Here's the new chapter! We were learning about glaciers today in Geography, still on Ancient Greeks in History and starting our concert songs in Guitar. : )

Chapter 25

Last Time:

"NO! I TOLD YOU I NEVER PUT MY NAME IN THE GOBLET. I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THIS. I DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED! I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THIS!" Alex screams and she paces in Dumbledore's office. Karkaroff, Maxime, Snape, McGonagall and Dumbledore are sitting on chairs listening to Alex's rampage.

"Ally" Dumbledore calls softly. Alex turns to Dumbledore, tears finally falling freely. Alex dives into Dumbledore's arms and hugs him tightly.

"Don't make me daddy. I don't want to" Alex cries. Dumbledore hugs Alex tighter, knowing she needs comfort.

"We will think of something" Dumbledore promises.

Too bad, it won't work out.

Now:

Alex slumps up against the wall, taking a breather. She is just about to face her Gryffindor family. Alex bites her lip, says the password and walks in.

"CHEAT!" a guy calls out seeing Alex.

"YOU GOT AWAY WITH IT SINCE YOU ARE DUMBLEDORE'S DAUGHTER!" a girl snaps. Alex's eyes quickly searches for her friends. She sees Justin, 17, Max, 14 and Russo, 16, sitting at the table and her normal group at the fire. Alex walks to the fire and sits down next to Hermione. She closes her eyes and rests her head on Hermione's shoulder. Hermione wraps her arm around Alex's shoulders and continues to read her Potions book. Harry and Ron looks at Alex then goes back to doing their Potions homework. Alex is AMAZING at Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts.

"I hate school" Alex mutters. Her friends look sadly at their best friend/girlfriend. Harry walks over to Alex and sits on the arm of the couch, next to her.

"Everything will die down soon" Harry reasons with her.

"No it won't" Ron rolls his eyes.

"You just want the attention Alex. That is why you put your name in. That's why that you got to enter. You are the 'greatest wizard of the world's' daughter. You are just attention seeking drama queen" Ron snaps and stands up. He storms up to his dorm. Alex stands up and runs up to her dorm, crying. Max, Justin and Russo watched everything go down.

"I'll be back" Russo tells her brothers before running upstairs to comfort Alex.

~H&A~

A few weeks later, nothing died down. Hermione and Harry took neither side of the fight and are staying out of it. Hermione and Harry would hang out by themselves, as Ron would hang out with Ginny as Alex has been hanging out with Justin, Max and Russo.

Alex is at Hagrid's hut freaking out. It is midnight and Alex is about to go into the woods with Hagrid.

"Come on" Hagrid whispers to Alex as he pulls her into the woods. As they make it to the middle of the forest, Alex sees dragons in a distance.

"Hey Hagrid" Charlie, one of Ron's brothers, smiles as Alex hides in the bushes.

"Charlie" Hagrid smiles.

"We brought the dragons over for the first task. I hear Alex is involved. How is she?"

"Not good. Ron and her are in a fight and are not talking" Charlie shakes his head.

"I will talk to him" Hagrid nods.

"What types are there?"

"Hungarian Horntail is the worst. There's the Chinese Firebolt, Common Welsh Green, Swedish Short-Snout and Norwegian Ridgeback"

"Which one do you want Alex to get?"

"The one that is easiest and well behaved is the Norwegian Ridgeback"

"Ok" Hagrid smiles, "well the task is tomorrow and I should head back"

"Ok. See you tomorrow Hagrid" Hagrid waves to Charlie once more before he and Alex walks back to Hagrid's hut.

"Oh god!" Alex covers her face and starts to pace in front of Hagrid. They are standing in front of Hagrid's hut, "dragons. That's the first task!" Alex pulls at her hair before Hagrid pulls her into a hug.

"You will be ok Al. Just flash and use your American magic" Alex nods and calms down, "ok, now go up to bed" Alex flashes up to her dorm and crawls into bed.

~H&A~

The next day, Alex has been freaking out. She is sitting with her friends: Russo, Max and Justin.

"Good luck Al" Max smiles.

"Good luck lil' sis" Justin hugs Alex.

"Good luck ninja" Russo grins. 'Ninja' is Alex's newest nickname from Russo, as of today.

"Thanks Lexi" Alex grins in return, "thanks boys" Alex hugs all three of them once more before she and Justin goes into the tent that is in the Quidditch stadium. Max and Russo walk into the stands and sits down in the Gryffindor area.

The two of them sees Hermione, Ron and Harry sit down together in front of them.

"You three are assholes" Russo snaps at them. The three turn around and glares.

"What are you talking about?" Harry snaps in return.

"You guys blew your friendship and relationship with Alex. Wait, I guess I have to thank you. You guys made me and Alex have a friendship" Russo smiles at them, "so thank you for that"

Hermione looks down upset, as Harry and Ron shrugs. Russo catches Hermione eyes and mouths...

'Don't worry. You and Alex are still friends' Hermione smiles and turns around.

~H&A~

After Krum, Fleur and Justin passed the task; it is now Alex's turn.

Alex has to face the Hungarian Horntail. Alex walks out and starts to hum, to calm herself down. She looks up to see the dragon above her.

"Hello sir" Alex smiles, and doesn't notice that she is talking to the dragon.

"Kill" the dragon replies and tries to bite her. Alex jumps out of the way and keeps talking.

"Why would you want to kill me?" with each step the dragon moves closer to her.

"My job"

"Oh that's lovely. So do you know what I am supposed to do for this task?"

"I protect the egg"

"So I have to get this egg from you?" Alex picks up the golden egg and smiles. Alex ended up distracting the egg, and both not knowing Alex made it to the eggs. The dragon spits fire at her, and Alex jumps out of the way. She hits her head off the rocks and blacks out.

What did you think? Alex talking to dragons. That's a new one. : ) please review.
