Whoa there…like that's a coincidence, but yet their biggest problem. You know what I mean, that girl in Wales, and Vince. What do you think is going to happen? Anyways, let's not worry much about that. So you all remember Professor Lupin. You know, the Werewolf teacher. Yeah, guess what he has in store for the 5th years. Enjoy!
Lupin's Back
The 5th years went to their first class, Defense against the Dark Arts. They were having their class with the Slytherins, so it might be a little rough.
"What do you think Lupin's going to teach us?" Ron asked.
"Well we already know the Unforgivable Curses." Harry said.
"You two are too excited." Said Hermione.
"Hermione, do me a little favor and close that smart mouth of yours please?" Ron said. Hermione gave him a bad look.
"I think he'll teach us about Poltergeists and Red Caps." Alex suggested.
"That would be interesting." Said Kris. They went to the Defense Against Dark Arts room. When they got there, they saw Pansy Parkinson and her posse.
"Well it's Potter and his little friends." Pansy said as her friends giggled.
"Shut up Pansy." Said Kris.
"Oh, Potter you need your girlfriend to defend you?" Pansy insulted.
"Shut your big mouth Pansy. At least I have someone that cares for me. You only have your posse to make you look good." Harry shot back. Pansy pulled out her wand and was about to cast a spell until someone shot a Dancing Charm at her. It was Draco.
"You never learn Parkinson." Draco went inside the classroom. Pansy was still dancing and she couldn't stop. They all went in until Pansy said something.
"Hey Levons! Too bad you don't have Wood to be here! Loner!!!" Pansy laughed. Suddenly Alex threw a punch at her face and she knocked out. Alex just left. When she was inside, she sat next to Kris as Professor Lupin was holding his class record. Draco was sitting next to Eyaudra as they talked and laughed.
"Good Morning Gryffindors and Slytherins. Say present or here when I call your name please. Gryffindors first. Avery, Timothy?" Professor Lupin started.
"Here." he said.
"Bredford, Gina."
"Here."
"Brown, Lavender?"
"Here."
"Dickens, Samuel."
"Present."
"Finnigan, Seamus."
"Here."
"Hello Seamus. Granger, Hermione?"
"Here Professor, hello."
"Hi there. Levons, Alexandra?"
"Here." Alex said.
"Nice to see you again. Longbottom, Neville?"
"Present."
"Ah, hello Neville. Oh what is this? Uh, Malfoy, Draco?"
"Here."
"Oh I see you're in Gryffindor. Anyways, good morning. Meitashiro, Kristiann?"
"Here Professor!" Kris yelled out.
"Alive as usual Kris, good morning. Patil, Parvati?"
"Present."
"Potter, Harry?"
"Here Professor."
"Good to see you again. Thomas, Dean?"
"Present."
"And, Weasley, Ronald?"
"I'm here."
"Okay all 14 Gryffindors are here. Now, good morning Slytherins." Lupin said.
"Where's Pansy?" Kris wondered.
"Probably trying to cover her bruise with makeup." Said Alex as they both laughed. Suddenly, the door banged open. It was Pansy's posse. Then after 2 minutes of calling names, Pansy came.
"Oh Miss Parkinson what happened?" Lupin asked.
"Levons punched me!!" Pansy blamed Alex.
Alex stood up. "What are you talking about?! You hit the stair railings in the entrance hall!! And if I did wanted to hit you, I would've just cast a spell on you!" Alex yelled.
"Miss Parkinson, may I suggest that you will not make anymore false accusations in my class or any class for that matter. Five points from Slytherin. I'm sorry Slytherins, but tell your fellow House mates to not act up in my class." The Slytherins were furious except Eyaudra who was busy talking to Draco. "Okay, today we'll be learning about Poltergeists. As you all know that Poltergeists are noisy ghosts. Can anyone tell me any certain characteristics?"
Hermione immediately raised her hand. "Anybody in particular besides Hermione? No one? Well, let's do some random house points then. Seamus my boy, do you know any characteristics?" Lupin asked.
"Um uh, they don't haunt a particular building or house of some sort?" Seamus answered.
"Quite correct there Seamus. Now can anyone tell me why they don't do that?" Lupin asked again. Alex raised her hand. "Yes Alex."
"They attach themselves to a specific person, whom they follow from place to place." Said Alex.
"Very good Alex. 5 points for Gryffindor." Lupin said.
"This class is going to be so fun and so easy." Said Ron as Harry nodded.
After class, Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to talk to Professor Lupin as Kris and Alex went to the common room to get a book for Transfigurations class.
"Oh hello Harry. You doing well?" Lupin asked.
"Pretty good. But Professor, you think um, You-Know-Who will come back?" Harry asked.
"Ah, I see. He may, but he may not. Right now he could be plotting his murder, but he won't come close to you yet." Lupin said.
"What do you mean by that?" Hermione asked.
"Well, he's not afraid to touch you now, but he's struck by the way both your wands reacted as I recall hearing?" said Lupin. Harry nodded. "Well then, don't worry too much about it though Harry. It would be of good help if you could join the Dueling Club."
"That would be great." Harry smiled.
"I could join too right?" Ron asked.
"Who said you can't?" Lupin asked.
"Yeah!" Ron said excitedly.
"Anyways, you three better get to class. Don't want to be late I suppose." Lupin told them.
"Sure Professor. See you around." Harry said as they walked out of the classroom.
Meanwhile, Kris and Alex were running up Gryffindor tower to the common room. Once they reached the Fat Lady, they rushed up to their dormitories.
"Where is my book?!" Kris was vigorously searching her drawers while Alex looked in her trunk.
"Aha! There you are!" Alex said relieved. Kris found hers as the bell started to ring for the next class.
"Aww shit, we better go." Kris said as they ran out of the dormitory. As they went out of the common room, they ran down the tower. Suddenly, Alex tripped on a step to the corridors and her foot got stuck in a minor ditch of a missing block. Students were staring at them as Alex tried to pull her foot out. Of course, this was the work of Peeves the Poltergeist. Nearly Headless Nick came and saw Peeves laughing on the ceiling. He chased Peeves out of the tower maliciously.
"Fuck!!! Fuckin Peeves!!! My foot is fuckin stuck!!!" Alex was so frustrated.
"Shit! Damn transparent son of a bitch! We're going to be late for Transfigurations!" Kris helped Alex pull out her foot, but it was still stuck. "Can I just blast it?!"
"NO!!! YOU'LL BLOW MY FUCKIN LEG OFF!!!!" Alex yelled. Suddenly, someone helped them out. It was Vince.
"Whoa what happened here?" he asked. Kris looked up at him.
"Um, uh, her foot's stuck in a little ditch. And if we blast the bricks, her legs will blast too." Kris answered.
"Um, sorry for the inconvenience, but can you help me get my foot out?" Alex asked.
"Sure, that's why I came." He said with a smile as he pulled out his wand and held Alex's foot. "This might hurt a bit. Elevoltus!" He said as he pulled out her foot. The spell gave her foot a shock out of the ditch as her foot was free.
"Whoa. Thanks. You better get to class." Alex said.
"No harm done. You better get going yourself. See you around." Vince smiled.
"Bye." Alex returned a smile and she stared at him as he walked in the corridors.
"Alex….Alex!" Kris yelled. Alex looked at her. "Class!!!!" They both ran through the corridors and to Transfigurations class. When they arrived, Professor McGonagall was in the middle of a lecture.
Everyone looked at Kris and Alex. "Miss Levons and Miss Meitashiro, your first Transfigurations class and you are tardy. And for you Miss Levons, a new Prefect. Five points from Gryffindor, each. Now get to your seats."
Transfigurations was obviously not a good class. Potions was always the worst class. They survived the first day of classes, but to go through that everyday, was just plain wrong. After the long day, Alex wondered when Oliver would contact her. She missed him a lot, and wanted to see him. But she wouldn't get the chance to go to Wales until Christmas.
"When is Oliver going to call?" Kris asked as they were going up to their dormitories.
"I don't know. Hopefully pretty soon." Said Alex. Suddenly, she felt her wand flickering in her robe. They both ran to their dormitories and sat on Alex's bed. Alex took out her wand and waved in front of her.
"Alex?" Oliver's face appeared.
"Oliver!" Alex said as her face appeared in front of Oliver's. It was like their faces were really there.
"Hi! So how's everything? I missed you so much and it really sucks being so far from home." Oliver said.
Alex smiled. "Everything's okay. I missed you a lot too. It just feels so different. So what about you?" she asked.
"Oh me. Well I'm doing pretty fine. I started working today, but the real thing is tomorrow. Today was just a demonstration, so I guess I'll get even more homesick. It's nice to see your face again." Said Oliver.
Alex smiled as her eyes were a little watery. "I wish could just hug you right now. But we're over a million miles away."
"I know. Don't cry. You'll make me cry too." Oliver looked at her. "How's everybody? I know they're not much in grief."
Alex chuckled. "Well, we still are waiting until the end of the week to find out who is our Team captain, and by Saturday, the try-outs will be held for the keeper."
"I hope you guys find a good keeper out there. Oh before I forget, I met a kind man here in Wales when I first got here. He said that he has a nephew in Gryffindor who's I think in 6th or 7th year. He said that his nephew is good at Quidditch, and that he never got a chance to be part of the team. So, keep an eye out for him. He could be your key to victory." Said Oliver.
"Yeah, I'll make sure. Oh, Kris wants to talk to you. She's here." Said Alex.
"Oh cool. Tell her to sit in front of me." Oliver directed.
Kris sat where Alex was. "Hi Oliver!"
"Hi Kris. You look happy as usual." Oliver smiled.
"Hey I'm not always happy. Anyways, you're not cheating on Alex are you?" Kris asked.
"Hell no!! You know that she's the only one for me. You know better than that!" Oliver scolded.
"Hey it was just a joke! Anyways, how's Wales?" Kris asked.
"Almost everything's different, but it's cool. There are a lot of places to go." Said Oliver. "Hey is Fred taking care of her?"
"Oh yeah. But don't worry, there's no one hitting on her or anything. Everyone knows that she's taken." Kris winked at him. Oliver smiled.
"Okay that's cool." Oliver said. Oliver, Kris, and Alex talked for1 hour and they all had to get some sleep.
"You take care okay?" Alex said.
"Of course. I love you." Oliver smiled.
"I love you too. Good night." Alex gave a blow kiss and smiled.
"'Night." Oliver smiled and waved as his face disappeared.
