Alright everyone! Here is chapter two of Demons at Hogwarts!!!! Please enjoy!

On September 1st the Weasleys, Harry, Yusuke, Kurama, Alex and Kuwabara made their way to Platform 9 and 3/4. Hiei had been invited to stay with Draco Malfoy and his family. Alex had encouraged Hiei to go. She enjoyed having someone on the 'inside' as she called it.

It was ten to eleven when they reached the gateway to the Hogwarts Express. Fred and George went first followed by Alex, Kurama, Yusuke and Kuwabara. Ginny went followed by her parents and Harry and Ron came behind them but never reappeared on the other side. Unfortunatly for them no one noticed in the hurry to get seats on the train.

Later, when the group- minus Fred, George and Ginny- had settled in an empty compartment, did they notice that Harry and Ron were not with them.

"Guys, where's Harry and Ron?" Kuwabara asked.

Alex looked out the car in the walkway but didn't see them. "I dunno." She said when pulled her head back in. "I thought they were right behind us."

"Should we go look for them?" Hermione asked.

"Yea. Kurama, Hermione, go talk with the Ravenclaws. Kazuma, Yusuke go talk with the Hufflepuffs. I'll go and find Hiei." Alex said, they all went their separate ways. On her way to the Slytherins car she ran into Fred, George and Lee Jordan. "Hello, Lee, did you have a good summer?" She asked, since she didn't have a chance to talk to him in Diagon Alley.

"It was pretty normal. How about you?" He replied.

"I'm surprised the twins didn't tell you." She said looking at them coyly. They both blushed. "I spent most of my summer practicing Quidditch." She said, telling a little lie.

"Good, we Gryffindors need to win the Cup this year."

She nodded her head, then remembered why she was wandering the compartments. "Have you all seen Harry or Ron? They weren't in our compartment with us."

"Nope sorry." George replied.

The other two shook their heads.

"Alright, thanks. I better keep going." And she continued towards the Slytherins compartment. When she arrived she could see Blaise Zabini, Crabbe, Goyle, Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson all laughing at something. Hiei was sulking near the window. She took a deep breath and opened the door. They looked over at her.

"Well, look what we have here, a Gryffindor wandered into our midst." Zabini said, jokingly.

"Back off Zabini." Malfoy said. Alex was surprised.

"Defending me Malfoy? I'm surprised." Alex said. Hiei smiled at her.

You'd be surprised as to why. Hiei said to her telepathically.

What do you know? She asked eagerly.

I'm afraid I can't tell you. He teased.

Well, you're no fun. She pouted.

"So what are you doing here, Rowen?" Malfoy asked, trying to change the subject.

"Looking for Harry and Ron. They weren't behind us when we got on the train. I'm a little worried."

"Well, they're obviously not here." Pansy said, annoyed that Alex was currently recieving Malfoy's attention.

"Duh, I knew that." Alex retorted, which made Pansy give her a dirty look. "I'm here for Hiei. I want his help."

Hiei was about to stand up, happy to be away from his fellow Slytherins when Malfoy said, "I'll help you." Everyone stared at him.

"I don't think that's a good idea." Hiei protested. There, Alex saw that Hiei knew something and he didn't want Alex to know what it was.

"I agree-" Pansy tried to say but Alex cut her off.

"Why don't you both come?" She said. She was tired of there being tension between Gryffindors and Slytherins. She was going to do her best to play nice with them, and the best way to do that was to be nice to the head honcho of Slytherins.

"Fine." Hiei said reluctantly. So the three of them left the compartment along the way back to Alex's car they asked Gryffindors and Slytherins alike if they had seen Harry and Ron. No one had. They reached the compartment, exhausted and slumped into the seats, waiting for the others to return.

"So, Malfoy, what do you get out of helping me?" Alex asked. He turned to look at her.

"Nothing. Why? Can't I do something nice for a change?"

She looked at him skepitically. "Not unless their part of your own house. And the last time I checked, I wasn't a Slytherin." She retorted.

He shook his head and smiled at her. "That maybe true, unfortunatly, Hiei is a friend of yours, and he his a friend of mine, which means I have to help you."

She blushed at his smile, but managed a comeback, "I didn't know you had friends, Malfoy."

"Watch your tongue Rowen." He stood up. "Well, I best be going. I don't need to be confronted by your friends." And he left to back to his compartment.

Alex sighed. Just then the others came back in and sat down. Since Harry nor Ron was with them, she figured that they hadn't found them.

"Where's Kazuma?" She asked noticing he wasn't there.

"With his Hufflepuff friends." Kurama said. Alex looked out the window. She could see the school as they rounded the bend.

"We're almost there, we should change into our robes." She said, glad that they hadn't mentioned Malfoy.

Alex always enjoyed the start of the year feast. It included the Sorting. All the first years were sorted into the house that the sorting hat believed they belonged in. At the feast, Ginny Weasley was sorted into Gryffindor house. They had all cheered. As the Feast wore on, talk began to spread of a flying car spotted by Muggles, and that it had flown straight into the Whomping Willow on the Hogwarts grounds, and that the people flying it were Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Alex looked across the table at Hermione, whose face began to show signs of worry. "Don't fret Hermione. I just hope the right teacher reached them first." She said looking up at the teachers table where Snape, McGonagall and Dumbledore had all disappeared.

Hermione led the way up the stairs to the Fat Lady's portrait, who guarded the entrance to the common room. By her portrait, there was Harry and Ron waiting for someone with the password. "Thank goodness you're alright!" Alex said hugging them both. "Everyone's talking about you being expelled. I can't believe you flew that car without me!"

"Figures that's what you'd say." Ron said yawning.

"But we're not expelled. Just detention." Harry reassured them of that.

"So what's the password? We're exhausted." Ron asked.

"It's 'wattlebird' but-" Hermione was cut off as the portrait swung open and cheers from their fellow Gryffindors drowned her out. They all stepped inside, everyone was congratulating Harry and Ron.

"It's brilliant!" Lee Jordan said. "People'll be talking about this for years!"

"Right into the Whomping Willow! It's incredible."

Harry and Ron were both blushing madly as they tried to make their way to the boys' dormitory. "Alright, that's enough!" Alex cried out. The room went silent. "You all can talk to them in the morning. Can't you tell they're tired?" She said, the blood rushing to her cheeks from the attention.

"Thanks Alex." Harry muttered. He and Ron crept through the packed room and disappeared up the staircase to their dormitory.

"Gee Alex, great way to ruin the night." George said, jokingly.

"Oh, shove off." She said and made her way to the girls dormitory, Hermione right behind her.

The next morning was fairly interesting for Alex. Everyone but the Slytherins greeted Harry and Ron like they were heroes, the Slytherins just taunted them. Alex sat inbetween Hermione and Ron and as she reached for some bacon the mail came.

Geneviève, Alex's rather small, fluffball of an owl, flew down and landed next to her plate with a letter from Botan attached to her leg. She was about to open it when Ron gasped next to her. Errol was there, covered in milk, holding out a scarlet red envelope.

"What is it Ron?" Harry asked.

"Mum sent me a- a Howler." Ron whispered, looking as if he was ready to run away from the thing.

"You should open it," Neville said from the other side of the table. "Gran sent me one once. It was awful."

Ron's hands shook as he reached for the letter and took if from Errol. Carefully he tore the seal off, and suddenly Mrs. Weasley's screaming could be heard from the far reaches of the Hall.

"HOW DARE YOU! STEALING THE CAR! YOU COULD HAVE DIED! WE ARE ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED, YOUR FATHER'S FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK AND IT'S ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT! IF YOU PLACE ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE WE'LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT BACK HOME!"

There was silence throughout the Hall. The red envelope tore itself up and the little pieces floated to the table. Ron sat stunned, all he could utter were little unintelligable noises. As talking began to resume around the Hall, Alex heard snickering, and looked over at the Slytherin table. They were ready to burst out laughing. She glared at them, and Malfoy looked up and caught her gaze and shut up instantly. She blinked, surprised that her looks could stop Malfoy in his tracks. His behavior was becoming more and more bizarre to her.

Alex looked at Ron who was still stunned by the Howler. "Buck up Ron, at least it's over with." She said as Professor McGonagall came by with their schedules. Their first class was double Herbology with Hufflepuff. Alex smiled. "At least our first class is with Kazuma."

They all met up with Kuwabara and made their way to the greenhouses. When they got to Greenhouse 1, the rest of their houses were already there standing in front of Professor Sprout.

"Everyone we're in Greenhouse Three today!" She called over the chatter of the students. They instantly became excited, for they had never been allowed to work in Greenhouse three.

The students stepped inside after Professor Sprout. "Everyone take a place around the table there."

Alex stood between Kurama and Ron. Hermione was next to Kurama. Harry, Yusuke and Kuwabara stood across from them. In front of them were two different planting pots, one empty and one with a plant in it. There were also a pair of earmuffs for each of them. Professor Sprout stood at the head of the table her earmuffs already on. "Today we will be repotting Mandrakes. Can anyone tell me what a Mandrake is?" Professor Sprout asked.

To no surprise, Hermione and Kurama were the first people to raise their hands. Alex would have as well, but she didn't know Herbology as well as they did. "Yes, Suichi?"

"Madrakes, or Mandragora is a powerful restorative that restores people who have been cursed to their original state. The cry of the Mandrake is fatal to anyone who hear's it's cry." Suichi said.

"Very good, ten points to Gryffindor." Professor Sprout said. "Right now, our Mandrakes are still young enough that their cry won't kill you, but it will knock you out for a few hours. That's what your earmuffs are for. So put them on and make sure they're on tight."

They all grabbed their earmuffs and put them on. The sounds around Alex dulled. Professor Sprout's voice was muffled. "Alright, everyone have their earmuffs on? Excellent. To repot your Mandrake, just grip the foliage, and pull hard," She pulled on her Mandrake and out popped what looked like a dirty, shrieking, fat, wrinkled baby. Proffesor Sprout yelled over the shrieking, "Place the Mandrake into the new pot, and spread dirt all around it until it's covered up to the foliage. You may begin!"

At the end of class they were dirty and tired. They made their way back to the castle to wash up, then the Gryffindors made their way to Transfiguration.

Alex was always excited for Transfiguration, considering that she herself could transform into different things, it made it easier for her to transfigure other things. Today they were turning beetles into buttons. By the end of class Alex had a pile of multicolored buttons. She recieved ten points for Gryffindor. Hermione had a hand full of buttons and so did Kurama. Ron had been having problems with his wand, which was now wrapped in Spellotape, but it seemed to be dameged beyond repair.

At the end of class they went down to the Great Hall for lunch.

They sat at a table and were joined by Kuwabara.

"So what have we got this afternoon?" Alex asked Hermione.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Wonderful. We finally get to meet the crazt teacher who just loves Lockhart."

"Don't be too quick to judge." Alex turned to see that it was George Weasley who spoke. "We just got back from Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

"And?" Kuwabara asked, who hadn't yet been to his class yet.

"You'll be surprised." Fred said.

"Come on, guys, just tell us, please." Alex said.

"Alright, but only because you asked nicely." George said. "It's Gilderoy Lockhart himself."

They all sat there in stunned silence. Hermione's face grew into a smile. "Really? It's really Gilderoy Lockhart?" She practically squeled with delight.

"Ugh." Alex made a face. "That's not what I wanted to hear. Thanks for telling us."

"No problem. You should always be prepared." They left.

"I'm surprised with you Alex." Kuwabara said. She looked at him.

"Why?"

"You're not falling head over heels for Lockhart, like every other witch here." He replied.

"That's because I've read all his books, and I don't think he's done a single one of those things."

"You think it's all made up?" Hermione said, shocked. "I don't believe it."

"Believe what you want to. And I choose not to believe it."

Hermione opened up Voyages with Vampires and buried her nose in it, ignoring everyone else.

Alex sighed and shook her head. Just then a small mousy haired boy walked up to their table and snapped a picture of Harry and Alex, who were sitting next to each other. "Hi there! I'm Colin Creevey. I'm a Gryffindor too." He said breathlessly. "I know who you are." His eyes wandered to each of their scars. "I'm so excited to be in the same house as both of you. I'm such a big fan."

Alex and Harry looked at each other. Alex looked back at Colin. "It's very nice to meet you Colin. We, uh, honored that your such a big fan. But we were kind of hoping for a relaxing lunch, you know, and not really talk about us." She said.

"Oh, sure, of course. We can always talk later. Well see ya!" He said brightly and took off for where his fellow first years were sitting.

"He took that rather well." Yusuke said, trying to hold in a laugh.

The bell rang, signaling afternoon classes. They all- minus Kuwabara- made their way to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. They took their seats, the girls sitting towards the front and the boys, plus Alex sitting towards the back, and surveyed the room. Alex was sitting next to Yusuke who made a sound of disgust. At the front near the desk was a large moving portrait of Lockhart himself. The stairs leading up to Lockhart's office were lined with smaller moving pictures of Lockhart. Alex sighed. "It's going to be a long year."

Just then the office door opened and there stood Gilderoy Lockhart himself, smiling brightly and in gold colored robes. "Let me introduce your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher... me- Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary member of the Dark Force Defense League, and five time winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award. But I don't talk about that; I didn't get rid of the Banden Banshee by smiling at him." He laughed, showing off his oddly white teeth. All the girls sighed deeply- all, except Alex. "I am here to teach you how to defend yourselves against the dark elements." He said, putting on a serious face. He tapped his wand against a covered cage. It rattled, startling all the girls in the front. "In here is a most fearsome creature." He took off the cover and inside were little blue pixies, which were growling and laughing viciously. In the back Dean Thomas snorted to cover a laugh, like everyone else in the back of the room.

"Is there something you'd like to say Mr. Thomas?" Lockhart asked, oblivious to the masked laughter.

"What are they exactly?"

"Cornish Pixies. Feisty little things."

"Are- Are they dangerous?" He asked, still trying not to laugh.

"Well, why don't you find out!" And with that, Lockhart opened the cage door releasing twenty Cornish Pixies upon the class. Everyone got up screaming and shouting trying to cover themselves with their bags as the pixies flew about, throwing things across the room and grabbing some of the girls' loose hair. "Come now, it's not that bad. Peskie Pixitronomus-" Lockhart tried to cast a spell but it didn't work. By now most of the class had disappeared out into the hall. Lockhart ran towards the stairs to his office and at the door looked down to see who was left then said, "I'll just leave it to you to catch them, shall I?" And disappeared into his office.

Ron, Yusuke and Harry were batting at the pixies with copies of Lockhart's books. Alex, Kurama and Hermione all pulled out their wands and shouted, "Immobulus!" The pixies froze right where they were.

"Brilliant." Ron muttered.

"Lockhart's off his rocker." Alex said later that night, while everyone was at dinner. She was with Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke and Kuwabara in a clearing on the grounds Dumbledore had enchanted for them to use as their training grounds. Nobody could see them if they were there in broad daylight.

"You're telling me." Kuwabara replied. "He had everyone in the class take a quiz all about him."

"That's better than releasing a bunch of Conrnish Pixies on the class without telling them how to stop them." Alex said taking a bite of a piece of orange that she had taken from the dinner table. "The man has no clue to what he's doing!" She shook her head, then looked at Hiei. "So how'd you get away from Malfoy?"

Hiei glared at her. "I had to pretend to be sick." He made a sound of disgust. "I cannot believe I've sunk so low."

"Aw, poor Hiei." She cooed teasingly.

"I've been meaning to ask you Hiei," Kurama stopped the demon from attacking Alex. "What's been going on with Draco as of late? He's had a strange obssesion with Alex."

"How so, Kurama?" Yusuke asked.

"Take the train ride, for example. He helped Alex in her search for Harry and Ron-"

"So you noticed." Alex mumbled.

"I couldn't say." Hiei said. "He shrugs it off everytime I ask. Gets a little annoyed, is more like it."

"So you lied on the train Hiei?" Alex said. Hiei smirked.

"Interesting." Kurama said, delving into his thoughts. Alex had a sudden revelation.

"You don't think he knows about me, do you?"

"Impossible." Kurama said.

"How so?" Kuwabara asked.

"There are a limited amount of people that know about us. Besides, if he did know, he most likely would have told his father, who would have told the Minister of Magic. And then-"

"The entire Ministry would be after us. Of course."

"Maybe he's just got a crush on Alex." Kuwabara joked.

"Uh, ew." Alex stated blatently. Then she yawned. "Dinner must be over by now, and we haven't done any training. Let's just go back up to the castle. I have a ton of homework that needs to be done." They all trudged back up to the castle.

I aplogize for the shortness. I just wanted to get this chapter up and going. So what do you all think about Malfoy? Does he really know about Alex and the other? Or is it just a crush? Tell me your ideas! Thanks for reading and please review!!! ~Pices
