A/N: Hey everyone! This chapter is again dedicated to saz-646, who was me 100th reviewer! THANK YOU SO MUCH! You're the best!

And here is the much anticipated (yeah…ok) 17th chapter. Woo hoo!

Oh yeah, you might be in for a little shocker in this chapter!

Ps- sorry for the wait, but I was staying w/ my dad for a few days, we were getting our yard landscaped, and other time consuming things had to come around.

Pps- get ready for some unauthorized fluff!

Ugh, finally. Chapter 17!

"Well, well, well. Strange place to be meeting up again, don't you think?" Someone drawled behind them. Lexi winced. She knew exactly who it was. There was no need to turn around.

Never in her life did she want to see this boy again. He had lied to her, let his family almost kill her family, and treat her like she was trash. She didn't need this kind of torment at this age. Heck, she didn't need this kind of torment ever.

Lexi rolled her eyes and turned to see the ever familiar Jamie Soltis standing there with a sneer. His blonde hair was slicked back and his blue eyes had a malicious glint to them. Every time you saw him it seemed like you want to stick a sharp ice pick and stick it straight though you're head…or maybe his head. The second usually seemed like the better option.

"Jamie, don't you ever give up?" Lexi crossed her arms and quietly tapped her foot on the ground in annoyance.

"Now, why would I do that?" Jamie walked forward and circled Lexi, looking her up and down. Lexi's eyes flared with anger. How dare he look at her like that? She had let him into her home, into her life, and he had betrayed her. He knew that his uncle was on the dark side and was trying to kill her father, and he had chosen not to tell her.

Skyler took in a deep breath. He would never let this scum of the earth look at Lexi like that.

"Why do you hate her so much? It's not like she did anything to you." Skyler intervened. He took a step in front of Lexi to guard her from Jamie.

Lexi and Sadie gave each other a look and turned back to the scene before them.

"Is that so?" Jamie looked at Lexi.

"What is this? Do you and you're precious boyfriend always keep thing from each other?" Jamie seemed to be enjoying this torment, and was coaxing the flames.

"He is not my boyfriend." Lexi mumbled. Jamie put a hand behind his pale ear seemingly trying to hear his ex.

"He isn't? Why not? You seem to like him a lot. Or maybe its because you're not over me yet." He laughed.

Skyler whipped around to look at Lexi, who had her eyes on Jamie.

"I was over you the moment I left you." Lexi whispered in malice. The sad thing was, was that it did take her a while to get over Jamie. Once and a while she would remember when she was with him, and how happy she felt.

Lexi suddenly remembered the morning that Jamie had met Harry. She had rushed down into the kitchen and jumped into his arms. Caprice was there that morning also, whom she hadn't talked to in a while. Jamie was so full of love and life. He didn't seem to have a hint of anger or malice in him. Boy was she wrong.

Jamie put his hand to his chest in fake surprise.

"Is that so? That's too bad, because I'm not over you yet." Jamie stepped forward and pulled Lexi into his arms with force. Skyler went to lunge at him, but Sadie stopped him. She was not going to witness a fight in a hospital.

"Get you're hands off of me." Lexi murmured, she went to push Jamie away, but she couldn't. She didn't have the heart to push herself out of the arms that had held her not very long ago.

"I know that you miss me. I can sense it." Jamie smiled at her. He was now only a few inches from her face, and Lexi could smell his minty breath.

"Then you're senses must be off, because I don't miss you. I haven't even thought about you." Lexi was still being held in Jamie's arms, and she wasn't making any effort to push away.

This whole sight was being seen by Sadie and Skyler, who were observing in wonder and amazement. Their enemy of 3 years was holding their best friend in him arms, and she wasn't pushing away.

"That's a bloody lie." Jamie growled at her. Lexi's eyes widened.

"Are you calling me a-"-but she was cut off. Jamie had brutally shoved his lips against hers in the middle of St. Mungo's corridor.

After a moment of shock, Lexi tore herself away from him and shoved him.

"How dare you?" She gasped. Jamie let out a hearty laugh.

"I don't like you anymore. And if you can't handle that-"Lexi stopped, unable to go on.

"Sorry to interrupt, but you dated this scum? And you let him do this to you?" Skyler cried, stepping up to Jamie and Lexi in rage. Lexi turned to him, her eyes frantic. Her brain was searching vigorously for an answer. She could have sworn Skyler knew about her and Jamie's former realationship.

"Don't get mad! I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I didn't think it was something you wanted to know." Lexi stepped towards him, but Skyler stepped back.

"Don't talk to me right now. Come on Sadie." Skyler turned and stalked away, with Sadie behind him. Sadie turned and gave Lexi an apologetic look. She shifted her eyed to Jamie and back to Lexi. The black haired girl nodded, understanding that Sadie was leaving so she could get away from Jamie.

When her friends were out of sight, she turned and walked the opposite direction. Her arm was caught though, and she whipped around to see Jamie staring at her.

"Don't-" but once again, she was cut off.

"Lexi, dear, were leaving now!" Lexi looked to see her mom coming down the corridor.

"Harry is going to go find-oh…Jamie. Nice to see you again." Hermione looked hesitantly at her daughter's ex-boyfriend.

"Hello Miss Granger. Congratulations on you're engagement." He smiled. Hermione forced a smile and thanked him. She turned to leave, signaling Lexi to follow her.

"You sad ass liar." Lexi whispered before she chased after her mother.

Lexi sat curled up on the couch with a hot mug of green tea, staring into the crackling fire. The shadows danced on her face, just as her mind was dancing with ideas about how to get Skyler to speak to her again.

She never meant to keep it from him, but it never seemed fitting to bring it up. She feared that he would think less of her for dating his enemy. If he thought less of her, it would probably only make her feelings for him stronger. Her feelings for Skyler were very unexplainable. Every time he walked into a room, her stomach would fly up into her throat. Every time he looked at her, she would feel dizzy.

"This sucks." She whispered to herself in misery.

"What sucks?" Lexi flew quite a few inches off the couch. She never even heard anyone coming down the stairs.

She looked behind her to see a disheveled boy her age standing at the foot of the steps.

"I figured you would be asleep by now. It's three in the morning." Skyler walked to the sofa and sat down on the arm opposite Lexi.

"Well I figured you would never talk to me again, but I guess we aren't correct on many things these days, now are we." Lexi turned her head towards her friend and took a large gulp from her mug, slightly burning the tip of her tongue.

They both sat in silence for a moment or two, waiting to see what the other would say.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Skyler asked her, breaking the silence. Lexi finished off her tea and set the mug down onto the carpet.

She motioned for Skyler to sit down on the comfortable part instead of the arm. He did so, and looked at her expectantly.

"I don't know. I never felt there was a reason to tell you." She pulled her blanket up off the couch and offered the other side to Skyler.

"I just don't understand how Sadie knew and I didn't." Lexi rolled her eyes subtly. He could be such a doofus sometimes.

"Think about it, Sky. Sadie's a girl, you're not. I didn't think you were into girl talk. And how uncomfortable would that conversation be? 'Oh, Skyler, forget to mention, I was in a relationship with Jamie Soltis before I came to Hogwarts. Thought you might want to know!'"

"That's dumb." Skyler crossed his arms over his chest.

"Yes, it is! You would be mad at me even if I had told you before you had to find out the hard way." Lexi inadvertently mimicked him by crossing her arms also.

"That's true…" Skyler nodded. They both fell into a pit of silence again.

"Can I ask you a question?" Skyler bit his lip.

"What is it?" Lexi inquired.

"How-how long were you together with Jamie?" Lexi threw her hands up even through they were under the blanket.

"What?" Skyler cried.

"That's not fair!"

"Just answer the question, Lex."

"Fine, fine. I guess a month or two…" She mumbled. Skyler looked at her in shock.

"You stayed with that son of a bitch for over a month?" Skyler cried. Lexi jumped at his volume.

"Shush! My mom is sleeping!" Lexi reprimanded him, putting her finger to her lips. Skyler rolled his eyes in response.

"I just don't get it." Skyler mumbled, his mind searching for a method to her madness. Suddenly Lexi became angry. Skyler was acting like she had bad judgment and needed to be scolded

"Have you ever though about the fact that maybe he didn't act like this to me before? Did you think about the fact that maybe he was extremely sweet and caring to me?" Lexi inquired, laying on a little guilt.

By now, the fire was starting to die down. The clock had turned to 3:30, and the tension was high.

"No…I guess I didn't." Skyler slouched back into the couch.

"Why are you being so passive? It seems weird." Lexi asked.

"I don't know. I guess because I can't stand being mad at you. It's driving me crazy." Lexi smiled at him.

"You know what else drives me crazy?" Lexi shook her head, waiting for his answer.

"No I don't. What drives you crazy?" Lexi laughed quietly.

"You." Skyler turned towards her with a small smile. Lexi laughed louder his time.

"You're so corny!" She reached forward and gave him a hug. Skyler pulled back and looked her in the eye.

"No, I'm serious." Lexi went quite limp as she looked into his deep eyes.

"I know-" Skyler went to explain himself, but was stopped by Lexi pressing her lips to his with vigor. Now usually Skyler was the one who did the cutting off, but apparently this was a nice change.

"Can I ask you another question?" Lexi touched her lips with her fingers and nodded.

"Would you…would you be my girlfriend?" Skyler was stiff with anticipation. If she said no, he would be screwed.

Lexi's eyes lit up, and her smile brightened.

"Of course!" Lexi cried, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Merry Christmas, Lexi."

A/n: omg, that was so fluffy I could die…

Well, that wasn't much, but it was 7 pages so it will do. Next up is Christmas day, and Lexi and Sadie babysit.
