Yup that's just the beginning of the story so, you'll get to know more later. Anyways, there's a lot more to come! Just you wait and see! Here's chapter 2!
At the Burrow
"A Prefect?" Oliver tried to make sure.
"Aren't Prefects smart people?" Winnie asked.
"Yes Alex is a Prefect and yes Prefects are smart." Alex's mom answered.
"No way, I can't be a…prefect?!" Alex said furiously.
"Alex this is an honor. You should be proud." Her dad said cheerfully.
"I know but, I don't want to be a Prefect. They are all smart and…brainy." Said Alex.
"Alex, you can't withdraw. It's a privilege given to you." Her mom added.
Alex sighed. "I just don't want to be thought of as a brain."
"You won't be, you play Quidditch too, so they won't think you're some geek." Oliver assured her.
"Oliver's right dear, besides, it's a great honor and tons of students know you. There's nothing to worry about." Her mom agreed.
"I guess…"Alex sighed. Suddenly, the phone rang. Oliver was next to the phone, so he picked it up.
"Hello?" Oliver answered.
"Hello. Is Alex there?" the voice asked.
"Um yes, she is. Who is this?" Oliver asked.
"Oliver?!" the voice yelled. It was Hermione.
"Hermione?" he wondered.
"Yeah it's me! Did Alex get the letter?" Hermione asked.
"Oh yeah the letter. Yes she's got it. Congratulations to you too." Said Oliver.
"Oh thank you. Can I please speak to her?" Hermione asked politely.
"Sure." Oliver said. "Alex, it's Hermione." Oliver gave the phone to Alex.
"Hello?" Alex said.
"Alex!" Hermione said.
"Oh hi! How's everything?" Alex asked.
"Oh I'm doing good. You?"
"Oh I'm ok."
"You got the letter from Professor McGonagall right?"
"Oh yeah I did."
"Hey don't be so gloomy, honestly it isn't bad. You get a lot of honors and they have a special bathroom for us!"
"You mean the one Harry snuck into?" Alex asked.
"Yeah. That one."
"Cool."
"Anyways, I called to tell you that there will be a ceremony in the feast after the sorting ritual. So we have to look our best, don't forget our hats, and that we will be showing the first years to the dormitory and telling them the precautions and stuff." Said Hermione.
"Oh alright then."
"Ok then, so that's covered. Oh before I forget, are you going to Ron's house tomorrow?"
"What for?" Alex asked.
"Just a beginning of the year picnic thing. Why don't you come and bring Oliver and Winnie."
"Hmmm, let me ask my mom first." Said Alex. "Um mom, can I go to Ron's house tomorrow, they're having a beginning of the year picnic."
"Oh sure dear, I'll just call Mrs. Weasley later." She said.
"Yeah, I'm going." Alex spoke on the phone again.
"Ok then. Well I have to go now, so see you tomorrow, bye!" Hermione said.
"Bye!" Alex hung up the phone.
"Alex dear, is Winnie and Oliver going with you?" her mom asked.
"Oh yeah they are." Alex answered.
"We're going to Ron's house?" Winnie asked.
"Yeah." Alex said.
"Great, I could see the Weasley twins again, check how they're doing with Quidditch." Oliver said.
"Yeah, everyone's going to be there." Alex said. They all went up to Alex's room to drop of the things they bought.
"Alex, where are my things?" Winnie asked.
"Oh yeah, it's all in here." Alex handed her a bag.
"Thanks." Winnie left and shut the door.
"Where did you put your Firebolt?" Oliver asked.
"Oh it's in my closet. All my Quidditch things are in there." Alex said.
Oliver sat on her bed and looked at the pictures on her side table. There were different frames and an alarm clock with a picture of a broomstick.
"Whoa, you've got a lot more pictures than before." Oliver said. Alex put away her things and sat next to Oliver.
"Yeah, I collect them." Alex leaned her head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her.
"You have pictures when we were little, on your first day to fly on a broom, and a lot of Quidditch pictures. The cool thing is, the Quidditch pictures move." Oliver was impressed.
"Yeah, I went to a photo shop in Hogsmeade to get those pictures done. Look, the picture with all of us. Even Katie and Alicia are there." Alex pointed at a medium sized blue frame with a picture of the whole Quidditch Team 2 years ago with Katie and Alicia. You could see Fred and George bumping each other to get in the picture.
"Oh wow, this picture's nice too." Oliver pointed at a red frame, which had a picture of all their friends. Harry, Kris, Ron, Hermione, Fred, Melanie, George, Cristen, Angelina, Cedric, even Draco, Eyaudra, Katie and her boyfriend, Brian Meriven, Alicia, and Oliver and Alex were all in the picture. The picture was taken in the stairs of the entrance hall in the last day of school 2 years ago. "I miss Hogwarts. It's fun there."
"Yeah. I miss you being there." Alex said.
"That's one of the reasons too." Oliver kissed her forehead.
"I have to go now, my mom's gonna go crazy if I'm not home before dinner. That's the thing about summer." Oliver stood up from the bed.
Alex let out a little chuckle. "Okay then, so you'll come here tomorrow at 9 in the morning right?"
"Yeah." He said.
"Okay, bye." Alex said.
"Bye." Oliver smiled and kissed her in the lips and he left her room.
"I'm lucky he's my boyfriend." Alex dropped on her bed.
The next morning Alex was eating breakfast. Winnie had her Standard Book of Spells Volume 1 in front of her while eating cereal.
"Honestly Win, that book will be torn before you get to school." Alex told her.
"I won't do anything to it. Can't I just read?" Winnie said.
"Well, you'll become a nerd if you'll start reading now. See look what happened to Hermione." Said Alex.
"What happened?" Winnie asked.
"Her boyfriend Ron hated her when they first met. On their second year, it was hard for Hermione to hang with Ron because to her, she thinks being expelled is worst than dying. If you keep reading that now until school starts, you'll think just like her. You won't care about your death." Alex told her.
"Oh stop it Alex. It's good that Winnie is reading now so she can have a head start. You yourself was reading before you used it in class." Their mom said.
"I read it during the trip to Hogwarts and at the same night that's all. I didn't read for 1 whole month before school." Alex stated.
"Who said I did?" Winnie asked.
"Oh stop it Alex, leave your sister alone and eat your breakfast." She scolded Alex.
"Haha." Winnie smirked.
"Shut up whiner." Alex told her. Winnie gave her a weird look and Alex returned it with a 'got you there' look.
They ate their breakfast in silence for a little while.
"Oh Alex, a friend called last night while you were getting ready for bed. Um I think it was Kristiann Meitashiro?" her mom asked.
"Kristian…oh Kris! Yeah what did she say?" Alex asked.
"Oh she just said to call her this morning at 8:30." She replied.
"Ok." Alex said.
"Who's she anyway Alex?" she asked.
"Oh you remember Kris Mei, the girl I knew and met in first year but I didn't really talk to until second year?" Alex asked.
"Oh her! But why did she say her name is Kristiann Meitashiro?" she asked.
"Kris Mei is for short since her last name is long. And besides, you can't blame her because she's just half Japanese half British." Said Alex.
"Oh. She's very polite." She commented.
After Alex was done eating, she called Kris.
"Hello?" Alex said.
"Hello?" A voice answered.
"Can I please talk to Kris?" Alex asked.
"Who's calling?" The voice asked.
"Alex."
"Oh, hold on." The voice said.
"Um, hello?" Kris answered.
"Kris!" Alex said.
"Oh hi Alex!" Kris said.
"Hey who answered the phone?" Alex asked.
"Oh that was just my older brother. You know, Vincent." Kris replied.
"Oh yeah. Isn't he a 7th year now?"
"Yeah. Anyways, so you're going to the Burrow right?"
"Of course. But how are you going to get there?"
"Floo Powder. No choice at all, using Floo Powder is dangerous."
"Yeah." Alex agreed.
"Hey I also heard you're a Prefect!"
"Yeah I am."
"Who are the rest besides Hermione?"
"Um, Dean Thomas and Timothy Avery."
"Whoa, Dean's a Prefect?"
"Yeah, pretty unbelievable huh?"
"Well, sorta. But he is smart too."
"Yeah. So how's Harry?"
"Oh he's doing good. I accidentally dropped one of Fred's and George's fake wands in front of Dudley's room. It looked exactly like Harry's wand so when Dudley started fool around with it, it bursted with all these weird stuff."
"You were there?"
"No, but Harry told me. His Uncle and Aunt were about to throw him out but he threatened them about Sirius being his godfather. Well of course Sirius isn't bad, but the Dursleys think he is."
"Haha. Those Dursleys never learn." Alex commented.
"Anyways I have to get ready now, I'm leaving in 10 minutes. So see you there!"
"See you!" Alex hung up the phone.
When Oliver arrived, he, Alex, and Winnie used the Floo Powder to get to the burrow. They all brought their brooms so they can fly around playing Quidditch. The Burrow wasn't any close to muggles so it was a perfect place to practice Quidditch during summer. When they arrived at the Burrow, they landed in the fireplace of course and almost everyone was there in the living room.
"Oliver!" Fred yelled.
"Hey!" Oliver yelled back.
"Hey how's it going? How's the reserve team?" George gave him a high five.
"Oh it's ok. But I sure miss playing for Gryffindor." Oliver said.
"Oh Alex! Oliver! You've finally arrived!" Mrs. Weasley hugged both of them. "Oh have a seat."
"So we all heard Alex. You're a Prefect huh?" George asked. Alex nodded.
"Hey where's Melanie and Cristen?" Alex asked.
"SSSHHHH!!!!!" Fred yelled. "My mom doesn't know." He whispered.
"Know what?" Mrs. Weasley appeared from the kitchen.
"Um…uh" Fred stuttered.
"George?" she looked at George.
"Um…I don't know." George said.
"What is it?" she asked again.
Suddenly someone was coming again using Floo Powder. Two tall shadows appeared. It was Melanie and Cristen.
"Uh oh." Fred rested his forehead on his head.
"Hey you two!" Kris greeted.
"Hi everyone." They said at the same time.
"Um excuse me, but can you two girls introduce yourselves?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Oh sure Mrs. Weasley." Cristen smiled.
"I'm Melanie Keys."
"And I'm Cristen Keys."
"We're dead." George muttered.
"What was that George?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Nothing." They both said.
"Okay you two are hiding something. Fred? George?" she scolded.
They both looked up.
"Um mum, they're our…..our" said Fred slowly.
"Girlfriends?" she asked. They both nodded. She was silent for a while. Then she said, "Boys I'm not disappointed." She said lowly. "But why didn't you tell me you had beautiful and polite girlfriends?!" she said cheerfully. She hugged Melanie and Cristen and smiled at them. Fred and George sighed.
"We didn't think you would approve of it mum." George said.
"Oh boys, you're growing up finally. You could tell me things like that! Now, all of you better go outside. You can play Quidditch while waiting for the food to be cooked. Come on, all of you." She chased them out of the living room. They all went out to the big yard. It had posts in the ends and a big space for game play.
"Did everyone bring their brooms?" Fred asked.
"Yes Fred." Everyone said together.
"What kind of broomsticks do you have?" Kris asked the Keys Twins.
"Oh we just have Nimbus Two Thousand and Ones." Melanie answered.
"Hey Ron, where's your broomstick?" Harry asked.
Ron ran to a locked closet in the corner of the patio and pulled out a broomstick. "Here it is! It's pretty old, but I upgraded it a little so it's almost as fast as a Nimbus Two Thousand and Two. This is just a Nimbus Two Thousand."
"Do you have an extra broomstick?" Hermione asked. Ron fell silent. He was handing her his broomstick.
"Here Ron." Kris pulled out a little broomstick out of her pocket.
"How's that going to help me?!" Ron complained. Kris gave him a bad look.
"Oliver, can you enlarge it?" Kris asked. Oliver nodded.
He pointed his wand at it and said, "Engorgio!" The broom was the size of a normal sized broomstick.
"Wow! A Nimbus Two Thousand and One! And upgraded too! Thanks Kris!" Ron said. Kris smiled.
"Okay! Let's play Quidditch!!" George yelled out as he rose to the air.
