Hello! I finally got some reviews, thanks, and so here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

"Oh, please," Malfoy stood up, trying to recover from the shock. "Let's settle this in a real fight." He pointed his wand at me. I burst out laughing.

"That's your definition of a real fight? Pointing sticks at each other and making them light up? You're more of a coward than I thought." He scowled and started shooting spells at me. I dodged them easily. Running up into a tree, I waited a moment, and then jumping down behind him, I plucked his wand out of his hand.

"I win. Now get out of my sight before I'm forced to tear your balls off. Oh and here's your wand back," I smirked as he paled. He grabbed his wand from me and took off running.

"Not bad," A soft voice said behind me. I turned and frowned at the dark haired boy behind me.

"You weren't supposed to come out until I told you." I said, shaking my head disapprovingly. Alex just laughed and pulled me close to him.

"Even if I got to watch you beat up that jerk who tries to terrorize the school?" He asked, his eyes wide. I playfully punched him in the arm.

"Oh stop it you. We still need to introduce you to the school, come on." I grabbed his hand and began pulling him towards the school.

"Slow down, don't you want to relax a bit before you're bombarded by -" He was cut off by Ron charging down the path, Harry and Ginny in tow.

"I thought you said she was here." Ron didn't even bother to lower his voice. I rolled my eyes and started walking away.

"That is her, stupid," Ginny yelled as she pushed Ron towards me. Harry just tilted his head quizzically at me. I cursed under my breath as I remembered knocking him out in the hallway. Oh well. It's not the end of the world. I thought to myself. I started walking away, then turned back to tell Alex to hurry up, when I noticed it. The Glow. It could tell you a lot about a person, depending on what color it was. There was a deep red flame around Harry. When someone started to Glow, something was seriously wrong.

I shook myself, and turned Alex around, giving him a chance to see the Glow. His eyes widened slightly and he nodded at me. Suddenly, I regretted knocking him out in the hallway. If he remembered it, I was dead.

Ginny was still yelling at Ron. I sighed, walked over and clamped a hand over her mouth.

"Calm down. We were just heading to the Great Hall, are you guys coming?" I asked my acting kicking in.

*Alex's POV*

Hermione never failed to amaze me, even in the direst of situations. She had truly phenomenal acting skills. The Glow around the black-haired guy surprised me. I hadn't expected it to be so easy. Then again, he could be underestimating us. I hoped he was. Hermione shrugged it off like nothing had happened, and we all walked up to the Great Hall. It was getting dark as we walked into Hogwarts. Time to put our plan in action.
