OK so it's a little shorter then I wanted but I'll make it up with the next one. But I am updating which is a good sign!!! ;) Thanks for all the great reviews. It makes me happy to see that people are still reading my story!!! Please let me know what you think of this chapter.
Chapter Eight
It was still early in the afternoon and Alex was sitting comfortably on the floor in front of the fire. She had different books, maps, and other parchments set out in from of her. To say the least, Alex was in a bad mood. She had gotten hardly any sleep after Snape had left the night before. What he had said hurt her more then he probably realized. The truth was that she had never had to stoop so low as to sleep with someone to get information. Alex had always found ways around it, usually with slipping something in their drink to knock them unconscious.
She was trying not to think of him and instead was determined to put all her focus and energy into getting rid of Scott. It was too dangerous having him around. Who knows what information he had already supplied Voldemort with? It was sheer luck that it was Alex who was privy to the most top secret information. She hadn't trusted Scott with some of the things she was told by Dumbledore and other members of the Order. In fact, Scott didn't even know about her undercover job at the club in Knockturn Alley. If he had, she would be in immense danger.
Alex scanned through the information in front of her. What she was planning on doing was staging an Order meeting in Hogsmeade. She was hoping that with that information, Scott would relay it to Voldemort and they would attack the Order, thinking they were catching them off guard. Of course it would actually be a trap for them. Alex just hoped that it would work out according to plan.
"Alexandra, I have the reports from Nate, Kimi, and Lia. I also have some information from Paige and Carlos." Scott said coming in through the door. Nate, Kimi, and Lia were working on hacking through computer databases, trying to decode information that may be pertaining to Death Eaters and Voldemort. Paige and Carlos were both stationed in Diagon and Knockturn Alley in efforts to keep an eye on things there. Scott and Anitrey pretty much went back and forth, passing along information and making themselves useful wherever they were needed.
Alex sighed and looked up from the parchment she had been writing on. She had thought she made it clear that she didn't want to be bothered today. She hadn't left the room since she came home, even taking her breakfast in her bedroom. Alex really needed to change her password.
"Thanks." She said, taking the papers from Scott and casting them aside, not wanting to look at them yet.
"Are you alright? You seem upset." He asked, crouching down next to her. Upset was an underestimate of how she was feeling.
"I'm fine." Alex answered shortly, hoping he would get the hint and leave. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"What are you working on?" He asked, ignoring her attempts to get him to leave. Scott was looking at the papers spread out in front of Alex.
"I am working on securing an area for the next Order meeting." Alex lied. No time like the present to set a trap, right?
"Why aren't we having it here at the school like usual?" he asked, curiously. Of course he was filing away the information to report back to Voldemort.
"Albus is expecting everyone involved in the Order to come to the next meeting. We all won't fit in his office so we're renting a room at The Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade. I am in charge of the security procedures." She explained rather convincingly.
"They put you in charge?" Scott mocked.
"And what's that suppose to mean?" Alex demanded, slightly off put by his sudden mood swing. Although it shouldn't have surprised her. He is a death eater.
"All you missions are failures. Dumbledore must be insane to put you in charge." He spat out cruelly, straightening up and Alex stood from her seat on the ground.
"Are you a moron? All of my missions have been successful. That's why we're considered the best." Alex argued, even though his words did hit her. Was she not as good at her job as she thought?
"If it hadn't been for me, you would have failed each and every one of them. You would be nothing without me, Alexandra!" Alex clenched her hands into fists, willing herself to not punch him straight in the face like she wanted to do. "You are nothing!"
Alex couldn't hold back anymore.
"That's it you're done! You're going back to the States!" she declared, anger flashing in her eyes. "If I have anything to do with it, you'll never work in the ministry again!" She drew her wand but Scott was ready for her.
"Expelliarmus!" he yelled and her wand flew out of her hand before she even had pulled it all the way out of her sleeve. The spell sent her flying back into the wall, knocking her unconscious. Scott stood over her and cast a strong binding charm for when she woke up. It was just too easy! He pulled a small pocket watch from his pocket and grabbed Alex. Soon they both disappeared just before Snape came running into the room.
Snape had been grading papers in his office when he was alerted that Alex was in danger. The necklace he had given her for Christmas the year before had a strong protection spell on it. It alerted him to when she was in trouble, as long as he was in close enough vicinity. Unfortunately, he was too late.
Note: I do not know if you can use a port key in Hogwarts but in my story you can. So no flames about that!!! ;)
