly.

"He knows everything." Sirius rolled his eyes.

"Did you do your homework?" Remus looked at Sirius.

"No…" Sirius muttered

"I would offer to lend a hand, but I wouldn't understand any of it." Vi said

"Come to think of it, do you want all my first-year books? I'm never going to need them again." Sirius asked Vi.

"Sure, I won't really need them, but I could use something for light reading." Vi nodded

"I'll send them to you when I get home again." Sirius told her. "Oh, trolley's here! James, get me for chocolate frogs." Sirius said as James got up.

"Sure." James replied.

"Trolley?" Vi asked

"Yep, the Train trip is rather long. We won't reach Hogwarts until Nightfall, so they have a trolley going around." Sirius explained.

"Nice." Vi smiled as James returned.

"Snivellus is three compartments down." James said, giving Sirius the Chocolate frogs.

"Who's that?" Vi frowned

"Oh, that's our nickname for Severus." James grinned. "Came up with it the day we met him on the train."

"Snivellus." Vi giggled. "It's pretty good."

"Thanks." James look pleased with himself.

"Vi? Who are you talking too?" Mr Evans called up.

"To Sirius and the others. You know, through magic mirror Sirius gave me the time him came down." Vi looked towards her door.

"You are doing your work too, right?" He asked

"I've looked through all the books Dad, it's not making any sense to me." Vi sighed. "I am sure once a teacher has gone over it, I'll understand it better.

Very well." Mr Evans replied, Vi turned back to her friends.

"Despite getting high scores in my SATs, my parents still want me to revise before my secondary year has begun, as they believe it will give me an advantage."

"That doesn't sound too hard." Peter said

"It is when you have never learnt this stuff before." Vi frowned. "But like I said, once I am taught the basics, I'll be fine."

"I'm guessing you have a high IQ then." Remus said

"Loads of people say that, I just think I have a very good Long and Short term memory." Vi leaned back on her chair.

"Muggle Schools sound hard." James said, "I'm glad we don't have to go."

"Oh, James, my parents met your parents today." Vi remembered. "Sirius was so right, they are really nice people!"

"Yeah, they are pretty cool. So, I am guessing your parents have agreed to let you come around some time to avoid any trouble with Snivellus." James grinned

"Yep, they saw no issues with it. Even though I am not a witch… Would I still be able to hang out with you guys if I was just a muggle?" Vi asked.

"of course, Just because you may be a muggle and we are wizards doesn't change the fact you are our friend. Nothing can change that; besides, Sirius has already bragged about his 'Brilliant Muggle friend.'" Remus told her

"You have...?" Vi looked at Sirius.

"Yes, and now I can brag about how great your cookies are!" Sirius smiled "You are the Best Muggle ever."

"There are better muggles then me. Queen Elizabeth the first, William Shakespeare." Vi said

"Yeah, but you are our favourite muggle. And, you know us, which makes you cool." James added.

"Thanks guys." Vi smiled, she saw how her family was torn because of Petunia being Muggle and Lily being a Witch, she didn't want her friendship to end like that.

"Anyway, Sirius said your dream was to be a baker, and that you made nice cookies." Peter muttered

"Yeah, to be a baker is my dream. Once I finish secondary, I want to do a cooking course at College, find a small space and sell baked goods to make people happy!" Vi nodded. "Next time I bake some cookies, I'll send you all some."

"Does that mean I have to share?" Sirius frowned

"Yes, it does." Vi smiled. They talked a bit more. Vi explained all the types of schools Muggles had, and what exams they had to do. The boys explained more about the Wizarding world.

"Vi, Rosie's here to see you." Mr Evans called.

"Got to go, my other muggle friend is here. I'll speak to you later." Vi got up and rushed down stairs.

The boys looked at the blank mirror, before Sirius put it away.

"She really is awesome." James nodded.
