Catch Up
Being back in the Great Hall was like a breath of fresh air, and not just because the ceiling was enchanted to look like the sky, yet Alexa found herself racking her brain as to why she recognized the new professor, professor Lupin. Alexa was suddenly interrupted from her thoughts by a girl waving her hand in her face.
"Hello? Earth to Alexa!" said Sabrina.
"Sorry" Alexa apologized, shaking the new teacher from her mind.
"What's up with you?" The brunette asked.
Alexa shook her head and shrugged, "Nothing, I just zoned out" she said, trying to convince her friend.
Sabrina gave her an unconvinced look but shrugged it off, "Why does Blondie over there, keep trying to make eye contact with you?"
Alexa looked over to Malfoy who was a few seats down from her, he quickly turned away from her and engaged in conversation with Crabbe.
"Urgh...I haven't told you what happened this holiday yet, I completely forgot me and him were in the same house...and now he'll want to...associate with me...ew" Alexa said, while Sabrina looked confused.
"What happened between you two in the holiday? I didn't even know you were friends!" Sabrina said.
"I had to go stay with him and his family in the holidays, that's why I couldn't keep in contact with you...I don't have my own owl, do I?" Alexa whispered, not wanting to be heard by fellow slytherins.
"You stayed with the Malfoys!?!?" Sabrina said, raising her voice, shocked.
"Sshhh!! Yeah...we'll talk about it in the dorm." Alexa decided, digging back into her dinner.
"I can't believe you stayed with Malfoy...he's like the meanest slytherin." Sabrina said, taking a swig from her goblet.
Alexa laughed at how innocent Sabrina sounded, "Why were we put in this house?"
"No idea...well, I mean I probably belong here...I can be a complete bitch, but you?" wondered Sabrina.
"There's probably a reason, maybe I'll do something really evil when I'm older?" Alexa suggested, playfully.
"I wouldn't put it past you" Sabrina replied.
Alexa just rolled her eyes.
Later that evening, everyone had returned to their dormitories and Alexa had just finished telling Sabrina about the events that led up to her staying with the Malfoys.
"And they made you sleep in the old house elves room?" gasped Sabrina.
"Yup" Alexa replied, lying on her bed.
"Sound like something my dad would do, wait to you tell Emma and Millie, they'll go mental, especially Emma, she'll probably hex Malfoy into next week" Sabrina smirked.
"Ha, she so belongs in Slytherin." Alexa answered.
"Nah, she's not a pure blood" Sabrina replied.
That was the one thing that Alexa disliked about her best friend, like other Slytherins, she to had a thing about blood status, Sabrina didn't hold blood status against people, as one of her closest friends was a muggle born, but she did think herself a little bit better than anyone that wasn't pure blood.
"Blood status isn't everything, Rina" Alexa said.
"I know, but it is kinda important" Sabrina answered.
"I might not be pure blood you know, I don't know who my dad is" argued Alexa.
"I...sorry, Alexa, I didn't mean it like that. I just meant...I don't know what I meant" Sabrina winced.
"Forget it" replied Alexa, smiling lightly, "I may go to bed now"
"I may also go to bed now" Sabrina repeated, yawning.
"Good night"
"Good night"
The next morning Alexa's first lesson was Potions, Great, she thought. Even though she was in Slytherin, Professor Snape absolutely hated her; from her first year the teacher had taken an instant disliking to her and since then made her life hell. His latest dig at her was putting her back a year in potions so that she would now be taking third year potions again. Alexa wouldn't deny that she was bad at Potions, but making her take third year again was just cruel. But there was nothing she could do about it, except make his life a living hell, which could prove to be fun.
