i don't own this story and writing these depresses me...here's another chapter :)
Every class ended up to be about the teachers talked about how important the O.W.L.'s would be, and what they would be studying over the year. Then after every class Alex and/or James would be tormented by the same five guys.
At first they attempted to ignore it, but by the end of the last class of their second day Alex and James had it. The one who seemed to be in charge, Goyle's son Ben, had come up to them again. "Look it's the two losers and their lackeys."
The four guys behind him laughed. Alex was getting ready to respond but she was beaten to it by James, who acted first, "Are you kidding?" He laughed, "I'm the loser? I'm sorry but whose dad won and whose lost that big war? Did you forget the outcome already because I didn't."
They glared at him and next Alex spoke, "Besides Ben from what my dad had told me it wasn't my father who was the follower, or the stupid loser." Alex smiled a wicked smile, one that made you worry.
They all laughed as Ben and the four guys following him turned around to leave, but before they were out of sight Ben turned around and looked over his shoulder and said, "Watch your backs freaks."
Fred rolled his eyes. "Who do these idiots think that they are? Voldemort and the death eaters back in the flash?"
"Do they really think that we'll be scared of them at all?" Mike asked "Even if he's twice as smart as his dad we still have nothing to worry about."
They laughed again, "Yeah, well let's head to dinner now because I am officially starving." James said.
Everyone nodded before heading off to the dinning room where they could enjoy their dinner as long as they could avoid the Slytherine's table.
It wasn't much of a problem and after they were full they headed to the room earlier than everyone else. Every other person in the dinning hall continued to eat and probably assumed that they were tired or had homework to do, but that wasn't the case. They had left early because James had said he had something to show them, and it was really important.
As they entered Gryffindors common room Fred said, "This had better be really important James."
"It is. You know how I said I wanted to show you something dad gave me, but I hadn't gotten around to it? Well, this is what I was going to show you." James said as he rushed upstairs.
None of them said anything and soon James had come back down the stairs with a medium sized wooden box.
"What's inside?" Mike asked when no one said anything at first.
James smiled the smile that they'd all come to know and fear. It was almost as bad as if James had said, 'I'm board.' "It's a few gifts from my dad, but my mom can't find out about them."
"Like his invisibility cloak?" Alex asked, because her dad had mentioned that Jame's dad Harry had one that he used all the time while at Hogwarts.
James scowled at the right answer, because he had wanted to shock and surprise them. "Really?" Mike asked, "Is that what's inside the box?"
"Yes, but that's not all. There is also.." James started but was cut off by Fred.
"Oh, and let me guess, you also have the Marderer's map!" he didn't even wait for James to answer before continuing, "That's so awesome!"
They took the two items out of the box and started to watch people on the map and walk around with the invisibility cloak on, but they had to put them away when they saw people were on their way up. They headed up to their rooms before anyone got there.
When Alex arrived at her room she decided she couldn't wait to write to her parents any longer. She took out a pen and paper. She wasn't sure what she was going to write or how much she would include, but when the pen touched the paper her hand started to move on it's own.
Dear mom and dad,
Sorry it took so long to write.I've been trying to adjust to my classes. Like you said when we got here we were sorted
Alex stopped writing for a moment and took another deep breath before continuing.
Something strange happened, I was sorted into Gryffindor. I know it's strange, but I'm fine with it. I've met some pretty awesome people here and though there are some very irritating people it's like that everywhere. I don't want to pile on the facts right now, so I'll just let what I've said sink in.
Love always your daughter,
Alexandria Malfoy'
She folded up the letter and stuck it in an envelope. Before she sould change her mind she went over to the tower where the owls were and called out to hers, "Gordo!" and the medium sized owl with black feathers like night came down from a bed.
"Gordo deliver this to dad okay?" Alex said, then added as an after thought "Make it as fast as possible."
Gordo took the letter in his claws and the owl seemed to look at her in understanding before taking off out the window. She sighed and turned to leave when the door started to open. Alex was hoping that it wasn't a Slytherine and so she was relieved when she saw James.
"What're you doing up here Alex?" he asked before whisteling for his owl to come down from its bed.
"I'd been avoiding sending a letter to my parents since school started and I couldn't put it off any longer so I just sent it off a minute ago."
James's owl was white with a black streak on it's right side, and she saw it as it glided down from the bed. "Me too. Nieve take this to dad."
The owl gripped the getter and then flew out the window Gordo had just left from. They stood there for a moment but when a light wind blew in Alex spoke. "It's getting cold so I'm going to go."
James nodded in agreement and then followed her out the door.
