A/N OK next chapter..............lets hope its good.................

-============funnysunnyhunnybunny================-

It was dark, like the forbidden forest, she was walking, no jogging through following a light, she rounded the corner and saw..........Randy. He was tied up with ropes, cloaked men aiming their wands at him were laughing they muttered something about herself and Bellatrix but she couldn't hear it, the next thing she new, a flash of green light.

Lexia woke up to a start on a grey Thursday morning. She slumped back into her bed and felt something run down her cheek. It was a tear, she had been crying which wasn't something unusual lately, she had been crying lately, and ever since Remus.......well she blocked that out of her mind all together.

She felt Randy's hands go around her waist and she smiled as he rested his chin on her shoulder and kissed her neck, she looked out the window and rolled over to him and kissed him." Good morning sweetie, hope you slept well" he smiled and whispered back seductively "well I sure didn't get enough, not falling asleep straight away of course....." she shoved him playfully and grinned. All of a sudden their door burst open to find a very ragged Remus; he was used to seeing Randy and Lexia in bed together, their satin gray sheets covering them. He felt that pang again but pushed it away. "Randy, Lexia we need to use the room for a moment" they both nodded and hurried to get ready.

The room was a special secret room the Order was using; it's where they kept all their information for the Order. A few minutes later Lexia rushed down with Randy, Bella was still in her room and the house elves where watching her as Lexia provided breakfast downstairs rushing around. The usual were there Dumbledore, Minevera, Remus and a not so usual person Severus. She was taken aback to see him but smiled all the same and nodded and refused to look at him for the rest of the time there.

You see Severus and Lexia didn't get along at school, come to think of it, no one did except the Lioness of Gryffindor, Lily. She was friends with Severus which made waves at school but it blew over and because Lexia was so close to Lily it kind got in the way she had kind of become friends with him except when he kissed Lexia on an outing they went on. Severus had had a crush on Lexia since he saw her, or so she thought ((well hoped not to think)) but really she would never know.

Severus had actually found time to come which was very rare. He stared around the room listening intently but not speaking. However when he saw Lexia he heart beat a little faster. Yes he had to admit he like her, no loved her, it was more then a little school crush now. Yes she was married; yes she was a Maudauer and sister-like friend to Lily Evans the only person in the world to show him friendship. He really cared for Lily and her death shook him deeply but Lexia was the shining star of his life and the only thing keeping him there.

But he new it wouldn't happened, never, nothing good ever happened to him and it wasn't going to start now. Sure he had his upturns I mean kissing her in 7th year was the best but that was all. She was too beautiful for him, long red locks sparkling blue eyes and then there was him grey greasy and dark, he was not fit for an angel like her and he never would be. He went back to listening to Dumbledore tell everyone about the new information he had gotten for Voldemort saying how everyone is to watch their backs......and be careful.

He stared watching her every graceful swift movement she made all the while pretending to listen to Dumbledore. It was official it was so plainly put out in front of him that he had to accept the truth, he loved Lexia more then a friend, he wanted her, it wasn't just lust now it was beyond that it was yearning. "Would you like some toast Remus?" asked Lexia smiling sweetly as she usually did. Remus was brought back to Earth and smiled back imagining hearing her voice everyday in the morning; he accepted one and muttered a small thank you then decided to listen when his name was mentioned.

They all emerged from The Room and went into the living room for some tea. Lexia busied herself in the kitchen and came out with tea and handed one to everyone smiling all the same. She went back into the kitchen then back to the room was she sat beside Randy. She took his hand and put it with hers smiling and resting her head on his shoulder. Randy smiled down at her then smiled at Remus who was staring at him. Randy straightened up in alert and whispered to Lexia "I hear her crying, let me go check". Lexia nodded and leaned back into the chair.

After everyone had left Remus, Lexia, Randy and Shanea went into the kitchen and all sat down to tea. Shanea looked around in boredom and stared at an empty bottle and grinned. She went and picked it up staring down at the dumbstruck people before her. They all gave her a look of knowing and exchanged smirking looks. "Oh come on, how long has it bee, must be a couple of years now" the 3 of them shrugged and huddled in. Randy put his arm around Lexia as she smiled and moved closer. "Ok who's going to start?" said Shanea pointing around she then grinned wickedly at Remus and shoved the bottle in his hands. He stared at it for a while then placed it on the table and spun it.

It landed on Randy who gave a lopsided grin "ok Remus do your worst!" he said a glint of mischief in his eye. Remus looked around and stared at Lexia he felt a pang I his chest but said it anyway "I dare you to give Lexia the most passionate kiss you can muster and frankly that's not much" he said the last part with a grin as Randy pouted. "Better then you Remus" Lexia snuggled closer to him smiling kissed him casually at first but then he got more intimate she smiled inwardly it seemed like the world had stopped because it had been along time since Randy had kissed her that way.

"Stop!..." said Remus his voice exparated. He couldn't take it, he stared at the ground and sat down hearing them panting and staring at him Lexia's eyes piercing into the back of his neck. "I mean time's up...." Lexia's blue eyes glowing slightly and still panting stood up and calmed herself. Shanea stood eyes widened slightly and bit her bottom lip before speaking " It was a stupid idea besides it's late I best be going" she looked at the ground when Lexia went to give her a hug goodbye she looked away emotionless and whispered "bye Randy" before apaparating.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~****~~~~~~~~~~~****~~~~~~~~~

Things now had took a very bad turn. Shanea refused to talk to her, Remus wouldn't even be in the same room as her and Randy was furious at Remus and a little mad at her even though he didn't admit. So where would she go now? She still had Amethyst or Amy as she was called by her friends, but if she told her the story wouldn't she get upset too?. I mean Amy always did have a crush on Randy but overcame it by going out with Sirius, mind you the last time she heard of Amy was that she was married to the Hufflepuff Demetrious Salantina, a exchange student from Beuxbaxton. So she thought she might just send an owl first

Dear Amethyst,

It has been far too long last I heard you where married up with Demetrious from Hufflepuff?. I really would like to catch up and have a talk I'll come to your place tomorrow say around 12? See you then Amy

love

Lexia.

She re-read the letter and smiled then called her tawny owl, Arias, over to her. She tied it on her leg and watched it fly out till it was a mere spec in the sky. She then returned to Bella's room, the only person who would actually realize she was there. She hugged her and rocked her gently smiling "you'll never forget me, will you darling?" she whispered as she went over to the window watching the sky go from orange to blood red to darkness.
