A month had passed sense the incident in the Owlrey, no one knew of it. No one was surprised my Alexis and Draco's dating, they had all thought it would have happened sooner. They didn't publicly show there affection for each other, but it was Hogwarts, everyone knew.

It was they day for the long awaited Slytherin vs. Gryffindor quidditch match. Alexis's mom had even come, and of course Draco's father was present.

They walked down to the pitch an hour before the game. Alexis changed into her robes and then headed out so Draco could show them the plays once again and give them a slight prep talk, which consisted of "They are bloody Gryffindor's we can beat their bloody arses." This was normal.

They took to the pitch and Draco and Harry shook hands, each shooting daggers at one and other. Madam Hooch blew her whistle and people shot of in all directions.

:-:-:

After an hour and a half of diving around through the rain (it had begun to sprinkle half way through the game, and then started raining fifteen minutes later) had come to an end, 250 to 210.

Ally had almost collapsed under the pressure, and it didn't help that she nearly got taken out by a bludger 3 times. Almost every time, Gryffindor went to score they made it, Ally had only blocked 4 of their shots. Draco began to get mad at her, making her even more flustered. But after diving around looking for the snitch for what seemed like forever, Potter and Malfoy finally saw it and chased it around for another 15 minutes, then one inched a little further ahead of the other and Gryffindor lost.

The Slytherin section erupted into cheers, and made as much noise as the other 3 houses combined. The team stood on the field celebrating for what seemed like forever. When the were done Alexis and Draco walked up to their parents,

Alexis's mom resembled her greatly, she was tall and had blonde hair, but hers was short. She saw her and smiled. "Great game," she said smiling.

"Thanks," Alexis beamed.

"But you could have done much better. You could have caught that ball that red headed girl dropped. I think her name was Ginny Weasley, which would explain the red hair."

"Yeah, I know mother."

"And that one time you went to score, but that other Weasley kid, Ron I think, caught it. Fake it, it throws them off."

"Yeah I forgot," she paused, "Well I'm freezing, wet, I stink, I'd better go shower. See you at Christmas."

"Bye."

"Bye mother," she said walking away, her mother turned to talk to Snape.

:-:-:

An hour or so after the game Draco sat on a bench in the locker room. Everyone had left; the crowd and the team, who had left about 15 minutes prior. He was waiting for Alexis, who hadn't come out from the girls locker rooms yet.

He decided to get up and know on the door. He heard no reply. He knocked again, and this time said, "Alexis." There was still no reply. He opened to door a crack, and peeked in, he didn't see her, but he heard water running. He figured she was still taking a shower so he shut the door and sat down for another 20 minutes, then knocked on the door again, there was yet again no reply. He walked in; she wasn't there, so he decided to walk back to the showers.

For not being used in quite some time the locker room looked fairly decent. One of the showers was running, "Alexis?" no answer. He gradually pulled the curtain back. There sat a body, fully clothed in Green and Sliver Quidditch robes. Blonde hair dark from water was strewn over her back. He shook her arm, she looked up at him slowly, her lips purple.

He shook his head, and turned of the freezing cold water. He pulled out his wand and preformed a drying spell over her. He pulled her up and walked her out, and sat her on a bench. "What was that for?" he asked, as she shivered, he but a warming spell on her. This did very little, but he couldn't do more without harming her more. He sat beside her with his arm around her, trying to warm her more.

She had an angry look on her face, "Mother," she spat, and before he could ask she answered, "What is wrong with her? Does she not understand I can't be everywhere at once, I can't do everything right? I'm not perfect like her." She shook her head.

"What?" he asked calmly, trying to warm her up.

"According to her I suck."

"She said that to you?"

"Well no, but it was: 'But you could have done much better. You could have caught that ball the red headed girl dropped. I think her name was Ginny Weasley, which would explain the red hair.' and, 'And that one time you went to score, but that other Weasley kid, Ron I think, caught it. Fake it, it throws them off.' Told you, 'I suck'."

"You were great."

"Not according to her," she said getting up throwing his hand off her, "UUUHHH!!! I'm not good enough for her."

"But does she matter?" he said trying to comfort her.

"She is my mother!" she yelled. "I was never good enough, NEVER! It was what she wanted not what I want. NEVER!"

He sat there quietly.

"I never wanted anything I did, not swimming, not all these schools, most of my friends, not the Quidditch I did when I was younger, NOT MY LIFE. I was forced to do it ALL, I couldn't just be a little girl. NO, I had to swim, play with boys, play quidditch instead of dolls, and grow my hair out. I've made no decisions of my own until now and now she has to interfere again.

He couldn't think of anything to say, for her knew how she felt, trapped.

"I HATE HER, I HATE DAD! He was just as bad; never let me go out of the house, be my self, have a personality. Damn him, Damn HER, DAMN EVERYONE!" and with that she stormed out. He followed her.

She headed for the castle, and went through Great Hall, and headed but sets of stairs. He knew where she was headed and didn't follow. She was going to clear her mind, and he didn't want to interfere.
