*Alex's POV*
I woke up in the Hospital Wing and both of my hands were occupied. I slightly opened my eyes to see Severus holding one hand and Lily holding the other. They were both asleep. I wonder what time it is.. I looked at a clock and it read 5:46 AM. Wonderful. I sat up trying not to wake up my only friends that were clutching my hands like I was dying. I looked up and saw another person asleep. Remus Lupin, the Marauder who had saved me from Lucius and Bellatrix. I must thank him. I silently squeezed Lily and Severus' hands. Their eyes quickly fluttered open, "MADAM POMFREY!" Severus yelled. "Thanks, Sev, now I have a headache too!" Severus looked at my sheepishly, "Sorry Al.." Madam Pomfrey, the new healer at school, burst in the room. She tended to my wounds and as she did so, Remus woke up, I immediately began thanking him profusely to which he replied, "Oh, you're welcome Alex." Lily looked at Remus sceptically, "What exactly did you save her from, Lupin?" He looked at me for my permission to tell what had happened, to which I nodded, "Well I was heading back to the Common Room from the Library, taking the secret passageway. I was nearly there when I heard somebody yelling 'Stupefy,' and I ran as fast as I could to where it was coming from. I saw Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Black casting spells on Alex. She had been stupefied once and was about to be again when I yelled for them to stop. I helped her here and I guess someone told you guys something because you showed up about 10 minutes after we did."
After Remus told them that Severus growled, "Lucius Malfoy, and Bellatrix Black?!" Lily freaked, "I'm gonna kill them!" I shook my head, "Please don't. They don't deserve that!" Madam Pomfrey entered the conversation, "I will see to it that Ms. Black and Mr. Malfoy have a month or two of detention and that they won't bother you again, Ms. Snape." I sighed, "May I go?" She nodded, "Yes dear. But, Ms. Snape, if your nose or leg begins to hurt come straight here." "Yes ma'am." I got up and Severus hugged me, "Are you okay, Alex?" "I'm fine!" "Well, come get me if you need me lil sis. Oh. And thanks, Lupin." Lily hugged me as well, "I need to study.. Bye Alex! Come get me if you need me." "Bye Lils!" I replied and me and Remus walked to the Common Room, him saying the password.
"I think we could be good friends, Alex." Remus said as we entered the Gryffindor Common Room, "Me too!" I replied. He started going up the stairs to the boys dorms, "Would you like to meet my other friends?" "Sure!" He led me the rest of the way up and took me into what I presumed was his dorm. There were 3 guys in there playing Wizard Chess. Well, two were playing and one was watching. One of the guys with long black hair eyed me up and down, "Remus! Who's the chick?" I rolled my eyes as the one with glasses spoke, "Is she your girlfriend?" He asked as he wiggled his eyebrows. Remus just shook his head, "No, she's Alexandria-" "And you can call me Alex." I stepped in. This guy that looked oddly similar to a rat looked at me and Remus, "Why'd you bring her here?" "Because she's cool and I thought you guys would like her." Remus replied.
The guy with long black hair looked at me, "Hi, love. I'm Sirius Black." Then the guy that wore glasses introduced himself, "James Potter." Finally, rat boy introduced himself, "P-Peter Pettigrew." I smiled, "Nice to meet you! I'm Alexandria Snape." Suddenly the three boys' eyes darkened... I wonder why. It disappeared when I asked a question, "Do you guys prank?" "YES!" James exclaimed. I smirked, "Did you ever get blamed for ones you didn't do?" Sirius nodded and James laughed, "Like the red and gold glitter on the Slytherins? That was genius!" Remus grinned, "Or, the cupcakes with polyjuice potion filling that turned Crabbe and Goyle into girls?! Awesome!" Peter jumped in as well, "W-What about the one with Lucius and bright pink hair? Perfect!" Sirius shook his head, "But the best one was putting love potion in Slughorn's pumpkin juice, making him follow Malfoy around like a lovesick puppy!" I smirked, "Well, that was all me, boys." "WOAH!" James yelled. "They're starting to like you," Remus whispered. "We love you! That's epic!" Sirius yelled, causing me to laugh, "Thanks!" James smirked, "I have an idea?" I raised my eyebrows questioningly. "TRUTH OR DARE!" He grinned. "Yes!" I yelled.
