A/N: welcome to the second chapter! Its kinda short, and I am SO sorry for that! But it is a set up chapter and it was a great place to stop so I'm really sorry! Don't hurt me! I promise the next chapter will be longer and more interesting! :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or the characters/places, just Alex.
I want to thank my awesome reviewers so far :) And to answer your question BlueRose22, no Draco doesn't know. The only person who knows is Dumbledore right now ;)
Alex groaned as she looked at her schedule. Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Double Potions, Transfiguration, Ancient Runes...and all of them NEWT Level. She had back-to-back classes every day up until lunch. On the bright side, besides Transfiguration and Ancient Ruins right after lunch, she was free for the rest of the day.
Blaise let out a low whistle as he read her schedule over her shoulder, "Damn man, you've got a messed up schedule."
"The price of genius," Alex said with a sigh, earning highly skeptical looks from her two friends. Blaise even had to suppress laughter.
"You? A genius? That hilarious, man!" Blaise snorted.
"Don't taunt him. He is in all of our classes and he does pass with flying colors," Draco said with an amused smirk, "Perhaps he's been hiding his genius from us."
Alex rolled her eyes and sighed. Boys were so immature.
"So Draco, on a more interesting topic, meet any good broads over summer?"
Alex blinked and focused on the dinner before her, attempting to drown out Draco's latest sexcapades. Sometimes masquerading as a boy was a lot harder than it looked. Stories like this held no interest to her, but they were supposed to. The whole school, save Dumbledore, thinking she was a boy made her job a lot easier in the long run.
"Hey Alex, what about you? Any significant women in your life?" Blaise asked suddenly, drawing her back into a conversation that she wanted to avoid.
Alex mentally squirmed under the gazes of her friends, especially Draco. His blue eyes contained a look of keen interest in her answer. She thankfully maintained her calm outward appearance in front of them.
"No, I don't have time for women," she answered, easily dodging the obvious question Blaise had hidden under the spoken question.
"You gotta live a little!" Blaise exclaimed, clearly disappointed with her answer.
Alex shrugged and got up from her seat, "I'm gonna go unpack. I'll see you guys up in the dormitory."
Draco watched the retreating back of his friend with an odd look on his face.
"Hey, Draco…I've always wondered this. Do you think Alex is…you know, gay?" Blaise whispered urgently after he looked around for eavesdroppers.
Draco would be lying if he said he didn't wonder the same thing sometimes, but Alex was his friend and Draco would defend him until he had proof that he was or wasn't.
"I doubt it. He's in Slytherin, how could he be?" Draco answered aloud, though Blaise could hear the uncertainty in his voice.
"I suppose you're right, like always," Blaise said with a shrug.
Draco nodded silently, lost in the thoughts Blaise brought to the forefront of his mind.
"Alex, wake up."
"Mm, Draco, go away," Alex groaned, pulling the sheets over her head.
"Who takes a nap during the day?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Me. Now me leave alone," she growled dangerously when Draco started to tug at the sheets covering her head.
"Alex, come on. You know Quidditch tryouts are today. You have to be there."
"Whyyyy?" she whined, holding the sheets tightly over her head.
"You're co-captain," Draco reminded her patiently, finally winning the sheets tug-a-war duel they were in.
Alex winced when the bright lights of the dormitory she shared with the Slytherin boys hit her eyes.
"I trust your judgment, Captain," she muttered, making an attempt to pull the sheets back over her head.
"Alexander Knight," Draco said steadily, trying to control his temper, "You know that it is required for the co-captain to be at the tryouts."
She sighed, hearing the command in his voice. There was no arguing with the Slytherin Prince. Though, Alex did feel slightly special. Draco never directly commanded her to do something like he did with other people. It must've been her personality that made him like that, not that she was complaining.
"Fine your highness, I'm getting up," she muttered, making Draco roll his eyes.
"You don't have to be sarcastic."
I wasn't.
She didn't say anything aloud, settling for a shrug instead.
"Be down at the pitch in thirty minutes, ok?" Draco said calmly, giving her a look before leaving her alone in the dormitory.
Alex sent the shut door a glare before rolling out of bed grumpily. She grabbed her clothes and her Quidditch robes that said Knight in silver on the back of the green fabric then went to the bathroom to change. She always had to be careful; nothing would be more awkward than one of her friends walking in on her and seeing the wrap she used to flatten her chest- not to mention her cover would definitely be blown. Nothing screams 'I'm not a guy' like having boobs, to put it bluntly.
After she changed, she threw her pajamas on her bed hastily before grabbing her broom. She glanced out her window before leaving and groaned. Not only did Draco wake her up from her nap, but it was raining outside.
"Perfect," she muttered, slamming the door behind her.
A/N: yes that's the end of the chapter . don't kill me for it being short! I know it is :( just enjoy it and look for the next chapter! Please review! :) I would love you forevers if you did!
