Chapter 26

Last Time:

Alex jumps hearing the house's door smash open. Justin grabs Alex's hand and they quickly, yet quietly run to the substation's door. Justin opens the door and closes it softly as they run hand in hand away from their old life.

"Don't leave me" Alex whimpers as Justin leads them through the park.

"I will never leave you Alex" Justin promises stopping enough to pull his 9 year old sister to him, "you are stuck with me for the rest of your life" Justin feels Alex tremble in his arms knowing this is too much for her to handle.

"I will never leave you Alex. You are stuck with me for the rest of your life" Justin recites his promise that he made to Alex when he was 12 and she was 9, "I will never leave you" Justin whispers the last 5 words hugging Alex tighter to him as Snape and Minnie leaves the room to let Justin comfort Alex.

Now:

It is dinner time, and Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy are at Snape Manor. Draco's parents are going to be taking Draco home after dinner for the holidays then a day before going back to Hogwarts, Draco will come back.

"Hello Severus, Justin and Alex" Lucius and Narcissa greets the father, son and daughter. Alex is wearing a dark green dress with black pantyhose and dark green flats. Justin is wearing a white dress shirt with a black coat and black pants, with black shoes... just like Snape.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy" Justin forces a smile.

"Hello Lucius and Narcissa" Snape smiles.

"Hi" Alex looks down, clearly not in the mood to see Draco's parents. It's bad enough that she has to see Draco at the dinner table.

"Let's go eat" Lucius and Narcissa steps into the house as Snape closes the door. Alex and Justin lead the way into the dining room, where Draco is already sitting.

Alex slips into the seat next to Snape's end table seat. Justin sits down on Alex's right, and Draco sits across from Alex, Narcissa across from Justin and Lucius sits at the other end table.

Minnie brings the first go of food, and that is salad. Alex takes a bite of her salad, not looking at anyone.

"So...?" Narcissa starts while breaking the silence. Alex closes her eyes, trying to calm herself, knowing questions will be flying at her, "Alex"

Alex looks up at Narcissa.

"We hear that you are dating our son" Alex sneaks at look at Draco but made a mistake, since Draco is staring at her.

"Not anymore" Alex mutters looking down again. All of a sudden, Alex feels like she can't eat, "dad?" Snape looks at Alex, seeing her face pale, "may I be excused?"

"Of course. Go speak with Minnie" Alex nods, getting up and disappearing into the kitchen.

"Why allow your daughter to see that filthy house elf?" Lucius asks which receives him a pissed off look from both Snape and Justin.

"For your info Lucius, Alex and Minnie are best friends. At the same time, I gain the respect of my house elf, and Minnie is a part of my family. If you don't respect that or how I raise my family, get out of my house and STAY out!"

"The Dark Lord will hear about this Severus" Snape shrugs his shoulders.

"He will not be able to come back if he doesn't met the requirements or get my daughter's blood" Snape narrows his eyes, "he needs ALL the requirements and my daughter's blood to arrive back into this world, and I will not allow that" Snape stands up and puts his hands on the table, speaking coldly, "get the fuck out of my house Lucius. And take your wife and son. Draco hurt my daughter, Lucius. They were together for 6 months and he moved too fast for Ally, and scared her" Draco's eyes widen, hearing this new piece of information. He didn't bother to ask Alex her side; he just assumed that she was the same way.

Lucius narrows his eyes but does what he is told, while dragging Draco by the ear out of the house with Narcissa by his side.

In the kitchen, Alex heard the full conversation. Alex is hugging Minnie tightly, as Justin and Snape walks in and joins the hug.

~A&H~

Christmas break is now over, and Alex is sitting in the couch next to the fire, in the Gryffindor common room, doing homework.

"Welcome back" Alex looks up to see Shaby and Toni standing in front of her with their arms crossed.

"Hi" Alex replies softly turning back to her homework.

"Here, let me help" Shaby offers Alex gently. Alex looks up at Shaby and nods softly. Shaby sits down next to Alex and Toni joins them. Both of the older girls begin to help Alex with her Transfiguration; soon enough Alex is caught up understanding it completely.

~H&A~

March arrives, and Alex stares at Professor Lupin, knowing something is going on with him, as he teaches the class. Sirius Black is getting closer and closer to Hogwarts, and it's starting to scare Alex.

"Now today class" Lupin starts as the cabinet behind him shakes, "I am going to teach you about Boggarts. Now do any of you know the incantation?" Alex raises her hand slightly, "yes Ms. Russo-Snape?"

"Is it Riddikulus?" Alex asks softly. Lupin stares at Alex and nods with a smile.

"Yes it is. 20 points to Gryffindor" Lupin gets the class to repeat the incantation after him and then form a line. Alex slips in front of Harry, but behind Hermione and Ron in front of her.

Everyone before Alex had it easy. Alex's turn arrives and she stands in front of the Boggart.

The Boggart takes the form of her worst fear... the dark cloaked man, which has been stalking her, Snape and Justin, and even attacked her when she was 10.

10 year old Alex looks behind her to see a man with a black cloak covering him, head to toe.

Alex turns back forward and begins to speed walk down the street. She keeps looking over her shoulder to find the guy following her.

Soon enough Alex begins to run and turns to the right, down the dark alley. She dives into the dumpster and hides inside.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are" the man calls out. Alex pulls out her wand and stays beneath the trash, "Aguamenti" the dumpster begins to fill with water. As the water rises, Alex holds her breath, disappearing beneath the water. Alex thinks of the breathing charm and casts it among herself. The charm covers her mouth and allows her to breathe under the water, "DAMN IT!" Alex hears the man shout.

Alex stays under the water for a good hour before breaking the spell and jumping out of the dumpster.

Alex runs her fingers through her hair before running out of the alley and to the bridge.

"RIDDIKULUS!" Alex shouts and watches the man transform into kangaroo.

Alex takes a deep breath, happy that that's over.

~A&H~

Alex walks along the bridge with Justin and Snape on both sides of her.

"Why has Lupin been missing classes?" Alex asks Snape, who takes a breath.

"Is he a werewolf?" Justin asks stepping in. Snape looks at Justin astonished.

"Justin dated a werewolf when we were living in New York" Alex explains with a smile, "is he a werewolf?" Snape nods.

"Yes he is. You cannot tell anyone. I make him a Wolfs Bane potion to help him through his transformations" Snape stops and looks at his two kids, a 13 year old and a 16 year old, "let's go back"

The three of them begins their walk back to the castle on their lunch break.
