Hey guys. Ok, today, I tried to post (March 22, 2011) and it didn't let me for some reason. I have all the chapters uploaded but it won't let me post them. Do you know what's wrong and why it does that? Anyway, I have to go type a letter to my principal and try to convince her to let me drop Drama. If not, I will just end up skipping it every day. Anyway, here's the chapter, and I will end up bouncing between typing this and that stupid letter that I spent an hour writing by hand and get my parents to sign it. It was funny. I was listening and am, listening to Haunted by Taylor Swift and now the song is stuck in my head. : D

Here's the chapter before I go on about…

Soft kitty

Warm kitty

Little ball of fur

Happy kitty

Sleepy kitty

Purr, purr, purr

Too late. : P I was watching Big Bang Theory. Anyway, here's the chapter before I start again!

Chapter 36

June arrived and Alex hasn't been dealing with the deaths good lately. She has still been barely talking to anyone, but at least she has been hanging around Hermione, Harry and Ron. Alex sometimes has been seen with Justin and Max when she wasn't around her friends. Right now, Alex is currently sitting with Justin and Max on one end of the table and her friends on the other end. Alex sighed and took a small bite of her caesar salad.

"Al, it's been a month. Let us in… please" Max begging, hating seeing his sister like this. Alex turned to the right and glared at him. She quickly stood up, grabbed her plate and walked away. Alex sits down at the very end of the table and distanced herself from everyone. Alex saw her friends and brothers watching her sadly. Alex looks down and pushed her food away. Once it was far enough away, she lays her head down in her arms and starts to cry.

"Aww, is the baby crying?" Alex looks up to see Malfoy. Alex rolls her eyes and wipes her tears.

"Get lost" Alex stands up and walks away. Once in the hall, Malfoy grabs her arm and pushes her up against the wall, "piss off Malfoy!" Alex kicks him in the crotch and pushes him away from her. She slipped between him and the wall and ran up the stairs as fast as possible.

Once in the common room, Alex sat on the couch and broke down. Alex kept crying as her friends walked in with her brothers. They all felt sorry for her and Justin walked over. He picked her up and took over her spot. Alex whimpered and clung to him like a small child. Alex cried into his chest and Max rubbed her back as Justin stroked her hair. Hermione, Ron and Harry decided to give them some space so they all walked out and went down to the 1st floor to find out what happened. A few hours later, Hermione, Ron, Justin, Max, Harry, Fred, George, and Ginny are all storming into the great hall to find Malfoy. They found him sitting with his friends, so they broke into a run and Harry punched him in the face. Fred and George took on Crabbe and Goyle with Ginny and Max. Ron, Justin and Hermione joined in as well. Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape ran in and tried to stop the fights. Alex quietly walked in, in jeans, and a black sweater. She has her hood up to hide her red eyes and that was when she saw a crowd. Alex walked into the crowd and gasped.

"GUYS!" Alex shouted and everyone stopped and looked at her. Dumbledore and McGonagall were surprised but at the same time, not really. Snape glared at Alex and Alex glared back, "what's going on?" Alex asked nervously and Justin walked to her. When he gently touched her arm, she quickly backed up and looked down in fear. 'This is not like Al. she's never like this and it's all cause of Malfoy' Justin thought and Dumbledore read his thoughts.

"Draco, what did you do to Alex this morning?" Dumbledore asked.

"Nothing" Malfoy answered and glared at Alex. Dumbledore went into Alex's thoughts and watched her memories of this morning and the Triwizard tournament. Dumbledore gasped when he saw what happened between Alex and Harry vs. Voldemort.

"Alex, can I see you in my office?" Alex looked up and nodded, "you too Harry" Harry nodded and the 2 of them started up, "Draco, I saw into Alex's memories. I can't believe you would hurt her. Not only that, but now she's scared of just getting touched on the arm gently or on the hand. Now, Professor Snape will deal with you" Dumbledore and McGonagall left to help Alex and Harry. The other Gryffindor students quietly left the great hall and ran up to Gryffindor tower as Snape dealt with Malfoy.

~HP & WOWP~

Dumbledore and McGonagall saw Alex and Harry standing outside to the passage way up to Dumbledore's office. They saw Alex's arms wrapped around her and she is sitting on the ground with her knees to her chest. Harry is sitting beside her trying to talk to her.

"Ok guys. Let's go up" Dumbledore whispered the password and helped Alex to her feet since she whimpered when Harry tried. Harry sighed when Alex accepted from Dumbledore but not him. Dumbledore led them up to his office and once inside, Harry sat down and Alex sat down on the couch on the other side of the room… behind Dumbledore's desk. Harry saw Dumbledore walk over to Alex as she lies down and closed her eyes. Dumbledore stroked her hair like a father would do, and allowed her to fall asleep for now, "Harry, tell me what happened in the grave yard" Dumbledore whispered as he sat down in his chair.

"Well, Voldemort was raised and Alex said a spell under her breath. It was harmless and then Voldemort got mad and he tried to kill me, but Alex stepped in the way. It didn't even hurt her, and we both casted 'Expelliarmus'. Then my parents and Alex's friends came out of our wands and they fought Voldemort until me and Alex got to the cup" Harry explained. Dumbledore nodded.

"Priori Incantatem" Dumbledore explained, "Your wand, Alex's and Voldemort's all have a connection. They all have a feather of a Phoenix… the SAME Phoenix. That Phoenix is now dead and the wands choose you guys. My guess is, the wand knew about what was going to happen. I'm not too sure. But you and Alex have to work together to kill Voldemort and Alex is the only one who can protect you guys. I'm not sure why, but its happening. Voldemort was just trying to get Alex onto his side, and when he realized that it wasn't happening, he tried to kill you. If Alex didn't step in the way, you would be dead. Alex loves you Harry; she would do anything to save you, Ron, Hermione, Justin and Max. I also found out something new. Alex isn't related to Professor Lupin, and it wasn't Lupin's sister who is Alex's mom"

"Then who is? And what happened?" Harry asked in a whisper

"It's Bellatrix Lastrange. Sirus Black is her uncle. I got into Voldemort's mind and I was thinking that Lupin's sister is Alex's mom, but it's a lie. I did some digging and found out the truth. I'm sorry that it's a lie, but she IS Voldemort's daughter. Bellatrix is Voldemort's wife, in a way, but they are not at the same time. To me, they are more of best friends, but… I don't know. All I know, is Bellatrix is Alex's mom and Sirus is her uncle, not her godfather. Lupin did take Alex in until she was 1ish-2. I then put her with the Russo's" Harry nodded understanding.

"So Bellatrix Lastrange is really Alex's mom and Voldemort is still her dad. Also, Sirus is her uncle" Dumbledore nodded in conforming that it is true.

"Yes" Dumbledore, McGonagall and Harry heard a pop and looked to where Alex was, and saw nothing. McGonagall gasped and ran for the door, "Wait McGonagall. Alex just popped into the kitchen. She's getting ice cream" McGonagall sighed in relief and Alex popped back in. she sat down on the couch and McGonagall walked over to her and gently hit her in the head.

"Oww" Alex murmured and took a bite of her ice cream.

"Don't do that again" McGonagall hissed. Alex nodded and ate more ice cream. McGonagall took a seat next to Alex and hugged her, "you scared us for a minute there. How are you doing?"

"Ok"

"Are you sure?"

"Ya, I was listening to everything Professor D was saying to Harry. I WAS asleep until I had a small nightmare. So I am still Voldy's daughter, but not related to Lupin. I'm Sirus's niece" Alex translated, looking at Dumbledore and Dumbledore nodded.

"Yes" Dumbledore agreed.

"Why did my friends and Harry's parents come up and are they really dead?"

"Yes they are dead. When yours and Harry's wands clashed with Voldemort's, it triggered kind of like a portal. The people who mean the most to you came to help you get to safety. At the same time, Alex, when you risked your life to save Harry, that was brave and that gave you the chance to fight back. I know I messed up before, but Harry, you are able to die from Voldemort, but when you have Alex with you, she can save you. Alex, I have noticed this, but you have like a shield so you can be protected against Voldemort, but not others. I'm still sorry for getting it all wrong. I was caught up trying to figure out things in Voldemort's mind. But now, I can't get into his mind since he is protecting it with occlumency"

"What's that?"

"Uhh… it's a way to protect your mind from getting looked into"

"Can you teach me?"

"You're too young right now, but I will" Alex nodded

"Ok" Alex smiled weakly and finished her ice cream. Once it was gone, Harry and McGonagall left to leave Dumbledore and Alex alone.

"Alex, I know there is something bugging you. What is it?"

"I don't know exactly. But when Malfoy did that to me this morning, it got me scared and now I'm scared and jumpy. I don't know why! I have just risked my life all school year and me and Justin have dealt with magical creatures ever since I was 7, at the same time I had to do dangerous things since I started at this school last year and when I was at Wiztech when I was 11. Why is it now, that this little thing scares the crap out of me?" Alex buried her head in her hands and let a tear fall.

"Alex" Dumbledore whispered and rubbed her back. He felt her jump but didn't move, all she did was relax, "this year has been the worst of all of it so far. All the fears of the earlier events are catching up not and hitting you like a ton of bricks. Just don't push Harry, Ron, Hermione and your brothers away. Me and McGonagall are here if you need us ok?" Alex nodded and hugged him. He hugged her back and wrapped her up in his cloak. To him, Alex looked like a little 5 year old girl scared of a thunderstorm.

"Where are mom and dad?"

"They are at home. Professor Burbage is back, so she took over and Jerry and Theresa are at home. They do know what happened. They were there that night" Alex nodded weakly.

"Where do I go when school's out?"

"Back home. I put protective spells around so no wizard, but your friends could find you guys. Just used your portal at home to send letters, and I'll teach your friends a spell to send letters and they will go in with your wizard mail" Alex nodded and smiled

"Ok. You're the best Dumbledore" Dumbledore smiled as Alex closed her eyes and fell asleep.

~HP & WOWP~

At the same time, Hermione, Ron, Justin and Max are sitting at the fire as Harry and McGonagall walked in. Harry and McGonagall smiled at them weakly.

"Ok guys. Head up to bed. I will stay up until Alex comes in. Now go up" the guys all walked up the stairs and Hermione stayed sitting, "Hermione, go up to bed" Hermione sighed and did what she was told.

~HP & WOWP~

The last week of school arrived and Alex has slowly gotten back to normal, but what would you do if you lost people you love? I know I would be upset for a long time. Well, Alex is sitting in the library studying for her last exam… Transfiguration. Hermione is sitting across from Alex with Ron on her right and Harry on the left side of Alex. Alex and Harry have been talking and they are thinking about dating again. They both said that they love each other still. Everyone, besides Alex, has noticed Alex is still wearing the jewelry that Harry gave her last Christmas. Hermione smiled knowing Alex and Harry will be dating again by either the end of the summer or the beginning of the school year. As the 4 of them studied, Justin and Max walked over.

"Oooh… you guys still have an exam. You know, everyone in this school is done, but your Transfiguration class" Alex, Harry, Ron and Hermione rolled their eyes. Hermione and Justin did finally break up a few months back just 10 minutes before finding out that Alex and Harry were going to be in the Triwizard Tournament. Max smiled and sat down beside Alex and hugged her.

"I'm still sorry" Max whispered and Alex pushed him off the chair and stood up. Alex sat down on Max's stomach and relaxed. Everyone started to laugh as Max pushed Alex off and the 2 of them started to wrestle. 5 minutes later, Alex got Max flat on his back and she straddled him. She smirked when he tried to get up. He finally pushed her off and Justin forced her into her seat.

"Study and me and Max will leave" Justin dragged Max out of the library and Alex crossed her arms.

"I hate school. Have I ever told you that?" Alex asked everyone and they all smiled and rolled their eyes.

~HP & WOWP~

Summer has now started and Alex is at her New York home. She is currently sitting on the couch, in shorts and t-shirt, with Max and Justin. Justin has already forced them to do their summer homework and this year, Justin is in his 6th year, and Max is in his 4th with Ginny. As for Alex, she, Hermione, Ron and Harry are in their 5th year. Fred and George are going into their final year so they are the oldest out of their group. To Alex, the twins are like her older brothers and Ginny is her younger sister. As the Russo's sat on the couch, they are watching Wipeout. Alex loves watching people wipeout and get hurt. It's 2pm and in 2 hours, the Russo's will be going on a trip to L.A, California as a family trip. The Weasley's and Hermione will be joining and to be honest, Harry will be joining as well, surprisingly.

As the time arrived, the Weasley's arrived, and Arthur disappeared to go get Hermione and Harry. Once the 3 of them arrived and the suitcases were shrunken and put away, they all held hands and disappeared. They all popped out at the Hollywood sign and headed down to the city.

As they arrived to the city, Hermione, Ginny, Theresa, Molly and Alex walked off to stalk random celebrities. As for the guys they all just headed to get food. Harry and Alex both want to spend time together, so they just need to find a way to get to talk.

Later that night, when everyone was asleep in the hotel rooms they rented out, Harry gave a note to Hermione to give to Alex, saying to meet him on balcony above pool at midnight. Midnight arrived and Alex walked out to see Harry. They both smiled at each other, and looked out at the moon's reflection on the water.

"Would you like to take a walk on the beach?" Harry asked holding his hand out to Alex. Alex nodded and took his hand. The hotel is on the beach so all they have to do is climb down the ladder Alex conjured up and climb over the fence of the pool, and then you are on the beach. Harry climb down the ladder and Alex fallowed. Once they both climbed over the fence of the pool they started to walk hand-in-hand on the beach. They sat down on the pier and watched the waves come in and out, "may I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"Will you be my girlfriend again?"

"I love to… again" Alex stuck her tongue out at Harry and he pulled her onto him lap gently, "would you like to know a song I made up?"

"Of course"

"Ok here it is! Justin Bieber eats babies, babies, babies. Justin Bieber has rabies, rabies, rabies. Justin Bieber hates ladies, ladies, ladies. Thought you always be mine, mine! That's it" Alex and Harry started to laugh and Alex curled into a ball on his lap, "you do know, that I have always loved you… right?" Alex looked up at Harry

"As a friend or more?"

"More"

"I'm always in love with you and always will be"

"Me too" Harry pulled out a black box and opened it. Inside was a ring…

"Alex, I always loved you and always will. I know our love is true and will last forever. Inside this box is a promise ring. It's a promise that I will always love you, forever and for always. Will you accept the promise ring?"

"I… I… uhh…" Alex stutter surprised until she snapped out of it, "I would love to" Harry slipped the ring onto her left finger and kissed her cheek.

"I love you"

"I love you too" they kissed and then headed back to the hotel.

The song I made up is a song that popped into my head a month ago when Josh and I were on the bus listening to Justin Bieber's song 'Baby'. Hoped you liked it! : D Oh, and i'm done that stupid letter, and this is what it says!

Dear Mrs. MacLaughlin,

I am a full time student according to the handbook. I have completed all my compulsory courses for all grades. I hope to drop ADA4MI and substitute a study hall because I started this course approximately 5 weeks after it started, and I am unable to catch up. I will not be in the halls to disturb other classes and will attend seru if I need extra help with Spanish or the library at those times.

The drama class being dropped due to my late start in February-March 2011. I am unable to catch up to the rest of the class and do not want to hold up my classmates in drama. The drama class times can be used to focus on the balance of the courses.

In this period, I will be in the school and studying for my other classes. I will not be in the halls during this class or disturbing other classes going on at this time.

Sincerely,

Toni Yeats

Anyway, review please! Oh, and today (March 23, 2011. Took 2 days to finish this chapter) is a snow day. Well… not really. Mine and Josh's bus turned around because the roads were really bad and many buses just kept going. But our bus turned around and we all got the day off, just the people on our bus. The other buses kept going and they all had a school day. Josh says that he is happy today is a snow day for our bus and he hopes that his dad will get home safely. Josh and I are hoping he is still here on Friday so he can see some on Suite Life Movie. Anyway, that is what happened today. We called into Country 93, we made Donna Henry laugh and we had fun. I will have to print of the letter for the principal tomorrow to get out of Drama and if it doesn't work, I will just keep skipping to focus on my other classes. Anyway, please review!
