Chapter 4
Settled Yet?
"Prefects, please lead the students to the dormitories," Dumbledore told them. The students filed out the great hall and the giant room became very silent. Some of the teachers also left.
A soon as most of the teachers were gone Alexandria and Linzel burst out laughing. Sarah stood at the exit of the hall just watching them in amusement. Jareth scowled.
"What's so damn funny?" he asked sharply. Alexandria wiped the tears from her eyes. She then tried to catch her breath. The two people, beside the four main characters, left in the room (Snape and Dumbledore) just watched with curious faces.
"Sorry, father, but it is kinda funny and coincidental that mom's best friend and the girl that beat your Labyrinth is the new nurse at Hogwarts," Alexandria then burst into another fit of laughter. Sarah walked up to them with a smiled on.
"At least Ginny treats her husband better than the daughter," Sarah said to the younger girl. Alexandria composed herself and looked to Sarah. Jareth raised and eyebrow.
"She misses you," the teen said with a sad smile.
"I bet as much as I miss her, how is she? I see she's raised a beautiful daughter," Sarah said. Alexandria blushed at the comment. "But the king must have a son and the older daughter must have an annoying younger brother," she said slyly. Jareth smiled.
"Yes, I have a son, but he has been quite a hassle for Ginny lately. That's why I stole Alexandria and took her with me," Jareth explained. "His name is Damien and this is my daughter-,"
"Alexandria Jewel," Sarah finished for him. "Come, come Jareth, Ginny still writes as much as she can," she answered his surprised face. "And you must be Professor Linzel, how did Jareth talk you into teaching hear?"
"Blackmail," Linzel answered and all three girls laughed. Somebody cleared their throat and they turned to Dumbledore and Snape.
"I believe we should get you two professors rooms," Dumbledore said. Linzel and Jareth nodded. "As for Alexandria, you have a choice: you can stay in a room close to your father's or you can sleep in the Slytherin dormitory," he gave her, her to choices. She thought for a moment.
"I'll stay in the dormitory, I'll meet more people that way," she answered.
"Professor Snape will escort you to your dormitory," Dumbledore said. Snape motioned to leave and Alexandria followed.
'Behave,' both Jareth and Linzel said to her.
'Like always,' Alexandria shot back before leaving the great hall.
"Well, it looks like Miss Williams and you know each other, your highness," Dumbledore said with a mischievous glint in his eyes. At this Linzel started laughing again.
"Will you cut that out, or I'll ask Tulcan to come and visit," Jareth threatened. Linzel then grew very serious.
"YOU WOULDN'T!" she practically yelled.
"He would," both Sarah and Dumbledore said at the same time.
"Why you little-," Linzel began.
"I think it's about time we turn in, isn't it?" Sarah interrupted.
"That's a good idea," Dumbledore urged.
"Fine, but not before," Linzel started and materialized a crystal, much like Jareth, only it was sea blue. She threw it at Jareth before he could react. He disappeared with no glitter or lights. "Payback you arrogant king," with that she left the great hall. Jareth reappeared. He robes were soaked and is hair was completely flat.
"That little witch of sprite," he growled.
"You mean she's not a witch?" Sarah asked curiously, "And why are you all wet?"
"She threw me into the lake, and no," he magically dried himself off, "She is of Fae and of Sprite kind," he explained. "She rules of the waters of the Underground. Good thing that does not include the Bog," Jareth said and left the hall too, to get some well deserved rest.
"It's going to be a long year," Dumbledore sighed.
"That's only the half of it, headmaster. I'll keep the infirmary open just in case those two decide to kill each other," with that, the new nurse for the year walked off to her room.
"This may turn out to be another exciting year at Hogwarts," Dumbledore said to no one. He smiled mysteriously and went to his room.

"WAIT UP!" a voice called to the three students walking to their DADA class. They turned around to see Alexandria running after them. She wore plain black robes (ironically nowhere on the robe were the symbols of Slytherin).
"Hey Alexandria, you do know you don't have to attend classes right?" Hermione asked. Alexandria nodded with a smile.
"I wouldn't miss my fathers first lesson," she said and continued walking with the three. Soon a boy with brown hair and green eyes ran up to the group.
"Harry, did you remember the password?" the boy asked.
"Sure Neville, it's 'toadstools'," he answered. Harry noticed Neville was looking at the new girl. "Oh, Neville this is Alexandria. Alexandria this is Neville Longbottom," Harry introduced the two. Alexandria smiled to him and held out her hand. He shook it and blushed slightly.
"It's nice to meet you Neville," she said. She could tell the boy had not had good luck in the past. When she shook his hand, she put a little charm on him for good luck. The five teenagers then entered the classroom. Alexandria stood in the back. Linzel snuck in before the class started.
I have to explain a little about the class. Dumbledore explained some to Linzel this morning. The class was to take place on Saturdays, which was slightly unusual. It was a optional class for higher credits at the end of the year. It also gets you better job openings to be diverse in the magic world.
Anyway, Alexandria and Linzel stood in the back watching as Jareth walked out in front of class. 'Better than goblins, huh Jareth?' Linzel asked him.
'While in the middle of teaching I would like you two to keep you thoughts to yourself,' he shot at the two telepaths in the back. They tried to stop from giggling. This was going to be a long year.
