Chapter One ~ Enchanted to Meet You

Alexis Taylor was your typical 5th year Gryffindor. She was brave, cheeky and loved playing pranks on anybody- especially those who called her by her full name. It was Alex or a water balloon to the face. She had loose curls in her blondish browinsh hair, dark eyes that sparkled full of mischief, she was average height and slim and had a pretty face.

'Hey Alex! Coming down to the quidditch pitch?' That was Jodie Young, Alex's best friend who was in Slytherin.

'Sure. Us lions are going to kick your arse though.' she smirked. 'Lemme just get my broom.'

She rushed into the Gryffindor tower and up the stairs to her untidy dormitry where she pulled out her broomstick with the words "Winston 5730" etched in silver writing on it from under her unmade bed. Then she ran back downstairs and to the bottom of another flight of stairs where Jo was waiting patiently for her.

'Come on. The others will have started without us!' Jo grabbed Alex's arm and dragged her out onto the pitch.

Their year was the year with the least house hate. As a matter of fact there was more inter house rivalry then between the other houses. On the Gryffindor team was Alex, one of her best friends Nathan Tefal, James Potter and Fred Weasley II. Verses the Slytherin team that was made up of Jo, Dominique Weasley who was another of Alex's best mates, Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy. It's a good job it was only a friendly match or else the game would've been on.

Alex played as the keeper for Gryffindor and Dom as the keeper for Slytherin. While the chasers were zooming after the ball in the middle of the pitch Alex and Dom decided to have a competition of who could flip backwards on their broom the most times. Dom won and it was a close call but Alex only stopped flipping when the quaffle came right for the centre ring. She skillfully managed to smack it away with the tail of her broom.

After the game was over and her feet were firmly back on the ground she waved goodbye to her friends and went off to find her cousin, a first year Ravenclaw, who she had promised to help, wobbling as she walked as she was still dizzy.

'Alright. See you guys.' Alex turned and walked in the opposite direction. She passed a boy sitting on a windowsill that she'd never seen before. He was quite good looking actually. With his styled blonde hair in a side fringe and long eyelashes drawing your attention to his sky blue eyes that were somewhat mesmerizing. She paused and turned to him. 'Hello. You seem new.'

The boy looked up with his baby blue eyes. 'My name ees Léon. Léon Blanc. Dzees is my first year at Hogwarts.'

'You're not from around here. Your accent. I'm Alex, by the way. Fifth year Gryffindor.' She held out a hand.

He shook it and stood up. 'Fifth year Hufflepuff. I'm from France.'

'Oh wow! What's it like? It's got to be better than rain 365 days in Britain.' Alex asked.

'Eet ees nice.'

'Then why on earth did you come here?' she laughed.

'I...euh... Don't want to talk about it.' Léon looked down at the floor.

'Well if you ever want to, I'm here.' Alex smiled reassuringly.

'Eets just personal trouble back home.'

'Right... Well if anyone causes you trouble here come and find me and they will get a nice surprise. You seem like a nice enough guy anyway.'

'I'm sure I can find you.' he laughed and smiled. Alex couldn't help but get distracted by his smile for a second.

'A true Hufflepuff!' she grinned. 'You know my mum tried to teach me French but I never got the hang of it.'

'Eet took me years to lean English.'

'You seem pretty good at it. When did you move here?'

'Earlier dzees year.' Léon told her.

'So how are you liking Hogwarts then?'

'It is different than back home. But I like eet.' he smiled.

'Good different?'

'Yes. I like ze food.'

Alex laughed slightly. 'Just wait until there's a feast. I think the next one is for the masquerade ball.'

'Zees feasts must be amazing! I cannot wait!'

'Neither can I.'

Léon mumbled something that Alex didn't catch. 'Sorry. What was that?'

'Um... Nothzing.' he blushed. 'I mumble a lot...'

'Oh, well so do I.'

'Good, well not for you, for me anyway.' he rambled on.

Alex giggled as he went on. 'I love your accent!'

He looked up and smiled. 'Oh. I like your accent too. Eets so... Eenglish.'

'Thats one way of describing it.' she grinned. 'Well it was nice meeting you Léon! I've got to go look for my cousin now but I'll see you around.'

He smiled at her. 'Looking forward to eet.' he said as Alex walked away happily, feeling her cheeks redden and her stomach flutter. There was something about that boy that was really... different. Good different.
