**A/N- ahhhhhhhhh so many ideas so little time**
Chapter 6
Alex woke up just as they were coming to a stop. Draco had woken her up earlier to tell her that he was going up to the Prefects compartment. At that moment she realized that she hadn't changed into her uniform, so she did it as quickly as possible, but was still the last one off the train. She was looking around for Draco but couldn't find him anywhere. She hated not knowing her way around, she hated being lost.
Harry had gotten off the train alone, since everyone had let him sleep to long. He was looking for Ron and Herminoe when he spotted Alex looking around for Draco he guessed. He was about to turn and go the other way when he realized that although she was a 7th year, this was her first year at Hogwarts and she didn't know her way around. He walked up behind her and asked,
"Lost?"
Alex turned around to find Harry standing there, she smiled and admitted,
"Completely lost. I think my brother is playing a joke on me because he's nowhere around and I don't know where to go. I'm going to kill him if he is."
Harry looked around and didn't see Malfoy anywhere.
"Maybe he's waiting for you by the carriages. Come on I'll show you where they are."
Alex looked around one last time but didn't see Draco anywhere so she followed Harry to the Carriages.
Most everyone had already left but there were still a couple carriages left so they got into one and left. Alex pocked her head out the window and looked at the horse like creatures pulling the carriages.
"They're so beautiful . . ." she said her breath taken away.
" They are in their own way. But it makes me sad when I think about why I can see them," said Harry looking out the window thinking first of Cedrick, then Sirius.
"Yea" she just said really quietly.
For a couple of minutes they rode in utter silence. Then Harry remembered what had happened earlier that day and asked, "How come you don't hate me?" seeing the puzzled expression on Alex's face he said, "Your brother hates me, and so does your father. But you don't seem to dislike me so much. Did I miss something or what?" Alex didn't know what to say, she wanted to explain, but if she did she knew it would look like she's there to kill him. But she wasn't, she actually liked him. She could never hurt him, after all the dreams she had had about his parents' death. She always felt the woman's pain when she thought about that think touching her son. This made her angry and think back on her meeting with that thing! That's what he was a thing, because no person, no living being could inflict pain with such joy. It makes her sick when she thought about the fact that it was because of that think that she was alive. " Me and Draco do have the same parents, but have been brought up differently. My father always favored Draco so he influenced him a lot more. When I wasn't away at school I spent most of my time with Draco, and neither would mention anything about school. And the rest of the time with my mother, who isn't anything like my father. She's really a peaceful creature, but she's in love with my father and will do anything for him."
Harry pondered this for a while. He didn't think she was lying, she had no reason to, and he was glad to hear that at least one of Sirius' relatives wasn't completely evil.
"Harry I tell this to you out of friendship. If you hurt my brother in any way, I wont think twice about revenge. I would not normally hurt you or your friends, and will help when I can, but this year I suggest you do not mess with my brother. I know more magic and spells then ever the Granger girl had heard of. Take this not as much as a threat, then as a warning. I will not be a danger to you unless you mess with Draco, and mind you he know that and will be even more rude, but as long as I can I will keep him in place."
She had said this with a sad tone, and Harry knew that she had said this because of the many times she had probably heard about in the past few years.
" I understand, and will keep my friends in check, but mind you I will protect them more then anything"
They were arriving at the castle, and Alex could see Draco standing and looking for her. Seeing him as well Harry said, "Don't worry I'll sneak out an he wont ever know we shared a carriage. But since the only thing that stands between us is a mad brother and two crazy friends, do you think we can be friends?"
Alex looked at him, smiled and got out of the carriage. It had been the most beautiful smile he had ever seen.
