Many months have passed since summer. It was a few days before Christmas.
Sirius plucked up the courage to ask Alexandra to visit Hogsmeade with him, and on the day before Christmas, Alexandra went to Hogsmeade with Sirius. 'Woah,' exclaimed Sirius, staring at Alexandra.
Alexandra decided to wear a light purple blouse with a dark violet jacket and a pair of dark orchid pants. She didn't tie her hair up-she prefer to let it swing wildly in the wind. Boys wolf-whistled when she passed, and girls swooned at Sirius, trying to catch his attention.
Alexandra stopped and scanned Sirius thoroughly. Sirius was wearing a shirt and a jacket. Although not as expensive as some boy's tuxedo, it fitted his wild characteristics. Alexandra blushed slightly as Sirius smirked and kissed her on the lips. Then they set off to Hogsmeade.
They decided to visit Shrieking Shack, the place where the Marauders hid Remus when he turned into a werewolf.
Alexandra was just listening to Sirius talking about how much fun they had when she saw Regulus walking towards them. Alexandra nudged Sirius and pointed to Regulus. 'What are you doing here, Regulus?' called Sirius.
Regulus didn't reply. Instead, he kept on walking towards them. He was staring at them with a haunted expression on his face. Alexandra saw that his eyes flashed scarlet for a moment...
Alexandra gasped. She knows that expression. It might be, no, it couldn't have been, could it?
Regulus was approaching them. Alexandra saw him plunge into his robes and without thinking, she cried, 'Protego!'
A wide shield appeared in front of Alexandra and Sirius, blocking Regulus's attack. A shot of green light shot from Regulus's wand and broke the shield. Alexandra immediately knew that something was wrong. No way can Regulus break my shield, she thought. She aimed a Stunner at Regulus. Sirius also whipped out his wand and shot a Full-Body Bind Curse at Regulus.
Soon, Alexandra found that the battle was getting intense. Some curses missed her by inches. She drew back and shouted, 'Avada Kedavra!' It was her first time in her life that she yelled this Unforgivable Curse. Regulus dodged it and sent another curse flying towards her.
'Sirius, forget hexes and spells!' Alexandra screamed as she sent another Killing Curse at Regulus, 'Use the Unforgivable Curses!'
Sirius sent a Cruciatus Curse at Regulus. He staggered and then sent a Killing Curse at Sirius. Sirius conjuncted a shield in front of him. But the Killing Curse blasted the shield apart. Sirius was flung into the air, and when he landed, his eyes were closed and his face was pale. He seemed to have died.
Alexandra couldn't run towards Sirius to check his wound. No, not in a time like this. She kept sending curses after curses at Regulus. But she was finally hit by one.
As Alexandra fell to the rough ground, she only had one wish. She wished that she could have a guardian, like Albus Dumbledore, who can help her.
Maybe because she was too desperate, she cried the only spell that came into her mind, 'Expecto Patronum!'
A bear-like hound and a Black Mamba burst out of her wand. They charged towards Regulus. Then there was an explosion, and Alexandra knew no more.
