Part Nine:
Fairydust


" Come on Harry! I'm hungry! Lets go get some breakfast." Harry heard Ron say, although he sounded very far away.

"Harry!" he said again, now shaking him.

"I'm up AUNT PETUNIA! I'm up!" said Harry, Ron glaring at him for calling him by his muggle aunts name.Harry got up, dressed, and joined his friends in the common room.Alex ran up to him saying, "Happy Thanksgiving!"

"What," he asked,"is Thanksgiving?"

" It's when the Americans escaped from you guys over here in England!" she said." We always celebrate this day by eatin' turkey and stuffin' at my house."

" Ooooooo-kaaayyyy." he said.
They made their way to the great hall, taking their usual seats at the Gryffindor table.Alex seemed very excited about something.

"Whats up?" he said, deciding to use one of Alex's American phrases.

" Hold on a minute, you're about to find out." she said.Reese was now coming over to them, carrying a package in his hand. Sam saw them, and with her friends Trinity and Megan she made her way over to them.

"Good morning Alex! Here's the stuff you asked me for last night, and a plate of turkey and stuffing for you that I had the house elves make." Reese said, handing Alex a small plate, and the tiny package.

"And Sam!" Reese said to his other daughter," I have some Thanksgiving food for you too."and he handed her a plate.

" Daddy, did you give Alex-"

"Yes I did and I have some for you too." he said pointing his wand into thin air and making another package appear.Sam snatched it out of the air and ran off with her friends.

" Well, see ya'll in class!" he said walking away.

" What's that?" Ron asked.

"Fairydust!"

"What!?" they all said

"Fairydust. Every fith birthday, me and Sam begin to let off fairy dust when we fly for that one day. Daddy always bottles it for us. It will make any regular witch or wizard able to temorarily fly!" she said, excitedly.

"Well, lets try it out!"said Ron. So they went outside next to the lake.

"Okay. Now all it takes is a small amount.It should last you a while. Take a pinch of it and sprinkle it over your head. " said Alex. Everyone took a small amount from their bottle, and sprinkled it over their heads. Nothing happened.

"I don't get it." said Ron.

" Aaaaaauuugggggggghhhhhhh!!!!" screemed Hermione.

" Oh man! Go Hermione!!"said Alex. Hermione was now floating in the air. She was flying.

"How did you do that?" said Harry.

" I just pictured myself flying, and I flew!" Hermione yelled down to them.

" Okay. Here goes." Ron shut his eyes. He floated three feet off the ground.

" Is it working?" he asked.

" Yes! It is!" cried Harry.

" Whoa!" Ron said, opening his eyes, then flying up toward Hermione.

" Come on Harry! Lets get to gittin!" said Alex, who was hovering a foot off the ground.

" All right." he said. He pictured himself in the air flying with Alex. He felt someone grab hold of his hand.

" Come on! They're getting ahead of us!" Alex said, taking Harrys hand and leading him toward Ron and Hermione. He was amazed at how easy it was for her to fly through the air so smoothly. He himself was having troubles. They met up with Ron and Hermione who were looking into one of the windows.

" What chya lookin' at?" said Alex.

"Come here. Be quiet, and stay low. You'll never believe this!" said Ron. Alex and Harry flew over to them. Harry looked in the window.

" Oh my-!" Alex whispered, laughing quietly. Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson were inside one of the empty classrooms.

Kissing.

" Watch this." Alex said. She cupped her hands over her mouth.

" Professor, I really need to talk to you about some of these grades. Here-we can go into this classroom." Alex said. But they didn't here her voice coming from her, but it sounded like it was coming from inside the school. And it sounded like Professor Flitwick. Malfoy and Pansy jumped. They began to run out of the room. Alex had turned over on her back, laughing.

" He- he. Did you-he-he-see them. They were like-he-he-about to fog up the -he- windows with the way they were making out!" she said between laughs. Harry, along with everyone else, was laughing along with her.

" Oh wait! Check this!" Alex said. She turned her back to them.

" Oh Draco! Oh! Oh!" she had her arms wrapped around herself like she was giving herself a hug. Only she was rubbing her hands up and down her own back, which made it look as if someone had their arms around her. Everyone burst into giggles. After they had calmed down, they started flying toward the ground.

"Oh no! We had better hurry it up guys. I didn't know we had been up here this long. The dust is about to wear off! Hurry!" Alex said. Harry Ron and Hermione started to fly toward the ground. But before they got there, Ron began to fall.

" AAAAAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!" he screemed. Alex went at super sonic speed to the ground. She got there before Ron did. But just by a hair. Ron ended up falling right on top of her. When Harry was about five feet from the ground, his dust wore off and he fell the rest of the way. Hermione right behind him. When they had gotten up they noticed Ron and Alex. Ron was raising himself off her. She moaned.

" God Ron. I had no idea you weighed that much." she said, rolling over onto her stomach and trying to raise herself up.

" Here." Harry said, grabbing hold of her arms and helping her up. When she raised her head after Harry helping her up they were looking each other face to face. Harry stared at her eyes,at the little moons and stars in them. She stared back. They didn't say anything. Harry felt himself inching closer to her. She was moving closer to him.

" Alex, are you okay?!" Ron asked. Alex broke away from her trance.

" Yeah-yeah I'm fine." she said. She gave Harry one more glance before they went back into the school. Little did they know that Sam had given her friends some faurydust too, and they were hovering nearby, having seen evrything.

" Stupid Ron! Why can't he mind his own buisness, just once?!" Sam exclaimed.

" He ruined everything!" Trinity said.

" Yeah they were about to kiss!" said Megan.

" We have to get those two together one way or another." Sam said. The eleven year olds all gave each other eveil grins.
