Alex: I KNEW IT

Alex: ask him out, the guy totally likes you too

Paige: I cant do that he would think i was a mental or something

Paige: what am i going to do

Alex: fine, then I'll get Luke to get Tyler to spill that he likes you back, and then maybe he'll ask you out

Paige: he doesn't like me back are you insane

Paige: might as well live in the chamber of secrets

Alex: oh come on, you heard Ginny, its dark and gross down there. You wouldn't want to live there

Alex: yes, but that's beside the point, he DOES like you, i can feel it i can see it the way he looks at you

Paige: oh Alex

(continues to cry Alex hasn't ever seen her cry this much )

Alex: come on Paige, please stop crying, it'll be okay

Paige: i cant go in that compartment Alex i really cant

Alex: well maybe we can find Luna, Leona and Ginny and sit with us

And they*

Paige: no, no one can know you half to promise not to tell

Alex: you don't have to tell them, but they can sit with us while the guys sit with Luke and Tyler

Paige: PROMIES ME !

Alex: can i at least tell Luke? he wont tell anyone either, he's your best friend too

Paige: fine but he cant tell a sole if he dose i will go all aunty Bella on his ass

(starting to not cry as much but is still crying)

Alex: I'll make him swear left and right

Paige: ok

Alex: are you SURE you don't want to sit with the girls?

Paige: yes but i still don't want to go back into the compartment and they will see that i was crying

Alex: we cant stay in this closet for the entire ride. They would understand if you just told them that it was a boy that you were crying over. I wont let them ask questions

Paige: no if they ask i will say its nothing or some family issues i just cant have Draco or Blaze finding out

Alex: oh i know, we can tell them that Draco yelled at you for something

Paige: yay ok lets go

Alex walks back to the compartment alone.

Alex: "Ginny, Hermione, will you sit with me and Paige in another compartment?"

she shoots Luke a sympathetic glance

Paige walks in and her eyes are red and puffy and her face is wet and when she got in there Alex put her arm around her

Ginny looked at Hermione

Ginny: Sure i don't see why not

Paige saw that Tyler and the boys were worried but she just stared at the floor

Leona came around the corner and saw Alex, Paige, and Ginny standing in the hallway

Leona: Alex, Paige, Luna and i are sitting down here, want to come join us?

Alex: hey, actually Ginny and Hermione are going to join us too

Paige is still just staring at the floor

Neville: Hey Ginny, hey Hermione

Hermione: hay

Leona sees Paige's tear stained face,

Leona: Neville, why don't you stay here with the guys, Us girls are gonna go down here

All the girls start following Luna and Leona back to the compartment they came from. Alex kept her arm around Paige

Paige sat on the same side as Alex as Alex coffered her they closed the doors and Paige let silent tears stream down her face

Hermione and Luna: whoa what's going on Alex

Alex: Draco yelled at her, for something that wasn't her fault I'm not really completely sure

Paige: i don't want to be around the guys

she said in a week voice

Leona: maybe its just the nargels getting to her

Luna: oh don't be like dad

Hermione: Alex can you try to explain it

Leona: no, dad would say its another creature.

Alex: I said i wasn't sure, cause, she's just been sitting here crying, i haven't gotten a whole lot out of her

Ginny: Malfoy's a git

Paige: i just want to go to the chamber of secrets and have the bascilisk get me

Ginny: okay, now you're really crazy, whets gotten into you? the chamber is one of the worst places in the school, and besides, you cant speak parseltounge so you wouldn't be able to get in

Alex: See Paige, i told you

Paige: fine then i want to be taken bye aragon and his kids

she said gloomily

Ginny: just don't tell Ron that. he might have to hex you. in fact, if you don't straighten out and quit wishing yourself to hell. III might have to hex you

Paige: then hex me cruseo me for all i care

she snapped

Leona: we can't crucio you, your father would never let us see tomorrow

Hermione: Paige what has gotten into you

Paige: nothing she clinched her fists

Alex: Paige, calm down, its okay

Paige: NO ALEX ITS NOT OK I CANT DO THIS ANY MORE

Alex: you haven't done anything at all

and with that Paige got up and left and went to the compartment where her book was and her bag the compartment with the boys they saw her, she grabbed her stuff and left without a word and went to a one person compartment and just sat there and cried silently and pulled down the shade so no one could see

Hermione: what was that about

Alex: i don't know. Maybe i should talk to Luke, I'll be back

Alex walked down to find Luke,

Alex: Hey Luke, can i talk to you?

Harry: what was that about

Luke stepped out of the compartment and into the hall

Alex: i don't know what's gotten into her, but i need to talk to Luke, so hang on

Harry: ok

she closed the compartment door and stood facing Luke

Alex: so, first, you have to swear left and right to tell NO ONE what I'm about to tell you. this is between you, me and Paige and if it gets around she will curse our arises off

Luke: okay what is it?

Alex: She's in love with Tyler and she's completely clueless about what to do

Luke: oh. is that why she's upset?

Alex: yeah, but this whole crying thing is sooo unlike her. She's a Malfoy for crying out loud!

Luke: i know. Maybe i can get Tyler to talk to her

He tapped on the glass and pointed at Tyler

Alex: YOU CAN'T TELL HIM

Luke: i wont, relax

Luke: hey Tyler, can i ask you an honest question will you answer me honestly?

Tyler: yay what's up mate

Luke: Do you like our friend Paige, as in do you really like her? Please be honest

Tyler: ummm...uh why ya asking

Luke: "because, she's upset and she needs you right now and if you like her, you should try to talk to her.

Tyler: what, what happened

Tyler: ok i will talk to her

the train had reached Hogwarts grounds Paige bolted out of the train and on a carriage and by the time the others saw her she was on her way with out looking back

Luke: wait, you never answered my question

Tyler: huh oh i will answer it later first we need to help Paige

Luke sighed as he and everyone else grabbed their bags and headed off
