Chapter 3- Head Boy and Girl p
All the Hogwarts students gathered together in the great hall along with the faculty. The sorting hat ceremony cane to an end and disappointingly, Luke was placed in the Hufflepuff House. p
The headmaster, Albus Dumbledore greeted the first years and banged on with the itinerary. It was the same speech every year, stay away from the third corridor on the right hand side and defiantly stay out of the forbidden forest. Then Dumbledore introduced Alec and Bailee as Hogwart's two head students. p
Shortly after the feast, Professor McGonagall showed Alec and Bailee to their new dormitory. Their dormitory was guarded by a portrait of a dragon slayer, Sir Ivan Moore. He held out his sword and pointed it at the three. p
"Password or a fiery death!" He declared. p
"Ericthonius." Professor McGonagall told Sir Ivan. p
Automatically the portrait opened and they entered a very well furnished sitting room. There was a leather sofa and an armchair in front of an enormous stone fire place. On either sides of the room were two staircases. One of the staircases led to Alec's room, which also featured a special door that lead to the Slytherin common room. Same went for Bailee except for her special door lead to the Gryffindor common room. p
"Well, I will leave you two to get settled now." Professor McGonagall announced. p
She bid her students good night and left the dorm. Bailee squealed and ran around the sitting room. p
"This is so neat!" She exclaimed jumping on the sofa. She kicked off her shoes and sat down hugging her knees to her chest. She took out her want and mumbled a few words transforming her into her Pajama's. p
Alec sat in the arm chair and watched her. He couldn't get the kiss out of his mind as he did. Bailee turned and noticed him staring at her. p
"What?" She questioned. p
"Bailee, I have to know. Why did you kiss me?" Alec questioned wrapping his arms around himself. p
"Well, I was just relieved that you- I mean that we were okay. That chubbery was kind of scary, don't you think?" p
"Yeah…" Alec trailed off, wishing that wasn't the reason she kissed him. p
"Are you alright Alec?" p
Alec nodded and rose to his feet, staring at the well lit fire place. p
"Well I am going to bed now, so, erm…goodnight Bailee…" p
"Goodnight." Bailee replied quietly. p
Bailee watched Alec as he slowly walked up the stairs towards his room. He looked back at her as he walked and then snapped his head forward and entered his room, quickly closing the door behind him. Bailee heaved a huge sigh and got to her feet. She decided to go inspect her own room. p
As she lay in bed, she wondered why she kissed Alec. Deep down she knew it wasn't just because of the chubbery. p
The next morning, Bailee had her first assignment as head girl. She woke up early and went to the stables to help Hagrid (game keeper at Hogwarts, and a trusted friend of her father's) feed and clean the mooncalves, afterwards; she took a quick shower and then entered the great hall for breakfast. She greeted all her Gryffindor friends, Michelle Patil and Rooney Chang as she took her seat beside Chutney. p
"I am so glad you're head girl! This way we'll win house cup for sure!" Michelle exclaimed. p
Bailee chuckled before taking a bite of her toast. p
"Yeah!" Rooney agreed messing with his unusual silver blonde hair, "but I'm sorry that you're stuck with Malfoy." p
Bailee stared at Rooney silently. She decided it wasn't worth rising to his bait. She took a sip of pumpkin juice and stared at the Slytherin table. Not much to Bailee's surprise, Alec was staring right at her. She smiled to herself and finished her breakfast. Then she left the great hall, wanting to get a head start on her first class. She also wanted to see if Hagrid need any help. p
She walked outside of the castle towards her Care of Magical Creatures class. p
"The mooncalves are acting up. Got into some poisonous berries I suspect…" Hagrid stated miserably. p
He hung his large head so Bailee couldn't see the tears. br
"Now I don't have a lesson plan." p
"It's okay Hagrid; there are other creatures that we could learn about." Bailee told him. p
Hagrid stared at her briefly and then an idea flashed in his head, "wait here!" br
He grinned and ran off in the direction of the forbidden forest. P
"Where is he going?" Alec inquired as he and his classmates approached Bailee. p
"Dunno." Bailee shrugged. p
"Maybe our class assignment escaped!" Snorted one of the Slytherins, Sam Crabbe. p
Bailee had loathed Sam Crabbe and his friend Curt Goyle since her first year. The pair had spent every second they had tormenting her just because she was a Potter. p
Alec sighed and tried to convince the class that Hagrid would show up. For twenty minutes he tried but it no use, Hagrid wasn't coming. p
"Well he isn't here, I say we leave, twenty minute rule." Curt stated. p
The class cheered, aside from the head students. Bailee frowned as her fellow students ran away, back towards the castle. p
"Ten points will be taken from each house!" Alec shouted. p
"Poor Hagrid…" Bailee moaned. br
She heard loud crunching footsteps and looked up. p
Hagrid had lost track of time as he wandered through the forest. He was in search of his centaur friend, Frenz. But Frenz was nowhere to be found. Hagrid sighed, giving up on finding the four legged creature and walked back towards his hut. Maybe the mooncalves were doing better. p
As he walked he could hear Bailee's voice in the distance. p
"Oh dear…" He mumbled when he noticed that only Bailee and Alec were waiting for him. p
"I'm sorry Hagrid…" Bailee trailed off. p
"Class is cancelled." Hagrid decided. p
He thanked Bailee and Alec for remaining and then went inside his hut. p
"It was his first class of the year and it got cancelled." Bailee sighed as she and Alec headed back to the castle. p
"I know…" Alec replied placing his hand on her shoulder. p
