Chapter 2: Love comes in many forms
"Alexis Lillian Potter, get your arse out of that bed!" A man shouted.
Alexis groaned. "Go 'way." She sunk her face deeper into her pillow as the covers were ripped off her and she was pulled out of bed.
"Merlin!" Draco growled. "No wonder Cadogan is always peeved at you."
Alexis was lying on the cold dungeon floor with Draco sitting on top of her. "Get off me ferret!" She pushed Draco off her and stood up. "That's not why he hates me and you know it. So don't talk about what you don't understand." Alexis closed her bathroom door, as Draco sat on her bed. After about fifteen minutes, the girl walked out and got dressed.
She looked around her room and groaned. "What a mess!"
"Don't worry about it," Draco told her looking around the room as well. It had looked like she had thrown her belongings around the room in a rage. "Rough night, I take it."
"No shit," Alexis muttered. "I should ask for a sleeping drought."
"No, you'll become addicted," Draco told her. "Besides, the house elves will have the room spotless before your classes end."
Alexis looked thoughtful. "You don't know what they go through…" She whispered turning to the blond on her bed. "You wanted to talk to me, Master Dray."
Draco raised an eyebrow. "Enough of that," he scolded her. She grinned at him. "I wanted to talk to you about two things." He paused for affect. Alexis just looked at him. "First, you have to control that temper of yours. We can not afford another incident like last night."
"Do you mean strangling Pansy, or breaking things?"
Draco raised his eyebrow in amusement. "The breaking things. It happened twice last night; you need to control your temper here. Things aren't suited for emotions or powers like yours."
"Alright, and the second thing is?" Alexis looked bored.
"I want you to stay away from Blaise," Draco said pointedly.
To his surprise Alexis laughed. She was clutching her sides when she finished. "Oh, don't be ridiculous Dray," she smiled at him. "Blaise isn't interested in me."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean," Alexis started slowly. "He isn't interested in what I have to offer."
"What does that mean?"
Alexis looked at him. "Are you serious? Are you normally this stupid, or is this a special thing for me?"
Draco opened his mouth and decided not to say anything. Instead, he just looked at her. "Think about it Dray. He's not interested in anything I have, so much as what you have."
Draco looked shocked for a second. "You mean he's gay?" Alexis pointed to her nose and smiled. "Are you saying he likes me?"
"Oh heavens no!" Alexis grinned. "I mean, you are a Sex God and all," she rolled her eyes. "But he's involved. So you have absolutely nothing to worry about."
"Do we know who he is?" Alexis shook her head.
"Don't say anything to him." Draco nodded. "Breakfast?"
He took Alexis' hand and steered her out of her room into the common room. Alexis took off to Blaise.
"Mornin'!" Alexis sounded unusually cheerful.
"Hey," Blaise smiled. "Going to breakfast?"
She nodded. "I wanted to ask you a question too. So let's go down together, ok?"
Blaise stood, wrapping his arm around Alexis, receiving an amused look from Draco.
'She had better not been lying to me!' Alexis smirked. Not a day goes by without someone being paranoid, she thought to herself.
"Is he a 7th year?" Alexis asked point blank.
Blaise nodded slowly. "What are you going to do?"
"Nothing," Alexis smirked. "You know me."
"Yes and that's why I'm worried."
She playfully slapped him and walked into the hall glancing at the Gryffindor table. All of the 7th year boys looked at her and she couldn't narrow down who was the secret lover.
"Who's he?" Alexis asked pointing to the boy talking to Female Red, as Alexis called her. She was a Weasley, that much the new girl new.
"That's Ginny-er, Weasley's boyfriend, Thomas. Dean or something like that," Blaise informed her.
Alexis nodded and ate some eggs. The girl kept her eyes on the Gryffindor table. Blaise's boyfriend definitely wasn't Thomas; he was deep in it with the redhead next to him. It couldn't be Longbottom because he was obviously head over heals for that Ravenclaw girl, Lovegood? Well, at any rate, that narrowed it down to Red, Raven, and-
"Blaise, who is that?"
"Who?" Blaise looked up.
"The one next between Thomas and Raven," Alexis told him.
"That's Seamus-er, Finnigan," Blaise muttered. Alexis nodded and added that to her notes. Her first day and she already had a good idea who the Slytherin was dating.
She felt someone shift next to her. "Hello Drake, fancy meeting you here." Alexis grinned at the blond boy.
Draco couldn't help but to smile back. "Your schedule."
Alexis took the piece of parchment from the boy's hands as an owl flew up to her. Her eyes widened in shock, and surprise.
"Don't get too excited," Draco muttered taking a bite of his toast. "It's just a school owl."
"So what?" She took the parchment proudly, knowing it would contain her other two schedules. She glanced at them seeing that she would have her sessions with Dumbledore Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and her sessions with Snape Tuesdays and Thursdays. Alexis shoved the parchment into her bag and looked at her regular schedule. NEWT Potions, NEWT Care of Magical Creatures, and NEWT Divination before lunch. Then she discovered her afternoons on the days that she met with Dumbledore were open. So today I have to meet Dumbledore after lunch, Alexis sighed. How was she going to get through all these other lessons on top of the other ones she had to go to?
"Come on," Draco poked Alexis. "We're going to be late for Potions."
Alexis picked up her bag and walked with Draco. As she walked into the room, she tripped and her bag split.
"Cadogan!" Snape's head shot up. "Detention for disturbing the peace in this classroom. Clean up your mess and report to this room after dinner."
Alexis picked up her books, parchment, and everything else that fell and tucked them into the bag Draco fixed. The girl sat next to Draco, seething. Her eyes flashed and darkened in anger.
'Merlin, she looks just like Harry when she gets like that. Stop it!'
Alexis was instantly confused and glanced over at the blond. He hit himself in the head.
"Alright," Snape began as the door flew open. "Weasley, Potter!" Alexis' head shot up at the mention of the name, Draco poked her. "Detention! And ten points off each. Cadogan, it seems you have company this evening."
Alexis glared at the professor as the late arrivals took their seats without any protests.
"As I was saying," Snape began again. "Today we will be brewing a potion designed to help you express your emotions. Each Slytherin will be paired with a Gryffindor." Snape began his list. "Cadogan and Weasley, Potter and Malfoy," Snape grinned when he heard the four groan in unison. Soon after he gave the instructions for the Emotion Potion, the group was told to meet with their partners.
"You move over by Weasel," Draco told Alexis.
"Why do I need to move?" Alexis growled. "You move."
Draco raised an eyebrow. "Move, or I tell Father and he'll tell Marcus. And we know what he will do to you…"
"That was a cheap shot Malfoy," Alexis muttered moving her things over to the table. "Move Raven."
"Why the hell doesn't Malfoy get over here?"
"Because Malfoy is a spoiled brat, and you are irritating," Alexis told him as he got up. "Hello Red."
Ron glared at the redheaded girl next to him and didn't say anything.
"Alright then," Alexis rolled her eyes. "That's what I get for trying to be civil."
There was an awkward silence before Ron finally spoke. "You have a detention?"
"It would seem so," Alexis told him. "Are you going to get the ingredients or should I?"
Ron looked at her as if she has just sprouted an extra head. "Uh, I'll get them."
Alexis nodded and set up the cauldron and studied the directions. When Ron returned with the ingredients, he looked at her for instructions.
"Well Red," Alexis began taking one last look at the directions. "It looks like you should chop the Ginger Roots first."
Ron nodded and began attacking the root. "What do you think you are doing?"
He looked at her. "I'm chopping the roots."
"That isn't chopping, that's slaughtering, there's a difference!" Alexis told him. "Have you ever cooked before? Like a real meal? Lamb chops and stew, or something?"
"Yes, I have," Ron glared at the girl. "What is your point?"
"Making a potion is like making a dinner," Alexis stated. "If you follow the directions, everything turns out the way it's supposed too."
"I…I guess so," the redheaded boy said. "I never thought about it like that. But what does that have to do with chopping?"
Alexis moved behind him and put her hands on his. The girl didn't miss the death glares getting sent her way by Granger and Draco, or the surprised gasp from Ron. "Let me show you." Alexis showed him with his hands how to chop the root. Soon the two had all the ingredients added into the cauldron.
"Alright," Snape spoke. "Once your potion is finished, one person from each group is to take it and the other is to fill a vial and bring it to me."
"I'm not taking it!" Ron said quickly.
Alexis looked panicked. "You take it! Please."
Ron shook his head.
Alexis looked around. "My emotions are dangerous. You have to take it. Besides if you're worried about Granger, it's so obvious you dig her."
"Dig her?"
"Like her, fancy her, whatever," Alexis muttered. "My point is, you take the potion and then kiss Granger or something, you can't be blamed for it."
Ron smiled. "You are a genius."
"I know," Alexis grinned and poured two vials, one for Ron and one for Snape. She brought it up to the front.
Alexis picked up her bag and walked out of the room noticing Ron and Hermione making out in the corridor. Alexis smiled and caught up to Draco.
"Did you take the potion?"
"Hell no!"
The two stood there smirking at each other. "So you got Weasley to take it?"
"Duh!" Alexis smiled. "Got him together with Granger too."
Draco opened his mouth to speak as Harry walked up to them. "Hello," Harry acknowledged the pair of Slytherins.
The two looked at each other and back at Harry. "Do you have something to say?"
Harry blushed. "Hi...Draco!! I LOVE YOU!!" He giggled and ran away.
Alexis scowled after him.
Draco blinked. "What was that all about?"
"The potion maybe?" Alexis told him.
Draco looked confused and Alexis rolled her eyes.
"It's just one of your little silly fan girls," Alexis grumbled.
"He didn't look like a girl to me," Draco said observantly.
Alexis scowled again, "He giggled like a girl, he acted like a girl, he must be a girl."
"Whatever you say," Draco said with a shrug.
'What does that mean? Does he really? Oh Merlin, what is he doing to me?'
What the hell? Alexis looked at Draco he looked thoughtful. Alright…I'll work with this. "Dray, darling?"
"Yes?"
"Are you just going to let him get away? Raven just declared his love for you," Alexis stated. "You could use that."
Draco looked at Alexis and smiled. She was the reason he wasn't mad at Potter because of his father's 'visit' to Azkaban. The girl found a way to make Draco understand that it was mostly his father's doing. Draco haven't even spoken to her in two years, but somehow, when he thought of her, he realized that it was his father's fault, and Potter just sped it up a bit.
Draco left with a smile on his face, heading in the same direction as the raven-haired boy. Alexis followed quietly behind coming to a stop when she heard voices.
'What did I say to him? I LOVE YOU?! How could I?'
"Potter?" Draco's voice sounded tentative. "Are you alright?"
"No!" Harry yelled. "I'm bloody fantastic!"
Raven, don't screw this up! Alexis was silently cursing that idiot brother of hers.
"I just wanted to see if you were alright," Draco murmured. He turned to head to the door.
"Wait," Harry spoke. "I'm sorry."
Draco turned and looked at the raven-haired God in front of him. Harry was walking slowly towards the blond boy. His arms snaked around Draco's waist and he pulled the other close. Their mouths moved closer when suddenly, *CRASH*.
The boys jumped apart and they heard a girl yelling. "What's the matter with you!? You totally killed the mood!"
"Ow, OW!!" Draco and Harry dashed into the corridor. Alexis was slapping Blaise.
"You idiot!" She continued ranting. "They were so close!" Alexis stomped off to her next class.
"What was she talking about?" Blaise asked Draco, not noticing Harry sneaking away after Alexis.
Outside, at Hagrid's hut, Alexis was shaking in fear.
"'Ey 'Arry!" Hagrid smiled. "'Ave you seen Malfoy or Zambini?"
"We're right here," Draco panted followed by Blaise.
"Today we will be studin' an Acromantula," Hagrid began. He walked the class over to the pen where the over sized spider was. "This 'ere's a runt."
"A runt? Are you insane? This is a spider!" Alexis shrieked, near tears. The spider clicked its pincers at her and she tried to run.
Harry grabbed her. "It's just a bug."
Ron, not surprisingly spoke up. "JUST A BUG? Harry, it's a spider! S-P-I-D-E-R! One that tried to eat us second year!"
"'Friad of spiders are ye?" Hagrid grinned.
"YES!" The two yelled together. They glanced at each other and then at their teacher.
"This isn't just a spider, it's an extremely big spider," Alexis said, voice quivering. Draco and Blaise moved to their frightened friend to comfort her.
"Maybe they should go to the library and do research on them or something?" Harry said watching the color drain out of the two students' faces. "Ron'll have nightmares for weeks, Hagrid."
"Alexis is terrified of spiders because-" Draco stopped short when Alexis shot him a look.
"I-I'll st-stay…" her voice quivered.
Hagrid shook his head. "Nah, you two go to the library. Can't 'ave students goin' into shock 'round Fatum, 'ere. 'Sides Madam Pomfrey will 'ave my neck." He turned to Ron. "You'll be ok with the Slytherin?"
He shrugged. "She's just a girl."
"Ah, off you two go then," Hagrid turned to the class.
"Just a girl Red?" Alexis muttered following the boy to the castle. "I'll show you what a girl can do!"
To her surprise, he smiled at her. "Thanks for earlier."
"Uh, no problem, I guess," Alexis said as they walked into the library. Ron walked up to Madam Pince to explain the situation.
Alexis sat and pulled out her book, The Other Side of Magic, as Ron joined her. "What?" Alexis asked after a few minutes of being stared at.
"Uh, do you have a book I can borrow?" Ron asked tentatively. Alexis raised her eyebrows. "It's just that I don't want to read any of the books here."
Alexis sighed and nodded. She was defiantly not Slytherin material. The girl reached into her bag and pulled out a book entitled Magical Genealogy and handed it to the boy.
"Magical Genealogy?" he asked. Alexis' head snapped up. Oh shit, she groaned. "What's this about?"
"Maybe I should give you another book," Alexis began reaching for the book. Ron shook his head and Alexis sighed. "It just traces pure blood families back. This is the one that came out last year. It's boring really."
"Nah, could be interesting…"
"You're in there you know," Alexis was begging herself to stop talking.
"Really?" Ron sounded excited and flipped through the pages until he got to the Weasleys. "This is a cool book, may I borrow it?"
She shrugged. "I don't see why not."
"Good, because I have to go to Divination," he told her. "I wouldn't take it, but it's so easy."
"Uh, I have that class too," Alexis stood. "I don't know where to go."
"How come you're taking Divination with the Gryffindors?"
"My schedule is messed up," Alexis shrugged. "I have afternoons free."
Ron looked jealous but quickly recovered. "When do you think this potion is going to wear off?"
"Soon," she told him ascending the silver ladder behind him. "The affects should be wearing off now."
Alexis sat down in the scented room. "What does she do? Soak this room in perfume?" Alexis gagged on the scent as Ron and Harry laughed.
"You get used to it," Harry told her.
"That's what you think."
Just then, the professor walked into the room. "Welcome class. My inner eye has informed me that we have a new student joining our midst."
Alexis rolled her eyes. "Dumbledore should have told you that."
The professor ignored the comment and welcomed Alexis. Then she began lecturing on the importance of crystal balls.
"Didn't we already do crystal balls?"
"Yes, but there isn't much we can do, is there?" Raven muttered. "Palm reading, Tarot cards, crystal balls, tea leaves."
"There are the stars," Alexis muttered. "They hold many secrets; you just have to unlock them. We could also look at prophecies."
Alexis opened her book and ignored the class. This is pointless, Alexis began thinking to herself, maybe I'll go find a centaur to help me.
After class, Alexis made her way to the dungeons. She dropped her bag off in her room and walked to the Great Hall.
Blaise smiled at her and moved over. "How was class with the Gryffindors?"
"Fine, the lady is a right fraud that's for sure."
Blaise laughed. "That's what everyone says."
They ate in silence for a while before Alexis decided to go confront the mystery lover. She stood up. "Where are you going?" Draco asked her.
Alexis sat down. "I want to go check out that Finnigan character. He's yummy looking." Alexis grinned at the horrified look on Draco's face and the panicked look on Blaise's face. "Don't worry Drakey, you can join us," Alexis licked and nibbled Draco's earlobe and watched him turn crimson. She glanced at the Gryffindor table and saw Harry's eyes flash with jealousy. "Adios."
She strode over to the Gryffindor table and tapped Ron on the shoulder. "May I borrow Finnigan for a moment?" She pouted and smiled inwardly at the death glare from Granger.
"What for?" Seamus asked as Alexis sat down next to him.
"I know your secret lover," Alexis whispered in his ear. Seamus looked horrified as Alexis stood and motioned for him to follow. The boy jumped up and grabbed Alexis' hand pulling her out of the Great Hall.
"You do realize you made more of a scene than was necessary," Alexis pointed out as Blaise strode out of the Great Hall.
"What do you think you are doing?" He whispered harshly at her.
"I think I figured out who your lover is," she told him. Seamus was bright red. "Of course, if he's not, I'll always have a go with him."
Alexis laughed hysterically at the look on the boys' faces. "Oh, relax! It's so obvious you two are together, you know!"
"How's it obvious?" Seamus asked.
"Well for one Blaise only stares at the Gryffindor table," Alexis began. "And besides after I found out the secret lover was a 7th year it was all too easy."
"How so?"
"Thomas is with Female Red, Red digs Granger, Longbottom is in it with Lovegood, and Raven is just coming in terms with his sexuality," Alexis stated. "He loooooooooves Dray."
Alexis giggled at the looks on the boys faces. "Harry's gay?" Seamus asked. "Wait…is Malfoy gay?"
Alexis pointed to her nose and grinned. "Draco's bi," she said as she looked at Blaise. "Remember when you said that I was the only girl he saw?" Blaise nodded. "Well, Raven's the only boy he sees."
"Does that mean?"
Alexis' grin widened. "Think about it." Alexis turned and walked to Dumbledore's office.
"Welcome Miss Potter," Professor Dumbledore smiled as the girl walked in the room. Alexis nodded and stood in front of the desk. "Please, have a seat."
Alexis took a seat and looked at the professor. He was digging in a box labeled "Lemon Drops". She shook her head when he offered her one. "Professor, if you don't mind, may we get this over with?"
"Of course," Dumbledore looked somber. "How are you getting along?"
"Fine," she told him. "Everything's fine."
"You seem to be getting along with the Gryffindors," Dumbledore stated. Alexis looked at the man. "Very well…we shall start with your meditation session."
Alexis stood and sat cross-legged on the floor in the center of the office. The portraits of the former headmasters paid close attention to the lessons talking place. "Alright Miss Potter, listen to my voice and clear your mind of all thoughts."
Alexis took a deep breath and closed her eyes, mind clear. She carefully listened to the professor. "Relax your body, your mind, your soul. Look into your mind for the hidden knowledge within you…"
Alexis heard the man's voice get quieter, although she knew the man was talking at the same volume. Soon, she didn't hear his voice at all.
'Alexis, you join us at last," the man in front of her began. 'It's a pleasure to see you again.'
'So says you,' she heard her voice. 'There are other ways to get my attention other than kidnapping me and forcing me into the middle of no where.'
'Hold your tongue, girl,' Voldemort said.
Alexis growled and stood straight. "Or what?"
Voldemort raised his eyebrow and signaled Marcus. "Gladly, My Lord."
Alexis stared at him, daring the man to do his Master's dirty work. 'Crucio!'
Alexis fell to the ground clenching her teeth in pain, refusing to cry out. Marcus called it out a few more times before Voldemort stopped him. 'Enough!'
Alexis groaned in pain as she stood up. 'Growing warm, Tom?'
Voldemort scowled at her, and then suddenly he smiled. 'Your brother will arrive soon enough, as well as the younger Malfoy.'
'Don't touch them!' Alexis shouted.
'You will give me what I want to ensure their safety then, won't you?'
'They wouldn't want me to.'
Suddenly Draco and Harry arrived, seething. 'Let her go, Voldemort!' Harry yelled holding his wand up. 'It's me you want!'
'Raven, go!' Alexis shouted being grabbed from behind. Her bruises were healing, but slowly. 'Draco, take him! Please! Just go!'
'Young Malfoy,' Voldemort began. 'You've come to join our circle at last.'
Draco stood shocked, torn between his father's choice for him and his choice for himself.
Harry stood before Voldemort. 'You want me fucker! Come get me!'
'No!' Draco and Alexis shouted.
'Very well,' Voldemort muttered, signaling to men to restrain Draco and Harry. 'Crucio!'
The two boys saw the girl fall to the ground, clenching the ground in pain. After the curse was lifted, Alexis stood shaking, 'Is that the best you can do?'
Voldemort grinned and 'Crucio' the boys. 'Draco, will you join us?'
'I will not let you take away the only family Alexis has left! I will not let you take away the only chance I have for love!' Draco received the Crucio curse until he passed out. Harry ran up to Draco and held him.
'You bastard!'
'Crucio!' Voldemort held the curse until Harry, too, passed out.
'NO!' Alexis broke away from the man restraining her. 'You God Damned Fucker!'
'Give me what I want and I promise the two will survive,' Voldemort growled.
'No,' she rushed to the boys and cried. 'Oh, Merlin, give me the strength to do my job.'
She kissed Draco's forehead and ran her hand over Harry's scar. Alexis placed both of her hands on the boys' chests. Her bruises and cuts stopped healing and the boys' faded. Once the boys came through, Alexis passed out blinded with pain.
Alexis screamed in pain and snapped out of her vision. Alexis tugged at the handkerchief around her neck. She was blind with pain, tears running down her cheeks.
Dumbledore rushed over and got the handkerchief off the girl. Her scar was blood red and Alexis sobbed silently until the pain disappeared.
"What did you see?" Dumbledore asked, listening to the girl recount what she saw. Finally, he nodded. "Alright, I believe you have had enough for the day."
Alexis was hugging her knees in a cold sweat, still crying. She nodded wordlessly. "You may leave when you are ready."
Alexis stood shakily and walked out of the office and down to the dungeons. She felt like she walked into a wall. "Are you ok?"
Alexis looked up, bloodshot eyes, and saw Seamus. "Nothing."
"You sure?" Seamus asked sweetly. "You look like shit."
"Thanks," Alexis leaned against the wall. Her shaking subsided and she wiped her face dry. "How do I look now?"
"Not bad," Seamus told her. "You sure you're ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Alexis smiled. "Have fun with Blaise tonight!"
Seamus grinned stupidly. "Will do." With that, the two separated and continued walking.
Alexis finally reached the Common room. She smiled looking at Draco and strode over to him. Alexis crawled into the boy's lap and grinned at him.
Alexis placed a chaste kiss on Draco's mouth and moved to his neck. "Draco?"
"What?"
"Do you," Alexis kissed Draco's mouth. "Like Raven?"
"What?" Draco looked shocked. "I don't fancy him."
"Really now?" Alexis placed her head on his shoulder and played with the buttons on his shirt. "Are you sure? You know you can't hide things from me."
'What should I tell her? I'm in love with two Potters?'
"Don't be ridiculous!" Alexis told him. "You don't love me."
"Of course I do," Draco told her.
Alexis rolled her eyes. "We're best friends, of course you love me. But you're not in love with me."
'Am I in love with Potter?'
"You tell me."
Alexis stood and walked to her room. She looked into the mirror and realized she forgot her handkerchief in Dumbledore's office. Oh shit, Alexis thought, I wonder if Seamus noticed. She rubbed the scar that still throbbed, but the pain was quickly receding.
"Alex?" Alexis turned and saw Blaise. "Seamus told me you didn't look well."
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" He looked worried.
Alexis was tying a new emerald handkerchief around her neck, covering the scar. "Positive. No worries Blaise, I'm fine."
"Alright," Blaise sat on the bed as Draco walked in.
"I DO NOT LOVE POTTER!"
Both Blaise and Alexis raised their eyebrows. "Oh, really now?" Alexis asked as Draco turned a deep crimson. "That wasn't the question anyways. I just asked if you liked him."
Blaise grinned. "It seems like you've said more than you meant too."
Draco growled and stormed out as Pansy stormed in. "Stay away from Draco!"
"Or what?" Alexis challenged. "You would do what to me?"
"Do yourself a favor and keep away," Pansy clenched her teeth together.
"He's not interested in you," Alexis told her starting her Potions homework. "You should just let it go."
"What would you know about it?"
"Why don't you try Vince?" Alexis smiled. "You two would go good together. And I hear he's a good fuck."
Pansy looked as though she was thinking about the idea. "Just-just stay away from Draco," Pansy finally said softly. She grinned and walked out.
"Playing matchmaker, are we?" Alexis just raised her eyebrows. "Well, dinner is starting. Are you coming?"
Alexis shrugged and followed. Blaise finally spoke, "What are we going to do with you?"
"What are you talking about?" Alexis glanced at him.
"I mean," Blaise took a breath. "You've pretty much got Pansy and Vince together just by that fuck comment and Draco and Harry. You had to pick the two most unlikely people to get together. So it'd be only right to fix you up."
"And with whom?"
"Haven't figured that out," Blaise said. "Can't be a Gryf, they're all taken. Not a Hufflepuff, so a Slytherin or Ravenclaw. Hmmmm…Maybe a graduate."
"Whatever," Alexis rolled her eyes. She started eating and glanced at the Gryffindor table and noticed Ron and Seamus talking. Alexis suddenly felt paranoid. Did Seamus see the scar? Is that what they're talking about?
After what felt like forever, Alexis was tapped on the shoulder. "Don't you have a detention?"
"Oh, right!" Alexis jumped up and headed to the Potions classroom. She arrived soon after Harry. "Hello Raven," Alexis said dully.
Harry nodded to her and continued pacing. Suddenly he stopped. "How did a Slytherin get a detention with Snape?"
Alexis shrugged. "I was disturbing the peace."
"For that you get a detention?"
Alexis shrugged. "He went to school with my father. They never got along."
"I thought the Cadogan's were American," Harry sounded confused.
"They are," Alexis told him trying to stop talking.
"Then how-" Harry was cut off by Ron walking in the room. He looked quickly at Alexis and then greeted Harry.
"Hey Raven?" Harry turned to face the red-headed girl. "What do you think of Dray?"
"Dra-er, Malfoy?" Alexis nodded. "He's an evil little git. Spoiled too."
Alexis laughed. "That's true, but that doesn't stop you from loving him, does it?"
Harry looked shocked. "How-why-I-"
"How's it going with Granger?"
"Perfect," Ron said. "We have our first date during the Hogsmeade weekend coming up."
Alexis nodded as Snape walked in. "Miss Cadogan, you are aware that there is a house rivalry between your house and Gryffindor?"
"Yes, but rules and traditions are made to be broken," Alexis smirked.
Ron grinned and glanced at Harry who looked shocked.
"You sound like that father of yours," Snape muttered. "The three of you are to clean this room from top to bottom without magic."
Harry and Ron groaned and Alexis grinned. "Great, I forgot my wand too!"
Snape growled and walked out of the room leaving the three alone. "How do you forget your wand?" Harry asked. "It's practically an extension of your body once you start using it!"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," Alexis told him smirking. "Shall we clean so we can leave?"
Everyone started with different areas of the room and soon they were finished.
"See yah," Alexis yawned and stretched, headed off to the Slytherin Common Room.
"Cadogan," Pansy shrieked when Alexis walked in the room.
"Not now Pansy," the girl yawned falling onto the couch. "I'm not in the mood."
"Vince told me you slept with him!" She shrieked.
"First I never slept with him," Alexis told her yawning again. "Second, why do you care?"
"I don't," Pansy looked at Alexis. "You never did?"
"No I didn't," She told the other girl. "I slept with Draco, Zachary, and Antonio. No Vince."
"You slept with Draco?"
Alexis rolled her eyes as Draco walked over to her. "Go to bed," Draco demanded, probably just to save Alexis from Pansy's 3rd degree and Pansy from Alexis' temper.
Alexis stood and stumbled into her bed. She yawned sleepily as Draco pulled her up. "Come on, get ready for bed."
"Too tired…just going to sleep in my clothes."
"Rough day?"
"No kidding," Alexis yawned as Draco began helping her undress. "Thank you, Dray," she murmured as he tucked her in. He quietly walked out as Alexis muttered, "Sweet dreams about Raven."
