CHAPTER 1
"Good morning, Sunshine!" Draco Malfoy laughed, pushing a blonde girl to the floor.
The girl's heavy black bag landed with several thuds as her books scattered all over the corridor. She wearily pulled herself feet, her left arm limp.
"Oh sorry, Sunny. Did I hurt you?" Draco laughed again.
"Of course you hurt her, Malfoy. That's all your good for. Now that the damage is done, why don't you beat it?" A tall black haired boy with glasses said as he walked bravely up to Draco.
Draco merely glared at him as he walked away.
As soon as Draco was gone, the boy fell to his knees and collected her books and handed them to her.
"Hi, I'm Harry Potter. I don't believe we've met." He said.
"I know who you are." She blushed fiercely.
"Well, can I get a name?" Harry smiled.
"Alex." She said.
The black haired boy gazed into Alex's clear blue eyes questionably.
Alex noticed his messy hair, and vivid green eyes the instant he looked at her. Harry had a strong build and muscles, most likely from his years of playing Quidditch.
"My name's Alexia. I prefer Alex." She said.
"That's a pretty name." He said, leaning toward her.
Alex took a step back; "Well, thanks for saving me from big, evil Draco. You've proven your arrogance; may I be excused? I'll be late for Transfiguration."
"Is that really what you think of me?" Harry said taken aback.
"It's only what I've heard." She said apologetically.
"Could you give me a chance to prove you wrong? You can maybe get to know me if we spend some time together."
Alex giggled softly, "Is the famous Harry Potter asking me out?"
"Yes, he is and he also would like to walk you to class." Harry smiled.
"I'd love to see you," Alex said, "Today, before dinner? Out by the lake?"
"That would be perfect. How about walking you to class?" Harry laughed.
"Now, you're pushing it." Alexia said simply as she took up her bag and went to Transfiguration.
