See, I said I'd have the next chapter up soon….
"Welcome to Fascino Quas," the short blonde woman repeated as the rest of the Gryffindor students appeared. Finally Alex realised they were standing in the ball room of her old school, something she had not noticed before from being too distracted by the person behind her.
"I am Professor Dokoft, the headmistress here," She paused as both Hermione and Blaise made their way to the front where she was standing, " we are glad that you have joined us for the week."
The students began to talk amongst themselves as the four Hogwarts teachers spoke with the headmistress.
"That's the headmaster?" Alex heard Draco ask, she didn't bother to reply to him though, carefully looking around at the familiar room they were standing in.
She moved her way over to the window and looked out at the muggle building that was surrounding the school. While the muggles couldn't see the building itself, it was in the middle of the city and surrounded by much higher skyscrapers.
"Wow," Riley said and Alex looked up, unaware that he had followed her to the window, "I've never seen so many buildings all together before."
"Yeah,' Alex replied turning back to look out the window again, "It's one thing I missed, waking up to the lights of new York, its beautiful at night and in the morning when Georgie used to make me get up."
"Ok, everyone settle down," Hermione's voice rang through the ballroom, and Alex and Riley returned to their small group of friends.
"Professor Dokoft has just informed us that the students are still in lesson, however rooms in each house have set aside for us, with your luggage already being taken there." She paused and watched as the blonde headmaster exited the room.
"The first, and second years will be staying in the Rutilus house, with Professor Weasley," Blaise continued, "the third and fourth years will be staying in the Croceus house with professor Granger, and the fifth, sixth and seventh years will be staying in the Niveus house with Professor Potter and myself. However we will not be able to enter the houses, until after diner tonight once we have received the passwords."
"Until then, you are free to either stay here or explore the castle, however you are not to interrupt the classes that are taking place," Hermione finished off and most of the students began talking again.
Suddenly chars appeared in the ballroom and most of the students began to sit down.
"So," Draco said as he sat down, "This school is kind of crap."
"Draco, shut up," Sam hissed at him, looking at Alex.
'Oh yeah right," He paused, "so are you going to sit down," he said pointedly to Alex, Nicole and Riley.
Riley and Nicole sat down, but Alex ignored him.
"I'm going for a walk," She said and began to walk toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Riley called out to her, standing up, following her out of th ballroom.
"To find some people," she said stopping to let him catch up.
"But your Mum, she said everyone was in class." He said as they continued to walk.
"Riley it's Friday afternoon, believe me when I tell you that my friends will not be in class," she said giving him a small smile, "We just have to find them."
"Gee, I wonder where they're going…" Draco smirked as he watched riley and Alex exit the ballroom.
"Shut up Malfoy," Nicole said, turning towards him, "I think we should just forget about the plan."
"Why, it's going to work," He replied.
"How do you know Draco? I mean they both already know about it, Riley told you they both know." Sam said, letting of his hand, "Maybe Nicole's right, maybe we should just let them work things out themselves."
Both girls waited for Draco to exploding response.
"Fine," He said simply, "but you can't stop me from giving them a little push can you?"
"What did you do?" Sam asked, as Nicole turned to talk to her younger bothers and cousin Paul.
"Nothing…"he paused, "I mean I can't help it if Riley's costume accidentally got switched can I?" He smirked.
The four teachers were sitting at a small table that Harry had conjured drinking coffee, in the large ballroom, watching the students. Most of them had chosen to stay in there, rather than explore the castle.
"Harry, your wrong, Italy are going to win the world cup this year, England don't have a chance," Blaise said as he and Harry continued on their quidditch conversation.
Hermione sighed and drank her coffee, as Jess laughed at them
"It's just like watching Ron and Paul argue," She told Hermione.
Hermione smiled, remembering the way Harry and Ron used to fight over quidditch.
"Something's never change," She replied.
Hermione and Jess continued talking, sharing stories about Ron, until Hermione heard her name in Harry and Blaise's conversation, careful to continue the conversation with Jess she began to listen to the conversation the two men were having.
"Just don't do anything stupid this time," she heard Harry say softly, obviously he had forgiven Blaise and blamed Ginny equally for what had happened, "she doesn't deserve her heart to be broken again."
"I know Harry," Blaise said quietly, "you know if I could take back anything, ti would be that night."
Out of the corner of her eye, Hermione saw Harry nod.
"Are you sure you know where your going?" riley asked Alex, as they turned to walk up yet another set of stairs.
"Riley, I went to school here for four years, it think I know where I'm going," she said as they go to the top of the stairs.
He followed her as the came to a door and Alex but her hand on the knob to open it.
'Maybe I should go back to the ballroom, that way you can catch up with your friend," riley stated before Alex could open the door.
She let go of the silver handle and shook her head.
"Why? You're my friend aswell, besides if I didn't want you to come with me then I would have told you," she said and wen tot open the door again, "Besides do you know how to get back' she smiled and pushed the door open.
As Alex pulled Riley inside, he found he was standing in a room that looked similar to the Gryffindor common room, but there was no way near as much furniture, it being replaced with a series of musical instruments and only three other students were in the room.
The boys and a girl, none of which yet noticed the two Hogwarts students.
Alex took a moment to take in her three friends, all of whom seemed to look that little bit different.
Logan who was sitting at a desk with headphones seemed to look that little bit taller to Alex, with his blonde hair looking closer to brown, he was scribbling quickly on a piece of paper. The other boy was leaning against the couch, with the girl leaning on his shoulder, deep in conversation.
Georgie who was wearing her dark purple school robes open was wearing her usual black jeans and bright red t-shirt, still looked the same to Alex, although her blonde ringlets were slightly shorter and there seem to be a sparkle in her eyes.
The boy, Charlie, seemed taller with his brown hair looking longer and messier.
Finally Logan looked up from his paper, noticing his friend and the redhead boy.
Smiling he stood up, which caused Charlie and Georgie to stop their conversation and look at what the boy was looking at.
Georgie screamed and practically knocked Alex over by jumping on her.
"Oh my God Alex! I missed you so much," She squealed as the two girls hugged.
"I've missed you too, " she said, 'so you and Charlie, huh?" She whispered in the blonde girls ear.
"Shut up," she replied as they broke apart, "I was going to tell you."
"Georgie, get off her," Logan said as he hugged the girl, "How are you?"
"Logie, I've missed you too, I'm good though, u?" she asked, using his nickname from when they were younger.
'Oh you, know just getting grossed out by my sister and best friend." He said laughing slightly, although Alex could tell he was being serious.
Finally once all the hugs were over and finished with, Alex remembered Riley, who had stepped back when Georgie jumped on Alex.
"This is riley," She said grabbing his hand, pulling him forward, "this is Logan, Georgie and Charlie," she said pointing to each of them individually, still holding his hand.
Logan, noticing that they were holding hands, suddenly became the protective brother, purposefully shaking his hand, pulling him away from Alex, making him sit at the table.
"Aren't you Harry potter's son?" Charlie asked, joining them at the table as Georgie and Alex began talking on the floor.
'Yeah, why?" riley asked, getting defensive.
"No reason," He shrugged, and Riley felt Logan looking at him.
"Alex, has talked a lot about you and your sister," He said, pausing, "she really missed yo both."
Logan grunted in reply and began writing again, as riley and Charlie both sat in awkward silence.
"I don't think Logan likes me going out with Charlie," Georgie whispered to Alex on the floor, "Charlie said he doesn't talk to him any more."
"Gee, I wonder, why?" Alex replied, pretending to thin for a moment, "Maybe because he sister and his best friend are shagging each other?"
"Alex," Georgie said, hitting her on the shoulder.
"I'm kidding," Alex said laughing.
"SO, hows your little problem going?" Georgie asked her quietly, glancing at the three boys.
"What problem/" Alex asked innocently.
"Come off it Alex, you now what I'm talking about." She said.
"Your right, I do, but nothing's happened. Were just friends." Alex replied, looking at Riley.
'Really? Why were you holding hands then?" Georgie asked her teasingly.
"What? When?" Alex hissed confused as to what she was accusing her of.
"Before, didn't you see Logan, he went all brotherly and pulled him away from you, you should feel lucky you have Logan to look out for you," She explained with a hint of sarcasm.
"Whatever, were just friends," Alex said standing up, moving towards the instruments.
"Where's Kimmie and Brain?" she asked, moving away from the smirking Georgie.
Charlie shrugged, "I dunno, they should be here soon though." Logan said, "we have practise."
"Oh," Alex replied," I guess me and Riley should leave then."
"No, stay, Practise hasn't been very good since you left. I mean Georgie can't sing for crap compared to you right Charlie?" Logan asked and Charlie nodded as Georgie slapped them playfully on the back of the head. "Hey,' she complained.
'Practise?" Riley asked.
"Um yeah, I used to be in a band here with these three and Kimmie and Brian, you don't mind staying do ya?" Alex asked, sitting next to riley.
He shook his head, as the door opened and two arguing voices filled the room.
"They haven't changed," Logan whispered to her, as they watched the black headed girl yell at the boy who was getting angrier by the second, "Yup, they still hate each other," Georgie giggled.
They continued to watch them for a couple more minutes, neither of them noticing the other people. Finally when Kimmie threw her bag on the couch Logan coughed and they both looked at the table where they were sitting.
"Alex?" Brain asked, 'When did you get here?"
"About an hour ago," she said standing up, hugging both of them, "how are you?"
"Fine," Kimmie answered and Brian said "good," both gave each other daggers.
"Um, this is Riley," Alex said quickly before they began arguing again, "He's my friend from Hogwarts."
"Hey," Kimmie said, smiling at him as Brian simply gave him a nod.
"Riley nodded back in return, as the three other teenagers stood up from the table.
"Alex is going to practise with us today," Logan said as he picked up a guitar.
Charlie sat behind the set of Drums as Kimmie moved behind the piano, and Brian and Georgie both picked up their own guitars.
"Are you sure you don't mind?" Alex Asked Riley as he moved to watch them from the couch, "I mean we could just go back to the ballroom and Hang with Draco and Nikki."
"Nah, it's ok, I want to watch," Riley replied as she moved behind where the microphone stand was.
Riley watched as Kimmie began to press the keys on the piano, while Charlie began a soft beat on the drums, soon all five instruments were playing and Alex was singing into the microphone.
In the ballroom, the Gryffindor students were getting restless, but none of them wanted to leave the ballroom.
Soon, Harry stood up and announced that in half an hour they would be moving into the great hall to have dinner with the other students, which seemed to relax the Hogwarts student a bit.
As Harry sat down, he realised that he had not seen his son the entire after noon.
"Hey Hermione, you haven't seen Riley have you? Ginny will kill me if something happens to him," Harry muttered to the witch.
Looking away from Blaise, she scanned the room, unable to find neither the redhead boy nor her own daughter.
"He's probably with Alex," she said, "She probably went to find the twins."
"The twins?" Blaise questioned her.
"Yeah, Georgie and Logan, " Hermione said, smiling, "They're inseparable when their together, so she's lucky her year were put in the Niveus house, although Harry you might have a little trouble, sometimes they like to act like Fred George."
"Great," Harry said rolling his eyes and Jess laughed.
After five songs, Alex sat down next to Riley and watched as Logan gave them a guitar solo, looking down at her watch, which she had adjusted earlier, she saw that it was almost dinnertime.
'Riley, I think we should go back to the ballroom," She said and stood up, "we'll see you guys later," she shouted at her friends as she pulled riley back towards the ball room.
"I didn't know you could sing," Riley said as they neared the ballroom.
Alex shrugged, "I play the piano too," she said.
"I bet if you asked Dumbledore, he'd set some kind of program up for you at Hogwarts," He said seriously as they entered the great hall.
Waving to her father, who seemed to be watching the door, she turned to Riley, "why would I want to do that?" she asked him.
"Well you just seem to enjoy it and we don't have music at Hogwarts so I figured you would miss it too," he replied as the moved towards where Draco, Sam, Nicole and some other guys from their year were.
"I guess," Alex replied, as she sat next to Nicole, and their conversation ended as Nicole asked her where she had been all this time and Alex went into detail about how she had seen her friends.
"So, you and Granger were gone for a while," Draco smirked as Riley sat next to him, still watching Alex, "Get up to anything interesting?"
"Draco leave him alone," Sam, said as Riley realised what he meant.
"Draco, I've already told you were just friends,' he said
Draco muttered something that Riley could have sworn was "For the moment anyway." but chose to ignore him.
The Gryffindor students all stood, with their Black Hogwarts robes over their clothes, out the front of Fascino Quas' great hall, waiting for Professor Dokoft to let them in.
"You are to sit in the house that you have been assigned to," Hermione reminded them as the doors opened.
The Fascino Quas students all turned towards the door as the Hogwarts students entered.
Alex waved to Kimmie and Charlie who were sitting at the Rutilus table, while Brian was sitting with a group of boys Alex tried to ignore at the Croceus, she lead her friends to the final table where Logan and Georgie were sitting, under a white a silver banner, the Niveus table. As they sat she introduced Draco, Sam and Nicole to Georgie and Logan. Before any of them could continue a conversation, Professor Dokoft spoke to the students.
"We hope you Hogwarts enjoy your stay, as much as we enjoy having you here," The blonde witch paused and smiled, "over the next week you will be experiencing the classes that Fascino Quas offers, I believe many of them are similar to the ones that Hogwarts offers young witches and wizards, however here we also offer classes of the arts. Hopefully you will enjoy them."
"Thursday night, the Halloween ball will be held in the great Ballroom, I believe that the Hogwarts teachers have organised a few treats fro you, while some of our own drama students will be providing you with some entertainment at the beginning of the night," she paused and glanced at the Hogwarts teachers, "Friday afternoon the Hogwarts students will return to their school and during the first week back after Christmas the Rutilus house will join Hogwarts for a week, but now please enjoy the feast," she sat and the food appeared on the table, while the students began to talk.
"Hey, Alex," riley said, "Look at Jess and Natalie."
Alex looked toward the two girls, both were desperately trying to get a particular boy's attention, but this time it wasn't Riley, it was Logan.
Alex looked at Logan, who wasn't exactly ignoring the other two girls, he was just too preoccupied in his own thoughts, that and he was watching Nicole Weasley intently.
"I think it's her vela blood," Riley whispered as he noticed the way Logan was gazing at his cousin.
"it might be," Alex said grinning at him, "Or he could think she's hot." She winked at riley before turning to join the conversation that Georgie and Draco were having about quidditch.
