Chapter Two

The feast went great. Thank god I was on gryffindor. My brothers woulda killed me if I wasn't! But ya so as I was walking up the stairs towards the common room I saw her. Boy was she pretty. "Hello I'm Courtney Yeager. You must be Alexis Weasley right?"

"Hair and freckles give it away?"

"Kinda but really it was the eyes."

"Wait are you Fantasia's sister?"

"Yes do you know her?"

"Not really but she talked to me today. She seemed kinda snobby. No offense."

"Oh none take. She is quite a prat. She thinks because she's a prefect that she's all special but she's not. Anyways she absolutely despises me."

"Why?" I couldn't understand why anyone wouldn't like Courtney. She seemed really nice. A little crazy but really nice.

"Because I'm the only one in my family not in Ravenclaw."

"Oh what house are you in?"

"Gryffindor."

"Awesome me to!" I walked back to the Gryffindor tower with Courtney. She was freaking awesome! It turns out this is her first year at Hogwarts. She moved from a place called Southgate, Michigan in America. I knew she was gonna love it here. Courtney was a very pretty girl. She had very curly hair but it was no where near as bad as Hermione's.

Just as the portrait hole opened I was slammed into the stone wall behind me by some kind of jinx. That's when I lost consiousness.

"Lexi Boo? You awake?"

"Ughh where am I?" I asked groggily. I tried sitting up. The hole left side of my body burned. Ron and Harry both pushed me back down.

"Hospital wing." Harry said. I groaned of course I had to be the one to get hurt on the first day of term. "You got hit by a pretty powerful bat boogey hex by accident. When you hit the wall the whole left side of you got smashed up pretty good." one look at his face and I knew who.

"Why was Ginny hexing someone?" I asked them.

"Well Dean Thomas was saying stuff about you and she got really mad. She starting screaming cuss words at him and shot a few hexes and some jinxs. He's so much of a man that he almost got her with a full body bind but when she saw what he was going to do she shot out a bat boogey hex and he dived out of the way just as you came in. She must have been pretty mad to throw a spell as powerful as that one. It completely slammed you 5 feet backwards and into a wall. Course your tiny so it was probably less powerful on other people..." Harry said looking down. I knew he felt bad.

"Where is Ginny?" I asked I needed to talk to her.

"Somewhere in the East tower. She looked pretty upset." Ron said looking mad as heck.

"What about Dean?"

"Well Dean isn't going to be pretty for a while. He didn't want to come to Madame Pomfrey so he could get fixed up so his face was pretty bad last I saw it."

"WAIT A MINUTE. RONALD WEASLEY-"

"Lex he got what he deserved calm down. Anyways with what he was saying about you don't ya think he deserved what he got?"

"What exactly would that be Ron?"

"You couldn't expect me to let him get away with it-"

"I tried to stop him Lexis, I really did." Harry added in.

"Ron is she awake?" someone whispered from behind the curtains.

"Yup wide awake and firey as ever." Ron said smirking. The curtains flew open and I saw Courtney and Ginny.

"Lexi i'm so sorry." Ginny began.

"Save it Ginny it wasn't your fault. If someone was saying crap about you I would be pretty mad to." I said hugging her.

"You didn't tell her did you?" Ginny asked Ron.

"Um guys I uhh gotta go to the umm-" Ron started.

"Library. We need to go to the library so, bye." Harry and Ron practically ran out of the room.

"Court can you tell her? I just can't do it."

"Ok so Lex we have no clue how he did it but Dean got into the girl dormitories somehow." I was absolutely dumb founded. "And Dean got ahold of something of yours."

"OH MY GOD COURTNEY DON'T TELL ME HE GOT MY-" she cut me off.

"Your diary." I slammed the pillow against my head.

"Dean felt it would be amusing to read it out loud to every Gryffindor in the common room. By the time Ginny or the twins got there he had already read half of it and added his own commentary. Ron, Fred, and George had fun with him once they found out what he had tried to do to you and Ginny." Courtney said looking slightly amused.

2 HOURS LATER

"Courtney?" a voice said. She apparently recognized it an whipped around.

"Draco?" instantly my temper flared.

"What are you doing with that Weasley girl?" he asked sarcastically.

"ALEXIS, happens to be my friend." she said putting emphathis on my name.

"Your friend?" he asked, a little sarcastically.

"One of the best." she answered.

"Malfoy what do you want?"

"Weasley I came here to talk to Courtney so can you please scram. Go and play with your brothers why don't you. You have enough of them one of them can't be busy." I took a step forward my hand twitching towards my wand that was just stowed up the sleve of my hoodie. He stepped forward to drawing out his wand. Courtney tried to pull me back.

"Alexis it's not worth it. Anyways your in no condition to fight." just as she said it a boy who I didn't know walked by.

"Going to fight a girl Malfoy? Are you really that low? Don't you know who that is?" he said pointing at me.

"She's a Weasley. A filthy blood traitor. That's all I need to know." Draco snarled.

"Look at her eyes you idiot don't you realize who she is? She isn't just any Weasley..not that I have anything against the rest. I particularly love the twins..." the boy said. So he knew Fred and George.

"Wait Jordan-is she the one all the rumor's are about? The one who got bit by the dragon? The one who Harry Potter fancies?" Draco asked lowering his wand and stowing it away.

"Alexis?" the boy apparently knew me somehow.

"Do I know you?" I asked a little timidly. Ok so like 5 people have come up to me and knew who I was. It was getting a little freaky. 2 boys even asked me out! I said no because I have my heart set on a Gryffindor who is older than I am.

"Lee Jordan. The twins have told me about you. Is it true that when you were 10 you set Fred on fire?" he asked.

"Umm ya it was an accident though. Bill wouldn't tell me what the spell would do so I just kinda tested it out." I said laughing. A short little man walked by.

"Ah you must be Ms. Weasley. Well Ms. Weasley number 2. Can you please follow me." Courtney looked at me with a questioningly look. I just shrugged my shoulders and followed the little man down the hallway to an office on the third floor. "Please sit down Ms. Weasley. Now I know you are wondering why you are here. Well my name is Professor Flitwick. I am the charms teacher here at Hogwarts and I saw you perform the most astounding happiness charm. That is a spell that is usually learned at a 5th years level. Now I would like to make you an offer that would be very difficult to refuse. I would like you to take 4th year charms along with your brother Ronald. You are a very gifted young witch and I believe that you will achieve so much more at a higher level of learning. This is a very good opportunity and I would advise you to take it. If you are ever having trouble I am here to help guide you the way." he gave me a small smile.

"Um wow ok." was all I could say. He picked up a blank piece of parchment and tapped it with his wand.

"Here is your new schedule Ms. Weasley."

"Thank you, oh and professor?"

"Yes dear?"

"You can call me Lexi." and I shut the door behind me. As I walked up towards the Gryffindor tower I nearly tripped over Courtney. She was sitting in a secet passgage way behind a tapestry. One look at her and I knew something was wrong. "Courtney? Honey what's going on?" I asked her quietly as I slid down onto the floor next to her.

"It's Draco. He asked me to go to the dance with him but I..I.." and she sobbed into my shoulder.

"It's ok honey just tell me what's going on."

"I said yes but I just don't know if it's the right thing to do. I mean I heard him call some girl a mud blood and that was just terrible."

"Who did he call a mud blood?"

"Her name was Emily."

"Courtney go to the common room i'll meet you there."

"Where are you going?" she asked me looking worried.

"I'm going to go have a chat with a little pal of mine."
