When Alexis enterd her new rooms she was actualy astounded what Snape had done! She would have thought he would have given her a single mattres on the floor may be a few draws for clothing and some skimpy bed clothes all in a tiny box room but no. When she walk through the portrait hole she was met with a large circular room. A Large queen sized four poster bed drapped in white and cream silk rested in the middle of the room. The floor was a lovely cherrywood , the walls were a lovely rich dark green with a large semi circular fireplace on the futhest wall from the door make of aged but very beautieful blocks of limestone.
Around the outside of the room were a closet, a vanity unit, drawers a elagant desk facing an enchanted window (A/N: yes enchanted cause I mean really they're in the dungeons, you really think your going to get a real window in the dungeons?) showing a gorgeous stary night along with a handsome quater moon.
As the potrait closed behind her she ran at her bed and jumped onto it. It was amazingly comfy, you would have thought someone had charmed it. She couldnt be botherd getting up to investigate the room any more."Ive got to remember to thank Snape tomorrow... god hes outdone himself with all this" she muttered to herself as she snuggled deeper into the covers not caring about the fact she still had all her clothes on and fell asleep.
The next morning Alexis woke up as the light for the enchanted window hit her face with a yawn. She climed out of her bed and was greeted with the a deep purring "G'morning Glaze" she said through another stifled yawn. Glaze was lying on her belongings at the bottom of her bed. He looked like a rather small snow tiger. he had short white fur speckled with black patches here and there and his tail was drooping over the side of her trunks. His sleepy green eyes staired up at her as she got out of bed and padded over to her vanity. "wheres the bathroom?" at the word bathroom a concealed door swung open from between her vanity and closet."Oh right... k." and she padded over to the door. She was equaly surprised as she had been the other night. The bathroom was extremly large especialy for one person. The tiles on the floor were a dark marble grey. the walls were the same stone as the rest of the castle though these looked thuraly cleaned. in the centre was a bath shaped as a coiled snake, resting into the ground. To her left was a cream porcliane sink and toilet to her right and at the top corner was a large shower area but what struck her as odd was the large flap in the wall on the left top corner of the room. She figured she'd ask Snape about it later, right now she wanted a quick shower. She deffiantly wasnt a morning person.
After Alexis got out her shower she re-enterd her bedroom to get changed. She looked in her closet and found 5 sets of robes and school uniforms along with two Slytherin ties, 3 new dress robes and 2 new black cloaks. One thing she liked about being in Slytherin and probably the only thing was that the Slytherin colour was green. She loved green, more specificly dark green. She pulled out her clothes of the day and pulled them on. They all fitted nicely, though she wasnt one for not accessorising or blending in. Picking up her white cotten bathrob she transformed it into a thin silk robe, extra long. Taking her regular dressrobe for that day she held it out with one hand and and pointed her wand 1/4 up from the bottem, "Diffindo" and that specific 1/4s was severed leaving the other 3/4 with a clean cut. After putting on herdarkgreen silk robe she pulled the shortened regular black robe on. "Now all i needs a full length mirror." A low creek came from behind her and she spun round noticing the doors to her closet had opened again. Walking over to inspect a full length mirror that hadnt been there before was on on of the doors of the closet.
"You know"turning to Glaze" I really could get use to this room" she sad smugly.
She studied her refelction in the mirror. She had long dark brown hair, straight from the roots but as soon as her hair got past her shoulders silky curls were formed. Bangs that fell just past her eyebrows. Two tendrals of hair one on either side of her head were twirled round and held in place at the back with a black ribbon. She was quiet tall reaching about 5,7 , 5,8 with a slim and slender figure. (A/N you know about her figure from what Snape thought at the start if not let me enlighten you. shes got good curves. meaning shes filed out in all the right places) She looked like a normal Hogwarts student... well may be apart form her altire. She did ajust it a bit. The dark green robe showing a good amount flowing out behind her. She lengthend the length of the black robes sleeves so they went past her hands. Instead of normaly plain knee high black socks or black or tan tights she had on black knee thigh high socks that were held inplace around her thigh by a long silk dark green ribbon (A/N: the ribbon is attached to the material, Q: has any one ever seen thoughs types of socks or am I the only one who knows what im talking about?) And a pair of lovely lookin dolly shoes (A/N:I did some research and I think some people call them Mary Janes?)
Out of everything else on Alexis her eyes were the most strange. Depending on her mood they would change. But right now they were a deep Green/Grey "Perfect" she thought happily.
With a wave of her wand she packed her bag with all her school things, she placed a feather light charm on the bag grabbed it and headed out the portrait door.
The commen room was full of students moving to and frow getting ready for their new school day and breakfast in the great hall. As Alexis stepped out the portrait a group of Slytherins that were hanging just to the corner of the door looked over at the new commer. A blond boy made his way to the front of the group and eyed Alexis suspiciously. He had a pointed chin and cold grey eyes "Malfroys son" she thought grimmly."Peachy just what I need first thing in the morning... God I need caffine"
"Your new arnt you? Whats your name?" he said cooly.
"Ah Draco Malfroy is it? Alexis Crawford"
"Crawford? Never heard of your family, not surprised you know mine though."He said smuggly. a grin plastered on his face.
"Dont let it get to you. Your features and attitude gave you away, i've met your father" she scoffed.
"You've met my father?"
"Once or twice" she added cooly
"Really... Ive never heard about you. Are you a pureblood?"
"Really" She said Irritably "Its not really your concern but yes."
He seemed to ponder for a minute , "Your a Pureblood yet i've never heard of you, how so?"he said raising his eyebrow.
"My family likes to keep low key."
"Where did you go before here?"
"I didnt. I was homeschooled"
"Could you not affored it? What do your parents do?"
"Nosy arnt you. Actually I have more money than I need and for your informantion my parents are dead" she added bitterly.
"How"
"The Ministry killed them." It wasnt a lie but it wasnt the total truth.
"The Ministry? Does that mean they were Dea-"
"Miss Crawford, Follow me."
Every head in the room turned round to see their Head of house Standing at the Entrance to the commen room.
Alexis could have killed Snape. She knew Draco was about to reveal something even if it wasnt on purpose. He was asking questions so quickly and she was answering them just as fast that he nearly slipped up. Damnit Snape!
Alexis hitched up her bag on her shoulder and walked causualy over to Snape and out the door.
As soon as the door was shut again she whipped round to face Snape. "You know your timeings terrible dont you?"
"How so?"
" I was talking to Malfroy! I swear he was about to spill something to me but then you , oh mr great timing, just had to call on me!" she said exasperated.
"Oh" he said simply
She only growled at him for the rest of the way. She was to preoccupide now. She had to remember the way back and too the Great hall from the commen room as they walked. Surprisingly she could keep up with Snapes long strides.
When they reached the Great Hall Alexis was awe struck by the ceiling. It was showing a day like her window has shown, a lovely clear sky, a few clouds but the sun was shining brightly.
"Heres your time table" Snape said handing Alexis a piece of parchment " The seventh years have double Defence Against the Dark Arts first with the Griffindors" 'Griffindors' came out more like a hiss.
"Thank you" She said as she took it and looked around the tables" So where do I sit?"
"Over in that table" Snape nodded at the table on his left "With the rest of the Slythern students" and walked off smirking to the staff table.
"Oh crap" She looked over at the students that had already made it to the hall. Only a few seeing how early it was in the morning, all lookin dodgy and on edge. Sighing she made her way down the center of the hall between the Griffindor and Slytherin tables earning looks from all tables as she walked muttering "crap crap crap" under her breath until she took a seat at the end nearest the staff table.
Breakfast looked good though coffee seemed to be the only thing that she wanted right now.
"Goodmorning" familiar voice greeted behind her
As she turned round to look she was greeted by the caring but tired face of Remus Lupin. "Morning Lupin, How are you?" said asked inbetween nursing her third cup of coffee.
"Cant complain. So how did your first night at Hogwarts go?" He asked taking a seat beside Alexis and also earning a few growls for the few Slytherings and stares from Griffindors.
"It was actaully great! seriously I thought Snape would have given me this tiny itty bitty box room and a matress and ... ah you have to come see it " she said Beaming.
He gave a heartly chuckle at her behaviour. "Its alright i'll take your word for it."
"Ok" she said pouting slightly. She drained off the last of her coffee and set the cup down.
Lupin stood up and held an arm out for Alexis to take. "So Miss Crawford , up for your first day of leasons?"
"Indeed I am Mr Lupin" she joked taking is arm and hauling her bag onto her shoulder ".. wait... damnit sorry im forgetting to call you Professor"
He laughed slightly and have a true smile to her and leaned in to her ear, " With you and the exception of a few others i'll let you away with it." he purred and looked up at her again. Her eyes were a brilliant green and practically glowing. "Alexis... your eyes do they change colour?"
"Shit shit shit" She closed her eyes tightly hoping despritly he didnt see the colour clearly. When she opened them again she was looking down at the floor. "Em... what do you mean?"
Lupins felt her tense and watched her look away. She oviously didnt want him looking at herf eyes. "Nothing, its probably just me still half asleep" He was lying he knew her eyes had changed.
"Oh did you not have any coffee or breakfast?" She asked, slightly seeming to happy but not because she thought he didnt have any breakfast, no only relieved he let her eye colour drop off subject and she let her eyes move off the interesting spot of the floor her eyes seemed to have found to his face.
He found her change in attitude amusing but kept it to himself "On no Ive been up for hours and had my fare share of coffee."
"Ah, ok. So Shall we go?"
"Indeed we shall. What Subject do you have first?"
"Em lets see." She started to pull out her time table from her robe pocket " I have... Defence Against the Dark Arts. God I hope the teachers good, Ive met some pretty crappy teachers when working with the Ministry and well you may think im egolistical but I think my knowledge of Defence is pretty advanced" She sais with a satisfied smirk "I might be able to give a few Professors a run for their money"
"Defence... hmm really? Well I'll just have to see for myself though I you can give Miss Granger a run for her money i will be surprised"
"Wh - What? Ar- Are you the Defence Professor?" She felt faint when he gave her a nod and chuckled as she paled. "Damnit Crawford, learn to get all the facts before you open your big trap!"
He looked at her eyes.. They had gone a deep shade of grey "I knew it" he thought proudly "I wonder what other colours they go"
"Dont worry about it Alexis im possitive I wont bore you in class and may be you can even help me out on a few things" as he talked they had reached the DADA class room. Naturally they were the first there. "Could you give me a hand preparing the leason?"
"Sure"
