"Get in the toy box." I whispered.

"Alex, I'm scared." She whispered back.

"I know you are, I am too. I'll keep you safe" I muttered into her hair. "I promise".

"ALEXANDRIA!" A booming voice called through the hall downstairs. I whipped my head round to the door.

"I have to go, I'll be back." I whispered as I shut the toy box lid. I ran through to my bedroom where I waited for him to find me.

"ALEXANDRIA!" The voice boomed again, it had gotten closer this time.

"I'm in here." I said with confidence. He walked into my room with a crazed look in his eyes. He glared at me then brought his fist up and punched my jaw; I fell to the floor as I fought the tears from pouring out of my eyes.

~O~O~

I shot up out of bed panting. I looked round to see Roxy packing her trunk.

"It's okay Lexy, it was just a dream." She told me when she looked round.

'That's what she thinks.'

"Yeah it' just a dream. Why are you packing?" I asked.

"It's the last day, we leave tomorrow." She laughed.

"Oh right" I muttered. I climbed out of bed and waved my wand. "Pack"

All my possessions flew into my trunk. I laughed as Roxy's mouth fell open. I walked into my bathroom and went for a shower trying to block out my memory from my dream. I sat in the shower hugging my legs as the water hit against my back.

'He'll get you.'

"No he won't" I muttered.

'He will, you'll let him too.'

"No I won't. He can't hurt me."

'Physically he mightn't hurt you, but mentally. Mentally he's killed you a hundred times.'

"Shut up. Shut up, shut up, shut up!" I shouted.

'Fine, but I'm in your head.'

~O~O~

"Hey Alex." I looked up from my book to see Albus walking towards my table at the back of the library.

"Hey Al"

"Why are you in the library?" He asked, sitting next to me.

"Why are you in the library?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I came to find you; the map said you were here, so I came to investigate."

"You came to investigate?" I giggled. "And that map is creepy, Albus your grandfather created a stalker map."

"It wasn't just him; Teddy's Dad helped, Sirius helped and Wormtail did too." He laughed. "And yes, I came to investigate as to why you would be hiding in the library on such a nice day, which is also the last day of the term, and the school year. Care to explain?" I couldn't help but smile at Albus; he could always say the right things to get me to smile.

"I am not hiding in the library, I'm reading. And what difference does it make if I'm not outside with the rest of you? I am staying at your house for the summer, so I'll see you every day, and all of my friends are your family, so it's not like I won't see them either."

"That's not all true; Scorpius is going on holiday with his parents for the first two weeks." Albus cut in smirking.

"Okay well, I'll Scorpius on the train, and the rest of the holidays." I giggled.

"Why won't you come outside?"

"I don't feel like going outside. Besides, I'm not dressed for decent weather." I gestured to my jeans and hoodie I was wearing.

"Well then, I'll just have to get to your Common Room then." Before I could do anything he had picked up my book and ran out the library.

"Albus!" I shouted as he ran away. To which I got many glares for. I ran after him as fast as I could, but it wasn't fast enough because my hair kept getting in the way of my sight. I stopped and pulled the hair elastic off my wrist and tied my curly hair back into a ponytail.

I pulled off my jumper and shrunk it so it would fit in my pocket. Under my hoodie I had my training top. I set off running after Albus; I knew he was heading to my Common Room so I cut across the short cut I knew. I got to the portrait just after Albus; I knew this because the portrait had just shut. I ran into the Common Room to see Albus out of breath sitting on the sofa facing away from me.

"ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER!" I shouted making Albus jump. "YOU GIVE ME MY BOOK BACK NOW!"

"Only, if you go get changed and come outside with me." He smirked.

"Fine" I snapped, I snatched my book from his hand and ran up to my dorm, slamming the door as loud as I could so I knew he would hear.

I took off my jeans and pulled on some baggy combat shorts. I then found a green vest top and pulled that on after taking off my training top. I gave myself straight blonde hair with a pull fringe and left it in the ponytail. I kept my black ankle high Converse on. I scowled at Albus as I ran down the stairs.

"Very muggle army." He laughed.

"Shut up and let's go." I snapped.

We walked out of the school to the Black Lake to the tallest tree in the school grounds. I'd given up at being annoyed at Albus, but I wasn't happy about being outside.

When we got to the tree I could see Roxy with Frank round the side of the tree, away from anyone else – after the party Frank and Roxy had become a proper couple. At the other side of the tree I could see Scorpius, James, Lily, Lucy, Molly and a few of her friends I'd met a few times before.

"Hey you found her!" James called when he saw us walking towards her.

"Yeah and got her here with great difficulty." Albus laughed.

"Hey Lex, why do you look like such a- such a boy?" Roxy asked walking round from the side of the tree, her fingers entwined with Frank's.

I ignored her and sat down next to Lily and James. I pulled my book out and continued from where I'd left off when Albus interrupted me. Everyone carried on their conversation they were having and Roxy and Frank went back around the tree. I had finished my book but I didn't really want to get in the conversation.

I placed my book on the ground and stood up; I could see everyone glance at me as I looked the tree up and down. I took a few steps back – still looking at the tree – I then I ran towards it then jumped at the trunk and grabbed a branch.

"Alex, what are you doing?" I heard one of Molly's friends ask. I didn't answer and pulled myself up onto the branch. I then climbed the tree to the very top.

"Lexy are you stupid? You'll fall!" I heard Scorpius shout.

I sat at the top of the tree and pulled the hair elastic out of my hair and let the wind flow through it like when I was younger. I must have been there for at least ten minutes.

"Hey Lex." I looked down and saw James struggling to climb the tree. I reached out my hand for him to take.

"Hi" I whispered; my voice weak from not speaking for a while.

"Why're you up here?" James asked, trying to place his feet on a stable branch.

"Try that one." I said pointing to a branch. "I just like to come up high and think." I said looking back over to where I'd been staring at for the last ten minutes.

"Why've you been so quiet?" James asked looking at me.

"I had a bad dream last night, well it was a memory." I explained quietly. We were high enough that no one could hear us but I still didn't want to take the chance.

"You want to talk about it?" I shook my head.

"I might tell you in the holidays." I muttered.

"Okay, well you know I'm here for you?" James asked.

"Yeah" I looked over at him and laughed. "You've got a twig in your hair."

"Aw you're kidding, can you get it out for me?" He asked looking to the top of his head. "If I try to get it it'll just become lost in the mess I call my hair."

"Yeah it's pretty messy." I laughed as I pulled the twig out of his hair.

"Thanks, you want to come down now? The feast will start soon and I think the other's want to get going." James said nodding to the school.

"Yeah sure" I jumped from my branch to one lower down and looked up to James. "Do you want help down?"

"No, I can do this; I'll just start moving once you're out of the tree." I giggled and continued jumping branch to branch until I got the bottom of the tree. Everyone had left already; I looked up the tree to where James was.

"You can come down now, the others have left too." James slowly made his way down until he ran out of branches and sat on one of the lowest ones. I stretched out my arm so he could take my hand to get down. He grabbed my hand with no hesitation and slowly let himself down. "Well done James" I giggled.

We walked to the Great Hall, hand in hand with each other, not actually noticing until we went to open the doors. We quickly let go and opened the doors to the Hall and separated to go to our own House tables.

"Hey guys." I said as I sat next to Roxy and across from Scorpius.

"Oh she talks now?" Roxy snapped. I looked at her in confusion.

"Roxy what's wrong?"

"You completely ignored me earlier." She snapped.

"If I remember correctly, I ignored everyone." I snapped back.

"You didn't ignore James when he climbed that tree." She said, not looking me in the eye.

"I could hardly ignore him when it was just him and me up a tree, could I?" I snapped.

"Yes you could, or you could have just told him to leave you alone."

"Why? He wasn't doing anything wrong?" I questioned. "You know what; I don't have to put up with this." I said. I slid along the bench a few places and concentrated on the empty plate.

"Well done Rox." I heard Scorpius mutter to Roxy. I saw him get up and walk to the end of the table. I closed my eyes and tried to block out the voice trying to put me down further than I already was. "I don't know what's gotten into Roxy." I looked round to see Scorpius sitting next to me.

"You didn't have to leave her for me you know." I muttered.

"I know, but I wanted to. I'm not going to see you for two weeks; I didn't want us to leave on bad terms." He smiled.

"So what about Roxy? You're not going to see her for two weeks either." I smiled back.

"True, but I don't have to live with her when I come back." He laughed; I couldn't help but laugh with him.

~O~O~

Gryffindor had won the house cup and Slytherin came second. The feast was amazing, a lot better than the other feasts, but I supposed it was all due to the fact it was the last feast many students would ever have at Hogwarts.

I walked back to the Common Room with Scorpius and went straight to bed, closing the curtains round my bed. I really didn't want to have to see Roxy.

When I woke I went for a shower straight away and got dressed into a pair of red skinny jeans and a black jumper. I gave myself light brown straight hair that went half way down my back. I slipped my feet into a pair of black flats and ran down the stairs with my trunk. I waited about five minutes for Scorpius to come down the stairs with his trunk. We rushed to the entrance hall with our trunks and threw them into the part of the hall that everyone placed their trunks to be loaded onto the train. We ran into the Great Hall and grabbed some toast and ran back out and towards the grounds gates. We decided to not bother get on the carriages that were pulled by the Thestrals and run to the train instead. Scorpius had told me his Grandmother Greengrass had died holding onto his hand, that's how he could see them.

We could see the train waiting in the station as we got closer. We jumped in the train at one end and ran right through laughing like idiots. We stopped at a compartment and sat down, still laughing but slightly out of breath.

"Okay…" Scorpius panted "That was fun!" He laughed.

"I told you it would be!" I laughed.

"I'm going to miss you Lex."

"Scorp, you're only going for two weeks."

"Still, that's two weeks without my best friend."

"Hey! I thought I was your best friend!" We turned to the door to see Albus smiling.

"You're my best friend, but Lexy's my best girl friend." Scorpius explained.

"I thought I was your best any friend." Albus laughed as he sat down next to me.

Shortly after Albus joined us James and Lily entered the compartment. Lucy then came with Roxy. However Roxy looked like she really didn't want to be with us. We had been moving for about five minutes when Roxy stood up and claimed she'd promised Frank she'd go see him. The rest of us continued talking once she left.

"Lexy, what's with you and Roxy?" James asked.

"I think she's annoyed at me because I ignored everyone yesterday at the tree, but when you climbed up after me I would talk to you." I explained.

"She tried to have a go at Lexy at the feast last night." Scorpius said making everyone look at him. "Lex moved away not taking what Roxy was saying, then I moved with Lexy because she was being horrible." He turned to face me. "I meant what I said after Christmas, I said I'd stick up for you, but not just about your scars." He smiled. I got up and sat next to him and hugged him.

"Thanks Scorp." I muttered into his shoulder.

"No problem Alex." He smiled.

The train journey went rather quickly after that, we all got our sweets from the trolley and I stayed sitting closely next to Scorpius. We all talked and joked around, during the train ride Fred came into our compartment.

"Why is Roxy in a different compartment?" He asked as he sat down where I had been sitting.

"She doesn't want to around me." I said plainly.

"What? But your best friends? Why would she suddenly not want to be around you?" Fred asked. Scorpius and I both explained the same as we had to the others before. "Oh, well just forget about it then, she'll come round. She gets like this sometimes – takes after Mum when she does – but she always admits she's wrong after a few weeks." Fred explained, shrugging the problem with his little sister off.

~O~O~

"Mum!" Lily shouted, running off the train into Ginny's arms. The rest of us clambered out after her. James and Albus ran into Ginny's arms with Lily. I ran up to the family and received an unexpected hug for Harry. I hugged him back, when I let go the Potter children received a hug from their Father as I hugged Ginny. We all said our greetings to the other adults when Scorpius came running towards us.

"Hey guys, I just wanted to say bye, Mum and Dad want to leave straight away." He said once he got close enough. Ginny went out and gave him a hug.

"Have fun dear, you'll write won't you?" She asked.

"Of course I will" he laughed. James and Albus gave him a hug at the same time, to which Lily then joined in with.

"See you mate." Albus said. Once they let go I ran into Scorpius' arms.

"I'll miss you Scorp." I mumbled into his chest. He placed his cheek on the top of my head.

"I'll miss you too Alex." He muttered back as I hugged him tighter.

~O~O~

I unpacked my trunk and found a few pictures in frames. The first I picked up was a photo of Lily with James and Albus at each of her sides, all three of them smiling at the camera. I smiled as I remembered that Lily has forced her brothers to be in the photo with her. The next one I picked up what of Roxy, Lily, Lucy and myself. All of us had our arms around each other, all of us with wide smiles across our faces, we were all laughing too. The third was a picture of Scorpius, Roxy and me, the three of us in the Slytherin Common Room. We stood from tallest to smallest, all of us posing to the side and looking at the camera in our school uniforms with a Slytherin look on our faces, then we started laughing. The fourth was the photo of James, Albus, Lily, Scorpius and I sitting on the teacher's chairs in the Great Hall. The last was of Scorpius and I mucking around.

"Lucy, why do you have a camera?" Scorpius asked Lucy when we were all outside by our tree on a weekend in January. The snow hadn't cleared so we all decided to enjoy it while it was still here. I sneaked up behind Scorpius and jumped on his back, wrapping my legs around his middle. He tried turning his head round to see who had jumped on his back but I covered his eyes before he could see me. "Hey!" He cried.

Lucy giggled as she took the photo. Albus and James started throwing snowballs at us. I had to try and hold back my laughter as Scorpius started spinning to try and dodge the snowballs. I had to move my hands from his eyes and hold onto his shoulders. He continued spinning even though he'd seen me and the snowballs had stopped. I hugged into his shoulder as we feel on our sides.

"Scorpius!" I shouted, while laughing. He looked round at me as we lay in the snow.

"Hey it was your fault!" He laughed.

I smiled at the memory. I placed all the frames on my table next to my bed. I sat on my bed and sighed as I examined the photographs again. My concentration was broken when I heard a knocking on the door.

"Come in" I called. The door slowly opened and Lily peered her head round.

"Mum says dinner's ready."

Like I said earlier, here is the part about shadowkid678.

Shadowkid678 has a Harry Potter fanfiction called Eva Winters. Please read it, I haven't had time to read all of it yet, but I think it will be a really good story. Don't judge it on the short summery, the first 'chapter' is a better summery. Also if you do read the 'chapter' summery, read until the end because you might not like the start - I know I didn't - but it gets better. So check it out.

Hugs and butterfly kisses.
