Hi there again! Well I'm back from my trip and took a real long break. I've thought about writing a new story and I had my dear friend 'Kris' choose for me after giving her a sneak preview. So she chose QL3 over a new story. So here I am again startin' another sequel to the series. Anyways, lemme give you the prologue.

Prologue

I have skipped the 4th year in Hogwarts because not much would be describable. Besides…how could it be a Quidditch story without Quidditch? So the story starts in Alex's 5th year. Oliver isn't in Hogwarts and is in the Puddlemere United reserve team and was moved to Wales. This makes the story interesting.

Now that Oliver is gone, there isn't a Quidditch Captain and a keeper. Now it's up to the team to hold try-outs for the Gryffindor Keeper. Not only that, how's Alex supposed to deal with distractions while Oliver is gone. In her fourth year, she wasn't really worried since the Triwizard Tournament took place. Will anyone take Oliver's place?

In the other side, Oliver moved to Wales. It was farther from Hogwarts than before. How will he know that Alex is safe? Will another girl come in his life and take Alex's place? And another problem is wandering around. For Hermione, this is serious. The teachers in Hogwarts are checking the scores from their exams and will determine who would be the next Prefects.

For Harry, he still loves playing Seeker in the team and enjoys the company of Kris being there too. But the thing is, after all those years being popular, the thought of Voldemort keeps roaming in his head. He couldn't have the thought of having to face him again. Will everyone solve their problems and deal with the new things coming?

QL3: Keeping A Distant Love

Chapter 1: A New Year

"ALEX!!!!" Mrs. Levons shouted from the living room. Alex woke up and she accidentally knocked down her lamp. The lamp broke into pieces.

"Uh oh." Alex moaned. She couldn't hear any footsteps coming. "Dammit! I'm not old enough to use magic out of school yet!!!" She was frustrated.

"Magic for what?" A voice asked. It was her mom. She apparated into Alex's room. She looked at the floor and saw broken pieces. She sighed. "Be careful next time Alex." She said as she pulled out her wand. "Reparo!" The lamp was fixed and back on top of the side table. She put her wand back in her pocket. "Now that's settled. Take a shower and change into your clothes now. You're going to take Winnie with you to Diagon Alley today."

Alex threw her pillow. "Why do I have to take her?! Can't you come with us?!"

"Isn't Oliver going with you?" her mom asked with her arms on her waist.

Alex was silent for a while. "Yeah…"

"See! Don't worry, I trust Oliver and you to take Winnie around to buy her materials for her first year at Hogwarts. Show her around, let her get used to things. Come on now, get ready. Breakfast is almost done." She apparated again. Someone knocked on the door.

"You're going to take me with you right?" It was Winnie. She was dressed and ready to go.

"Yeah, just wait for me." Said Alex.

"Ok." She left the room.

After she took a shower, she changed into her clothes and wore the necklace and bracelet Oliver gave her. Then she rushed down the stairs.

"Good Morning dad." She greeted as she drank her juice.

"Good Morning Alex, early start again this year. You've got almost a month left till school starts." He said.

"Yeah I know," said Alex finishing her juice. "But it gets crowded next week." Someone appeared and fell on the couch.

"OW!!!"

"What was that?!" Winnie asked. They all drew near the couch. It was Oliver.

"Oliver?" Mrs. Levons was staring at him.

"Hi Aunt Eve. Ow." He got up rubbing his head. "Uncle Will, Winnie."

"Hi Oliver." Winnie greeted.

"Alex?" Oliver smiled.

"Hi." She smiled too. She laughed. "Did you use the Floo Powder?"

"Yeah, rough trip."

"Be careful with Floo Powder dear. It's dangerous once you lose concentration on your destination." Alex's mom said. Oliver nodded.

"Well, we all have to get going now." Oliver said.

"Yeah, don't want to catch the crowd. Oh yeah, money mom?" Alex stuck out her hand.

"Will handle your kids." She said as she walked away.

"Okay Alex, here's 100 galleons. Spend them for both of you and buy your lunch. Make sure not to spend it all. Have fun and be back after lunch. Be careful." He gave the money to Alex. "Bye sweetheart." He kissed Winnie.

"Come on Win, let's go. Bye dad!" Alex went to the door to the backyard.

"Bye Aunt Eve! Bye Uncle Will!" Oliver shouted.

"You too Oliver. Oh and make sure to call the Knight Bus!!!" Alex's dad said.

"Okay, Oliver you should light your wand up. You've graduated already." Alex told him.

Oliver nodded. He pointed his wand up into the air and muttered something. Sparks were coming out of the tip. In 1 minute, the bus came.

"Oliver, Alex. Hello again. Ah, is this your sister Alex?" Stuart asked.

"Yeah. This is Winnie." Alex introduced her and Winnie waved.

"Hello Winnie. So, to Diagon Alley again I suppose. Where's the stop?" Stuart asked.

"Flourish and Blotts." Oliver replied.

"Okay, hop on."

When they arrived, they started buying their books and a cauldron for Winnie. After buying them, they went to buy Winnie an owl or a cat.

"What do you want Win?" Oliver asked.

"Hmm, a cat." She answered.

"Okay then." Alex went up to the manager. "Hi um, which cat you think suits my sister the best?"

"Hmmm. You like this one?" the man asked. It had gray and black stripes with yellow eyes. Winnie shook her head. "What about this?" The cat had orange and yellow striped with very tall ears and green eyes. Winnie shook her head again. He sighed. He looked to the corner. "Ah!" He walked to the corner. "What about this one?"

The cat was black and had a white tummy. It had nice blue round eyes and wasn't a fully-grown cat. "Yeah! I'll take this one!" Alex paid for the cat and the cat was put in a cage.

"What are you going to name her?" Alex asked as they walked to Ollivander's.

"Hmmm. I'll name her Puffle. She has puffy black fur." Winnie smiled.

When they arrived at Ollivander's, Mr. Ollivander was writing on a piece of parchment.

"Ah, Miss Levons and Mr. Wood, how may I help you today? You two have wands already." He stood up.

"My sister needs a wand for her first year at Hogwarts." Alex told him.

"Ah, okay." He brought back a box and pulled out a wand. "Hmm, 7 ½ inches, Cedar wood, and a Unicorn hair. This will fit you young miss."

Winnie held the wand. "Winnie, say this pointing at that book. Waddiwasi." Alex told her.

"Waddiwasi?" Winnie asked. Alex nodded. "Here goes." She said pointing at the book. "Waddiwasi!"

The book zoomed to the corner of the room. "Yeah, this fits. The spell works perfectly." Said Alex.

"Yeah, I think so too." Winnie agreed.

Next they headed for the robes store. Alex bought a new dress robe and Winnie bought a black robe.

"Hey let's head for Quality Quidditch Supplies?" Oliver suggested.

"Sure. Whoa, I still have 40 galleons left. Hmm, I think I have some in my wallet." She searched for her wallet. "Wow, I save money. That totals up to 70 galleons."

"You could buy some new stuff there." Oliver said.

When they got there, the Nimbus Two Thousand and Three was out for sale for 200 galleons.

"That's some expensive stuff." Alex said.

"You have a faster one right?" Winnie asked.

"Yeah, a lot faster." Alex said.

"Do you have a broomstick Winnie?" Oliver asked.

"Yeah, but it's a Nimbus Two Thousand and One only." Winnie replied.

"At least you have something from the Nimbus series." Oliver said.

They bought new gloves and Alex bought a polish for broomsticks.

When they got back home, Alex received a letter.

"Alex, there's a letter from Hogwarts." Her mom said.

"Are you in trouble?" Oliver asked.

"Don't think so." Alex said. Alex took the letter and gave it back. "You read it mom."

"Okay, if you say so."

Dear Mr. And Mrs. Levons,

I am very pleased to inform you that your daughter, Alexandra Jeneva Levons, has become a Prefect of Gryffindor. She has shown great academic excellence and very good sportsmanship. This is a very great honor for students and your daughter has become one of them. For Gryffindor, she joins Hermione Granger, Dean Thomas, and Timothy Avery. In behalf of all the teachers of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I myself look forward in seeing your daughter succeed much more this year as a Prefect.

Sincerely,

Professor M. McGonagall

"A PREFECT?!!!" Alex yelled wide-opened.

How was that for the first chapter? Pretty boring you may think, but this is really the beginning so expect the best to come! R&R!!!
