Here's Chapter 3 for you! Please please please review! I need reviews!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. I do however own Lexis. She is mine!
Lexis was getting ready for bed that night, reflecting on Dumbledore's speech. It had all the regular welcomes but more rules than normal. Now students needed to be in 3rd year to go to Hogsmeade and we weren't allowed leaving the castle alone or after dark. Dumbledore also talked of Lord Voldomort. Of course when he had said his name there was an intake of breath from everyone.
Everyone had heard rumors of what he was capable of doing. There we also rumors of who were planning to join his ranks when they left Hogwarts. Lucius Malfoy had apparently gotten his Darkmark and he had only graduated 2 years ago. Then there were people like Snape, Avery and Mulciber who were rumored to have met with the Dark Lord in hopes of one day joining him. Hearing these things frightened Lexis for Lily. Lily and Snape used to be friends until 5th year. What had happened in a nutshell was Lily stuck up for Severus and he called her mudblood. Lily hated being judged because of her birth and Severus knew this. So when Snape had tried to apologize Lily didn't forgive him. What worried Lexis was when she saw Snape looking at Lily with a hunger in his eyes. She did not trust Snape and never left Lily alone with him if she could help it. Basically Snape was the exact opposite to James in Lexi's eyes.
Lexis herd a creak on the stairs. She whipped her head around to look at the door and pulled out her wand.
"Hello?"
"Hello love." Said Sirius Black stepping out of the shadows. "I didn't scare you did I?"
"Black? How the hell did you get up here?" She asked furiously.
"Oh come now love, you know I couldn't be a Marauder without knowing how to get everywhere in the castle." Sirius lectured.
"But the stairs! They turn in to a ramp! It's impossible." Sputtered Alexis.
"Love, you really need to learn nothings impossible for me." Sirius bragged.
"It's impossible for you to be a gentleman, with manners and edict."
"Now Alexis," Sirius said in a hurt tone, "you know that's not true. You've seen how well I can behave at those 'exclusive pureblood' parties the Malfoy throw every year."
"You don't behave! You're just sneakier about what you do! I saw Lucius 'fall' into the punch last year!"
"That was funny. You hate him as much I do anyway!"
"That is completely beside the point. Although his hair did look ridicules for the rest of the night."
"It did didn't it?" Sirius smiled at the memory.
"Remember when Bellatrix got drunk?" Lexis asked gleefully.
"Yes! I never thought I would here her sing a muggle song." Smirked Sirius
"I know! I never thought I'd see her drunk!" laughed Lexi.
"Sirius?" They herd James' voice from the common room, "Where the hell did he go? If he's snogging a 3rd year again I'm gonna kill him!"
"You snogged a 3rd year?"
"Jealous?" Sirius teased.
"Course not!" Lexis said indignantly.
"Whatever you say love. I better go down there and make sure james doent go into hystarics like last time."
"Like last time?..." Lexis started to ask but Sirius merely winked and walked out of the room leaving Lexis baffled.
"Lily, we haven't even started classes put that book away." Alice ordered frustrated.
"Oh fine, I hate history of magic anyway." Lily relented closing her book.
"I don't understand why you're taking it this year Lils." Lexis mused.
"It could come in useful!" Lily defended.
"No it really couldn't" Alice laughed rolling her eyes. The three friends were sitting in their dorm talking about nothing and everything when they saw an owl tapping at the window.
"That's Damian's owl isn't it Lexis?" Alice asked as she got up to open the window.
"Yeah I think so. What does he want? It's been 13 hours and he's already nagging me? What did I do now? Talk to too many blood tratiors?" Lexis family hated blood traitors more than muggle-borns. To them blood traitors chose to associate with muggle- borns which was worse than actually being a muggle-born, for some reason. Lexis' parents didn't know about Lily. If they did she would be branded with "blood traitor" and disowned. Lexis didn't care about being a blood traitor but being disowned would be humiliating, if she left her family she wanted it to be her choice and however much she hated being around them she loved her family deep deep deep down.
Alice handed Lexis the letter and sent Damian's owl back out the window.
Lexis,
I saw you talking to Sirius Black on the train and I would like to remind you that mom and dad forbid us from associating with blood traitors. I'm therefore assuming you don't know that Sirius Black is a blood traitor. He was disowned this summer and kicked out. I won't tell on you this time but if I see you with Black again I will. Then you'll be disowned and maybe I'll get your bedroom. I've been nice about Lily but I won't tolerate Black.
Damian
"Oh I do love him. Always so caring and concerned about his baby sister." Lexis raged, "Merlin! He can't stay out of my life! Even at 17 he's a tattle tale!" Lexis groaned. Her and Damian were almost identical. They had the same hair and face structure, the only way they were different in the looks department was their eyes. While Lexis had deep blue eyes Damian had black eyes.
"Lexis maybe we shouldn't hang out for a while." Lily said quietly.
"No way! You're my best friend! I'm not worried about what Damian can do. So what if I have a muggle-born friend! He's not gonna tell. He hasn't yet."
"Okay" Lily said looking relived and happier. "I wonder what Sirius did to get disowned."
"I'm not sure," Lexis murmured. "It's been coming for a while though, he never got along with his family, especially his mom. He really hates her." It was silent for a while before Alice said:
"I'm tired and tomorrow the first day, I'm going to bed."
"Yeah me to. Good night lovelies, I'll see you in the morning" Lexis agreed, suddenly feeling very tired.
Sorry it was short. I'll hopefully post chapter 4 tomorrow. (please review!)
