Today is Monday October 10th 2011. Today is my Thanksgiving dinner and I have to go to Marsville which is on Mars! *rolls eyes* It's really outside of Orangeville. Lol.

Anyway, 2 days ago on Saturday, I got my wrists tattooed!

Well, I'm busy today so I am going to type this chapter and if I can type another, I will.

Chapter 6

Last Time:

"Because you are mean to me" Alex answers as she looks at the fire.

"What about me?" Harry asks.

"Like I said you are 'whatever'" Alex stares at the fire feeling the warmth come off of it.

"You said that you like Hermione" Ron points out.

"She's nice to me; you're mean to me, Harry's ok" Alex stands up, "I'm going to bed. Leave me alone" Alex walks away and heads up to bed, "this is going to be a long year" Alex whispers to herself as she crawls into bed and closes her eyes.

Now:

The next day, Alex, Justin and Max are standing in front of Hagrid's hut. Alex knocks on the door as Hagrid smiles it after he opened the door.

"Come in" Hagrid smiles. Alex leads the way in and sits down on the armchair at the fire.

"How has your day been going Hagrid?" Alex asks Hagrid as the sun makes it to the highest peak… 12pm.

"It's been good. I was in the forest since 9am. I'm happy I sent you the letter at breakfast before I left" Alex nods.

"Ya or we would be waiting for you and wouldn't be able to do homework" Alex teases. Hagrid chuckles as he takes a seat and Max and Justin sits down on the couch across from Alex.

"I have a question for you Alex" Hagrid looks at Alex as she sighs.

"Is it about the goblet?"

"Yes"

"I didn't put my name in" Hagrid nods.

"I know that. But do you know our spells to help you in the tournament?"

"No, but Hermione Granger said she will help me and Justin" Hagrid nods with a smile.

"If I find out what one of the tasks is, I will tell you ok?" Alex nods.

"Ok. Will you also tell Justin?"

"Yes" Justin smiles at Alex knowing she will be helping him out so he will help her in return.

"Ok" Alex smiles and Justin, Max and her tells Hagrid about all of their adventures. Like the Stone of Dreams, when Alex was dating Ronald Longcape Jr, Doctor Evilini, etc.

~H&A~

Harry, Ron and Hermione are walking to Hagrid's hut to hear Alex's voice.

"And mom and dad remembered us, and I gave up being a full wizard to have my family back" Alex finishes.

"Now we still have the wizard competition to go against each other to keep your powers and to be a full wizard. The downside is the other siblings will lose their powers" Justin explains.

"But will you guys still have to compete now that you guys are here at Hogwarts?" Hagrid asks.

"We don't know" Alex, Justin and Max answers having no idea. Harry, Ron and Hermione listen in on the conversation shocked. They had no idea how American magic works or what the family has to go through.

"Is your dad looking in on this?" Hagrid asks once again.

"Ya, he is seeing if he can qualify us as England wizards to get out of the wizard competition and so we all will keep our powers" Justin says once again.

"We all are hoping it will work" Alex points out.

"So we may keep our powers?" Max asks.

"Maybe" Alex answers. Hermione sighs and walks up to the door and knocks. Harry and Ron run up behind her and hear footsteps. As the door opens they see its Alex, "hi"

"Hey" Hermione smiles.

"Would you like to see Hagrid?" Alex asks Hermione.

"Yes please" Alex nods and Hagrid walks outside, closing the door.

"What may I do for you?" Hagrid asks the golden trio.

"We were wondering if you have any idea when the first task is." Hagrid shakes his head.

"No. I do know it's coming up but that's it" Hermione nods and looks at Harry.

"We better start practicing" Hermione turns to Hagrid and smiles, "Hagrid, if you could, could you ask Alex if she can meet up with me at the library after dinner?"

"I will pass on the message" Hagrid smiles and goes back into his hut. Harry and Ron starts to walks back to the castle with Hermione following.

~H&A~

The day of the first task has arrived 2 months later. It is November 23rd, and Alex and Hermione have grown fond of each other greatly. You could say that the two of them are hard to find without each other. Alex and Justin are wearing their uniforms, which is red, gold, black and purple pants and t-shirts. Alex slips her hair into a ponytail and slips her purple and black converse on. All the champions are in a tent outside of the arena.

"So remember what Hermione was teaching us" Justin whispers to Alex.

"Ok" Alex nods feeling her nerves kicking in overdrive, "are mom and dad out there with Max?"

"Yes" Justin smiles seeing Alex's smile. Just then the cannon go off. Alex remembers that the order of people goes: Krum, Fleur, Justin, Cedric, Harry then Alex. Oldest to youngest. Krum walks out of the tent first as Alex sits down on the bed holding her head. Justin rubs her back as the wait begins.

15 minutes later, it is only down to Harry and Alex waiting in the tent since Cedric just walked out, not even 2 seconds ago.

"How are you doing?" Harry asks Alex. Alex looks at Harry who is standing in front of her nervously.

"I'm ok. What about you?" Alex asks in return.

"Nervous" Harry answers honestly. Alex smiles and pats the bed.

"Sit" Harry smiles and sits down next to her, "so what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to Accio my broom and get the egg. What about you?"

"Put the dragon in a book" Alex smirks and starts to look excited. Harry chuckles and nods.

"I had no idea you could do that"

"American magic is very amusing" Alex sticks out her tongue and right then they hear Dumbledore speak.

"Cedric Diggory has successfully got the egg. Now is time for our 14 year old champion… Harry Potter" Dumbledore tell them. Harry stands up and looks at Alex.

"Good luck Harry. You will do great. Oh, and ignore that idiot Rita person" Alex tells Harry. Harry smiles and hugs Alex.

"Once this is over, you are going to be on my list of friends" Alex rolls her eyes with a smile.

"You are on my friends list too with Hermione. As for the red head, if he grows up, then yes he will too" Harry laughs and kisses Alex's cheek before walking out. Alex's hand makes its way to her cheek that Harry kissed, as she blushes.

Time passes slowly as Alex is pacing. Alex looks to the ground and sees a beetle.

"Is there even beetles in Hogwarts?" Alex whispers to herself. Alex picks it up to see glasses on it. Alex smirks and makes a jar form. She puts the beetle in it and shrinks it, "now I know how Rita gets mine, Justin's, Harry's and the other champion's secrets." Alex puts the jar in her pocket as Dumbledore starts to talk.

"Harry Potter has got the egg. Now it's time for the final champion, who is an American and is 14… Alex Russo" Alex walks out and looks around. She has her Wiztech wand out and sees the dragon. The dragon spits fire and she jumps out of the way. She hides behind a rock and feels the rock increase in heat. Alex stands up in time to see the dragon bite the rock. Alex takes off running, accidently dropping her wand. The dragon takes a swipe with its claws, scratching Alex's arm. Alex jumps into a hole knowing the dragon can't get her there. Alex crawls through the tunnel, which is underneath the dragon. Alex puts her right hand in her right boot shoe to find no wand.

"Crap" Alex whispers as she lies on her back. She puts her left hand in her left shoe to find her Hogwarts wand. Just then Alex sees the dragon claw at the little hole above her, where she was looking at. Rocks start to fall and Alex covers her head as she crawls further away. Alex keeps moving as she finds another hole above her. She lies back down and waits for the dragon to arrive there, "what spell?" Alex whispers to herself. Just then, Alex sees the dragon arrive to the hole. She puts the tip of her wand in the hole and whispers the spell, "Confundo" Alex watches as the dragon starts to lose its balance. Alex crawls to the end of the tunnel and crawls out. She stands up and sees she is right beside the egg. She grabs the egg as she starts to feel dizzy from her bleeding arm.

"Alex Russo has successfully gotten the egg" Dumbledore tells the crowd as the dragon spits fire at Alex as she collapses.

~H&A~

5 hours later, Alex awakes to see Theresa, Jerry, Justin and Max standing around her.

"What place did I come in?" Alex asks them with a smile.

"Second" Jerry answers.

"Who came in first?"

"Justin" Theresa answers. Max stands to do a happy dance around the bed and Alex rolls her eyes. She looks to her right to see Harry laying on the bed with Hermione and Ron talking to him. Alex smiles at Harry, who looked at her.

"Great work" Harry whispers.

"Thanks. You too" Harry nods and closes his eyes.

"I came in first, then you, Krum, Fleur, Cedric and Harry" Justin tells Alex. Alex rolls her eyes and sighs.

"How's my wand?" Justin chuckles and hands Alex her Wiztech wand and her Hogwarts. Alex puts her Hogwarts one beside her and starts to clean the ash and dust off her Wiztech one, "this wand is my baby" Alex kisses the tip of it and waves it, making colours come from the tip. Alex sees Hermione, Ron and Harry watch in amazement as Justin and Max dance around and Theresa and Jerry shakes their heads.

"We have to go now honey. We will be back for your second task" Theresa tells Alex. Alex nods and hugs her parents. Alex flashes them home and stands to do the colours again.

"See you tomorrow" Max and Justin tells Alex 5 minutes later.

"Can I leave?" Alex asks.

"No" Justin quickly leaves before Alex could throw a fit. Hermione and Ron left Harry 4 minutes before.

"Yay, we are stuck together for the night" Harry claps his hands. Alex looks at him and sighs.

"I hate hospitals" Harry chuckles and nods.

"Me too" Alex nods and pulls out the shrunken jar.

"Look who I caught" Alex grows the jar and makes Rita turn back to her normal self, "she changes into a beetle to get our secrets" Alex ties Rita up and makes her sit on the floor.

"Why you little witch" Rita snaps. Alex rolls her eyes and sighs.

"I'm an American wizard. Get it straight" Alex looks at Harry, "what should we do with her?" Harry looks at Rita and sighs.

"Let's leave her in the jar until Hermione comes tomorrow morning" Harry offers. Alex nods and makes Rita shrink to fit into the jar. After Alex puts Rita into the jar, she slips the jar into her pocket.

~H&A~

The next morning, Alex and Harry are released from the hospital wing with their injuries fully healed. Alex and Harry walks into the great hall holding hands, which both of them haven't taken a notice to. Alex and Harry see their friends/brothers sitting at the table eating, with their backs to the doors. Alex and Harry smiles at each other and jumps on their friend's backs. Alex ended up tackling Justin and Max as Harry tackled Hermione and Ron.

"Alex! Harry!" the four friends shout and hug them tightly. After the task, Ron have gotten over Alex's rep and accepted her as a friend, and Alex has accepted Ron as a friend just 5 minutes ago.

"Are you hungry?" Hermione asks the two. Harry and Alex nods and sits down between Justin and Hermione, but side by side. Alex and Harry quickly begin to eat but they have to go to Potions.

~H&A~

After school that day, and after dinner, Alex, Ron, Harry, Justin and Max are sitting in the library trying to figure out the egg.

"What are we going to do? The task is in January, directly after the Christmas holidays" Alex asks, slightly nervous.

"Alex" Hermione rests her hands on Alex's shoulders trying to calm her, "we will figure this out" Alex nods taking deep breaths.

They will solve this clue if it's the last thing they do.

And that's the chapter. What do you think? Oh and for those of you who have thanksgiving today. Happy thanksgiving! Please review.
