Alicia Zamber-Chapter Twenty One

Instructions

The train to Hogwarts whistled and a puff of steam emitted into the air as Alicia (disguised as Harmony) and Harmony herself were waiting around a corner to try not to attract attention. "Okay," Harmony said, rummaging through her pocket and pulled out a wand. "I'm going to shrink myself to fit in your robe pocket." Alicia nodded. She didn't think that this plan was going to work out to start, but now she had no doubt. Harmony was always working out solutions to her problems. Harmony pointed her wand at herself and said the words "Reducio". She instantly shrunk to the size of Alicia's pocket. Alicia bent over and caught Harmony before she hit the ground. "Now this should work!" Harmony squeaked. Alicia held her up to her shoulder and Harmony hopped on. "To the train! Hurry!" Alicia ran her luggage over to the train and boarded with haste. She found a seat and loaded her luggage above her and relaxed. She had to get used to the fact that she looked like Harmony with her short red hair. "Can I sit here?" Alicia turned to find a pretty girl with blonde hair leading down to where the tips of her hair was blue. Alicia had recognized her as Venus, a brilliant young wizard whom she had met last year between classes in the Hogwarts courtyard. She was about to greet her as a friend when she realized that she was acting like Harmony, whom had never met Venus before. "Er-hey! I'm Harmony! And yes you can sit!" Alicia said, quickly moving the original Harmony into her pocket so that Venus wouldn't see. "I don't think I've seen you around Hogwarts. Are you new?" Venus asked, taking the seat across from her. "Nope! I guess we just haven't met yet!" Alicia said, sweating a little. However, Venus didn't seem to notice. "Cool!" Alicia checked her pocket and Harmony gave her a thumbs up. Things were going well. Alicia noticed that Venus seemed more bouncy then usual. "Are you excited for anything?" She asked as Venus bounced her leg repetitively. "Oh...It's just..." Venus replied, looking up. "I'm kinda excited to see someone..." "Is it Jake?" Alicia blurted before she could stop herself. She just remembered that Venus hadn't really shared any information about Jake other than her and a couple other friends. Venus wanted to keep it a little private. "Er...yes. How do you know?" Venus asked, surprised. Alicia blushed. "Word...spread....around..." She muttered, hoping Venus wouldn't be suspicious. Fortunately, Venus was fine with it and continued to another subject. Alicia was able to keep up a good impression until a castle came into view behind the mountains. "There it is..." Venus said, excitedly. "Hogwarts!"
