Yup, freaky isn't it? This is going nuts I tell you. Oh yeah, this will be another songfic chapter again. Now, we last left off in the train after Alex had that dream. What do you think? You think that dream was real? Well in this chapter, what can words say?
Saw, Came, and Kicked Ass
When they got to Wales, Alex never spoke to Vince. They went through the Alley to the Magical World. There they were new to everything. They all needed a ride going to the Puddlemere Reserve center.
"Excuse me there sir." Madam Hooch said.
"Yes?" It was Connor sitting on the carriage.
"I'm not from here, but is this a mode of transportation?" she asked.
"Oh yes it is. Need a ride?" he asked.
"Um yes please. But um, we're 15 in all actually." She said.
"Oh no worries. We could fit 5 in one carriage. I'll go call the others." Connor ran to other two drivers. "Here miss. Two other carriages. May I ask where you are going?"
"Ah yes. The Puddlemere Reserve center?" she said.
"Ah. Are all of you from Hogwarts?" Connor asked as he looked around.
"Um, yes." She replied. Connor spotted Vince.
"Vince?" Connor wondered. Vince looked around and spotted Connor.
"Uncle Connor?" he asked.
"Vince!" Connor gave him a hug. "How's my nephew?"
"Doing pretty well Uncle." Vince smiled.
"Don't tell me. You're part of the Quidditch team?" he asked. Vince nodded. "Ah well, all of you! Get into the carts! Oh don't worry miss, I'll take some of the Gryffindors! You may go to the other carriage."
"Thank you very much." Madam Hooch rode with the Slytherins. Vince, Alex, Kris, Harry, and Angelina rode with Connor. They all took off.
"Wow! Take a look at this place!!" Angelina looked out the carriage.
"Ah. The great city of Harborford. The biggest magical city in Wales." Connor said.
"Really? How many cities are there?" Alex looked out the window.
"There are four. There's Harborford, Kingrud, Greenholv, and Tevinstam." Connor replied.
"Wow. This place looks great. Looks very big too." Kris said.
"Yeah. Looks a lot bigger than London." Harry agreed.
"Actually it isn't. Oh my. You're Harry Potter aren't you?" Connor asked.
"Um yes I am." Harry replied.
"Ah pleased to meet you. Anyways Harry, London is much bigger. This city only looks big because the buildings are huge." He replied.
"This place looks wonderful." Alex said.
"Uncle Connor, when are you coming back to England?" Vince asked.
"Oh, probably Christmas. I'm coming home for Christmas this year." Connor said. A few minutes later, they arrived in the Puddlemere Reserve Center. "Okay kids, we're here."
"Um excuse me how much does it cause for all of us?" Madam Hooch asked.
"Ah I'll just give you a little saving since it's your first time. 20 galleons will be enough." Connor said.
"Really? But we're 15 in all?!" she asked.
"It's okay." Connor received the money. "Good day."
"Now, all of you better behave! I don't want any of you causing trouble. Understand?" Madam Hooch said. Everyone nodded. They entered the center and was immediately led to a door to their rooms. Their rooms were fancy and had seven beds. The room was rather large, bigger than their dormitories. "Okay everyone. You may go wandering around in the cafeteria and the Quad. But not the field! You may go." Everyone scattered outside the room. Alex and Kris decided to look for Oliver.
They first tried the Cafeteria, but they only met Grace.
"Grace!" Alex smiled.
"Alex…you've…got to go…to the Quad." Grace was breathing heavily.
"The Quad?" Alex asked. Grace nodded. Joeru came by.
"You're Alex?" he asked.
"Yes. What's going on?" Alex asked.
"You better go to the Quad." Joeru said. Alex and Kris went to the Quad. They had trouble going through the halls, but eventually made it.
"What are they talking about?" Alex looked around. They both walked around and Alex bumped into a girl.
"Can you watch where you're going?" she said. She fixed her hair and Alex noticed her. It was Vira. "What are you looking at?" She stood up.
Alex stood up. She was a lot taller than Vira so she had to look down. "Are you Vira?" she asked.
"Yeah. I don't think I know you." Vira gave her a look.
"Do you know Oliver?" Alex asked.
"Yeah. Hey if you think he's single, he's not okay! He's mine so bug off before I call him." She threatened.
"Try me." Alex crossed her arms.
"Fine. OLIVER!!!" she yelled.
"You wish." Kris said.
"Shut up. You'll see." Vira grinned.
"What?" Oliver appeared. Oliver saw Alex. Suddenly everyone was watching. "A…Alex?"
"Oliver." Alex said as she was trying to control her anger.
Vira held his hand. "You see. He's mine. Now go away tramp."
Alex walked towards Vira. She pushed Oliver away. "Shut the fuck up slutty bitch." Alex knocked Vira out with a single punch. "As for you." Oliver was about to get up but Alex pushed him down and sat on his stomach. "I can't believe you. How could you fuckin do this to me?!"
"Alex. It…it was just a bet." Oliver said.
"A bet?! A bet?! Dammit Oliver!! I thought coming here would surprise you! This is just bullshit!" Alex teared up as she slapped Oliver.
I
cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
But you'll find that out anyway
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to
Break
Alex ran up to the room as Kris followed her. Alex opened her bags and looked for everything from Oliver. She looked through her jewelry box. She saw the necklaces, anklets, and bracelets given from him. She threw everything across the room. She threw the whole box to the wall. She found the album of the pictures as they grew up. She also threw that across the room as the pictures flew out of the album as it opened. Alex went mad. She started to cry so hard. She took off the bracelet of charms and threw it across the room also. Kris came in and saw Alex.
"Alex!" Kris saw that Alex was taking off the Marinet off her neck. "Don't take it off!"
She ripped it off her neck and also threw it across the room. Alex cried as she felt everything getting sucked out of her. "How could I've been so stupid…"
"No Alex. Talk to him. He might be right. Come on Alex. Give him a chance to talk. Maybe there's more to it." Kris told her.
"More? More bullshit that's what." Alex said.
"Stop it Alex. Come on, get all these things. You don't have to wear them if you don't want to. Just give him a chance to talk." Kris said. Alex nodded. "Okay, now put the Marinet back on before you don't get used to not wearing it."
"What happened?!" Angelina came running in as the twins came in afterwards.
"I heard what happened!" George said.
"What's gotten into him?" Angelina asked.
"Come on guys, give her some space." Kris said.
"Whoa. You mind if we clean this up for you?" Fred asked as he saw the room.
"Sure." Alex muttered. They all started gathering the pictures and jewelry and putting them where they belong.
"You know Alex, you should go talk to him. Maybe he has something to say." Angelina suggested.
"She's right Alex." Kris agreed.
"Fine, I'll go talk to him later. I just feel like sleeping right now. I'm tired." Alex said as she tucked in her bed as she went to sleep.
Meanwhile, Kris and Angelina looked for Oliver. They both found him sitting alone in the cafeteria.
"Oliver?" Angelina said.
"Oh, hi Angelina. Um, Kris." Oliver said lowly.
"Oliver, what happened?" Kris asked.
"Would you believe me?" Oliver asked.
"I guess so." Angelina said.
"Okay. Well, some guys told me to do this new kid tradition thing. The newcomer has to date Vira Smith for two days and break up with her afterwards. They forced me into it. They said they would give me cash for it. If I didn't do it, everything would be stolen from me. All my memories, money, belongings, would've been gone if I didn't do it." Oliver said.
Kris sighed. "I guess I believe you."
"Yeah, me too." Angelina agreed.
"The thing is, I don't know if Alex will believe me." Oliver sighed.
"Hey, just meet her in the Quad tonight at midnight. Talk to her. She'll listen." Kris said.
"Okay." Oliver nodded. Suddenly Grace came by.
"Oh hi Grace." Kris smiled.
"Hi. Hey how's Alex? I heard what happened." Grace sat down.
"She's sleeping." Kris said.
"Sleeping?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah." Angelina said.
"You think, I can go see her?" Oliver asked.
"Why? She's sleeping." Grace wondered.
"I want to see her again." Oliver said. Joeru spotted them.
"Hey how's everything?" Joeru asked.
"Um, Alex is resting." Grace replied. Joeru sat next to her.
"Oh did you hear what happened to Vira?" Grace asked.
"What happened?" Angelina asked.
"She's got a big black eye. Very obvious. Heard she tried covering it up with make up." Grace said.
"Her friends were trying to cover it up. She's still knocked out." Joeru added.
"Whoa! Until now?" Kris asked.
"Yeah. Alex punched her hard." Joeru said.
"Um, can I go see Alex now?" Oliver asked.
"Fine. Follow us." Kris got up.
"We'll wait for you back here." Joeru said. Grace turned a little scarlet.
When they got back to the room, Alex was sound asleep. She was tired and very stressed.
"Try not to wake her up." Kris said. Oliver nodded. He walked over to the side of her bed. Oliver looked at her. He missed the way she looked when she slept. Innocent looking, and silent. He took her hand and kissed it.
"I hope she listens to me tonight." Oliver whispered.
"She will." Kris said. Oliver gave Alex a kiss on the forehead and left her to sleep.
"I better get going. I'll be in the Quad at midnight." Oliver said.
