*****************************************************
Swishy Willow Wand: hey hey my favorite person in the whole wide world just kidding I don't like u that much. jk. ok now i'm confusing myself so it is time to shut up. well thanx for reviewing and thanx for the info, i'm a little slow these days to much information from school. the boy vibes well . . . just a sec . . . (sits still and listens) . . . well . . . um I can't feel them or hear them (like u could hear them but it was worth a try) so i think ya safe.
JadedRoses: well. . . um . . . thanx for reviewing. i don't really care if u think they shouldn't say homeys and if u looked at the context she was joking like she was just messen' around wit him. she was using it in a way that she wouldn't use normally. u can't tell me that u haven't once used a word from a different dialect just for the hell of it. it is tooooo bad that i can't seem to make up MY OWN stories using the facts that I WANT. cuz if i could do that i would let Draco not know where Durmstrang is. i would also let him dislike pansy. well u think that i "Americanize" everything then i guess wicked has now become an American word. and did u by ne chance read ne of the words around the word sprout. well if u didn't i think i said, 'u want to no a quick little fact my mom's madden name was sprout. just though u might want to no that prolly not tho.' to me i don't call that bragging but i guess in jadedrose's world it is. if u haven't noticed already i can't take it when people constantly critise me, with out once having ne thang good to say, not even just one little thang good, and u have reviewed for at least 5 if not more of the chapters. and then after i have used sum of ya comments about changes in my story u have the nerve to tell me that is hasn't improved all that much.
Chaos-Fyre-Elf31: kewl on a list woo ya baby. and i am always ready for constructive criticism or suggestion unless that is all u eva tell be then i might get a little pissey. i like the idea and i hope that i did a good job in this chapter, although i can't promise it in every chapter cuz it sumtimes just doesn't really fit. thanx for review number two, keep them coming.
bite: thanx it is always great to have a new reviewer ya baby. and about the link i tried it. it work and all but it is a bit confusing to understand. thanx for reviewing.
woooooooo that took enough space and time, well now to the story
O and ya keep reviewing everyone

Chapter 7: Don't You Wish You KnewAlexis and Draco were the first ones done, because it had been really easy to do with two people. It turned out that Alexis really hadn't needed the help because Herbology had been one of her favorite class, and she had known all the plants. To Alexis's great surprise she had actually had to help Draco with 3 of the plants.
Professor Sprout let Alexis and Draco go early because they had told her that they had homework to do, and they needed to visit the library. Alexis had headed for the library to go sit with Draco, thinking that he had really had homework.
When Draco saw Alexis heading towards the library he pulled his head back and made a look as though he thought she was crazy.
" What? I though we were headed for the library?" she said looking curiously at Draco.
"Oh, yeah, you're a smart one," Draco said shaking his head as he headed for the Slytherin common room.
Alexis ran up behind him, "Good cause I really didn't want to go up there. But you are sure that they won't notice, aren't you?"
Draco stopped and looked at Alexis. Then he walked off without saying a word, leaving her in his dust.
"Loven' that answer, Malfoy," she said as she again started to follow him
When she got to the trapdoor she muttered 'Basilisk Venom' and walked in.
Draco was sitting on one of the black leather couches in front of the fire place. Even though there were numerous black leather couches and chairs scattered around the room, the ones in front of the fire place were the best. Alexis flopped her book bag on the couch across from Draco and then flopped down herself, "So what are we going to do now? I don't have another class till after lunch, and I'm guessing that sense you are going to be a healer to then, you probably don't have the same schedule as me."
"Well I don't know what you are going to do put I'm going to sit here and think and maybe read out of a Quidditch book, and as for the second part yep you are right," he said slouching down on the couch.
"Well you are boring," she said getting up and walking away. She headed for her dormitory but then turned around walked back to the couch, and grabbed her bag. She then once again headed to her dormitory.
Alexis sat down on her bed and pulled a piece of parchment out of her bag. She began to write a letter to her parents, who had told her to write when she arrived.
******
Within the next 45 minutes she had managed to write a letter to her parents and 2 short ones to her friends from Durmstrang.
She headed down to the common room, carrying her backpack.
There she found some other 6th years, along with some other 4th through 7th years. She figured the bell had already rung for lunch, she threw her bag in one of the chairs, and began looking around for Draco. She didn't see him anywhere. Just then someone said, "Who you looking for?'
Alexis turned around to find Blaise, "Draco, you seen him?"
"I think he headed up to his dorm."
"Oh, well, then I'll ask you. Where is the Owlrey?"
"Um. . . well . . . just let me show you because it is a little hard to give direction there," Blaise said getting up.
Crabbe who was sitting beside him asked, "Where you going?"
"I'm going to show Alexis where the Owlrey is."
"The what?" Crabbe asked looking confused.
"The OWLREY!" Blaise said slowly so that Crabbe could comprehend it.
"What?!?"
"Do I need to spell it out for you. O-W-L-. . . wait it isn't any use, you don't know how to spell. We are going to head to the library."
"The what?"
"Never mind."
"Okay see you at lunch."
"If there is any food left when you get done," Blaise muttered as he walked to the trapdoor. Alexis followed him.
"That was hilarious," Alexis said bursting out laughing as soon as she was out the door.
"God he is a MORON! Some times he gets on my nerves! I mean he can be funny sometimes but the other times. . .AAARRRHHH," he said clenching his teeth and fists.
"Oh come on he isn't really that bad, I'm sure. . . well. . . um. . . maybe?" Alexis smiling.
"He is, trust me."
"Okay well I guess I do," she said laughing.
***
They continued to talk about normal kids stuff: like sports (Quidditch) and friends, on the way up to the Owlrey.
***
When they arrived Alexis asked, "Will you help me look for my owl?"
"Sure, what does it look like?" Blaise responded.
"Well, she is a Boreal Owl she is what you call earless, and she is chocolate colored with white streaks. She also has a thick black stripe right under her head, and she is really tame, so don't worry about her."
Blaise walked off in one direction around the circular tower, while Alexis took off in the other direction.
Within a minute Blaise call out, "I think I found her."
Alexis walked over to where Blaise was and sure enough there was Macy, "Hey there Macy. Her name is Macy if you haven't guessed. It means enduring."
"Cool," he said sounding only half interested.
"Yeah I'm sure that is what you think," she said walking over to the window. She gave the letter for her parents to Macy and said, "This goes to mom and dad." She watched as she flew off.
She turned around and walked back to Blaise, "So does the school have any owls that I can borrow to send these letters?"
"Well, yeah but you can borrow my owl if you want for one of the letters."
"Oh no that is okay I'll just borrow the school."
"No, just use mine."
"Okay if you insist," she said and then Blaise lead her to his owl. He had a Great Horned owl.
"This is Fred, and I don't have any idea what Fred means but yeah," his owl was rather large and was speckled with brown, white and black feathers.
Alexis smirked, "Oh, okay, I'll find out for you, what his name means. Here is one of the letters, it goes to Jamie. Where are the school owls?"
"Just around the corner."
***
Alexis found one of the school's barn owls to use for Becki's letter. It was a normal barn owl tan and white.
She walked over to the window and let the owl go. It flew off, Alexis watched it until it was no more than a speck on the horizon.
"This is a nice view," she said
"Yeah I guess."
"Okay I guess that is something I should discuss with a girl isn't," she said smirking at him.
"Yeah," he laughed.
"No wait I can discuss it with you cause you are a girl," she said turning to him laughing.
"What?" he asked. He started to chaise after her.
She ran.
***
They ended up running all the way down to the Great Hall. When they arrived they were both panting, but Alexis not nearly as bad as Blaise.
Alexis took a seat across Draco.
"What exactly were you doing?" Draco asked looking rather disturbed.
"Don't you wish you knew," Alexis said laughing.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Draco asked.
"Don't you wish you knew," Alexis replied yet again.
Draco gave her a disturbed look and pushed his plate out in front of him. "I'm not hungry anymore."
Alexis and Blaise laughed hysterically. Alexis was almost to the point of crying.
When she finally got control of herself, "I was just joking with you, I called him a girl and he chased me all the way from the Owlrey."
"Oh," Draco said, "but after the image I just saw in my head I'm still not hungry."
"Oh, gross, Draco," Alexis said covering her eyes and shacking her head.
Blaise was laughing at Draco.
"What do you have to laugh about, you were panting like a dog when you came in here and Alexis was barely breathing heavy. You must be really out of shape."
Alexis looked up and at Blaise, she laughed, "Woo dissed and dismissed."
Draco smirked at Alexis but got up and headed for the Slytherin common room. Alexis jumped up and ran after him.
When she was right behind him she put her hands on her shoulders and jumped up pushing off his shoulders. "HEY DRACO!"
"What?" he asked sounding perturbed.
She looked at him, "What is wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
"So basically nothing that you want to tell me, and I am guessing you don't want to tell Blaise either."
Draco threw Alexis the look.
"Looks like someone got up on the wrong side of the bed."
Draco continued to walk, without giving any recognition of Alexis talking
"If you tell me I'll be your bestest friend ever," she said giving him a cheesy smile.
Draco turned and smiled at Alexis.
She smirked back at him. "Gotcha! You don't ever win when you are competing with the one and only Alexis Stanford, she is legendary." She turned and once again gave Draco on of her legendary half-cheesy-half-real-smiles.
"Whoa, that is one good résumé," Draco said sarcastically.
"That wasn't my résumé, my résumé would take hours to tell someone," she joked right back.
"You wish."
"I don't have to wish, it's true."
Draco rolled his eyes and said nothing. He walked to the trapdoor, muttered the password, and walked in.
Draco began to gather up his things for his afternoon classes. "You know you had better get your stuff ready because the bell rings in 10 minutes," he reminded her.
"Shit!" she cussed, "Um will you bring my bag when you come please, I need to go grab something to eat. Got to keep this figure up," she joked. "My bag is in one of the chairs over there," she pointed to the other side of the room as she walked to the door. "Thanks, you're a doll."
