Chapter 1: Hogwarts

Alexa woke up on September 1st at seven o'clock, she didn't need to be at King's Cross Station till at least ten forty-five, but Harry insisted that they be up by eight. Harry was excited to be going to his first year at Hogwarts at last, after 2 years of Alexa telling him about it. Alexa was now a third year Griffindor and her two best friends just happened to be twins.

Fred and George Weasley were the two biggest pranksters since The Marauders. They both had flaming red hair, and blue eyes. Alexa was the only person who could tell them apart. George was more muscular and more manly in a way, where as Fred was kind and sensitive. Secretly Alexa had a crush on Fred, but she wouldn't tell anybody.

Alexa got dressed in a pair of skinny jeans, a white top and a shirt. She also wore a green necklace with a heart on the end. She went downstairs and saw Harry was already sat at the table waiting for breakfast. Lily and James seemed to still be in bed, so Alexa crept up behind Harry in put her hands on his shoulders causing him to jump.

"Alexa, why do you always do that when Mum and Dad are in bed?" He asked, hitting her playfully.

"Because you always fall for it." She said with a laugh. "Want some pancakes?"

"Sure, Alexa what if- Oh never mind." He said stopping him self.

"No what Har?" She said looking at him concerned.

"It's just, What if I'm in Slytherin Ali?" He said worried.

"Why would you be in Slytherin?" She replied, flipping the pancakes. "James and Lily were both in Griffindor"

"But You-Know-Who was in Slytherin, and he gave me this scar. And I'm a parsalmouth Ali." He said looking down.

"Look Har, it doesn't matter where you go, yes I'd prefer you were in Griffindor, but it doesn't matter, me, your Mum and Dad will love you all the same, Okay?" She said looking at him.

"Okay." He said smiling. "Are the pancakes done yet?" All Alexa could do was laugh.

~o~

At ten thirty Alexa, Harry, James and Lily arrived at Kings Cross. They found the barrier and went through with ease, James took Alexa aside whilst Lily was mothering Harry. Whenever James took her aside, she knew it was important. James looked at her with somewhat sadness in his eyes. James' hazel eyes which usually sparkled where dull in a way, as if he was scared of something that was going on.

"Jamie, what's wrong?" she asked him.

"I just need to know, what's the relationship between you and the twins?" He asked, worried about her safety.

"Jamie, we are just close friends, that's all. I'd just rather be friends with the boys than any of the girls in my year." She said with a smile.

"You get more and more like your mother everyday, you know that?" He said with a laugh.

"Jamie!" She said laughing. "We are just friends, I promise. But I won't deny, if Fred ever asked me out, I wouldn't say no."

"Oh so you have a soft spot for one of these boys, do you?" He said teasing her.

"Jamie, you can't tell anyone, especially Dad." she said gravely.

"I won't. Now off you go, and make sure Harry gets a compartment." He said hugging her. And then off she went to find a compartment for Harry.

~o~

Once she'd found Harry a compartment she went to find Fred and George, which didn't take long. She soon found them, but didn't go in as they were talking. Alexa had earned her excellent eavesdropping skills from both her mother and father. She stood where she could see them, but them not her.

"Fred you have to tell her." she heard George say.

"I can't, she'll stop being my friend all together." Fred replied sadly.

"Fred, do you love this girl or not?"

"Now it depends what girl you are on about. Of course I love Ginny and Mum."

"Oh ha ha ha. That's the best joke you've come up with yet." George said his voice full of sarcasm.

"I thought so too." Fred replied.

"You know I'm on about Alexa you idiot!" Alexa's heart skipped a beat.

"You KNOW I love her." Fred said seriously.

"Well ask her out!" George said.

"Fine but if she breaks my heart, It's YOUR fault." He said ending the conversation.

Alexa waited a few moments before entering the compartment, and when she did George jumped on her screaming 'ALI!' causing her to scream. George always greeted her this way, where Fred just hugged her.

"How's your holiday been then boys?" she asked.

"Oh the usual, we 'accidentally' turned Ron's toy into a spider." George said with a laugh.

"That's mean." She said leaning into Fred unknowingly.

"I'm going to the toilet, be back in a few." He then stared at Fred and left.

The compartment was quiet for a few moments, Fred looked at Alexa and she looked back. They stared at each other for a few moments until she closed her eyes and Fred did the same. Neither knew who closed the distance, but the shared a small passionate kiss. When they finally broke apart Alexa went back into her previous position until she realised what had just happened.

"I gotta-" she started.

"No please, stay." She made no objection and fell right back into his chest. He entwined his fingers in her hair, and spoke again. "I'm sorry Ali, it's just I've liked you for a while and I was wondering if you'd go out with me?"

"Of course you big douche." She said whilst he held her.

~o~

When they arrived at Hogwarts they went straight into the Great Hall where they would wait for the first years to be sorted. Fred and George dragged Alexa down near the front so they could meet the first years quickly and so Alexa could say hi to Harry when he joined the table.

Professor McGonagall entered the hall and everyone fell silent. Alexa saw Harry and smiled at him, she also saw the twins siblings Ron and Jessica. Jessica was 9 months older than Ron and was the closest to the twins in the family. Ron wasn't really close to anyone in his family and kept himself to himself.

The sorting had begun and Alexa didn't really pay attention until Harry was called. He went up to the stool and the hat was placed on his head. It seemed he was sat up there for what seemed like a life time until finally the hat roared. "GRIFFINDOR"

Alexa made a sigh of relief, and hugged her cousin as he joined the table, she then went back to her seat next to the twins and waited for the outcome of the two Weasleys. When McGonagall finally said Jessica Weasley. Now the hat dithered for a moment and then shouted "GRIFFINDOR" Once more. The hat had barely touched Ron's head and it shouted "GRIFFINDOR".

The feast then began as soon as Blaise Zabina had been sorted. Whilst eating Alexa was in deep conversation with Fred whilst George with Jessica.

"So how long have you liked me then Ali?" Fred asked her.

"Oh a while, what about you Fred?" She replied after swallowing her trifle.

"Oh a while." He replied with a laugh and gave her a quick peck on the lips. Then McGonagall tapped her glass to get everyone's attention. Dumledore stood to give his usual start of term notices.

"Well once again we have had an excellent feast, but now I have some important business I need to address to. The third floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to all thoes who do not wish to die of a painful death. Now off to bed, pip pip."
