The next morning everyone was having breakfast like any normal day. Harry and Justin kept looking to each other both too nervous to be the first one to ask the question. "So um…today is Friday, last day of classes." Justin started nervously. "Yes, we know that." Alex said. "It's just that um…well we don't have to worry about homework or curfew or anything." Harry added. Hermione and Alex shared a look and they both shrugged. "What's gotten into you two? Are you under some kind of spell." "Yeah, the love spell." Harry muttered hoping nobody heard. But Alex did and smiled. She leaned over and whispered something in Hermione's ear. They both giggled and looked to the guys. "Yes, we will go out with you." The both said at the same time. "How did you know?" Harry asked. "When my brother gets all nervous like this, it only means one thing…girls." Alex answered teasingly. Justin laughed nervously. "What do you mean ner-nervous. I'm not..not nervous." Alex and Hermione just giggled. "We will go out with you, pick us up at 7 tonight and take us wherever you want." Hermione answered. "Uh yeah…sounds like a plan." Harry nodded. The girls got up and left the table. "What just happen?" Justin asked. "I honestly have no idea." Harry answered. "You two just got yourselves a date." Ron said laughing at their shock. "Where are you going to take them." "Uh…." Justin answered. Ron laughed. "Hogsmeade, there is lots to do around there." Harry answered. "Perfect…what is that?" Justin asked. "It's like an outdoor shopping malls. Don't worry it will be fun." "I hope so, none of my date I've ever been on have gone well." Justin mumbled. "Well this one will. I have this feeling it's going to be just fine." Harry said confidently.
7:00 came faster than the girls or guys would have liked. It was 6:58 and neither of them were 100% ready. They guys waited downstairs in the common room while the girls were upstairs getting ready. "They're late. That's a bad sign." Justin said. "Justin, woman are always fashionably late. Plus they said 7 but in woman speak it means 7:30." Harry chuckled.
A couples minutes later the girls came downstairs. They were both dressed casually but had a nice hair dew and wore light make-up on their faces. "Wow, you look great." Justin said to Hermione. "Thank you, you look handsome." Hermione said softly blushing. "Alex you look…you look….wow." Alex blushed softly. "Thanks, I wasn't sure if I should wear a dress or not. I was hoping for not because I hate wearing dresses but I…" Alex stopped and blushed more."Sorry, I'm rambling." Harry chuckled. "It's all right. You look perfect. We aren't going anywhere fancy." The girls came down the stairs. Justin grabbed Hermione's hand and Harry took Alex's, making sure not to touch her bad hand. They left the common room and headed to their destination.
They arrived at Hogsmeade shortly after and went into The Three Broomsticks. They went inside and sat down at the table. Alex and Justin looked at the menu as if it was written in a different language. "Um…what…I…I don't know what to get." Alex said with a blush. "Neither do I." Justin answered. "It's ok, we will order for the two of you." Harry said. Harry ordered a few butter beers and some food for them eat. "Uh… Harry, Justin and I are underage, we can't have beer." Harry chuckled. "It's just a fancy drink served in a beer cup, that's it. It's like uh…sparking grape juice or something like that." "Oh, I knew that." Alex blushed. "It's ok, this all this new to you." Harry smiled. "So, Justin what kind of magic do you guys have in New York." "Same as yours, well minus the illegal ones, just different names for them." "I once made Justin's zit come to life, it was awesome!" Alex laughed. "Maybe for you, but I was on date!" Justin groaned. "How…why..I…" Harry asked. Alex giggled. "It was an honest mistake. I was trying to make it go away and it went wrong, it's not my fault." "You did it on purpose and you know it." "Me? Couldn't be." Justin chuckled and started to tickle her sides. "Admit it, you did it on purpose, admit it!" Alex giggles and squirms. "Stop it, no I didn't." "I won't stop until you admit it!" Alex continues to giggle and squirm. "Ha-ha-Ha-Harry! Hehehehelp!" "OK, hang on, I'll help." Harry pointed his wand at her. "Rictusempra" Alex squealed loudly causing everyone to look at them. "No! Harry!" Justin laughed. "Yes!" "Hermione!" Alex gasped through giggles. "Stop them!" Hermione giggled and shook her head. "If I help you, I'll be their next victim." "Justin where are her ticklish spots." Harry asked. "Her sides are one and then her armpits." Justin answered. Harry moved his wand till it was at her arms, causing Alex to laugh harder keeling over every which way. "Her, stomach, her ribs." Justin said tickling her ribs as Harry moved the wand to her stomach. Alex was too helpless with hysterical giggles to speak anymore. "She has more but if I we don't stop she'll pass out." Justin laughed. Harry and Justin both stopped. Alex panted. "I hate you." Boy guys laughed. Their food arrived and everyone started to eat. "So, what are your guy's plans for the Holidays?" Harry asked taking a bite of his food. "We're going home, getting out of this place and away from these people." Alex said. "…Opps, sorry I didn't mean it like that." "It's ok, we understand, you're not staying with the Wesley's?" "NO!" Alex shrieked. "Alex, would rather not go back there because of what Ginny did to her." Justin explained. "I understand, if it helps, Hermione and I always spend Christmas and New Years with them and it is all fine." Alex shrugged. "I want to see my dad…After what I remembered I…I want to see him." Justin rubbed her back. "Alex has been feeling very home sick and so we thought it best to go back to New York for the Holidays." "It's ok with us, but if you do decide to stay, I'll help keep Ginny away from you." Harry said nicely. Alex smiled softly and nodded. "Thank you." She feels butterflies tickle her stomach making her blush.
Once they all finish their meal, Justin and Harry pay for the themselves and the girls. "Where to next?" Alex asked as they all get up to leave. "Desert." Harry answered. "Yay!" Alex squealed. Everyone laughed. Harry and Alex held hands as Justin and Hermione held hands. "Hermione, I just wanted to tell you thanks, Alex always tells me how you help her at night when she gets scared and always make sure she feels safe and comfortable before heading off to bed, I just wanted to let you know I appreciate it." Justin said as they walked. Hermione smiled and nodded. "I'm glad I can help. Like I've said, I know how scary and hard it is your first year here. I didn't want Alex to feel alone and scared. So I'm doing what I can to help her." "Oh so it wasn't just about getting close to me." Justin teased. Hermione giggled. "Shhh, you're not supposed to know that." They both laughed. "No, but in all honestly, Justin, I love both you and your sister. I feel like Alex is my own sister and I have need to protect her and make her feel safe." "Did you just say you loved me?" Justin asked. Hermione froze as they both stopped walking. "Um…I…maybe…" "I surely hope you did because I…I love you too." They both looked into each other's eyes and leaned in kissing passionately. Harry and Alex kept walking not knowing what was going on. Justin and Hermione pulled away and both blushed. "SO…" Justin said. "So…" Hermione continued. "Does this…I mean, are you….Um…will you be my girlfriend?" Justin stumbled out. Hermione giggled and nodded. "I'd love too." They kissed again and then Justin lifted Hermione up by the waist and spun her around. Hermione squealed in giggles. "Justin, stop it, put me down!" Justin chuckled and set her back down on her feet. They locked hands again and ran to catch up with the others.
With Alex aand Harry a few minute before. They were walking hand in hand when Alex suddenly stopped. "What's wrong?" Harry asked. "I just…this is the first time in…Months that I haven't been scared of being without Justin. I feel safe and at ease with you. A few months ago the only way I'd feel that was with Justin." "That's good. It means you're getting comfortable here and feeling more independent, you no longer need Justin with you feel safe. That's great." Alex nodded. "It's all thanks to you, you've managed to make me feel so comfortable and safe, even without trying. You were my best friend and you were there for me against Ginny and Malfoy, but you also understand a lot of what I'm going through right now, it's nice having someone who understands me." Harry smiled. "You're a special girl, Alex. I've noticed that about you the second I met you." Alex blushed. Harry chuckled. "I really like you, Alex. I was wondering if maybe you'd..you'd want to be my girlfriend?" Alex smiled. "Yes, I'd love to be your girlfriend." They shared a kiss on the lips. Hermione and Justin came over and smirked. They cleared their through throats causing the two of them to break apart. Alex blushed. "It's ok, we just did the same thing." Hermione said. "Looks like we all just got the only desert we need." Justin joked. "No!" Alex pouted. "I want candy, I want candy!" Everyone laughed. "Relax, we're going to get you your candy." Harry said. The couples locked hands and headed to HoneyDukes. Alex and Justin looked at all the different types of candy and couldn't help but be disgusted on the names. Harry and Hermione chuckled. "The names are just for fun, they are actually really good." "Uh…I think I'll let you order for me again." Alex answered. "Yeah me too." Justin nodded. "All right." Harry laughed.
He and Hermione gathered a few different candies and went to buy them. Then went back outside and sat down on the bench.
"OK, we've got Chocoballs, Choco-Loco Chocolate Skeleton, and lastly Fudge Flies."
Justin and Alex looked grossed out. Hermione and Harry laughed. "Just try it."
They each took a Chocoball and bit into it. They both moaned in pleasure. "This is amazing!" Alex moaned.
"It's wonderful." Justin nodded.
"See, it's not as bad as it sounds."
They both nodded. "I want more!" Alex squealed.
Harry laughed and handed her another one. As everyone was talking Alex got up and sneakingly made a snowball from the snow on the ground and threw it at them.
It hit Harry making him jump. "What the….That's it Russo it's on now."
Everyone quickly got up and prepared for battle! Snowballs were flying from every direction hitting everyone at least once as they all laughed and squealed.
Of course they all used certain spells to help them.
"Justin, what do you say we do girls against the boys?"
Justin nodded as Harry rushed over to his snow fort to hide behind. "What's the plan?"
"Ambush."
They both nodded and stood up and made a mad dash toward Alex's snow fort where both Hermione and Alex were hiding.
Alex and Hermione heard them coming and began pelting them with snowballs as the guys did the same to the girls.
Once Justin was out of snowballs he ran at Hermione and tackled her to the ground. She squealed and laughed. Justin took a handful of snow and covered her face with it making her squeal in laughter.
"NO! It's cold!" she squealed. Justin laughed and started to tickle her.
Harry ran out of snowballs so he ran at Alex and tackled her to the ground and threw snow at her face. As she squealed and laughed too. She fought back and shoved snow into his face too.
"Justin, what do I do?"
"Go for her stomach!" Justin yelled over Hermione's screaming and laughing as he continued to tickle her.
Harry lifted Alex's jacket and shirt just above her belly button and started to tickle her stomach. Alex screamed and started to laugh and try to fight him away.
Everyone was laughing and having a good time. Justin was happy to finally see Alex having fun and enjoying life again. Maybe their new life here wasn't going to be so bad after all.
Just then Ron came running over. "Alex, Justin, guess what?"
The tickle fights and laughter stopped as everyone stood up
"What Ron?" Alex asked.
"Mum, wants to know what you want for Christmas, you're spending it here with us!"
Alex froze and went deathly pale. How would she survive Christmas with Ginny, how would she survive without seeing her mom and dad again? How would she survive this Christmas at all?
