A/N: Hey All! Okay so this is version 2 of Alexis Perez! I decided, with the help someone, that I needed to rewrite it! I think this version is a lot better but please tell me what you think! Thanks for reading! I will return the review!
"Where are we?" You say and look around, though you can't see anything. "I don't know, are you okay?" A boy's voice comes from your right; you try to see who he is but fail to see through the darkness. 'Yeah, I think I'm fine. Are you okay?" Your head aches and you rub your scalp, something warm and sticky clings to your finger. Ow. "I'm okay. Let me help you up." The boy's cold hands lift you off the cold, hard ground. "I think I cut my head." You turn to the dark figure next to you. "Is it bad?" He says. "No, it's just a small cut. What happened?" You wipe the blood onto your skirt. "I don't-" His sentence was cut short by a loud crack behind you. "COME ON!" The cold, sweaty hand grabs your hand again and begins running with you. "RUN! COME ON!" He keeps yelling as you run in the pitch dark. Another loud crack pierces through the air and the hand holding yours lets go and the body is lifted up into the air. You stop and bend down next to the boy, still not knowing who it is. "Lexi, keep running, don't worry about me!" He is still lying on the ground. "No, I wont, come on! I can't just leave you here!" You try helping him up, but he refuses. "No, just go. I'll be okay, I promise. Just GO!" He gets up and pushes you away. "But-" You start but get cut off. "GO NOW!" He pushes you again and you begin running. You hear a scream and begin running faster and crying. No! No! Why him? WHY? You began to hear a weird, yet very familiar beeping noise.
"Alexis! Wake-up! Alexis, get up now! DON'T MAKE ME GET THE HOSE!"You wake up with a start. Oh my god! Keep running!...wait it..it was..just.a.dream? You sigh, Thank god. You look at your mother and shut off your alarm. "Are you okay dear?" Your mother looks at you with concern. You nod and stretch. "Good, now hurry up or we are going to be late! You get out of bed and do your usually morning routine. You slowly make your way downstairs into the kitchen to see your brother pretty much inhaling cereal and your mother rechecking your luggage.
"Hey," you say as your ruff up your brothers' hair, "you sleep in too? "Yeah...she's a bit cranky today if you ask me..." you laugh at him as your mother gives you two the 'you-better-shut-your-mouth-before-I-smack-you-into-tomorrow' look. Your brother, Ryan, was only 15 months younger than you, so he was practically your twin. You even looked a lot alike. He is a 5th/6th year, while you are a 6th/7th year. Your are in two grades because your old school taught more advanced stuff earlier on since it was a much smaller school.
"Are you sure you two have everything? Because if either of you forge..." Your mom puts her hands on her hips and look at the two of you.
Ryan cuts her off, "Mom, we have checked at least a hundred times last night, we have everything." He brother smiles at your mom. "Well ok, Alexis go start the car, and Ryan you load up the luggage." She huffs and walks into the living room.
"HOGWARTS EXPRESS LOADING NOW, LEAVING IN THREE MINUTES!" The gentlemen who shouted began helping kids load there things onto the train.
"Mom...we...can't...breathe..." Ryan chokes out to your mother, thankfully she lets go. "We are really going to miss you two! Dad is really he sorry he couldn't be here, you know how he is..." She gives a sad smile and kisses your brother and you. "I love you mom, I will write whenever I can." You say as you grab your trunk and give her a hug. As you board the train you look back to see your mother crying and waving good-bye. You feel bad for leaving her all alone on the platform and hate seeing her cry.
"Let's find a compartment..." Ryan says and you snap out your trance.
"God, they are all full... let's just ask these people..." You open the door to see a blond boy with cold gray eyes and two thickset blokes with very expressionless looks on their faces. "Hi! Can we join you?" You say, perkily. The blond boy gives you a weird, almost disgusted look. "Are you kidding me? Someone like me sitting with someone like that?" He says and glares at you. The other two, obviously his goons, chuckle trollishly. At first you are totally taken back, stunned at how rude the boy was, but then you feel hurt. "Oh, um, okay. Sorry for interrupting…" You close the door and turn around. "You okay, Lexi?" Ryan says, knowing you hurt. "Yeah, I'm fine." You keep your head down as you talk. "I can beat him up if you want me too." He says and punches the air. You smile, your brother could always put a smile on your face, "No, its okay, thanks though." You start down the corridor. "Okay, but the offers on the table. Let's try this compartment, okay?" He says and you nod.
You walk down the corridor a bit more and Ryan slides the door open and there's a tall, dark-haired boy, a girl with slightly busy hair, and a tall boy with red hair. "Hi, can we sit in here? All the other compartments are full." "Yeah," the girl stands up, "I'm Hermione Granger, this is Harry Potter and Ron Weasley..." she points to the boys. "Nice to meet you, I'm Ryan and this is my sister Alexis." He sits down. You sit next to him and say, "Everyone just calls me Lexi though." "So what year are you two in?" Hermione smiles sweetly. "I'm a 6th and 7th year." You say while putting your trunk under your seat. "And I'm a 5th and 6th. What about you guys?" Ryan smiles at Hermione."I'm a 5th year." They all say in unison, which makes everyone laugh."How are you guys two different years?" She looks curiously at the two of you. You begin to answer but Ryan cuts you off, "Our school was smaller so we got a lot more one-on-one time with teachers." After that you all talk about Hogwarts, Quidditch, music, and other various subjects.
BANG! BANG! FRRRWWHHIRRR! AHHH! POP-POP-POP! All five of you jump.
"What the HELL was that?" You say your eyes huge.You hear screams, laughter, running, and more obnoxious noises.Ron and Harry get up and look out the compartment door. They start laughing."Whats going on?" Ryan gets up and looks out of the door. He also starts laughing at whatever is going on down the hall.
POP-POP-POP! WHHHHIIIRRR! BAM! BAM! You see flashes of light from down the hall.
"You guys! OVER HERE!" Ron waves at someone down the hall.
"George! RUN!" A mysterious voice echoes from the hall. You see smoke, sparks, and kids through the doorway. Suddenly two red heads, twins, run up to the door. "What did you guys do this time?" Hermione rolls her eyes. "...Nothing..." the first twin says and gives an innocent look. Then the second one chimes in, "Why would you think WE did anything, our dear sweet Hermione?" She rolls her eyes again. Kids run by, coughing and laughing, as the twins sit down and close the door. You can still see sparks and flashes of light through the door. "What did you guys do?" Ryan breaks the silence. "Just let off some harmless fireworks we made..." The second twin says matter-of-factly. "We thought the train would be the best place to introduce our Wildfire Whiz-Bangs" the first twin says and smiles. "Who would have known that all hell would break loose?" the second twin chimes in. "I did..." Hermione grumbles but the twins ignore her. The first twin speaks again, "And who could have guessed that a firework would chase the cart lady down the hall causing every kid within a five-foot radius to steal treats from her abandoned cart?" Everyone laughs but Hermione shakes her head. "Anyway, who are you two?" the second twin looks over at you and your brother. "Oh, my name is Alexis Perez, but you can call me Lexi, and this is my brother Ryan." "But you can call me Ryan." He says tauntingly. "Oh well my name is George and this is my twin, Fr-" George beings to say. "Fred, nice to meet you" he says as he shakes your hand.
Can you say 'hottie'? You think to yourself as you stare at Fred.
"So what year you guys?" Ryan asks. "We are 7th years, you?" answers Fred. "I'm a 5th and 6th year, she's a 6th and 7th year...it's a long story..." He elbows you, snapping you out of your trance. George pulls out a bag, "Anyone want any cauldron cakes or treacle tarts? Their on the house..." Everyone, except Hermione, laughs and grabs something from the bag.
This is going to be an interesting year.
