Here's chapter 14 everyone! Hope you like it.
Oh, and I am home from school for the rest of the week since I have a VERY bad cold and a bad cough. Today is September 29th 2011
Chapter 14
Last Time:
"Who was that guy?" Alex asks in a whisper.
"Voldemort" Lupin answers.
"What is a boggart?"
"A boggart takes on the form of your worst fears"
"So mine is Voldemort and..."
"Losing the ones you love" Alex nods and wipes her tears. Lupin looks sadly at the still 12 year old, knowing her life is getting hard and full of drama. Lupin pulls Alex into a hug, knowing she needs it, "watch your anger in the class. I really don't want to give you a detention" Alex snorts but nods her head, before pulling away and walking out the door.
Now:
As Alex walks out of the classroom, she crashes into Draco Malfoy, her crush and her worst enemy.
"Hey Alex" Malfoy smiles softly and kisses her cheek, "are you ok?"
"Ya" Alex smiles after taking a deep breath, "rough night"
"Would you like me to punch Potter?" Alex smirks.
"I would but then you would get into trouble"
"I would do anything for you" Alex blushes and gives him an are-you-kidding look, "I'm not kidding"
"How you do even know that?"
"I can tell by your looks now, after 2 years. You have an are-you-kidding, which you just gave me, then there's you-are-stupid, and my most favourite one you-are-cute" Alex shakes her head laughing.
"You are messed up Malfoy"
"Why thank you" Malfoy bows to Alex and she pushes him away.
"I will see you later"
"Ok" Malfoy kisses Alex's cheek again and walks away. Alex mentally sighs, but walks to her next class... Divination with Professor Trelawney.

As Alex walks into the class, she sits down next to Ron and Harry. There is a chair empty beside her, and she knows that, that is Hermione's seat.
"Where's Hermione?" Alex asks the two guys.
"She should be coming" Ron answers. Alex nods and pulls out her books, "so Alex?" Alex looks at Ron, "did Lupin explain what happened?" Alex nods.
"My worst fear is Voldemort killing the ones I love" Alex doesn't notice that Ron flinched at the name but Harry did.
"Did you like the class?"
"It was cool, but I wasn't there at the start. I was with dad and McGonagall" Alex lays her head on the table, and looks at Ron directly.
"Why?"
"They are trying to help me get the classes I want"
"What's the gold chain around your neck?" Alex sits up again and hides the gold chain with her hair and shirt.
"I'm not allowed to answer. I'm sorry" Ron nods in understanding. Alex looks at Harry to see him staring at her, "if you learn to be nice and take back what you say, I will start talking to you again and stop giving you the cold shoulder" Alex starts to ignore Harry again, as Harry and Ron begins to talk.
As class starts, Alex stares at Trelawney like she is nuts.
"Class, you will work with the person across from you" Alex knows she will have to work with Harry and when Hermione comes, Ron will work with her, "now, pick up the cup across from you and use your inner eye" Alex hears a snort next to her and turns to see Hermione. Alex jumps and covers her squeal that came into her mouth.
"When did you get here?" Ron asks Hermione.
"I was always here" Hermione answers. Alex stares at Hermione to see the same gold chain around her neck that Alex has. Alex smirks knowing Hermione has a time turner like she does. Hermione and Ron start to do their work, so she picks up Harry cup. She looks into it, to see tea leaves.
"This class is stupid" Alex mutters and flips through her book. Alex starts to turn the cup in her hands, trying to figure it out.
"Ahh, your pondering" Alex jumps and looks up to see Trelawney, "what's wrong sweetie?" Alex stares at her for a moment and rolls her eyes.
"Well, I see that there's a sun" Alex points to the sun, "then there's a black cloud kind of thing" Alex looks at the book, "so Harry's going to die... but be happy about it?" Alex looks confused as Ron and Hermione stops. Trelawney takes the cup and nods.
"Your right" Trelawney takes Alex's cup from Harry's hands, then gasps and drops it. She looks at Alex, "you have... The Grim" Alex rolls her eyes. Every year, since Alex was born, Trelawney predicts that there is always one person would get 'The Grim'.
"You always say this every year Trelawney" Alex stands up, grabs the cup and smashes it. Alex grabs her bag and books, then storms out of the classroom.
"Class, one of you look up The Grim and tell the rest of us the definition" Trelawney tells them. Alex hears the flipping of pages as she climbs down the ladder and down the steps.

As Harry, Ron and Hermione walks down to Care of Magical Creatures, which Hagrid is teaching, they see Alex sitting on a barrel as she is talking to Hagrid.
"She says I have 'The Grim'" Alex snorts as Hagrid chuckles.
"Every year, she says that. It's her way on scaring the class" Hagrid laughs. Alex rolls her eyes and sighs when she sees Harry, Ron and Hermione. Hagrid looks to his left to see the three teenagers.
"I need to speak with Hermione" Alex tells Hagrid. Hagrid nods and lets Alex into his hut.
"You know where we are going right?" Hagrid asks.
"Yup" Alex smiles and looks at Hermione, "may I speak with you?" Hermione nods as Alex jumps off the barrel and leads the way into Hagrid's hut. As Alex closes the door, the two of them sits down on the arm chairs near the fire, "you have a time tuner" Hermione's eyes grow wide and she starts to lie.
"No I don't. I read about them, but I don't have one" Alex rolls her eyes.
"I have one too" Alex pulls out her time tuner and shows it to Hermione. Alex gently grabs the gold chain around Hermione's neck and lifts it up. She drops the time tuner and it lands on Hermione's chest and Alex's does the same with her's.
"How did you know?"
"I saw it in class. That's how you were not in class one second and the next you are" Hermione nods.
"Did your dad give you that one?" Alex nods and smiles.
"He gave it to me this morning. He said it was his when he started in his third year" Alex starts to fiddle with it as she smiles, "I won't use it unless I need too" Hermione nods.
"I have Ancient Runes at the same time as Divination" Alex nods again.
"I don't like the class but it's mandatory"
"I know. I totally agree with you" Alex sighs and looks down, "what's wrong?"
"Are you and Ron taking Harry's side?" Hermione grows shocked. She knew Alex is having a hard time so far, but Ron and her turning their back on her over something so stupid yet hurtful?
"No. We aren't taking either side" Hermione says honesty. Hermione pulls Alex into a hug after standing up, "Harry is just being stupid lately. He will turn around" Alex nods in Hermione's shoulder as she hugs her back, "what's going on between you and Malfoy?" Alex looks up at Hermione with a weak smile.
"Well, I have a small crush on him, and I know he has one on me, but nothing is going to happen. He was mean to you last year, so if he doesn't be nice to my friends, then nothing will happen. Besides, I'm only twelve" Hermione laughs and hugs Alex once more before pulling away.
"I will protect you forever Ally. I will not date someone you don't like"
"I won't date a guy who you don't like or isn't nice to you" Hermione and Alex grins at each other then Alex turns completely serious again, "are you my older sister Hermy?"
"Yes I am and I'm your best friend. Ron and Harry are your older brothers and best friend's as well" Alex nods as Hermione rubs Alex's back to comfort her. Hermione nods, that Harry is a touchy subject for her, "when will I meet your friends from Wiztech?" Alex smiles.
"Well, Ron and Ginny met them, so it's yours and Harry turn. I guess whenever you two comes to The Burrow during the summer" Hermione grins and nods.
"Ok" Alex and Hermione open the door of the hut, and after closing it they walk into the forest.
And that's the chapter. What do you think? Please review.
