Disclaimer: yep u already know that I don't own Harry Potter

Hey thanks for the great reviews again…heres chapter 10…

Alex woke the nest morning to find an owl tapping at the window closest to her bed.

She wass surprised to find that the owl was holding a letter which appeared to be from her best friends, she was surprised considering that Georgie had never bothered to reply after the first letter Alex had sent her asking for her help.

Not that I need it know I've screwed everything up. She thought as she untied the letter and watched as the brown owl flew off.

She decide to get ready for her first class and read the letter during breakfast, so she showered and changed into her Hogwarts uniform and was leaving as the other girls were just waking up.

She sat alone at the Gryffindor table and began to eat her breakfast when she remembered the letter she had shoved into the robe of her pocket. She pulled it out and ripped it open.

Hey Alex, Georgie says sorry for not replying to your last letter but she said she wanted to talk to you about when you come here…don't worry she hasn't told me what's going on. Anyway don't worry about your mum, just enjoy spending time with your dad. I can't wait til you come back everyone misses you so much (ok so it's just me and Georgie that miss you ;D) but classes, especially music has been so weird without you. Anyway I got to finish this now because I have heaps of homework that old Laide gave us that I haven't started yet. Missing you heaps.

From Logan.

She read the boy's messy writing and smiled to herself. Then she noticed the p.s.

p.s when you visit you have to make sure you introduce me to your new hot English girl friends!

This time she felt the smile on her face as she folded the letter and put it back in her pocket.

"What you so happy about?" Draco Malfoy asked her as he sat across from her and picked up a piece of toast. She looked at the boy and noticed how silver his eyes were.

"Nothing Malfoy," she replied and continued to eat her breakfast.

Draco, however, didn't give up. Ha had watched her as she was reading the letter and he had guessed it was from this so-called boyfriend she had in New York.

"So Granger, tell me, what do you miss from your old school?" he asked taking another bite from his toast.

Alex looked at him, "well first of all MALFOY, its Alex not granger. And second of all why would you even care?" she asked him back.

"I don't care, I'm just interested," he paused, 'if you want me to call you Alex, you have to call me Draco, only my friends call me Malfoy."

"Friends?" Alex asked sarcastically.

"Yeah those people your Mother pays to hang around you," he said calmly, not understanding why anyone, particularly riley would like or even want to kiss this girl.

They sat there in silence.

'So are you going to answer my question?" he asked and Alex looked at him.

"Which one?"

He sighed, clearly frustrated, he knew she knew which question.

"What do you miss from your old school?" he repeated.

"Oh, that question," she said, faking surprise, "I guess I miss the location. It was right in the idle of the city, only the muggles couldn't see it and it was always busy. And the classes, I defiantly miss my old music class. Hogwarts doesn't teach music."

Then she got up and went to leave.

"What about your friends?" Draco asked urgently before she stepped away from the table.

"Draco, you asked what I missed, not who I missed," she stated, before heading to her history of magic class, as riley and Nicole entered the great hall.

Great, Alex thought, now I have to spend the morning with the guy who my mum is sleeping with.

Riley barely heard a word Professor Walker had said during his history of magic class. It wasn't that he had trouble concentrating, it was the fact that Alex was sitting directly in front of him to the left, he had the perfect view of her, but she still wasn't talking to him.

He didn't understand what he had done wrong, he never tried to kiss her again, luckily he had stopped himself before he did. But he didn't get it. No scratch that he didn't get HER.

He didn't get why show as mad at him after he hadn't done anything. Maybe that was it, he thought as he watched her twirl a curl around her finger. Maybe she wanted me to kiss her, he shook his head, she didn't, she didn't like Riley – she already had one boyfriend.

He watched as she continued to twirl the curl around her finger, she wasn't listening either, and he could tell from the slightly dreamy look she had on her face that Riley had come to known aver the last week.

Before he realised, the class was over. He continued to watch her as she stood up and packed her books away, before she hurried out of the classroom with his cousin. As he was packing his bag he noticed a small light blue notebook lying under the desk Alex had been sitting at, picking it up he shoved it in his bag hoping that when he returned it to her he could apologise and they could be friends again.

Later that night, riley was in the library. He hadn't seen Alex since their potions class, but even then he hadn't had the chance to talk to her because she was so busy talking to her father and Sam. But by now he had forgotten that he had her blue book, and as he emptied his bag on the table it fell to the floor, revealing the neat handwriting written in bright pink ink.

He knew it was her's, he had seen her writing in it when he met her in the owlry, and he knew he shouldn't of read it, but he couldn't help it.

It didn't seem to be a diary, just a notebook where she scribbled things which appeared to be for poems or music.

'There's always someone laughing,
from the corner of their cage,
but to fly amongst the mountains you must dance within the waves.'

He continued to read.

'Cause what you see is crystal wall,
what you breath is silver air, '

Turning the page he found the most recent things she had written in ther, dated from a couple of days ago.

'Maybe I'm just living out the same old stories in and out
but you know that don't make it easier'

'It's funny how the times that seem unbearable
Are the ones that you don't ever want to end
And when your childhood slips away
You find you face a brand new day
And you know it can't be the same again'

hearing footsteps he quickly closed the book and shoved it back in his bag, before opening his Hogwarts, a history.

Alex had searched her entire dorm and common room for her blue notebook. She didn't find it, so she decided to check her classrooms from that day incase she had left it behind by mistake.

Secretly she was devastated that she couldn't find the book, with the fear that someone else might've been reading it's contents. Sure it wasn't her diary, she didn't believe in keeping diaries, but it was her writing, her music. Of course she had never finished a single song that she had started but she had never let anyone read it, not even Georgie.

Eventually not finding it Alex decided to make her way to the library where she had briefly stopped after he last lesson.

Before she got there though she heard two familiar voices, one of which said her name. Quickly she stepped behind a statue of a hippogriff and a dog as Sam and Nicole actually stopped incredibly close to it. They were so close Alex could clearly hear their conversation.

"SO do you really think we'd be able to break them up/' Sam asked.

"Sam, we don't even know if this Logan guy's her boyfriend," She heard Nicole's voice reply.

"I know, but you know Draco, once he get's an idea he wont stop until he's finished it. Besides it is kind of obvious that she likes Potter so, maybe we should just let Draco do his thing…" Sam replied, slightly muffled, Alex peered through the gap between the hippogriff's wings and saw that she was tying her shoe up.

"Yeah but what if she doesn't actually like him, I don't want to be responsible for the break up of her and her boyfriend…" Nicole said as they started to leave.

Alex waited until they had left before she stepped out from behind the statue and sat at the base of it.

Boyfriend? Me?…LOGAN? She thought to herself once their words had sunk in fully. She frowned as she tried to work out what was going on. Suddenly she realised what the three of them were trying to do.

Great, just what I need FRIENDS who are trying to 'HELP' she rolled her eyes as she continued her way to the library.

Riley was pretending to read his book as Alex entered the library, neither of them noticed each other – at first.

Alex began to look under the tables and armchairs in search for her book when she came to the table Riley was reading at.

"Riley," she said and he looked up.

"Yeah?" he asked her over the top of his book.

"oh…um…nothing…" she said and began to walk off.

"Hey, Alex" he called out "I found this, it thought it was yours." He pulled the book out his bag and handed threw it to her.

She caught it and Riley noticed the slightly horrified look on her face, "oh yeah, thanks." And with that riley watched her exit the library.

Blaise and Hermione had been in his office a meeting together for at least an hour now, and Hermione was frustrated from the lack of attention Blaise was paying to it.

"Blaise, we need all this sorted before we can take the students to Fascino Quas," she stated looking up from the paper she was writing on.

He looked at her. "The trip is still two weeks away."

She sighed and continued to write as he just sat there not doing anything.

"Ok, tomorrow I will go down to Hogsmeade and drop the list of to Fred and George," she began.

"I already dropped it off on Saturday." He interrupted her.

"Right then." She looked at the man, "well I guess we could organise a meeting with the students again this Friday to let them know all the details."

Blaise nodded absentmindedly.

"Blaise, what's wrong?" she sighed

"Nothing," he said looking at her surprised. She raised her eyebrows, giving him a look that said 'tell me because I know something is up'.

"Fine." He began, "I was just thinking about Alex."

"Alex?" Hermione asked, "What did she spend all your money on the weekend?"

Blaise ignored the sarcasm in her voice and shook his head.

"She's what fifteen right?" he asked and Hermione nodded, "So that means she's you know interested in boys…" he trailed off, not believing he was telling his ex-fiancé he didn't want boys near his daughter if they weren't friends. "Whose Logan?" he asked.

Grinning slightly, she replied, "Logan? I think that's Alex's sex crazed boyfriend." She watched as Blaise paled.

She laughed, "Blaise I'm kidding, Logan is, well I guess Logan is sort of like her brother." She stopped as the colour came back into Blaise's face, "Elizabeth, Georgie and Logan's mother was one of the few people I was actually friends with in New York. She's English, but moved to America after her husband was killed by a group of death eaters. She gave birth to Georgie and Logan the same day I had Alex, the three of became best friends and went to school together. They were pretty much the only other family we had besides Ron and Jess."

"Oh," was Blaise's reply.

Hermione stood up, "well I think this is all we can do tonight. I'll talk to Dumbledore tomorrow about the portkey's." she said as Blaise stood aswell.

"It's funny isn't it?" she said as she walked toward the door.

"What is?" Blaise asked confused.

"How easy worrying about her comes" she called over her shoulder and headed back to her own office, out of the dungeons.

Riley returned to the Gryffindor common room at a late hour. She was so late that nearly all of the students had gone to bed, except for a few 7th years and a dark-haired girl who was quietly writing in her blue notebook.

She looked up as Riley entered the common room and watched as he looked at her before he made his way toward the boy's dormitories.

"Riley," she called out softly, not wanting to disturb anyone. He turned around and went and sat in the chair next to hers. "I'm sorry." She said before he could say anything, "you do know what their trying to do don't you?"

He looked at her with his bright green eyes, "who?" he asked.

"Draco, Sam and Nicole," she began "I heard them, well I heard Nicole and Sam. They were talking about trying to get us, me and you" she pointed to each of them, "together."

"But you have a boyfriend," Riley said, wishing he didn't.

"Why does everybody think that? Logan is not my boyfriend, that's just…" she shuddered.

"You don't have a boyfriend?" he asked.

"No I don't.," she stated.

They both sat there in silence.

"Well…what do you want to do about Draco and Sam and Nicole then?" Alex finally asked him. He shrugged, "I can talk to draco and tell him to drop it." He said staring up.

"Okay," Alex said, riley couldn't help but notice the slight look of disappointment on her face as she too stood up. "Good night Riley" she said as she made her way toward the girls dorm.

"Night Alex," he said as he watched her disappear up the stairs, before he too disappeared into his own dorm.

Hermione stepped into her dark office and lit the candles with a flick of her wand, before sitting down at her desk. This was when she noticed the letter, which had not been on her desk last time she was in her.

It was a folded piece of black parchment and as she unfolded it she read the silver writing.

"You better watch yourself, your daughter too, you filthy mudblood." She dropped the parchment when she heard a knock on the door. It was Harry.

"Hermione," he said, 'I now it's late, but I had this great idea for the kids trip…"

They sat on either side of the desk.

"What's that?" he asked seeing the piece of black parchment. Hermione who was quiet shaken by the letter burst into tears as Harry picked it up and read it to himself.

"Right," he said as he walked around the desk and hugged Hermione, "I think we need to see Dumbledore." And with grabbing her hand he led Hermione to Dumbledore's office.

"Professor Dumbledore," Harry began as the headmaster entered his office with his pyjamas on. "I'm sorry to wake you, but this letter it was in Hermione's office." He put the black parchment on the headmaster desk and waited as the now very old headmaster read what it said.

"it is quite alright that you woke me, as I will not tolerate anything like this in Hogwarts, not now, not ever." He said and looked at Hermione, "Hermione dear, do you know who could have sent this to you?"

Hermione shook her head, "no, I found it in my office after I finished the meeting with Blaise bout the trip."

"Right, well Harry, I ask that you watch Hermione and the people around her until we find out who sent his letter." Dumbledore said turning to the defence against the dark arts teacher.

"What about Alex/" Hermione asked, "the mentioned her too."

"Don't worry, we wont let anything happen to her, and I'm sure once we let Blaise know he will protect her like it was his own life." Harry said squeezing the witch's hand tightly before Dumbledore could speak.

"Harry's right. Blaise will do anything he can to make sure neither you or Alex will get hurt." Dumbledore added standing up and showing them out of his office., "but tonight, I think it would b best if you did not stay by yourself. Maybe you could stay with her Harry."

Once they had left his office Hermione looked at her old friend.

"Harry, you don't have to stay with me. I'll be fine." She said, hoping she sounded more confident and brave than she felt.

He shook his head, "No, Ginny would kill me if I left you alone."

They entered her room, to find the same message form the black parchment written across the wall now and he room trashed.

Hermione could fell Harry's anger from where he was standing.

"Hermione, I think it would be best if you stayed in mine and Ginny's room. I can sleep on the couch, I'm sure Ginny won't mind sharing a bed with you.' He said as calmly as he could.

Hermione simply nodded and grabbed some of her things before she let Harry take her back to the room he shared with his wife.

"Ginny," he said as they entered the room, "I need to see Dumbledore. Hermione needs to stay here tonight. I'll be back shortly." He kissed his wife on the cheek before she could say anything and left.

"Hermione what's happened?" she asked hugging her as Hermione burst into tears again and explained everything that happened to her sister-like friend.

Both of the witches were asleep on the bed before Harry had returned.

Before Harry had gone to see Dumbledore he had gone to get Ron, who he instructed to get Blaise and meet him at Hermione's room.

As the headmaster entered Hermione's room he waited in the corridor for the two other men.

"Harry," Blaise began as he entered the corridor with the red headman, "What's happened? Is she alright?"

"Blaise, she's fine. I've left her with Ginny." He began as the headmaster exited her room. "I just thought you should know, sinceit says something about Alex too."

"what?" he asked as he paled.

"Harry what's going?" Ron asked.

"Someone is threatening Professor Granger and her daughter, Mr Weasley," Dumbledore said.

"Threatening? Why?" Blaise asked. "Who?"

"Who it is and why they are doing it we do not know." He aid looking at the potions teacher, "but we know that both Alex and Hermione may be in danger."
