Chapter II: Jax of All Trades
Lex roamed around by herself in the humongous school looking for her two other cohorts. They couldn't have vanished in thin air! Surely all three of them are transported in the same place. But unlike before, this trip they took transported them separately. Now it's up to her to find out where her two friends landed.
She must have been roaming the enormous school for about an hour when she heard a certain commotion coming from one of the classrooms and quickly headed that way. If her sudden appearance at a very weird class earlier is anything to go by, she's sure that wherever Jax and Hex appeared they would also create the same commotion she obviously stirred earlier.
True enough she found one of her two numbskull cohorts standing in front of the class demonstrating what Lex could only guess as one of his numerous karate moves.
"Now, for you ladies in the room, when being attacked from behind by some masked intruder or whatever, here's a simple and yet very effective trick you could do to your opponent." Jackson 'Jax' Keating demonstrated another technique for the ladies to use to defend themselves against unwanted advances from leering men.
Lex raised an eyebrow and lounged against the dungeon doors, watching one of her two best friends make a fool of himself (or not) in front of a class of at least a dozen kids. Once his demonstration was done, Lex clapped her hands in appreciation, drawing the attention of all the students--including their teacher--towards her. A quick sweep of the place told Lex that most of the faces in this class were from the same class she interrupted earlier.
Great, just my luck. she thought to herself. Keeping up a straight face and crossed the space separating her from the front of the class.
"Hi guys!" she greeted cheerily to her onlookers before hooking her arm around Jax's and pulled him out of there. "Mind if I pull my friend outta this class? I think your teacher doesn't appreciate being interrupted either." she cast an apologetic smile over her shoulder at the man dressed all in black who was smirking at her and Jax. "I do apologize for this intrusion, kind sir, but you see we're lost and I don't know what just got in to my friend's head here, but I'll take him away from this class right now and let you continue educating this group of fine, talented young kiddies with whatever class this is that my numbskull of a friend has interrupted."
"You both are interrupting my Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Professor Severus Snape lifted an eyebrow at the two strangers dressed in Muggle clothing, standing right in front of his class consisting of Gryffindor students, to his utter disappointment.
"Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Lex echoed.
"Yeah, Lexie." Jax grinned down at her, "I asked their teacher what class I am disrupting and he was kind enough to tell me, that's why I'm teaching them some of my good martial arts moves." he added proudly.
Somehow Jax, I don't think that's what this Defense Against Dark Arts class is about. she relayed to her best friend telepathically.
Jax frowned and asked, What are you talking about?
Shut up for now and I'll tell you later. she then turned her attention back to the teacher and smiled, "Well, I think whatever Jax here has taught your students isn't really what this class is about, huh?"
Professor Snape lifted an eyebrow, "You're a smart young lady. Unlike your friend here who didn't seem to catch-on real quickly." he mocked, eyeing Jax carefully.
Well I didn't know what the hell he's teaching! I just crash-landed on top of his desk, my butt bruised, and the next thing I knew he was breathing down my back! Jax told his best friend, his chin jutted high in the air and his shoulders squared.
Oooh, he's so dreamy! Majority of the female students in the room cooed mentally.
Lex quickly looked at the class and saw the girls looking dreamily at Jax. She couldn't really blame them for crushing on Jax Keating. He's a fine male specimen with short dark brown hair and puppy brown eyes that can just melt your heart. Not to mention that he stands six foot three to boot! She can't wait for them to see her other friend, Hex. She's sure they would be drooling all over him too!
She turned her attention back to the angry teacher and apologized one more time before dragging her friend reluctantly out of the room. At least a dozen pairs of eyes followed them to the door. She smile apologetically to them all, waving shyly before bolting out of there with Jax trailing behind her.
Once they were away from the classroom Lex latched on to her friend.
"Where in the blasted world did you take us now, Jackson Keating? I have a bruised tush this time thanks to your marvelous plan of just zapping us somewhere!" she yelled at him as soon as they were at the courtyard, "And one more thing, why are you demonstrating martial arts techniques to those kids in there?"
"Hey, they obviously need to know self-defense if they're taking that Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Jax shrugged.
Lex made a face at him, "Jackson, I don't think that showing them some of your martial arts moves will help them in that class. I mean, haven't you been paying attention to what that class is?"
"Defense Against the Dark Arts." Jax answered.
"Exactly!" Lex snapped her fingers right in front of her friend's nose, "Dark Arts being the operative words here, my dear friend." she patted his shoulder and urged him to walk on, "Where have we heard that term used before, hm?" she questioned.
Jax stopped walking and thought deeply, trying his best to remember when and where he last heard the term 'dark arts' before.
"I honestly can't remember, Lex." he gave up after five minutes have passed and he still couldn't remember.
"Arrr!" Lex nearly pulled her hairs out when her clueless friend still couldn't remember. "Gosh Jackson, I can't believe you passed Master's tests if you can't remember that 'dark arts' is another term for 'black magic.'"
"What?!" Jax's jaw nearly fell. "You mean I just made myself look like a complete fool in front of that class by showing them martial arts self defense when that class is basically about defending themselves against black magic?!"
Lex chuckled and shook her mop of burgundy head. She linked her arm with her friend's and they resumed walking to wherever this hallway might lead them to.
"Come to think of it, you look good as a teacher and most of the female students in that class thinks you're a hunk." she teased.
"Shuddup." Jax mumbled sourly.
Lex threw her head backwards and her melodious laughter drifted off down the hall and in to the open classrooms, catching the attention of every occupant of the room. Unbeknownst to the two friends, a few heads popped out of the classroom doorways which they passed that heard Lex's laughter (most of them the male students) and just ogled at the girl with short, red hair walking down the hallway with her arm linked with the tall, dark haired guy's arm.

~*~ okay, i think i've got some explaining to do here just so none of you guys would be confused. you might have noticed that Jax & Lex talked to each other telepathically, well that's because that's one of their "gifts" (one of the many more "gifts" which will be unleashed in succeeding chapters--provided i get enough inspiration to continue writing) that enables them to carry on a conversation without letting other people know what they are talking about. and Lex mentioned "Master" in this chapter. who is the master? who is Jax and Lex? well just wait and see for the next chapter to find out more about what's going on...i think in the next chappie you'll be meeting Lex's other best bud--Hex. ~*~
