Memories are pointed out!!! Enjoy!
Two tall figures rose to greet her, both dressed in dark travelling clothes. A blond haired man walked towards her and embraced her. They were older, but unmistakeable to her eyes.
"Remus" she managed to get out before burying her face into his shoulder. "God I've missed you" she said pulling away from him.
"You too Lexie, it's been a while." He said quietly
"A while? I wouldn't call nearly six years awhile." She hugged him again "You could've at least wrote to me more often than you did"
"It's not as if you replied on a regular basis" he smiled at her.
"Not my fault, jobs fault" she smiled back
She walked towards the other man in her room, his dark hair cut just above his shoulders roughly. He still wore the same stupid grin.
"Lexie!" he said happily opening his arms.
"I won't even get started with you! What are you? Retarded? Bloody idiot." She crossed her arms and stared at him.
"I resent being called retarded"
"Why? Truth hurt?"
"Oh that cutting wit! I see you still haven't lost it"
"Where pray, was a being witty?"
"Ha, ha, ha, oh so funny my darling, would you please get a nurse I think my sides are splitting" he cocked his eyebrow at her and clutched his sides.
"Sarcasms the lowest for of wit you know"
"Oh don't knock it; you're the one who seems to love it so very much!"
"Nice to see things don't change" Remus broke in and sat on the couch, but his comment seemed to go unnoticed.
"Yes but I use it with class and style" she said wafting her hand in the air with a false sense of dignity.
"Oh that must've been sarcasm again! Because the day you have 'class and style' may well be the day I die"
"That can be arranged"
"Ah, yes, you of course have contacts now, how many people have you and your little friends took out now?"
"Below the belt Sirius" Remus commented as he continued to lounge on the sofa.
"At least I've had a job for the past decade and a half, unlike some" she said slyly.
"Harsh Alexandra" Sirius smiled weakly and turned to Remus "I have been in Azkaban for god only knows how long and I don't even get a hug Remus! I think I'm in a state of shock" he said quickly attempting to avoid a full blown argument.
"You really want a hug?" she laughed at him
"Would be nice" she let herself be taken in his arms and rested her head against his chest, the sound of his heart beating gently filling her ears. She felt him bury his head into her hair and sigh deeply, his arms increasing their grip and pulling her closer to him. "I have missed you, honestly" he said softly into her hair.
"Me too. Could've at least bloody wrote once in a while" she said sighing
"Aha, and watch as someone in your beloved ministry intercepts it?"
"Perhaps. Could've sent it through him" she inclined her head towards the sofa.
"Oh, so I've been noticed now?" Remus said casually.
Releasing herself from Sirius' grasp she made her way to sit next to him.
"Perhaps what I would write to you would be unfit for our beloved's eyes?" Sirius began, shoving her into the middle of the couch and making himself comfortable.
"And what exactly would you intend to write? Or should I even ask, sick child" she laughed
"Sick! me? No, I much prefer perverted." He grinned at her.
"I think maybe now I'm thankful you didn't write, don't get me wrong, the rantings of a sex starved runaway would be just my cup of tea, but I doubt Remus would approve."
"Can you two produce any more sarcasm?" Remus moaned
"Us, sarcastic?" they both said together.
"Clearly you can"
"How and why are you two here any way, don't mean to be rude and all but wasn't exactly expected?" She questioned seriously
"Well I'm here of my own free will, pretty much any way, but he's been made to come, apparently he's a risk, very amusing I'm sure you'll agree" Remus smiled at her lightly.
"You're staying here?" she asked eagerly
"We'll he is, I'm off soon, business and all that. I'm sure you'll like being here Sirius, not my fault 'you're a risk'" he tormented his friend
Sirius' face became dark. "Oh Sirius don't sulk, you're not THAT much of a risk, sure you have you're moments, and look on the bright side!" she said placing her hand on his arm affectionately.
"And what would that be?" he sighed
"Me, we'll I could be a bright side, or a shear annoyance, I don't know, you've got more space here, for what I don't know, please Siri be happy." She finished earnestly. He turned to face her eyes, he always remembered how clear they were, most people would call grey eyes unemotional, but hers, they were always alive, bright, beautiful. He found himself smiling idly at her.
As he turned to face her she saw those warm brown eyes, those eyes that had enchanted half the population of the school, the eyes of a player she thought quietly, but he was her closet and oldest friend, though she would never admit it, he made her feel safe, he had always been there, never judged her just because of what she was.
"Yes" he smiled "You are a reason to be happy. Though, I had more room at home" he laughed
Shaking her head to get rid of his intense stare "All you need is magic, can have all the room you want with that my dear"
"Slight problem, that being the lack of a wand" he made flicks through the air with his hand.
"And where do you think that wand is?" she questioned him mischievously
"Snapped into a thousand pieces and scattered across death, or thereabouts" he said laughingly.
"Or maybe not"
She stood up and began to raid through the boxes on the floor.
(memory)"Just trust me my love" her grandmother whispered to her urgently. "I'll come for you at nine, which should give us enough time"
"But I don't understand. I don't see how I can!" Alexandra whispered back
"It's all been agreed, just trust me"
"I just."
"Alexandra Mai, believe me. Now go, before you're late for dinner"
She hurried along the open corridors, the last of the summer light fading fast in the distance, the wood echoing under her bare feet, she quickly turned the corner into the dinning room. The powerful wood beans that ran across the ceiling elegantly carved. Small balls of fire hung in the air, their light reflected in the highly polished surface of the table that ran down the room, her farther and brothers were already seated, waiting for her, as was Jin, smiling smugly at her, her stomach began to turn but she walked and took her place by her brother, Jin staring at her from the opposite end of the table.
"Why were you late?" he farther questioned
"I was talking to grandmother" she answered him simply
"You knew you had dinner, why did you not excuse yourself?"
"I wasn't aware of the time farther, I swear"
"I do not take kindly to liars Alexandra"
"I'm not lying, I mean it" she turned to face him, his eyes boring into her, his face becoming red as he stood and placed his hands upon the table.
"I will ask you one last time Alexandra Mai"
"But I'm telling the truth farther, you can ask."
"LIES! I will not tolerate a disobedient daughter, you shall be punished for you're lies my child, don't you worry about that"
She began to shake in her chair, why did he have to be like this, she could understand now why her mother had left, she only whished that she might have taken her too. She couldn't eat; she sat there throughout the meal dreading what her farther would do to her.
"Room Alexandra" he stood up and she followed after him.
She walked into her room, her farther seemingly disappearing from sight until she heard the door close behind her. He grabbed her long hair and pulled her into him, pulling down on her hair causing her neck to bend and ache.
He bent down ad brought his mouth close to her ear "Apologise to you're farther" he whispered hatefully into her ears pulling her hair harder until tears of pain appeared in her eyes.
"I'm sorry farther" she cried out, going for the easy option, she wouldn't play games tonight; she didn't need to be hurt like this.
"I don't believe you" he whispered again and through her across the room until she slammed against the wooden walls, she cried out as she felt the hard wood ramming against her back. He crouched down in front of her and took her face in his hand digging his fingers into her skin and watching the tears that formed and fell out of her eyes "APOLOGISE!" he shouted in her face.
"I'm sorry" she chocked out. He released the hold on her face.
"Better" he murmured before striking her across the face "That'll remind you not to do it again.(end of memory)
PLEASE review!!! Just so you know, I'm on my knees begging you! Tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if I'm lucky, right, pretty please! :o)
