CHAPTER 11: The Day After

She opened her eyes, and squinted. The sun was shinning through the window full blast, it might have been pretty, if her eyes were adjusted to light, but at the moment, all she saw was bright yellow with lots of black spots

Alexis blinked her eyes a couple of times so they would slowly get used to the light. She turned over on her back, and there was a pain in her abs, so she turned back onto her stomach. There once again was a pain in her abs. She moved her arm on top of her pillow, there was a pain in her shoulder.

"What in bloody hell is going on," she thought. The she remembered what she had done the night before.

She had swam for the first time in about a month, it didn't surprise her any that she was sore. It was her fault she didn't stretch before or after she swam. How stupid she had been, she was going to pay today.

She slide to the side of her bed and sat up, but not without a lot of pain. She slowly got up and walked to the bathroom. She didn't need to shower sense she had just taken one last night after she got done swimming.

She came back and changed into jeans, an orange tank top, a black hooded sweatshirt which read on the front in small white all lower case letters, stop starring at me, and on the back stop following me. She walked over to the small chest of drawers, and pulled out a pair of ankle-high socks. She walked over to her armoire, and got her silver Nike Shox, with orange swooshes, columns, and laces. She sat on the edge of her bed and put her socks and shoes on. This was a very painful process considering she had to bend over.

She walked down to the common room. Blaise and Draco were sitting in 2 chairs.

Alexis walked over and sat on the arm of Blaise's chair.

"Hey Zabini," she punched him lightly on the arm.

"Hey Stanford"

"What time is it?" she asked.

"When I got up it 8:45 when I got up, but I've been up for awhile."

Alexis nodded in recognition, "Have you guys eaten?"

"Yeah"

"Ok I'll just wait till lunch then."

"So where were you guys last night?"

Draco looked over at Alexis, with a look in his eyes. She could tell he didn't want her to tell Blaise what they had done.

"Malfoy just showed me around the castle," it wasn't a total lie she thought.

"That took all night?"

"Come on Zabini the castle is huge," Malfoy said with a slight smirk.

"Oh."

"So what do you guys want to do today?" Alexis asked, "I've got an essay for Snape to finish, but that is all."

"Yeah I have to finish that, too," Draco added.

"Not me, I finished all my homework, while you and Malfoy, were out gallivanting around the castle."

"You sound like McGonagall. You will just have to find something to keep you busy while, me and Alexis do ours," Draco said the Blaise, he turned to Alexis, "Lets go outside and work on it, it looks nice out there."

"Sure, sounds great, I don't think I have been outside sense Quidditch Try-outs on Thursday, I've just been too busy," she said, "Well just a sec I've got to go get my bag."

"Yeah, me too, meet ya back down here," Draco said. As he got up, he winced.

Alexis chuckled lightly, he was sore, too.

Blasie, Draco, and Alexis walked out the castle and onto the grounds. The sun was shining down on the green grass. There was a slight breeze. Malfoy and Alexis walked over to a bench sitting under a tree. Blaise had gone off to go find Crabbe and Goyle who had taken off outside after Blaise, Draco and them, had gotten done eating.

Malfoy and Alexis sat down. She pulled out her potions book, the book she had gotten from the library, and the start of her essay. She then searched around in her bag to find a quill and her bottle of ink.

"You a little sore?" she asked as she finally found her bottle of ink.

"Bloody hell, I didn't know you could get this sore from swimming, I could barely bend over to tie my shoes," he said this as he pulled out what he needed from his bag; he winced once again when he bent over.

Alexis laughed, "Told you that you would get sore, you should have stretched out like I advised you to do."

"WELL SOR-RE, Miss-I-Know-It-All."

Alexis shrugged this comment off. She began to work on her essay.

After about a half hour Alexis had finished her paper.

"Well I think I'm going to go find Crabbe, Goyle, and Zabini, see what they are up to," she said as she packed her things in her bag. "Would you take my bag when you go in, but if you come over and find us, bring it with, would ya?"

"You're leaving me here by myself?" he asked, as she stood up.

"You're a big boy Malfoy, I think you can handle it," she said and walked off.

Alexis found Blaise, Crabbe, and Goyle over on the far side of the lake. They were skipping rocks. Well Blaise was, and Crabbe and Goyle were finding the biggest rocks they could carry, and throwing them in, and laughing (more or less grunting) whenever one of the made a big splash.

"Hey guys," she said as she walked up to them.

"Oh hey, I thought you were doing you homework with Malfoy," Blaise said as skipped a small stone across the lake.

"Yeah I got done," she said, "Hey, can you teach me how to do that; I never could get it to skip."

"Sure, I tried to teach them," he said pointing over his shoulder, at Crabbe and Goyle, who were now both carrying one large rock, towards the water, "but it's hopeless."

They tossed the large rock into the water and it made a plunk sound, and a large splash. Crabbe and Goyle grunted hysterically.

"How do they find that so funny?" Alexis whispered to Blaise.

He shrugged his shoulders. "I'll teach you how to skip rocks, just go find some small rocks that are flattish, they usually skip the best."

"Are you sure they have to be small?" Alexis asked with a smirk on her face.

He just gave her a glare, even though he knew she was kidding.

Alexis and Blaise walked into the common room at 5:30, they were laughing. Malfoy was sitting on one of the couches, next to him was his book bag, and Alexis's was on the other side.

Blaise and Alexis plopped down on the couch across from Draco; they were holding their sides and laughing.

"Where have you guys been all this time?" Draco asked with a curious look on his face.

Alexis caught her breath and said, "Skipping rocks." Then she turned and looked at Blaise, she burst out laughing again.

"Oh, but you guys weren't at lunch?"

"Oh don't remind me I'm starving," she said catching her breath, "I didn't eat breakfast or lunch."

"Well I'm sure they have dinner out already."

"No we were just through there and it wasn't out yet," Blaise added.

"Oh, it will be soon."

No one said anything.

"Did you see the bulletin board, our first Hogsmede visit is next Saturday. It says that is when we have to get our attire for your welcoming ball."

"Don't remind me of that either, I hate to think that I have to dance with whole bunch of people I don't know."

"Oh, I see."

"Lets head up to the Great Hall, I don't care anymore if I have to sit and wait there for the food I am way too hungry," Alexis said getting up.

"Okay you guys go ahead I've got to go to the bathroom," said Blaise.

"Okay, see you up there."

Alexis and Malfoy head out the trapdoor.

"Um, Alexis I know that you said that you didn't want to talk about the ball, but I wanted to know if you wanted to go with me?" Malfoy asked before they were but a few steps from the trapdoor.

"I'd love to go with you, too, but Blaise already asked," not acting the least bit surprised that he had asked, or sorry that she couldn't go with him.

"Oh, cool."

"Yep"
