Here's the next one.

Chapter 9

Last Time:

"And that is that. Harry do you take Alex to be your wife, through ups and downs, sickness and health, richer or poor?" Dumbledore asks.

"I do" Harry agrees.

"What about you Alex. The same?"

"I do" Alex smiles.

"Harry, you may now kiss your wife" Harry pulls Alex to him and kisses her. Both of them close their eyes, happy to finally call each other theirs.

Just then, the clock hits midnight. Harry agrees in his head. Today is his best and most favourite birthday.

Now:

As September arrives once more, Alex and Max are on the train.

"The wedding was beautiful Ally. I'm glad you, mum and Molly planned it with all of our help. I'm glad that Justin and I were the best men with Ron and Neville, and Ginny, Hermione and Luna were the brides' maids" Max smiles. Alex nods.

"I know. It was really beautiful" after the wedding, Harry and Alex ended up taking a walk around the yard hand in hand. Alex is now 17, and even though Harry is 3 years older, it still doesn't make a difference to her, him, or their families.

"What are you and Harry now going to do?" Alex smirks, remembering when they took that walk at the wedding, they talked around it.

"Well, Harry and I talked about it. He is going to teach at Hogwarts still. And I will go to New York University for art, drama and singing. He will come back every weekend to visit and I will go there. We are going to buy a house in New York or talk to mum and dad to see if we can live at home, then buy a house in England near Ron and Hermione" Max grins, knowing he and the Russo family will not lose their daughter or sister, "now what were you and Ginny talking about at the wedding?" Max blushes and smiles.

"I proposed to her" Alex's mouth drops open.

"What did she say?"

"She said yes" Alex squeals and tackles Max with a hug, "why did Juliet miss the wedding?"

"She was with her parents"

"Do they still call you Oprah?" Alex snorts and nods.

"Ya. But they sent gifts and apologised for missing it" Max hugs Alex and Alex takes her seat again, "Juliet and Justin are engaged" Max gasps.

"Really?" Alex nods. Max then mocks a squealish girl, "oh my gosh! All us Russo's are getting married young!" Alex rolls her eyes and throws a box at him. Max opens the box, and discovered it's a box full of Alex's candy from earlier. Max begins to eat the candy.

~H&A~

Harry is talking to Ginny, who told him about her and Max being engaged. Luna and Neville are having their wedding during Christmas break, and told Harry to tell his wife that she HAS to COME. Well, that won't bother Alex, since the wedding is in New York, near Alex's house. Just then, Harry hears the doors open and the students walk in.

"Would you like me to tell the school that you and Alex are married?" Dumbledore whispers to Harry. Harry nods, thinking back to his and Alex's conversation 2 days before he left to go back to the school, "alright"

After the first years are sorted Dumbledore stands up to speak. The whole school completely silent.

"Ok, so there are a few things you all need to know" Dumbledore looks at each person. He sees Max and Alex sitting side by side smiling. He looks at Annie, who is glaring at Alex, "well, over the summer, Alex Russo and Harry Potter got married" a few gasps were hear, but the cheers were more heard. Some people were screaming 'Go Harry! Go Alex!' and others were 'We believe in you!' or 'Go luck you too!' Alex and Max looks at each other before they both look at their other halves.

Dumbledore smiles, "Yes, well done you two. You both deserve happiness, after a VERY long, hard road. You both are skyscrapers and have fixed each other's hearts" Alex and Harry smiles at each other, "now I believe you all are starving" Dumbledore makes the food appear and they all begin to eat.

~A&H~

A few weeks later, Alex and Harry's marriage is the talk around the school. Alex is currently sitting in the library doing DADA homework, then DA, Potions, Herbology and Muggle Studies is after. Alex is currently finishing off her DADA essay that isn't due for another 2 weeks.

"I'm sure your husband would go easy on you during the school year" Alex jumps and turns around to see Annie glaring at her. Alex rolls her eyes and goes back to doing the essay.

"Whatever Annie. And he treats me like another student" Alex mutters.

"Really. So he screws other students?" Alex rolls her eyes and takes a deep breath.

"No. Just go away Annie. I'm trying to do my homework"

"I'm sure your best friends would go easy on you"

"Actually, they go harder on me than anyone else. Yes they are my friends, but they love their jobs. Ginny and Luna goes harder on me in DA, Harry goes harder on me in DADA, Hermione goes harder on me in Muggle Studies, Neville goes harder on me in Herbology and Ron goes harder on me in Flying and Quidditch. I'm not surprised by that to be honest. Snape STILL goes hard on me in Potions. I love Potions, and I happy that he goes hard on me. I still suck at Herbology and Neville helps me out a lot, and explains it further for me. You have to remember Annie, I'm 17. I'm a teenager and I am not afraid to admit, that my friends are the best in the WHOLE world. And you are screwing yourself over" Alex packs up her stuff and heads to the Room of Requirement to do her homework in peace.

~H&A~

Harry, Ron and Hermione looks on the Marauder's Map in search for Alex.

"I can't find her" Ron whispers looking on his half.

"Me either" Hermione says.

"I can't find her either" Harry whispers.

"She can be in the Room of Requirement" Ron points out. Hermione, Harry and Ron looks at each other.

"She's there" Harry tells them after looking into Alex's mind. Hermione took notice that Harry is now able to look into Alex's mind and find out where her EXACT location is. Their bond is stronger than ever before.

The three of them walk to the room of Requirement, and the door appears. Harry opens the door and they all walk in to see Alex sitting on the couch, near the fire doing homework. The golden three walks to Alex and Harry sit down next to her. He looks at what she is writing to see her working on Potions. Hermione sits on the armrest and Ron sits on the other couch.

"You're going to be making the Polyjuice Potion and a Wolfsbane Potion?" Hermione asks Alex.

"Ya. We have to answer questions before we start" Alex answers, her voice in a whisper. Harry wraps his arm around Alex, making Alex stop writing and cuddle up into his side, "all my classes are hard. It's starting to get me tired and stressed out" Alex groans. Hermione, Ron and Harry all look at each other than to Alex.

"Would you like us to go easier on you?" Ron asks.

"I don't want special treatment. You guys are my best friends, but our friendship should come second compared to school" Alex opens her eyes to see them all smiling, "what?"

"We were going hard on you Alex. We knew you would crack. We were giving you more homework than the class. We were hoping you would crack sooner though" Hermione tells her, "but that is over with now" Hermione pulls out Alex's homework that she still has to work on, "all the homework I gave you today is next month's work. Ron and Harry did the same. Now you have a month to relax, since I see you got our work done" Alex smiles and relaxes.

"Thank god! I dunno how I lasted this long, and it is only October" Alex closes her eyes and rests her head on Harry's chest. Harry lifts her up a bit, so they could lie on the couch and Ron and Hermione could lay on the other. Alex's back is against the back of the couch and she quickly starts to fall asleep, "I love you guys"

"We love you too" Hermione, Ron and Harry whispers. Hermione closes her eyes, falling asleep as the two guys talk for a while longer before falling asleep.

All Alex's homework lies on the ground forgotten.

~A&H~

Annie is sitting in her Slytherin common room, as her other house mates are at dinner. Annie taps the wall, behind the fireplace. The wall opens and in walks... Amanda, Pansy Parkinson and... Draco Malfoy.

"Where is that Russo?" Malfoy asks his foster daughter.

"Room of Requirement with her husband, Harry Potter and her best friends Hermione Granger-Weasley and Ron Weasley" Annie answers with a snarl. Malfoy and Parkinson smirk evilly.

"Good. They dunno what's going to happen, since they got my parents put into Azkaban" Malfoy answers.

The four of them walks to the Room of Requirement, ready to kill the ones that killed their families or got them taken away. Annie's and Amanda's parents got killed during the war and so they were sent to Malfoy. Malfoy and Parkinson are engaged and their wedding is in 2 weeks.

The four of them walks to the Room of Requirement and the door appears. They walk in silently and walk to the couches. They look at the couches with their wands pointed.

And that is the chapter. Please review!
