I am surprising myself with how fast I update! I hope you like this one, and remember to review! I will dedicate the next chapter to whoever is my 20th reviewer! (If we get to 20 by the next time I update :D )
On with the story!
Credit to Lanna1186 and Millie 4 Harry Potter (you only gave me a name so I cannot give you full credit for the character…I'm changing the last name because the name Black will mess up my story, but I will use the first name, thanx) for Lanna and Melissa.

Lexi laughed as she saw Joel catch up to her. They were both flying top speed across the pitch. Faintly, she heard the lunch bell ring. Coming to an abrupt stop, she realized she had to meet that Alannah girl.
Joel skidded to a halt. "What's the matter?"
"Lunch. I have to meet someone. It was very nice meeting you, but I must go." Joel nodded.
"That's alight, but do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me next weekend? This weekend is just for sixth and a seventh year, but the one after is for third through fifth." Lexi's mind reeled. She had forgotten she was allowed to go into Hogsmeade.
"That would be lovely. See you at dinner!" Lexi called to Joel as she flew the distance to the main doors and dismounted.
* * *
Lexi came upon the Great Hall to see Alannah by the doors.
"Alannah!" She called. Immediately the Hufflepuff was by her side in excitement.
"Lets go and see if Skyler is in there!" Alannah suggested.
They made their way into the Great Hall and Lexi immediately spotted Skyler.
"Oh, there he is, lets go" The two girls made their was over to the Gryffindor table. Lexi stood uncomfortably behind Skyler, hoping for an instant she wouldn't have to do this.
"Hey Skyler" She said behind him. Skyler looked up in surprise to see a sickly Lexi and a smiling girl.
"Hey, Lexi. You don't look so good. Do you want to sit?" He asked, moving over.
"Not just yet. I wanted you to meet a friend of mine, Alannah Rivers. She is a Hufflepuff." Skyler's eyes moved to Alannah and lit up.
"Well, hello" He said smoothly, taking the blonde's hand and kissing it gently. Lexi snorted with amusement.
"Hello." She giggled. If that wasn't an unexpected reaction, she didn't what was.
She looked up to see everyone else's reaction, or even if they were paying attention, and that's when she realized it.
Everyone in the Great Hall was staring at her in silence and wonder. Come to think of it, she had been getting a lot of weird looks and whispers in the corridors.
Lexi looked up to the head table and saw Professor Trelawney staring her down with a malicious glint in her eyes.
That was it! Everyone knew about Harry.
Without another word, she bolted out of the Hall on the verge of tears.
* * *
Two days later, everyone was still whispering about Lexi and her family. Sadie had already known about Harry from eavesdropping on her father, so it was no shock to her, while Skyler had the overpowering urge to ask Lexi for Harry's autograph.
Jamie had been spreading malevolent rumors, like "Harry Potter really isn't her father, he's just sticking around because Lexi's mom doesn't really know who the father is." And things like that.
Honestly, Lexi had cried herself to sleep the past two days. She didn't particularly care whether everyone knew, it was the fact that they were making rumors and saying things about her mom. It had even come to people coming up to her and calling her mom a whore right in front of her.
A few of Lexi's room mates stood by the door, looking at the pitiful girl. Lexi was curled up in the fetal position, under the covers, her body racking with hard sobs.
At the door was Linwe, Melissa, Julie, and Lanna, her roommates. They all were discussing what to do about Lexi.
"We could call in Ari to talk to her." Lanna suggested. The other three nodded and Lanna went to get Aribeth.
Aribeth Anselle Tonks was the person you talked to when you were upset. This girl was very unusual. She was a metamorphmagus like her mother. Aribeth was born an albino but uses her "powers" to hide it from everyone. Any, back on topic, whenever you were upset, and Aribeth's bubbly nature cheered you right up, and she was famous for her pep talks.
About two minutes later Ari showed up at the door. She naturally had white hair, due to the fact she was an albino, but today she changed it to dark brown.
"Lexi?" Ari said quietly, sitting on the side of the bed. After a few minutes, Lexi stifled her tears long enough to respond.
"Hello Ari. You must think…Its just…" Lexi burst into sobs again. Ari picked up her hand and held it in hers.
"Everyone has to cry at some point. There's nothing wrong with it." Lexi sniffed and quieted her cries to a dull roar (a/n: haha I luv that).
"In fact, I've had so many rumors spread about me I'm almost immune to them." Lexi turned over to face her housemate.
"Why does everyone have to be so cruel? It's only my father! What's so wrong about having a famous father?" Lexi asked angrily.
"I don't know, it's just how the world works. And there is absolutely nothing wrong about whom your father is." Ari comforted.
"Jamie is being so awful to me! When we dated, he was so wonderful and romantic, and now he's as bad as his uncle was to my parents!" Ari hid her shock. They had dated?
"People change. I have an idea. Prove Jamie wrong, and show him you can be strong and won't let his actions affect you." Ari said to Lexi. She looked up.
"Should I really do that?" Ari nodded.
"Absolutely"
* * *
Lexi came down to dinner that day with a huge grin on her face. She owed Ari one.
As she came into the Great Hall, no one seemed to notice she was present. This made her even happier. It always blows over.
When she was about to sit down, she was stopped. She glanced up and saw Joel standing there with a compassionate look in his eyes.
"Have you been alright? I haven't seen you at meals in a few days." Lexi smiled ear to ear.
"Yes Joel, ive just been in seclusion from all the rumors." She covered.
"Well that's good. A lot of them were so unbelievable. Are we still on for Hogsmeade next weekend?" He asked.
"Of course we are. I'll see you later" She said as she sat down next to Skyler and across from Sadie.
"Skyler?" Sadie input. He didn't even respond. The two girls followed his gaze to a certain Alannah Rivers across the Hall. Sadie rolled her eyes and turned her attention to Lexi.
"He's been like that since you introduced him to that Alannah girl."

Hermione sat alone in her kitchen. Turns out, Harry realized he had been practically living at Hermione's house so he had to go home for a bit to clean the dust off things.
As she dozed off at the table, she heard a tap on the window and jerked awake. She saw a brown owl outside of her backdoor and rushed over to let it in. It flew in past her head and landed on the kitchen table.
Hermione sighed and got out a carrot and a bowl of water and set it in front of the owl while she untied the letter attached to its foot. It had the Puddlemere United emblem on it so she figured it was Harry's, but it wouldn't hurt to take a peek.
"Dear Mr. Potter,
We cordially invite you and the partner of your choice to our annual Puddlemere banquet. This will be a formal evening. We ask that you would give a speech if possible. The date of this evening is October 1st as of now. We hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
PU President,
John Cartney"
Hermione became excited instantly. She put the letter in her pocket and apparated into the alley next to Harry's house and ran inside the house.
"Harry!" She called, immediately regretting it.
"Stains of dishonor, filthy half breeds, blood traitors, children of filth!" Mrs. Black screamed, the veil flying to the side revealing her picture.
"No!" Harry called from the kitchen, running into the hallway. He immediately gripped the curtain and pulled it with all his strength to cover the painting. Instantly, the screaming stopped.
"I am SO sorry Harry!" Hermione whispered. He smiled and kissed her on the cheek.
"It's fine. I was just making dinner, want some?" He asked. She shrugged and followed him into the kitchen. When she walked in she was engulfed in the smell of pasta sauce.
"Mmm, smells good. You know, you got a letter at my house. It's an invitation to the annual Puddlemere banquet." Hermione informed her boyfriend as she sat down at the kitchen table.
"That's cool. Does it say that I can bring someone? Last year I wasn't allowed." Harry asked, still preoccupied with making dinner.
"Yes, it does." Hermione told him. Harry stopped and turned around with two bowls in his hands.
"Will you go with me? You don't have to if you don't want to." He said, standing in the middle of the kitchen. Hermione pretended to be in thought and walked up to him, stroking her chin.
"Well, I guess I will." She smiled and took the bowls from him. Placing them on the table, she felt his arms wrap around her waist.
"Good, because you would be punished if you said no." He smirked. She giggled and he kissed her ear.
"Then maybe I should say no" she smirked, turning around in his arms and wrapping her arm around him.
He leaned in to kiss her but was interrupted with a knock on the door. Harry let go of her and made a growling noise in the back of his throat.
Hermione laughed as he trudged down the hall and found Ron at the door. He flung open the door to see Ron standing there with wide eyes.
"Did I interrupt anything, mate?" He asked. Hermione came up behind him with a blank look on her face.
"Oh…I guess I did…well, ill come back in a bit…" Ron said, turning to go.
"Get in here!" Harry rolled his eyes and pulled his best friend by the shirt into the doorway.
Before Harry could even invite Ron to dinner, Ron invited himself.
"Do I smell pasta? I'm starving!" Ron said, rushing into the kitchen.
Harry and Hermione both rolled their eyes at the same time and shuffled into the kitchen after Ron.
