Ah, everything is solved...well maybe not everything. Okay, so Alex is sleeping right now. So she'll wake up sooner or later. Anyways, enjoy!
It's the Blood
During the whole day, Oliver couldn't stop thinking of Alex. He almost got in trouble in Charms class because he wasn't paying attention to Professor Flitwick. When he went up to Gryffindor Tower before lunch, in the common room he saw a girl in her robes walking down the stairs. It was Alex she looked like she just woke up with her hair tied up.
"Alex?" said Oliver. The common room was partly filled. She looked up and gave a big smile. Oliver noticed her smile and ran to her. She lifted her up and hugged her like they've been apart forever. "I missed you so much." He said as he put her down.
"I missed you too. How long has it been?" Alex asked.
"Probably over a week...I don't actually care! As long as you're here with me!" Oliver smiled and laughed. Then they kissed. Everyone in the common room was looking at them. Harry was talking to Kris and suddenly stopped. He then started to clap slowly. And everyone clapped with him. Oliver and Alex kissed like no one was there, but after a few seconds, they noticed that everyone was clapping and cheering.
"Yeah!!! Oliver!!!!!!" Fred cheered.
"Come on. Let's go to lunch." Oliver wrapped his arms around her waist and walked together to the entrance hall. Once they reached to the table, they all sat down together.
"Oh yeah, Alex. Did you receive a letter when you were in the hospital wing?" Oliver asked.
"Oh yeah! How'd you know?" Alex wondered.
"I heard you talking when you were in the Forbidden Forest." Harry said.
"Oh well. Anyways yeah I did get a letter, from my mom." Said Alex.
"What was it about?" Oliver asked.
"Well, I don't know if it's good or anything but, oh what the hell. My mom told me that we're not truly blood related. She was fixing our birth certificates, and she came across mine. Most of the Wood family members are blood type O and the rest are A. She said mine was combination of O and A. But more of A than O. Your blood type is O. Some of us are mixed and all, but that means we're not truly related. Our blood says it all. We are far distant relatives and that makes us almost not related at all." Alex said.
"So that means, from our blood types, we're not really blood related. You've got more A, so that means, majority, we're almost different people. But of course, we're still related. Right?" Oliver asked. She nodded.
"Oh and, she said that we're still pureblood. Our ancestors are all witches and wizards." Alex added.
"Well that's not bad. So most people won't be treating us badly about being related and all. This makes me feel a lot better." Oliver said as he was putting chicken into his plate.
"Hey, whatever happened to Cho, Malfoy, and his dad?" George asked as he drank some juice from his goblet.
"Oh." Alex said swallowing her food. "Dumbledore will of course punish them. But I think they can get expelled."
"Yeah I agree. The Cruciatus curse is an illegal curse." Fred added.
"You could go to Azkaban for that." Melanie added.
"So Alex, when are you going to start going to classes again?" Cristen asked.
"Oh um, I have to catch up with the work first, then I can start going back to class. But the thing is, I have to do it fast. So teachers are giving me less work to do so I can catch up with everyone else." Alex said.
"Well, at long as you learn something." Hermione added.
After lunch, they all went back to the common room. Alex went straight to a table in the corner full of books. "Well, you guys better get to class, I need to finish a lot of work." Alex said as she sat down and took her quill and dipped it in ink. Everyone left the common room and Alex was left alone. She had to do work for Defense against Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, Arithmancy, Divination, and Charms. There were over 10 sheets of work for every subject, and she had to read on her own to figure out how to do the sheets.
When school ended that day, everyone was crowding in the common room. By then, Alex finished all the sheets for Defense against Dark Arts and Transfiguration class. Hermione stopped by to see what she was working on. "Wow. You're pretty fast." Hermione said staring at all the papers she finished.
"It's not that hard. It's just the reading that's kind of hard." Said Alex. Alex was one of the top students in her year besides Hermione. You could say she was smart, but not a bookworm.
"Reading is not that bad." Hermione said.
"Yeah I know, but it just takes time for me. The sheets are pretty easy." Said Alex continuing sheets for Potions.
"Oh alright then. I'll just go let you work. Call me if you need any help okay?" Hermione told her.
"Ok." Alex replied. Hermione went to the other side of the common room, joining in the conversation of Fred, George, Melanie, Cristen, and Ron. Suddenly Oliver stopped by.
"How are you doing?" Oliver asked.
"I'm fine. How's classes today?" Alex asked as she kept her head down writing as fast as she could, dipping the quill with ink every other paragraph.
"Oh everything is ok. Just in Potions class, Snape nearly through a flask across the room. But that's just Potions. Everything else is ok." Said Oliver.
"That's great." Alex said.
"So...what are you working on now?" he asked.
Alex was just finishing up the last part of her 3^rd Potions sheet. She finished the sheet. "Potions. I have about 9 more sheets to go for potions."
"Oh ok. I'll leave you alone and let you work, you know, for you to concentrate." Oliver said.
"Thanks for the consideration." Alex said as she gave him a kiss and walked away to talk with the rest of the group.
Alex was really stressed. At dinner, she barely talked and ate fast. Oliver didn't have a chance to talk to her, but he understood her. She had to finish all her work so she could go back to a normal day. It was good that it was a Friday so Alex could stay up really late. Oliver gave her a glass of water from time to time for a little break. She worked until 2 o'clock in the morning and fell asleep on the table.
Later that morning, she felt someone tapping her shoulder.
"Alex? Wake up Alex." The voice said. She opened her eyes and her vision became clear. It was Oliver.
"Whoa. I was here the whole time?" Alex asked.
"Yeah, I tried to stay up with you, but by 1:30, I was expecting you to go to sleep. But I just found you here sleeping on the table. You've got to not overwork yourself, it's not healthy." Oliver told her.
"I know." Alex said.
"Come on, let's go down to breakfast." Said Oliver.
