hopelessly devoted

September 1

Alicia's pov:

"Alicia wake up" I hear someone yell from downstairs. "Yes mom."
I groggily sit up in my bed and rub the filth out of my eyes.
I get out of.my bed and walk to the windows to open the curtains. As i open them I'm greeted by rays of sun shining through.i quickly make my bed before going downstairs to eat breakfast.

"Good morning mom, good morning dad." " Good morning sweetheart, do you want pancakes or french toast?" Mom ask.
"Could I get some french toast please."
Mom gives me a plate filled with 3 slices of french roast drenched in syrup, and strawberries at the side. I say a quick thanks and start eating.
"So honey are you excited for another year at hogwarts" my dad asks while reading this morning paper. " Yes, I can't wait to finally see all my friends again." The rest of breakfast was spent eating and talking about the upcoming school year. I'm going into my sixth year, and I can't wait.
"Sweetheart, why don't you go upstairs get dressed and pack the last of your things. The potter are almost here so we need to get going."
I stuffed the last strawberry in my mouth and said okay. I rush up the stairs and into my room.
Since I will be spending today mostly sitting I decide to go for comfort. I chose a very baggy pair of jeans and a random shirt that's way too big, probably one of James's.
I quickly brush my teeth, do my skincare, and spray some perfume and deodorant. Put on my jewellery and brush out my hair. Happy with my appearance I grab my converse and dash down the stairs.
But when I reached the end I remembered that my suitcase was still in my room. So I ran back and quickly stuffed a few extra things(thank you extension charm) I easily shut it and carried it down the stairs.
"Mom! I'm ready." I shout out. " Okay darling" my mom walks in from the kitchen with my dad and walks up to me. " Change in plans, we're going to meet the potter at the station. There running late, James and Sirius slept in." I groaned and rolled my eyes. I knew that they probably stayed up all night like they did every evening. Sometimes they even called me through the mirror me and James have, trough which we can communicate. They were busy the whole summer planning pranks and saying that this was their year, and that they finally were going to play a prank that will go in.to.the history books.
I love a good prank but this was getting out of hand. Like seriously.
"Okay let's go"
I grabbed my mom's and dad's arm and we apperated to kings cross station. We looked if the coast was clear and no muggels were looking and walked through the wall into platform nine and three quarters. The moment I saw that red train I felt at ease. Mom and dad have to get to work so we said goodbye to each other, and when I was hugging mom she started to cry. Something that she does every year. " Ohh, I can't believe that you're going into your sixth year. My baby is growing up". " Mom I can't breathe" I was gasping for air with how hard mom was hugging me. " Darling let her breath, we can't have her dying before even getting to hogwarts" thanks dad. Mom finally let go, but not before giving me a lot of face kisses. After 3 more hugs they finally left.

I was left alone at the platform. But I knew that amber would be here already since her family was always one of the first people here. (They are very punctual.) So I walked to the front of the train were I dropped of my suitcase and bags. I hopped into the train in search for the curly blond.
I eventually found her in one of the compartments in the back. I readied myself to open the door. As I open it I yelled, quite loud if I do say so myself.
I knew amber was reading so when i yelled she started yelling and dropped her book. "You bitch now I lost the page I was one." She said with a huff. But then she stood up and tackled me into a bone crushing hug. (Worse than that of mom)"Ow, your crushing me" "that's what you get for scaring me"
She finally let go and I sat down opposite of her. We started talking about our summer. Ven though we saw eachother last week for her birthday.
"I can't wait for this year. We're finally sixth years so we got to go to all those parties that people always talk about. I can't wait to get drunk" amber.started rambling all about parties. "Girl chill, let's first survive the journey to school"
We continued to talk about all kinds of things when the compartment door opens again. This time it was sopend by a ginger, a blond, and a brunette.
We all started to scream, and we tackled eachother into a group hug. But we somehow landed lying on the floor all on too of eachother. "Ohh, missed you guys sooo much. I hated having to spend all summer with petunia" we all chorused back saying how we missed her to and all the others. After a good 5 minutes we got up and sat in the seats of the compartment. We all started talking about how our summers went.
"Sooo, Alice how was your summer. I heard from someone that you spend it mostly with one frank longbottom. Hmm?" This got all our attention. "well marls. That person who.told.you that would be correct." At this we all started to squell. " We started dating in the second week of break. And guys, it was sooo amazing. I still can't believe it" this started the talk about who we all liked and who we thought would be there best partner. "Well, lily I can congratulate you by the way." I said.
This intrigued her. " How so?" "Well, james has said that he was gonna stop chasing you. Because this year he was going to be busy pulling the prank of the centurie." At this lily started thanking me, and sometiing called god.
We all continued to talk as if we hadn't seen eachother in months. Eventually amber started reading her book, I started to sketch the compartment and everyone in it. Marlene and Alice went to sleep. And lily went to her prefect meeting.

It was a good start to the year.
