Chapter Two: Trains, Lola, and Freddie Crougers Chest

Alexandra's POV

The first thing I heard as I crossed over the barrier to platform nine and three quarters was the sound of Sam and James bickering like an old married couple. I'd said bye to my Mum, Dad and sister outside the barrier. I'm muggle born see.

My sister had assured me that this would be my year.

Right.

She means well, she really does, but she's as skinny as a rake. She doesn't understand at all.

'Care of Magical Creatures,' Sam was saying to James, 'is not a soft subject. You know you're only saying that because you only got an Acceptable.'

'I am not,' James replied hotly. 'I'm just stating the obvious fact that unless you're going to run off with Dragons, it's basically a useless subject.'

'But she is going to run off with dragons,' Mr Potter said as he helped Lily wheeled her trunk past them.

'That's beside the point!' James said raising his voice slightly.

'Shut up James,' Sam said starting to push her trunk away from him. 'You're digging a huge metaphorical hole.'

James pushed his trolley after her. 'I am not-'

'Actually it's becoming more of a pit,' I said.

They both turned around.

'Alex!' James said before practically jumping on me to give a hug bear hug.

'Yeah,' Sam said, 'I'd join in with that hug but I'm really cross at James so I'll wait till he's done.'

But James just pulled her in anyway and soon people started giving us weird looks.

'Alex,' Sam whined. 'James here is being an ass and criticizing my NEWT choices.'

I shook my head. 'Not everyone wants to be an auror James,' I said to him, then turned back to Sam. 'So what're you doing?'

'Care of Magical Creatures, Potions, Charms, DADA and Transfiguration. You?' She asked.

'Ancient Runes, History of Magic, DADA, Transfiguration, Charms, potions, and Arithmacy' I said. 'I want to be a curse breaker.'

'Seven!' James scrunched up his face. 'Ewwwwww... yuck.'
'Two year old,' Sam said.

'Oh, like you're not,' James bumped her on the shoulder.

Sam seemed to consider this for a moment. 'Nah,' she said. 'I'm more like three. I'm defiantly the mature one in this relationship.'

For some reason James blushed at the word relationship. Hum… how interesting.

I rolled my eyes ignoring it though. 'Why are you two even here?'

'Hey! My poor heart,' Sam said in a mock hurt voice putting her hand on her chest. 'I take offence to that Alex.'

I laughed, 'Sam, your hearts on the other side of your chest.'

'I knew that,' she said instantly.

'Anyway, see you guys on the train, I have to go to the prefect's compartment quickly.' I said as James chortled and Sam glared.

'Oh yeah,' James said sobering. 'The perfect prefect. What did you get in your OWL's anyway?'

I gave James a withering look but I knew he was joking. 'Eight O's and 2 E's in Divination and Astronomy.'

'You got an E in Divination,' Alex looked impressed. 'I got a P and this one here got a T. Moron.'

'Hey!' James exclaimed. 'At least I failed in style.'

'There is absolutly no such thing as failing in style,' Alex said.

'You nearly did as well as Louis,' James said and nodded in his direction where he was flirting with Lorcan and Lysanders mum. Louis was incidentally my fellow prefect.

'What did he get?' I said trying to keep my voice normal.

'Nine O's and one E.' James said. 'I don't know how he did it. Maybe he actually did study in those late night trips to the library. I always got the impression he was sha-'

The rest of his sentence was drowned out by the train's horn honking loudly.

AEAEAEAEAEAE

Freddie's POV

'Can you see her,' I said bending down slightly trying to keep out of sight, which is hard to do if you're as tall as me.

'Nope,' Roxy said popping the 'p' without even looking round the station.

'Could you at least look,' I snapped at her.

She sighed at looked around. 'No, I don't see her. And to be honest she's the type of person you hear before you see, so if you hear a high pitch squeaking noise going 'Freddiewebbie' you know you're fucked.'

'Language Roxanne,' our Mum said and then she turned to me. 'And Gwen isn't here yet.'

'Good,' I said standing back up and looking warily around the station. 'If you do see her, warn a bloke.'

'Son,' my Dad said. 'Have you thought about maybe dumping her?'

Mum nodded in agreement.

'See that's what I keep saying,' Roxanne said.

'I know,' I snapped. 'But have you tried dumping someone before. It's bloody difficult.'

'Louis seems to have no trouble doing it,' my Mum said.

'Louis is a Veela. He's messed up in that department.' I said. 'Plus I don't want to hurt her feelings.'

'Sweetheart,' My Mum said. 'You don't want to end up with her for the rest of your life, do you?'

I didn't say anything but the train blew its horn so it didn't exactly matter.

My Mum pulled me in for a hug. 'Be good,' she said. 'If I hear you've set anything on fire…' She left the threat open.

'And son,' Dad said. 'Loose the girlfriend.'

Roxanne's POV

The door to the compartment that the Wotter-Scamander-Honorary Family Member-Clan was sitting in slid open and Louis stepped in. His clothes looked slightly rumpled and his hair was messy indicating somebody had been running their fingers through it.

Someone who was most likely not him.

I rolled my eyes as all the girls in the compartment who weren't blood related blushed and became incapable of forming even the simplest of words.

'Who was it this time?' I asked scooting a little closer to Alex to make room for Louis.

He raised his eyebrows. 'I didn't know you cared Roxy.'

I scrutinised him. 'How are you a prefect? Professor Longbottom must have had a stroke when he sent you that badge Louis.'

'Hey,' Albus objected. 'That's my future father in law you're talking about.'

'Shut it Al,' Alice snapped angrily. 'Unless you're marrying Frank, that's unlikely, and anyway, I agree with you Roxanne.' She looked down the compartment and winked at me.

I couldn't help it.

I blushed and felt my heart skipped a beat.

What the hell?

'Pardon,' Alex said.

Woops. Did I say that out loud?

'Nothing, nothing,' I said.

The compartment door slid open again before I could answer revealing Dom with her pink hair and pink lipstick. She was gorgeous but not like her brother Louis. This was apparently because Veela blood affects males more than females.

Who knew huh?

'Sup,' Dom grinned. She reached down the corridor and dragged her boyfriend Rory Daniels towards the door. 'They're in this one idiot,' she laughed.

Rory grinned sheepishly at us with that cute yet kind of dorky smile that only he could pull of. 'Hey people,' he said.

Yeah. Dom and Rory. They would give Sander and Antonio a run for their money in a cutest couple competition. They've been dating five years. Yes five. Rory asked Dom out at the begining of their second year. They're now in their seventh. Everyone thought it was just puppy love but here they are five years later.

Rory's a bit like Teddy. Cute, clumsy and unaware. There's also the fact that they're both dating Weasley nee Declore girls.

It's practically impossible to dislike Rory.

'Rory,' Louis said. 'Still dating my sister I see.'

Unless you're Louis.

'Yep,' Rory said giving Dom a soppy grin which she returned. Apparently he had missed the hate in Louis voice.

'Treating her well?' Louis asked.

I snorted at that. Louis had obviously over looked the way he treated the guys and girls he dated… if you could even call what he did with them dating.

'I saw Louis come in,' Dom said giving him evils at his comment. 'As head girl, I thought I'd check he wasn't molesting a first year.'

Sometimes I wonder how Dom managed to get head girl. After all she has pink hair, neon pink lipstick and a way to short skirt plus a really laid back personality. Then I remember her eleven O's at OWL's.

Louis grinned. 'If anyone's molesting first years hear it's Roxanne,' he smirked at me. 'I mean isn't Scorpius a little young for you. Are you sure you too should be dating?'

How little you know Louis.

Scorpius looked furious and seemed to be getting ready to say a thing or two to Louis.

'Oh please,' I waved Louis of. 'If he gave you a chance you'd be on him in a second.'

Louis grinned. 'Touché.'

'Ah mate,' Scorp groaned. 'Seriously?'

'What can I say?' Louis said. 'You're attractive. Shame you're completely straight.'

I looked as Scorp shrugged slightly. He's always been the quiet one in this group. I mean, he got Alex to ask me out for him. He's under confident. I guess it's because he's embarrassed about being a Malfoy, but I've always wondered how a boy as gorgeous as he is could be so under confident. I've never understood why he doesn't just look in the mirror every morning and think 'Merlin, I'm hot'.

Come to think about it, I've never understood him more than he understands me.

Suddenly I feel sick.

RWRWRWRWRWRW

Alexander's POV

'Bathroom,' Roxanne mutters and all but runs out the compartment.

Huh?

I got up and attempted to get to the door tripping up on Molly's bloody cat on the way.

Great.

So now I'm fat and clumsy.

I hate that damn cat.

'Roxanne,' I called down the corridor. 'Are you ok?'

She turned to face me. 'Yeah, the compartment was just a bit full.'

'Yeah, I know,' I said.

Is that the best she can do? I'm her best friend. I know when she's not telling the truth.

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. He he.

Anyways.

'Want to find an empty compartment?' I asked.

She nodded. 'Sure.'

We found an empty compartment near the front of the train after staring down a load of first years who wanted it.

Score one to Alex and Roxy. Ding ding.

'Ok Roxanne,' I said shutting the compartment door. 'Spill.'

'What I already told you-'

'You've been acting weird for ages,' I cut her off.

'Really?' She gave a little nervous laugh and ran a hand through her hair.

'Yep,' I nodded. 'Remember that day during the summer when I walked in on Freddie changing and told you his chest was starting to look really good? You didn't even tell me of.'

'What?' said a voice from outside the door.

I turned.

Freddie.

'Freddie, hi,' I said scraping a piece of my hair behind my ear. 'We were just talking about this guy... called Freddie Crouger... who has a really nice chest.'

'Oh,' Freddie said looking a little disappointed. 'Who's Freddie Crouger.'

'This… err model from the muggle world.' I said. 'Now go away.'

'Okay, okay,' he said raising his hands into the air, 'people these days.'

When he was gone Roxanne turned to me, 'Who's Freddie Crouger?'

'Don't change the subject sister.'

She gave me an angry look but then relented.

'Ok,' she said. 'Have you ever fancied someone you really shouldn't?'

Scorpius Malfoy pops into my head.

Hey? What can I say? The kids hot.

And anyway, it was ages ago.

Definitely before he and Roxy started dating of course.

'Err...' I laughed nervously. 'Sure.'

'Well that's what's happening to me,' she said. 'I like this... person, and it's not Scorp.'

I frowned. 'Well that's alright. It's natural to notice other people in relationships. You're not blind.'

'No,' she seemed exasperated. 'But me and Scorp… I know he doesn't know it, but we're having issues.'

'Oh...'

'It's like... I kiss him, and it feels like a chore. It's not what I want to do,' Roxanne said. 'But I do care about him,' she added. 'It just... You know the first month or so of a relationship, it's a little awkward, a little knew and you don't really know the person you're dating. Well with me and Scorpius, it's been like that constantly and we've been going out for around five months now.'

'Then tell him,' I said. 'For starters a relationship should feel right and if it doesn't, then you're not with the right person. For seconders... I mean secondly,' I correct myself, 'the last thing you want to do is lead him on.'

Roxanne looks out the window. 'I know,' she said. 'But he'll want an explanation and I'm not ready to give it. I don't want to hurt him like that.'

'Oh,' I said. 'Well Scorp is a genuinely nice block. As long as the explanation isn't that you're doing it with Freddie behind his back he'll except it.'

She fixed me with this look.

'Wait,' I said nervously. 'You're not actually doing it with Freddy behind his back are you?'

She rolled her eyes and smiled. 'No Alex, I'm not.'

AEAEAEAEAEAE

'McTravis, Jean.'

'Hufflepuff!'

'Hermont, Connor.'

'Griffindor!'

'Pinkleberry, Hortence.'

Poor kid.

'Hufflepuff.'

When the sorting finished McGonagall said a speech.

The contents of that speech however is unknown to me.

Well I'm sorry. It was pretty boring.

Then the food appeared. I piled my plate up like everyone else around me. I was busily tucking in when I noticed Lola Mclaggen smirking at me from the Slytherin table. She puffed her cheeks out then turned back to chatting with her friends.

It felt like the chicken had turned to dust in my mouth.

I didn't eat another bite.

Nobody noticed.

AEAEAEAEAEAE

'First years this way,' I called after dinner.

About ten titchy kids gathered around me in the entrance hall. I tried to put what had happened at dinner to the back of my mind.

'I'm Alex,' I said to the titches. 'But you can call me Captain Awesome Sauce.'

The tichies stared at me blankly.

'I'm joking,' I said hurriedly. 'You don't actually have to call me that.'

'Call you what,' said a cool voice which any girl around here would know instantly.

I turned. Louis Weasley. My knees went weak. There was a gasp from one of the first year girls.

'Gah, uh,' I said incoherently.

'Pardon,' he said smirking a little.

'N-Nothing,' I garbled. 'Nothing at all. I said nothing. Why would I have said something? Ha!'

I tried to pull myself together. 'Why are you here?'

'I'm a prefect,' he said.

Stupid Alex. Stupid, stupid.

'Oh,' I said. 'Yeah... ah... Griffindor common room?'

I started in that direction quickly with the titches struggling to keep up.

'Captain Awesome sauce,' a boy said, 'slow down.'

Louis gave me a weird look.

Fantastic.

'My, my,' said a silky voice from the shadows. 'Louis you are lowering your standards.'

Lola stepped out of the dark flanked by four ridiculously pretty girls.

'Ickle first years and The Troll,' she looked at me. 'Pathetic.'

Louis regarded her.

'Girls,' Lola addressed her posse. 'Tomorrow we can go twice round Alex for our run. That'll add up to five miles. Don't you think Louis?'

I was frozen on the spot.

Louis gave her a long look. 'Somehow I doubt it... Lola is it? Maybe Arithmacy isn't your strong point.'

Lola looked pleased he had remembered her name. She glanced at his lips. 'Want me to show you what my strong point really is?' she said in what was probably meant to be a sexy voice.
Louis leaned forward so his lips were brushing Lola's ear.

'No,' he said simply.

'What?' Lola seemed shocked.

Louis smirked at her. 'See you round,' he said and took a couple of steps down the corridor then turned back to wait for the first years and me.

Lola glared at me. 'Watch you don't crush the little ones when you walk whale.' Then she turned and walked away laughing with her friends.

I wasn't aware I was crying until a girl pulled at my sleeve and said. 'Captain, are you ok?'

I didn't answer. I pushed past Louis who was looking at me rather awkwardly and ran all the way to the Griffindor tower. I managed to slip into my dorm unseen and to my bed next to Roxanne's. I threw open my trunk and started chucking all the food I had onto my bed. Then I gathered it all up and chucked it out the window.

It all had to go.

All of it.

Then I threw myself onto my bed, cast a silencing charm and cried and cried and cried.

AEAEAEAEAEAE

James' POV

'Eww!' I said. 'I can't rate her. She's like my sister.'

Lorcan stared back at me. 'Well you must have noticed her at some point. She is a girl,' He added like that changed everything.

Ok, so yes Sam did have very nice legs, but that was beside the point. She was Sam. Sam is not on my list of potential girlfriends.

Not at all.

'Well if that's what you think, you rate her,' I said and chucked an earwax flavoured Berty Botts Every Flavoured Bean at him.

'I'd rate her a seven,' Frank interrupted.

A seven! Were we even talking about the same girl?

'Hey!' I said. 'She deserves more than a seven.'

'Thought you couldn't rate her,' Lorcan smirked.

'I can't,' I scoffed. 'But I can guess that she's more than that... plus she's a FOJ'

'What?'

'Friend of James. That makes here about an eleven out of ten maybe?' I said reasonably.

'Well she would be,' Frank said. 'She's pretty enough, she's just got no tits to speak of.'

'I agree,' Lorcan said. 'Add in a pair of them and you've got yourself the perfect woman.'

I glared at them as Frank nodded his head vigorously. 'That's very derogatory,' I said. 'Women are all pretty in their own right.'

'Tell that to Louis,' Lorcan called.

'How about Alice,' I smirked as Frank glared daggers at me.

'That's my twin moron,' He said with narrowed eyes.

'See now you know how I feel,' I reasoned.

The door to the dorm opened and Louis walked in.

'How were the first years,' Freddie asked from across the room where he was unpacking.

'Small,' Louis replied sitting on his bed looking deep in thought.

'What's on your mind Sunny Jim,' I asked.

'Why are girls such bitches?' Louis said.

Freddie stood up from shoving his trunk under his bed. 'Now there's a question.'

'What brought that on Lou Lou,' I said. 'Did a girl just turn you down?'

'That'd be the day,' He smirked. 'No, a girl didn't turn me down. Lola Mclaggen basically just left Alex in tears when we went to get the first years with her.'

A silence stretched out after this. What Louis just said left a bitter taste in my mouth.

'I like Alex,' Freddie said angrily. 'She was at my house this summer because of Roxy and she was a laugh. Plus she thinks I have a nice chest.'

'What makes you think that,' I said.

'I heard her telling Roxanne on the train,' Freddie grinned.

'Now there's a side to that girl I've never seen,' I said.

'Don't tell me you're actually interested in Alex Everett now Freddie,' Lorcan said. 'She's not exactly shaggable is she?'

I aimed a shocked look at Lorcan.

'Dude,' I said. 'Sometimes I wonder whether your mouth is actually attached to your brain.'

'What?' Lorcan said trying to figure out what he actually said that was wrong.

'Mate,' I said. 'Alex is family. Don't say crap like that about her.'

Lorcan had the grace to look ashamed.

The dorm room banged open and Sam walked in.

'Samantha White,' I said, 'how lovely of you to grace us with your presence.'

'Whatever looser,' she said. 'I'm just here to claim my every flavoured bean tax.'

'Sure,' I passed her the box.

'When are you calling try outs,' she asked as she tried to find a bean that might not kill her.

'Friday maybe,' I said. 'I doubt the running's will change that much though.'

That was when Sam choked and spat out a bean onto my lap.

'Nasty,' I said standing up doing an awkward dance. The bean flew to a dark corner of a room.

'Soz,' she said like it didn't really matter and collapsed on her bed. 'What are you all talking about.'

'Lola Mclaggen,' I said.

She aimed a shocked look at me and I realised what that sounded like.

'No not like that,' I added quickly. 'Just about how much of a bitch she is.'

'That she is matey. That she is,' then she added. 'You know who's also a bitch James? Your brother. I was on my way up here and he suggested that I switch to a different conditioner because the one I'm using now apparently leaves my hair like straw.'

I caught on to what she was saying. 'I suppose you want revenge,' I said.

'That I do,' she said.

'You know,' Freddie said edging closer towards us. 'I have some brilliant time bombs for you if-'

'NO.'

JPJPJPJPJPJP

'What the actual hell James?' Al thundered at breakfast the next morning.

'We felt people had the right to know the truth,' I reasoned and Freddie sniggered next to me.

'That,' Albus said furiously pointing to the words above the doors to the great hall, 'is not the truth.'

I looked towards the writing that said 'Albus Potter is the heir of Slytherin. Repent'.

'Isn't it,' I said feigning surprise. 'Golly,' I vanished the letters, 'sorry about that old chap.'

Al furiously threw himself into a seat which would normally be occupied by Alex who wasn't here yet.

'Bug off, I'm not even in Slytherin,' he basically screamed at some Hufflepuff first years who had been gawking at him. They squeaked and ran away apart from one of them who was staring transfixed at Louis. A boy grabbed her wrist and dragged her away.

'Come on,' he hissed. 'You don't want to anger the heir. He's a psychopath.'

Albus looked furious.

'Hi everyone, sorry were late,' Lysander bustled in pulling Antonio behind him. 'We were otherwise engaged.'

Antonio looked very smug.

I didn't even want to think about why.

'Have you heard,' Lysander continued in an awfully girly way. 'Tameka Robinson is pregnant.'

'Really,' Roxanne said, not concealing her glee. 'That bitch had it coming,' she stabbed her fork into her bacon and savagely ripped a chunk of with her teeth. 'Ever since she asked whether my flavour was chocolate orange. Hoe bag.'

'Uh-hu,' Alice agreed. 'Totally not on.'

'Uh, yeah,' Roxanne looked at her plate.

I looked at her wondering why she had gone so quiet. Lysander was also looking, but with a face that was not quite understanding, but suspicion. Roxanne looked at him uncomfortably with a face that said 'What? I didn't do anything.'

Weird.

'Want to hear something more interesting than Tameka Robinson,' Sam asked seriously.

Lysander looked at her as if he was challenging her to tell him something he didn't know.

Sam lowered her voice to a stage whisper. 'We have a traitor in our mists. Al is the heir of Slytherin.'

Albus flung a sausage at her which landed in her lap.

'Food fight,' Sam yelled attracting most of the halls attention.

'I think not,' Professor McGonagall said.

I sort of love that girl.

Sam I mean, not McGonagall.

Eww.
