The next morning, Hermione got up from the floor. Her father caught her trying to sleep in her bed, but George screamed at her and made her sleep on the hard wood floor, no blanket, or pillow. Why does he like Alexandra better than me? She walked in the kitchen, and saw Alexandra. She had a paper towel over her wrist. On her wrist, she was bleeding.

"Alexandra? Are you okay? What happened?" Hermione asked. Then she saw a knife on the side of her.

"What? Nothing, I'm fine. Don't worry about it," Alexandra said.

She was bleeding like crazy! "Alex, let me help you."

Alex shook her head."I'm fine, okay?"

Hermione gasped, turned around and looked at the doorway. George was standing there with a belt. Hermione, looked at Alex. Alex, didn't even know George was there.

"Alex, go in the other room," George said.

Alex turned around. "But-"

"Now." George said.

"What are you going to do to, Hermione?" Alex asked noticing George's belt.

"See! This is exactly why I came here, Alex! I wanted to see if you'd be alright with George." Hermione said.

"You know what? We're going to the Burrow." Alex said. She heard Ron yesterday say, the Burrow before disappearing into the fireplace; she knows how to work it.

Alex took Hermione's arm, pulling her to the fireplace. Alex grabbed a handful of flu powder. Alex, dropped it and said, "Hogwarts!"

---------------------------------

"Alex? Hermione?" Ron asked. He just saw them standing near his fireplace.

"What are you guys- Alex, your bleeding." Ron said.

"I'm used to it," Alex said.

Hermione was suspicious of Alex. What did she mean by, she was used to it? Did George abuse her and she was lying about it? Or did she do this herself? Was she more than goth? What if she has a whole other world to her-- and she doesn't want anyone to find out.

"What are you guys doing here? I was just going to check up on you guys," Ron said.

Hermione shrugged."I showed up unexpectedly."

"I can see that," Ron said."Alex, are you sure you don't want anything for that cut? You look like your in pain."

Molly walked through the door.

"Hermione!" Molly said happily. "How are you?"

"Good," Hermione said."Oh, this is my... stepsister, Alex."

"Nice to meet- your bleeding! Here let me get something for you," Molly said. "You can follow me."

Alex sighed, she had no choice. She followed Molly to the bathroom.

Finally, I can be alone with Ron, Hermione sighed.

"So why are you really here?" Ron asked.

"He's drunk again," Hermione said.

"Oh," Ron rolled his eyes. "So you don't know why Alex has a cut? That looks like it's deep."

"I know... Ron, I think she might be more than goth, if you know what I mean," Hermione said.

"What do you mean? More than goth?" Ron asked.

"I.. I think she's emo." Hermione said.

Ron burst out into laughter.

"Ron, it's not funny," Hermione said."I'm being serious."

"You don't have any proof do you?" Ron asked.

"I saw a knife next to her covered in blood, when I saw her in the kitchen." She could feel her blood pressure rising.

"Well, we don't know if she is or not, for sure. We should keep an eye out. Okay? Just don't worry about it, maybe she isn't emo." Ron said.

"Ron, her wrists has all cuts!" Hermione complained.
"Let's worry about that when we get back to, Hogwarts? Okay?" Ron tried to cheer her up.

Hermione nodded.

---------------------------------

They made it to Hogwarts safe and sound.

Hermione was exhausted, but she had Potions next. She gathered her materials, and wandered off.

Malfoy blocked her exit.

"Come on Malfoy, I'm not having a good day," Hermione rolled her eyes.

Malofy smiled, "I'll let you go if you give me a kiss."

"No! I'm going back out with, Ron." Hermione said.

"Your going out with him? Again? He's the one who put you in tears! He's the one who put you in pain!" Malfoy said with fusteration.

"I know... but, I forgave him! He was just stressed, and he promised never to do it again." Hermione explained. "Now, can I please go? I'll be late for Potions."

Malfoy sighed, and let her pass. He just remembered he had Potions too. He grabbed his notebook, and tried to catch up with Hermione.

It wasn't that hard, because, she wasn't far ahead.

It only took three minutes to get to potions.

Alex was already there. Hermione sat a row in front of her. Snape entered the room. He was in a reaklly depressed mood, and didn't look to happy today. His eyes stared straight ahead.

"Turn to page 445," Snape said in his deap voice.

The class sighed, and Hermione read the page.

Goth's and Emo's.

Hermione was dead silent. She turned around to Alex. No expression on her face. She just sat there. Staring straight ahead. Snape started to write on the chalkboard.

"Take notes," He demanded."Write down the title on the top line: How to tell the difference between Goth's and Emo's."

This is Potion's class, isn't it? Hermione asked herself, then why aren't we learning about Potions?

"Does anyone know how to tell the difference?" Snape asked.

Ron better not raise his hand, I'll kill him. Hermione thought, No, I can't. I love him to much.

A wizard named David raised his hand.

"Yes, David?" Snape asked rolling his eyes.

"Emo's cut themselves," David said.

No, really? It doesn't take a genius to figure that out!

The class laughed except for, Hermione, Alex, and Ron.

"Very good, David." Snape said. "Now, what about Goth's?"

Hermione slunk back in her seat. She looked at Ron. He was looking at her also. He shook his head and lip talked, "Don't worry about it."

"Anyone?" Snape asked. He saw Hermione and Ron talking. He slowly walked up to her, and smacked her head.

She put her hand on her head.

Alex got up and that's when the trouble began! Alex stangled Snape. Everybody got up and watched. It took Ron, and Harry to try to hold Alex back. Snape just stood there. Alex broke out of they're grip and attacked Snape. His hair was all messy, he had a huge scratch on his face that was bleeding, and his nose was also bleeding.

Alex struggled desperatly to get out of Harry's and Ron's tight grip. She also had a scratch on her face from Snape.

"You bitch!" Snape yelled at her.

"Bastard!" Alex said almost in a sob."What kind of teacher are you? Your supposed to be teaching Potions! Not be making fun of Goth's and Emo's! Jerk! If I was Dumbledore, I'd fire you!"

"Don't talk to me that way, you son of a-" Snape stopped himself.

Alex, tried to struggle out of Harry's and Ron's tight grip again.

"That's a detention for you, Alex." Snape snapped.

"Good for you! I'm not going," Alex said furiously."I'll skip!"

"Good, I never want to see your face again!" Snape said.

Alex struggled. She wanted to smack him so hard! Right across his face so that his memory came back, that he knew what to teach again.

The bell rang. Potions was there last class.

Alex seemed to calm down as everybody walked out the door.
