"Vix wake up!" Shouted James Potter "You have to get in your robes. We are almost at Hogwarts! Hurry!"

"Alright alright..." said Helena that had just woke up. Hogwarts Express was now slowing down and Helena ran in the train's hallway to get in the restrooms  and change. As she was running she bummed into someone.

"Oh sorry" she muttered
"Get off my way mudblood" Hissed Severus Snape

Severus Snape and Helena didn't like each other at all. Snape was always bullying her because of her blood status and her family, with his friends Mulciber and Avery. She always tried to avoid them, she didn't like fighting.

"Uh whatever" she muttered and continued walking towards the bathroom.

Helena didn't have the best childhood. Her mother, Pauline, was selfish and always critiqued her daughter and her dad, Albert, was always out drinking and smoking with his creepy friends. He returned home late at night and was always drunk. There were times when he even hit her because he didn't know what he was doing because of the lack of sleep and alcohol. She loved her parents but she couldn't stand their behavior...

"Finally! We thought that you were lost or something." Spoke Sirius
"Come on, we are gonna miss the carriages" added Peter
"Go find an available carriage and I'll catch up with you" stated Helena
"Alright, Come on guys." Said James

The girl was now trying to get her suitcase of the shelf but she couldn't reach it.

"Why do they have to built them so high? And it's not that I'm short either, I'm literally 165 cm (5.5' foot i think)" She thought
"Hey, let me get this for you" said a familiar voice
"Remus! Oh thank you" spotted Helena as Remus got the suitcase of the shelf
"You're welcome. I think we should get off the train or else we will go back to King's Cross Station, and we don't want that" joked Remus
"You're right" giggled Helena

"How does it feel to be a Prefect?" Teased Helena
"Quit well actually. However I don't think I deserved to be a Prefect... There are a lot of other gryffindors that are better than me..." said Remus shyly
"Don't you ever say that again Remus! Your the cleverest person I know! I never lie Remus, and you know it!" Protested the girl
"Between the two of us, honestly, you're the cleverest and you know that I dont lie" Said Remus "I think we should start running if we want to catch up the carriages before they leave."
"Oh shit yeah!" Responded the girl

Remus and Helena were running to catch up with the others on the last carriage

"Moony! Vixen! Where have you been?" Asked Sirius
"Well I had trouble getting my suitcase of the shelf and Remus helped me" responded Helena
"Yep" added Remus
"I hope there is ice cream at the feast" remarked Peter
"Me too" replied the girl

"Welcome to another magical year at Hogwarts! I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. And now, let the feast begin!" Stated Dumbledore and suddedly all the house tables had all kinds of food on them.

"Lily look! They added steaks in the menu!" Shouted Helena so that Lily could hear her
"Yeah finally!" Acknowledged Lily

After a while the desserts appeared. Helena spotted a delicious chocolate cake but there was only one left. While she tried to take the slice, she felt a hand touching her. She turned to see who it was and froze for a second. Her eyes met with his, and she felt like a million fireworks started exploding in her stomach. Why did she feel like this? Is it...? No it couldn't... He's her best friend, how is that possible? After some seconds that felt like a century, Remus was the one that broke the eye contact by looking away...

"Hm, Um you can have the last slice, I don't mind" exclaimed Remus, his cheeks turning a shade of red.
"Heh um thank you but I'm afraid I can't. Its not fair to eat all of it and don't leave anything for you. Here, take half of it..." claimed El
"Thank you..." muttered Remus

Helena then looked away to see Lily giving her the we are going to discuss this later look.
