Lexi slumped back onto her pillows and sighed. Today had been one of the best days in her life. She had been shown around the common room by Sadie and Skyler and was now relaxing, getting ready for bed. She had also just sent her parents a letter about her first day.
She heard a small grunt at the bed next to her. Startled, she looked over to see Linwe Cendal, another third year. Her short, layered, black hair was sprawled all over her pillow and she was sleeping spread eagle on her bed.
"Linwe. Linwe!" Lexi whispered. Linwe coughed and sat up.
"Lexi? What is it?" The girl asked quietly, trying not to disturb her roommates.
"Oh, well, I was wondering if you wanted to talk."
"What about?" Linwe groaned, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Nothing in particular."
"Good, I like talking about that." Linwe said with a smile.
* * *
"Harry, we have a letter from Lexi!" Hermione exclaimed as she opened the window for one of the Hogwarts owls. Harry hopped off the couch.
"We do? Read it aloud to me." Hermione nodded
"Dear Mom and Harry,
You will never believe it! I'm in Gryffindor! The Sorting Hat told me you guys were also in this house, so it cheered me up a bit. I've made some new friends too: Sadie Weasley and Skyler Thomas. I had a run in on the train with Jamie but I got through it alight.
I am about to go to sleep, so I will make this short. Mom, you can only read this! Ok…Harry stop looking over her shoulder! I know you are!
So mom, are you guys getting engaged? I'm waiting for it and I'm sure you are too!
Ok, I'm off. I love you both!
Love from Lexi"
Harry reveled in excitement. "She's in Gryffindor? That's smashing!"
"And she's already made some new friends! She even knows Sadie Weasley!"
"That reminds me, I have to owl Ron and find out what house Audrey is in."
*A/N: I know that scene totally sucked*
* * *
Lexi put on a gruesome face as she walked into the dank, dark Potions classroom. Her schedule said that she had double potions with the Slytherins. JUST PERFECT!
Just as she walked in Jamie, who was sitting with two boys who she found out to be Garret Campbell and Kevin Scott, turned around and sneered. She continued to stare in disgust. He sniggered and grabbed the girl who was practically sitting on him and kissed her.
Lexi felt hot tears prick the back of her eyes. She felt a hand on her arm and turned to see Sadie with comforting eyes.
"Are you going to sit down?" Lexi nodded and squeezed her eyes shut to push back the oncoming tears. She and Sadie walked over to where Skyler was sitting. He looked up at her and smiled. She gave him a small wave and sat. As soon as her backside touched the chair the door flew open with a loud slam and a greasy haired man who looked to be in his late forty's came into the classroom with a sneer.
"As you all should know, except for our new student that was too lazy to join us in first year, I am Professor Snape." Lexi rained an eyebrow. This should be interesting…
* * *
"Merlin! That was torture!" Sadie exclaimed as soon as they walked out of the classroom into the cold, stony corridor. Lexi and Skyler nodded.
"He is such a bastard!" Skyler exclaimed. Lexi was still disgusted that Professor Snape was treating her like she was a flobberworm, and he didn't even know her! Her mother and father did go to this school but it couldn't be the same teacher still holding a grudge, could it?
"What do you have next Lexi?" Sadie asked her as they turned the corner to see the rotating stairs. They had to wait of the staircase to come around again before they could proceed.
Lexi pulled her schedule out of her bag.
"I have a half hour break, and then I have…Divination! Oh no, I hate that class!" Skyler cringed.
"That room does wonders to my allergies, and not in a good way." He told Lexi as they boarded the stair case and walked up. She had to ask how to get to the classroom because Sadie and Skyler did not have it at the same time.
"Well just be glad its not doubles." Sadie said as they parted and waved. Her two friends were off to History of Magic.
Lexi decided to start to make her way to Divination now, because the directions she was given seemed complicated. As she turned to go up a couple more flights of steps to the seventh floor corridor, she heard two girls come up behind her. She knew one as Kara Blant but she didn't know the other girl. Kara had short, light brown hair and brown eyes while the other girl had shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes.
"You're Alexis Granger, aren't you?" The unidentified girl asked Lexi. She nodded.
"It's Lexi, but yes I am." The girls looked at each other.
"I'm Alannah Rivers and this is Kara Blant. So…I see you hanging around Skyler Thomas. Are you close?" Lexi stiffened. Why did she want to know about Skyler?
"Yes," She replied warily. The girls looked excited. "I guess we are." Alannah's smile brightened.
"Do you think you could introduce me?" Alannah replied, her eyeballs practically falling out of their sockets.
"I guess I could. You're not a Slytherin though, are you?" Alannah gasped as if it was an insult.
"Merlin, no! We're both Hufflepuffs." Lexi sighed in relief. She did not want to be near any Slytherins at the moment.
"I guess I could. Meet me outside the Great Hall at lunch time and I'll see is I can find him." Lexi told her, the correct staircase coming around.
The two Hufflepuffs skipped away in excitement and left Lexi to find the Divination classroom.
* * *
Finally coming to the top of a long flight of stairs in the North Tower, Lexi saw about 20 kids crowded into a small room, slowly climbing a ladder through a trap door.
'This must be it.' She thought. The good thing about this class was that she wasn't behind on anything. Everyone started Divination in Third year.
Finally, it was her turn. She crawled up the ladder and was immediately encased in a strong smell of perfume and incense. The heat was enough to bring you to heat stroke and everyone was coughing.
"Welcome, students, to your first Divination lesson. I am Professor Trelawney, a true Seer." A few kids sniggered.
Lexi raised an eyebrow. A true Seer? This should get interesting.
"Today, we will be starting lessons with palm reading."
Trelawney began to explain how she began palm reading while everyone rolled their eyes in doubt.
"Now, who will be my first volunteer? How about our new student, Miss Granger?" Lexi's eyes shot up to the old woman draped in colorful cloth.
"Well, I don't know…" Trelawney ignored her reactions and grabbed her palm. She put Lexi's hand very close to her face and began whispering to herself before telling everyone what she saw.
"You have a great secret to hide! A family secret." Lexi's eyes widened. 'She must be talking about Harry!'
"What do you think, Miss Potter? Oh, dear me, I believe I've revealed you secret!" The whole class gasped. It was no secret who the name 'Potter' belonged to.
"I-I don't know what your talking about." Lexi stuttered. Trelawney glared.
"Oh, I think you do. What did the Sorting Hat call you? A Potter product?" Lexi looked around in fear. Nearly all the girls were wide eyed with their hands over their mouths while the boys smirked at their embarrassment.
Lexi took a deep breath and glared back in fury.
"That is my business and not yours, Professor. I would kindly ask that you keep your pointed nose out of my family." Lexi replied with a snarl.
Without even seeing her Professor's reaction, she stood up and walked straight out of the classroom in a huff.
* * *
Lexi was still a bit far from Gryffindor tower when she heard giggling from inside a broom closet. She was on her way back to the common room after she left in the middle of Divination.
Slowing her pace, she came upon two people stumbling out of the closet door. Lexi's eyes widened.
There was Jamie Soltis and Carla Stiles, the girl from Potions class standing straight in front of her with smirks on their faces.
"Must you stand and stare, Granger?" Lexi glared.
"I don't know why you have a grudge against him anyway" Carla said with a snigger.
"Because he lied to me about what school he went to! And I don't even know how…he was at school with me the whole time."
Jamie laughed. "I have my ways, Granger. Now do us a favor, and bugger off" He replied evilly.
Lexi squeezed shut in emotional pain.
"Gladly." And she ran down the corridor, not caring what they said about her at the moment.
Tears steamed down her face, causing her not to be able to see where she was going. Before she knew it, she slammed into a body and fell onto the cold floor.
"Are you alright?" A concerned male voice asked. Lexi looked up through her hot tears to see a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. He had a muscular build and a wonderful smile. Lexi guessed he was a 5th year.
She forced a smile.
"Yes, I'm alright." He held out his hand to help her up and she carefully took it. He pulled her up, but he pulled so hard that she tumbled into him a bit.
"I'm Joel. You can't be a Ravenclaw, I would have seen you around the common room." He asked as they stood in the middle of the corridor.
"No, I'm a Gryffindor, and my name is Lexi." Suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Are you the new 3rd year?" Lexi nodded and wiped her eyes. She realized her hair must be a mess and combed it with her fingers.
"Well, I was just on my way to the Quidditch field to fly around a bit since I don't have another class till after lunch. Do you want to come?" He asked her. She then realized he had his broom with him.
"Sure, but I must warn you, I'm not a great flyer." He smiled warmly.
"It's alright, I can give you a few pointers."
She grinned. "I'd love that."
* * *
Sadie gasped and nudged a snoozing Skyler. He looked up and she pointed out the window. Directly out of the window was the Quidditch pitch and there was Lexi and Joel playing a form of tag on brooms. It turns out, Lexi wasn't as bad as she thought she was on a broom.
"Look, there's Lexi with that 5th year, Joel Cooney!" Skyler laughed but there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
* * *
