Chapter the third: Sweet Dreams
By: Alexis McLean
Disclaimer: The only character in the story that is mine is Alexis.. for now.
While asleep, Alexis found herself having sweet dreams about certain new faces she had met earlier that day. The first face she recognized, even though it was sub-conscientiously, was that of the flaming red-haired boy, Ron. He gave you one of his warm, good-natured smiles. It was the type of smile that made the heart melt. She smiled slyly in her sleep and continued with her dream. The next faces that jumped out at her was of the gorgeous, blond haired boy she had locked eyes with. Again, in her dream, they locked eyes, and she felt as if the gaze would never end. Truth be told, she didn't think she wanted it to.
"Wake up Sugar, it's time for school," the alarm clock beside her bed told Alexis as the early morning sun poured into her room through the window. Feeling as though she had just fallen asleep, Alexis hesitated in opening her eyes. Once she had, she immediately regretted it. Rubbing her eyes, she slipped out of bed and gathered her robes. Once dressed, she took one last look in the mirror. Gazing at her reflection, she saw her deep brown eyes staring back at her. A couple strands of her sandy brown hair had been pulled back in a half ponytail. She had applied a small amount of make-up, just enough to put some color on her face. Satisfied with her appearance, she grabbed her books and headed down into the common room. There, she saw Ron and his two friends getting ready to leave. Seeing her, Ron waved politely.
"You wanna walk with us?" he asked. Alexis smiled and ran up to meet them.
They walked to the great hall together for breakfast, where they were handed their new class schedules. Looking it over, Alexis heard large groans of displeasure from all three of the people sitting next to her. Without even asking, she quickly found out what had caused them.
"Double potions with Slytherin again? Don't we ever get a break from them?" Alexis heard the boy to the left of Ron sigh. Glancing back at her schedule, Alexis saw that they did indeed have double potions with the Slytherins, first class of the day as a matter of fact. Alexis' eyes lit up.
"Oooooh, I absolutely LOVE potions! It's my favorite class!" she exclaimed. It was now Ron's turn to speak.
"It won't be for long, after Snape's through with you," he said gloomily, as if this Snape person was the Spawn of Satan. She was soon to find out, however, that this thought wasn't exactly wrong..
A/N: ok, I know my chapters are short, but hopefully after reading a while, you'll reply. And by the way, in case it wasn't obvious, PLEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEE reply! Even if you don't like it, I guess I could stand some flames. At least it lets me know that somebody has read it. Plus, constructive criticism could help me figure out what's wrong with the story. Thank you to the *two* people that have replied so far. I will be updating soon.
