You and me
Chapter 2
Thorne, Christian, Alexia and Charlie were sat at the Griffindor table the next morning waiting for Professor McGonagall to make her way through the pile of second and third years wanting their timetables and get to them. When she finally did she looked as harassed as they had ever seen her.
"Right, who is first?" she asked briskly, "Mr Stone, how about you?" Before Throne could reply she took a blank timetable and tapped it with her wand and it filled with black ink writing, she handed it over and asked if it was alright, he nodded happily. She turned to Christian next and then to Charlie before finally addressing Alexia.
"Miss Davenport, your timetable is already sorted out, it is currently with Professor Davenport, he wanted to look at it so I did it early." She said, "Your first lesson is with him anyway," she finished looking at each of them in turn.
Alexia looked at the three boys around her and put her arms around Charlie and Christian who were the nearest smiling and led them out in the direction of the Defense against the Dark arts corridor.
"Well, lets go see my daddy then, there has to be some perks to having him working here." She announced grandly gliding through the swarms of first and second years who were trying to find their classes for the morning.
They approached professor Davenport's classroom and Alexia walked in without knocking, not something she did lightly, the boys followed her uneasily and Thorne actually knocked before entering. Professor Davenport came out of the back room and beamed at Alexia and then the rest of them.
"I suppose you've come for this," he smiled holding up a timetable size piece of paper. Professor Davenport was a nice man, He had black slightly greying hair and the same warm violet eyes as Alexia that filled with the emotion he felt. He didn't have her high cheekbones or creamy skin, he was slightly tanned and slightly red in the face and was tall with a bit of a stomach. "Take a seat all of you, you're a bit early but you can stay here until the lesson starts, Lexie can I have a word?"
"Of course Daddy." She said pleasantly and skipped over to his desk where he was sat. When she got there he smile warmly at her, it was easy to see where she got her honey glazed smile from.
"Lexie, I want you to know I am not here to embarrass you, I am here to teach Defense against the Dark arts. I will try not to embarrass you but there's no promises." He said winking at her and she laughed and started to turn around to the others, "and Lex, you cannot call me dad or daddy in class, it has to be professor Davenport, alright honey?"
"Yes daddy, I mean professor Davenport." She said turning away.
When the bell finally went the five of them were engaged in a conversation about the Quidditch season, even Thorne. Professor Davenport was sat on his desk and Alexia was sat at the desk closest, everyone was sat on the front row so when the other students started to come drift in they had to sit further back, even the nerds. When everyone had come in professor Davenport stood up and cleared his throat, everyone fell silent you could have heard a pin drop, everyone wanted to see what the new teacher was like.
"Good morning class, I am professor Davenport." He said with a flourish smiling, "I will teaching you for your N.E.W.T year."
The class looked impressed at the teacher, he was not what they ad been expecting, of course Alexia had known how good he would be but for the first hour of the double lesson he showed them new defense spells and learnt their names.
"Unfortunately we cannot just look a defensive magic all day, I am afraid we have to do some writing up this lesson." Professor Davenport sighed, he seemed to enjoy casting the spells as the students had watching them. He set them off on some written work and told them they were allowed to talk. Charlie, Christian and Thorne smiled at each other secretly and when Alexia shot them confused looks the just shrugged their shoulders. She balled up a piece of paper with her elegant script on it.
Charlie,
What are you planning?
She enchanted it with a wordless spell and it flew like a curve ball and hit Charlie on the shoulder repeatedly until he picked it up and read it. She saw a smile pick up at the corners of his mouth. He scribbled a reply and was just about to enchant it to fly back to Alexia when Professor Davenport turned around an saw it on the desk.
"What have you go there Charlie?" He asked picking it up and reading it. His face stiffened and the whole class turned to look at what was going on.
"Miss Davenport, I believe this is your handwriting, you should not be passing notes in class. Especially ones with this type of content." Her father said very stiffly, immediately dropping the cool teacher thing and replacing it with the disapproving father thing.
"I don't know what you're talking about Professor" she ventured bravely, swallowing,
"I am speaking of the note that Mr Weasley has in front of him that is written originally in your handwriting and answered in his, Miss Davenport, the one containing private information about him and yourself, Miss Davenport." His voice rose above it's normal level and filled with menace, it brought tears to Alexia's eyes.
"I only wanted to know what Thorne Christian and Charlie were whispering about." Her voice quivered as she stumbled over the words. Her father's face softened, he never could stand to see his little girl crying he looked as if he was about to reply but she carried on.
"I haven't even got the reply, I don't know what it says" she whispered, hiccuping.
Professor Davenport looked torn over having to watch his baby cry and having to be the teacher and sort out the situation. He seemed to find a compromise.
"Fine, Miss Davenport just remember not to pass notes in my class." He finished sternly and she nodded. For the rest of the lesson she kept her head down and wrote without stopping and when the bell went she packed up slowly trying to make the red rings around her eyes calm down.
"Alexia, could you stay behind for a moment please?" Professor Davenport said quietly from his desk, she nodded miserably.
The last students out closed the door behind them and Alexia remained at her desk on the front row. She was looking at her hands.
"Alexia" he said softly, "Lexie, listen to me, I didn't mean to upset you sweetheart or embarrass you. I just reacted badly to the note that's all, it's hard you know, teaching you and trying to act as your teacher rather than your father."
"I know daddy, can I read the reply?" She asked shyly, he nodded and handed her the screwed up piece of paper. It read:
Charlie,
What are you planning?
Lexie,
My plan has two stages two stages, unfortunately you can't know the first stage but ends in the same way as all of my plans. Stage two: Me and you ;) together forever xxx
He had draw a cartoon of them kissing and enchanted it to move, she was going to kill him.
"Thanks daddy" she said and she kissed him on the cheek before leaving, the note still in her hands, the others were waiting for her on the staircase that led the way up to Griffindor common room, she kept walking and they got up to follow her, Professor Davenport hadn't given them any homework so the free period they had next could be used for leisure. When they got to the common room Thorne scared a third year out of his chair and both Chris and Charlie followed suit. As soon as Charlie turned his back Alexia jinxed him, before he knew what had happened he was hanging upside down by his ankle.
"Lexie, what the hell?" He shouted waving his arms around like a mad man. She just turned her back him and walked up to the girls dormitory and flopped down on her bed and regretted what she had just done. She must have fallen asleep then because she didn't remember anything up until there was a loud thud from the stairs that led back into the common room and a lot of giggling from some second years that had been about to go down them.
"What are you laughing at?" she said irritably and slightly groggily to one of them.
"That boy tried to get up here!" They laughed and pointed at a pile of clothes at the bottom of the stairs. The pile of clothes got up and shook itself off cursing under it's breath and stood up facing the stairs.
"Lexie!" The figure shouted "please come down."
"Why don't you come up here?" she asked laughing a little and coming to sit at the top of the ramp. Inconveniently blocking the way for anyone else who wanted to get up or down to the dormitory.
"Uh, I tried to and ended up looking like a laundry pile at the bottom of your stairs" he said, "I don't blame you for hexing me."
Lexie's red-ringed eyes focussed on Charlie who was still stood at the bottom of the ramp, he sighed and judged the size of the ramp. Charlie muttered something inaudible and ran UP the ramp to sit next to Lexie, she just raised her eyebrows and shook her head.
"This is much more private you know those first years are tiny and they didn't half get a shock when I nearly landed on them but seriously I was just joking around, I didn't mean for your father to read the note."
"I don't think it was the note that bothered him, I think it was the heavenly image of his daughter snogging the face off the boy he thought he could trust." Lexie finished with a slightly harassed look directed towards Charlie.
"I'm sorry Lex" he said again.
"And I'm sorry for hexing you, I sorted it out with my dad anyway and he's not angry anymore, he realised we were just joking around about going out."
Charlie agreed with her but there was an uncharacteristic look of pain in his eyes, Lexie noticed it too but didn't comment.
"We good?" Charlie asked cautiously
"Yeah, we're good" she replied, and added with a sideways look at Charlie "darling" and laughed sliding down the ramp and coming to a halt at the entrance to Gryffindor common room. She turned to look back up and saw Charlie sliding towards her and didn't quite manage to move out of the way quick enough to avoid being squashed by him. He pushed her out of the way as he got to the bottom but it didn't work very well either and they ended up being a bigger laundry pile than Charlie had been before. Thorne and Chris noticed them and laughed.
"This is cosy isn't it?" Came the sly voice of Andrew Carson, the only Gryffindor Charlie, Lexie, Christian and Thorne hated. They hated him with nearly as much passion as they hated the Slytherins. He looked very satisfied with himself which could not be good for any of them, Christian – completely ignoring him – looked at the human laundry pile and smiled.
"It's about to get a whole lot cosier, make room!" He demanded and he grabbed Throne by the wrist and dragged him over to where they both jumped on top of Charlie and Lexie.
"Where'd Lex go?" Thorne asked because she had disappeared from view.
"Get off of me!" Came a shout from underneath them, with all of the chaos that Christian and Throne joining their laundry pile had caused they had piled on top of Alexia without even noticing. They scrambled off of her and took their usual seats in front of the large fire that dominated one wall of the room, laughing off the earlier argument.
