Chapter: 10 Revelation
The next few weeks flew by and Alexia steadily drank more until the dreaded night, Halloween. On this night, 14 years ago, Lily and James Potter died. She woke up and looked over at her bedside table to the clock.
"6 o'clock. . ." She said, rolling over, "It's. . . HALLOWEEN!"
She pulled off her blankets and hopped out. "I don't have a costume!"
In the past, Alexia and one of her bests friends, Nikolas 'Blacky' Jones, dressed up and had a huge haunted house at Jim's bar.
She ran over to her closet and pulled open the door.
"Why the hell don't I have any costumes here!" She said, rummaging through the clothes, "I really need to clean this closet up."
She grabbed a flashlight and stepped inside "Hhmm. . .shoe boxes. . . let's take a look see."
She opened a box and looked inside. It was a box were she had kept special things from her past. She laughed when she saw the first thing sticking out of the box. It was a black comb from Lucius Malfoy.
~FLASHBACK~
"LEX! LEX!" Yelled Lucius in their 6th year. "I noticed your hair wasn't up to par today. Here, have my comb. . .It's my favorite!" He said, giving her the cheesey love-me-I'm-Lucius grin.
~END FLASHBACK~
She took out the comb and moved to the couch. Alexia put the comb on the table. She looked in the box again, at more stuff. She saw a baby book. She threw her head back, and laughed, remembering a certain moment from the past.
~FLASHBACK~
"You know what I'm thinking of making for Harry? A baby book!" Alexia said to James.
"What's that?" He asked.
"Oh, a tiny book, about yay big." Sirius said, putting his hands about 3 inches apart.
~END FLASHBACK~
~TESSA'S HOUSE~
Tessa Roberts flopped down on her couch and sighed.
"Oh my god, not again. Why does Halloween come so soon? Every year, forced to give out candy to snot nosed little creeps who don't know how good they've got it."
She got up and checked herself in the mirror. "I'm looking good for just after a full moon" She said, smirking.
There was a knock at the door. She went over, expecting it to be more kids wanting chocolate. She held out her hand with the candy in it, not looking at who it was.
"Why thank you!"
~HOGWARTS~
"Draco!" Yelled Harry, trying to catch up to him. Draco stopped and turned around.
"Hey Potter." He waited for him to catch up and started walking again.
"Umm. . .Malfoy? Wanna. . .come to the common room?" Harry asked.
"Why?" He asked, quirking his eyebrow.
"Because. . .i thought we'd. . .all be friends. . ."
"Is Hermione going to be there?"
"Yes. . .why?" Asked Harry, giving him a curious look.
"No reason. . ." Draco said quickly.
Harry raised an eyebrow and they began walking in comfortable silence. The reached the Gryffindor Common room, and sat down on the couch. The only people who were in there were Ron and Ginny, who were playing wizard's chess.
"Check!" Said Ron as he took one of Ginny's pawns, taking it down with a swipe of the knights sword.
"Quite barbaric, really." Draco said, smirking, as he went to sit down on the couch beside Ginny.
"Hey Draco. . ." Said Hermione, as she walked into the Common room, pretending not to have heard Draco's comment.
He looked at her, "Hey" and he quickly looked down at his lap.
"You know what I've come to realize?" Said Hermione, interrupting the silence.
"No, and what would that be?" Asked Ron.
"We all have roles." She said, receiving questioning looks. "I'm the smart one, Harry's the brave one, Ron's the funny one, Ginny's the shy one, and Draco's the. . ."
"The root of all evil? Well. . .I guess it's nice to be in a starring role." Draco cut in.
"I think she was going to say the hot one. . ." Ginny exclaimed, then quickly turned red after she realized what she had said.
Draco quirked an eyebrow and smirked, "Why thank you!"
Hermione glared at Ginny.

Alexia looked at her small silver watch and smoothed a hand over her dress.
"Hello." Said her date, Jack Thomson. "Shall we?" She nodded.
Once they got inside , Jack pulled out a chair for himself. Alexia stood there, waiting for him to pull out her chair. She stood there, until he asked her if she was going to sit down.
"Well are you going to stand there all night, or sit down?" He said in a snooty voice.
She gave him a look and smugly sat down. Madam Rosemerta came to the table with menus.
"Can I get you anything to drink?" She asked, handing them both menus.
"Nothing alchoholic. Alchohol is for the weak minded." Said Jack.
"I'll have a martini, very dry, skip the olives. . .they take up too much room." She said, smirking at Jack.
Madam Rosemerta raised an eyebrow at her and nodded, turning to him. "And you?"
"I'll just have a butterbeer."
i Oh my god. . .How old is he? 14? /i
"Alright dears, I'll be back in a few!" She ran off to the kitchen.
"So. . ." Alexia said, trying to make conversation.
"What kind of music are you into?" He asked, fiddling with his watch. (Wizex!)
"Well, the classics. . ."
"OH! You mean like Beethoven, and Motzart?"
"Well. . .no. . .i was talking about Led Zepplin, Kiss, Aerosmith and Pearl Jam. You know, the classics."
"Hmm. . .right" He said, looking around. "Those are muggle bands, right? Don't you like, REAL classics? Like. . .Beethoven, Motzart, and Brahms?"
"Well, his seventh symphony really gets to me"
"Brahms didn't make a seventh" he said looking at her confused.
"Maybe it was a bootleg" she said shrugging.
Just then, Madam Rosmerta came with their drinks.
"Would you like to order your good now. . .or later?"
"Later, please." Alexia said, smiling.
Rosemerta gave her a smile and walked back into the kitchen.
"So. . ." He started.
This was going to be a long night.

"Why thank you!" Came a voice Tessa hadn't heard in 14 years. . .
"SIRIUS? Oh. . . my. . . god!" She screamed and tried to slam the door to call the police.
A hand shot out and held the door open. "Really Tessa" Said the voice of Tessa's ex-boyfriend, Remus Lupin.
"Remus" Tessa said, her voice softening.
"Good to see I haven't been forgotten" He said smiling.
"No. . .I. . .I."
"Listen, I'd hate to interrupt but I am wanted dead or alive so could I come in?"
"Of course." She said, opening the door.
Once inside, the 2 men looked around the modest one bedroom apartment with dark blue carpet and light blue walls. Remus and Sirius sat on the black couch.
"Tessa, sit down." Sirius said after realizing she hadn't sat down quite yet. She looked at Remus and he nodded at her.
She sat down and Sirius launched into his story.
"And now You, Sirius, and I must leave for Hogwarts. So go pack." Remus said at the end.
"Alright. . .I guess." Tessa walked into her room and started packing her suitcase.
When she came out, her short dirty blonde hair was in a ponytail and wearing dark blue jeans and a light pink sweater making her brown eyes lighter.
Remus pulled out a small piece of trash. Everyone put their finger on it and disappeared.

They arrived at Alexia's room at Hogwarts.
"Well. . .she certainly keeps it clean." Tessa said looking around. There were muffled voices outside the door, Sirius went up to the door and listened.
"How about a night cap?" Said a male voice, slyly.
"You know I have to work in the morning." A voice that was unmistakably.
"You sure?" Said the male voice.
Sirius started to turn red in anger.
"I'm positive." With that, she opened the door and quickly closed the door behind her.
"Where have you been, woman!" Sirius exclaimed as soon as she shut the door.
(A/N: Wow.sorry for the very long wait.but we have an excuse! It's not completely done but.we made a site dedicated to our story and other odd things that we like.check it out! you won't regret it! Pictures, promos, weddings, couples. . .everything! THANK YOU!)
