Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognize except Alexandra Black. She's from my imagination.
AN: So I decided to write some companion one shots to my story A Black Heart. This is the first one. Enjoy!
The Hogwarts Library
Alexandra at her breakfast slowly after the Malfoys left her alone. "Alex, don't let them get to you," Hermione told her quietly.
"Yes, yes, I know," Alexandra muttered.
"You promised to show me to the library," Loki reminded the young woman.
"I did, didn't I?" she asked, smiling a little. "Alright, after breakfast, we'll go back to the library."
After breakfast, Alexandra, Hermione, Harry, and Ron led the Avengers back to the Library, one of the only places in Hogwarts left relatively untouched. They let the Avengers explore as they sat down at a table. Hermione looked at her friends as their guests walked over with a multitude of books each. "Do you think they'll still let us take our NEWT exams?" she asked. "What about those of us who weren't here for the year?" she asked, her voice rising in pitch. "There's ever so much to learn in such a short amount of time!"
"Hermione!" Alexandra said, looking at her best friend. "Breathe. They didn't teach us the regular curriculum this year. It was all about what Voldemort wanted to change. Instead of DADA we had Dark Arts class, We still had History of Magic, but it was Pureblood history," Alexandra wrinkled her nose.
"Oh, so we're not that far behind," she smiled a little and Alexandra rolled her eyes.
"Mione…priorities remember?" Ron asked.
"Shut up, Ronald," Alexandra and Hermione chorused.
They looked up as Tony dropped a pile of books on the table. "This is some seriously fascinating stuff," he said, grinning.
"If you think this is impressive, I'll have to show you the Black Library," Alexandra told him, smiling.
"Does it have more information on magic?" Bruce asked, causing Tony to look up.
"Of course it does," she answered, grinning.
"Thanks," Bruce answered, smiling.
Steve walked over with some history books and sat down. "What did you find?" she asked, smiling at the Super soldier.
"History books, mainly of the 20th century," he told her, smiling.
"Ah, so you'll be reading a lot of speculative history on Harry then," she said, gesturing to the book, The Rise and Fall of Dark Lords of the Twentieth Century.
"Let me know what you find in terms of Voldemort and myself and I'll tell you if it's accurate or not," Harry told him, smiling.
"Thanks, I will," Steve replied.
Alexandra shook her head and sat back with her friends.
