Chapter Five

RECAP:

"Yeah…right," I snort. There's only one boy who I want to go with I thought.

END RECAP

A/N Ssh, Roxxi's dreaming. Let's see her blissful dreams, or horrific nightmares. On the other hand, it looks like she forgot to perform Occlumency before sleep overtook her last night. What evilness will penetrate her dreams now?

"Why Roxanne, you forgot your ritual. I have been waiting for this," hissed a voice. "Who's that? Who's there?" I questioned. One man stepped out of the shadows. Okay– maybe not exactly a man, it didn't even look human.

More like if someone had drawn a man and disfigured him terribly or turned him into something grotesque. Red eyes, slits for nostrils, pale almost white skin, absolutely no hair, fingers so slim and slender, they looked out of place on his body, encased by billowing black robes. Okay, I've described the most evil entity on Earth.

"I am Lord Voldermort," he says. "Am I supposed to tremble in fear or bow down due to your supposedly amazing entrance?" I ask. "Don't you dare talk to me like that!" he said. "Don't come near me, you monster!" I yelled. "Why are we yelling? I just wanted to make an offer," he said. "What sort of offer? I'll pretend to listen, then understand, then reject you like a rich bitch and numerous suitors," I say. "So that is your final decision? You won't join me?" he says. "Yes, I am not going to join you," I reply. "Very well, you have chosen your fate. You'll suffer the same fate as the rest of the Order," he says. "Crucio" he yells. I twitch and writhe in pain.

Back In Reality

I wake up with a start and topple off the bed. I grab my glasses. "My god, I am so totally not letting the Order die. Even if it means sacrificing me," I say. I get up and go downstairs. I see the familiar black hair of Harry.

'Hi' I say. 'Oh, hi Roxxi, what are you doing down here?' says Harry. 'Eh, couldn't sleep. Frickin' nightmare woke me up.' I say, a tad grumpily. 'Really now, you can tell Me.' he says in his cute British accent.

Wait - did you just think Harry's accent was CUTE? Damn, I am so crushin' on him.

"It started with this…"Why Roxanne, you forgot your ritual. I have been waiting for this," hissed a voice. "Who's that? Who's there?" I questioned. One man stepped out of the shadows. Okay– maybe not exactly a man, it didn't even look human.

"I am Lord Voldermort," he says. "Am I supposed to tremble in fear or bow down due to your supposedly amazing entrance?" I ask. "Don't you dare talk to me like that!" he said. "Don't come near me," I yelled. "Why are we yelling? I just wanted to make an offer," he said. "What sort of offer? I'll pretend to listen, then understand, then reject you like a rich bitch and numerous suitors," I say. "So that is your final decision? You won't join me?" he says. "Yes, I am not going to join you," I reply. "Very well, you have chosen your fate. You'll suffer the same fate as the rest of the Order," he says. "Crucio" he yells. I twitch and writhe in pain," I say. "And that's what happened," I say. Harry doesn't say anything but he wraps his arms around me. "Don't worry Roxxi, I won't let him hurt you," he says, softly. "Harry – I know I have to die sometime or another, but I can't bear to leave Chloe, Benji, Mum, Hermione, Ron…you," I say quietly.

-Harry's POV-

I listened in shock. It sounded a lot like the dreams I had been having. I could also see the marks on her skin where she must have bruised herself. I stroked her hair, and tried to sooth her. She listed off some people she did not want to leave behind if she died. Chloe, Benji, her mum, Hermione, Ron and you could have sworn she said my name. 'Um Roxxi, I don't mean to change the subject, but did you say my name?' I ask. 'Oh damn.' I heard her mutter. 'Well, kind of, yeah," she stammers. My heart skips a beat. We both blush. I could have sworn my face was as red as Ron's hair.

Roxxi says 'Well, thanks Harry, for listening to me.' She gives me a small kiss and goes upstairs. I sat there in a daze until I heard an 'Ahem' in front of me. 'Hey Harry' says Sophie, her sister. 'Oh, hi Chloe,' I say. 'I think my sister likes you, you know. I would bet my broomstick that you like her too' she says with a smirk. I remain silent. 'Harry, there will be lots of possible 'The Ones' but only one will be right. Oh well. However, let me ask you something Harry. Does anyone else make your knees go weak? Does your heart skip a beat when you see Roxxi? Maybe so, you never know until you say something," she says, disappearing.

I stood in shock. Both of the Black sisters had shocked me. I had a minute or two to think. Chloe's words kept replaying in my mind. "'Harry, there will be lots of possible 'The Ones' but only one will be right. Oh well. However, let me ask you something Harry. Does anyone else make your knees go weak? Does your heart skip a beat when you see Roxxi? Maybe so, you never know until you say something," she said. I thought for a while. Chloe's words were true. Roxxi DID make my knees go weak. Roxxi DID make my heart skip a beat.

I would have to talk to her at breakfast.

Back To Roxxi

I didn't sleep well. Late last night, Chloe came into my dorm and whispered something to me.

"I saw what happened, Roxxi. I know what happened to you. Therefore, I talked some sense into him. If he comes up to you, looking nervous, well, you'll know why," she said. "Chloe, what did you do?" I asked. "Like I said, talked some sense into him," she said, smirking. I shook my head and watched her head out the door. I took off my glasses and tried to sleep.

X-X-X-X

I woke up to Hermione's wake-up call. "ROXXI, WAKE UP! YOU KNOW IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF CLASSES!" she sang. "You have a lovely voice Hermione, but it's not wise to mess with me in the morning," I reply. I grabbed my wand and said, 'Aqueous Erupto,' I said. Immediately, a jet of water shot out of my wand and splashed Hermione's face. "ROXANNE BLACK, you are totally going to pay for that!" she screamed.

I started laughing as I ran downstairs with a soaked Hermione on my tail. 'You can't catch me 'Mione. No one can. I took sprinting in my old school!' I said. She chased me everywhere, yet I still ended up in the Gryffindor common room. I felt a pair of arms grab me. 'Hey! Let me go!' I screamed. It was Harry. He slung me over his shoulder while I screamed and hit him. "No Roxxi, you can't be let loose until you promise not to kill Hermione," he said. "Fine, I, Roxanne Hannah Black promise not to kill Hermione Jane Granger," I say. "Very nice middle name," he says. "And you Harry James Potter, thank you for letting me go," I say. As an after-thought I reach into his head, wanting to find out what was he thinking.

God, Potter. You're so dumb. You can't even ask a girl out on a date! This sucks. I'm talking to myself, how lame.

He thinks that. Aww, that is so cute. Memo to self: If Harry asks you out on a date, ACCEPT,

I went up, took a shower, dried my hair and got dressed with my new red and gold tie. Ah, the joy of the Gryffindor colours, I've always loved red and gold. I come down into the common room. I see my brother and sister waiting for me.

"Oh hey there," I say. "Hey," they say, grinning. "What? Why are you grinning? I can't possibly imagine why," I reply. "Oh, well, expect something at breakfast," said Chloe. "Chloe Leanne Black, what did you do now?" I sighed. "Don't use my full name Roxanne Hannah Black!" she yelled. "Fine. Let's say Benji's then. Benjamin Sirius Black," I say, cheerfully. "Shut up, both of you," he grumbles.

I giggle and walk. Draco Malfoy, two Neanderthals and a girl with a pug-like face come up to us. "Oh look, it's the freaks," said the girl. "Don't speak to us like that you pug-faced bitch," said Chloe. "Draco, tell your little girlfriend to quit insulting us," I say. "Why, I can't stop her saying things which are true," he says. "Now Draco, if we're freaks, then you've got the IQ of a rock. At least we're gifted; you're just thinking you're a smartass, but actually a dumbass. You deserve the lame comeback; it's easier for you to understand. But then, be a nice cousin, we are related," says Benji. "Shut up, I am smart and you know that we're different. I'm a pureblood and you are all blood traitors," he said. "I'd rather be a blood traitor and be brave, that a pureblood who follows the coward Voldermort," says Benji. "You all are cowards and fools. Hiding behind that fool Dumbledore," hissed Draco and his Neanderthals took a step towards us. "Oh, look who's talking. The boy who needs two Neanderthals because he can't fight his own battles," I say. "Why you…" he says, taking a step towards me. He's practically nose-to-nose with me. I punch him in the eye, Chloe leaps on the girl and scratches her face and Benji beats up the Neanderthals. We leave them there and go in. "Well, that was successful," I say. "Indeed," replies Benji.

We go into the Hall with the four idiots behind us. There are, oddly, no teachers there. The Gryffindor table begins cheering. "What? Hasn't anyone done that to the cocky bastard, the two Neanderthals and his rich bitch?" I ask. "Yes, but they've never won without several injuries," says a boy across the table. "Well, that just proves that we can take on any dumbass Slytherin," says Benji. He conjures up a storm cloud over the Slytherin table and it begins raining. "Oh look, a Weather Wizard isn't too happy with the Slytherins," I say hi-5-ing Benji. "Yeah the Weather Wizard isn't, but how about my Pyro-loving sister or the heir to Mother Nature? They haven't done anything…yet," he says, smirking. "Don't smirk, it doesn't work on you," I say. Chloe send out a signal and a bunch of vines crash through the window and wrap themselves around the four idiots. I, wanting to be simple, conjure up some gigantic marshmallows that have programmed themselves to target Malfoy and anyone within four feet of him. They begin nipping at everyone and no one can move for fear of being our next target.

A teacher with greasy black hair comes in. He looks at the Slytherins, now soaked and turns to the Hall. "Who did this?" he roars. "Who the hell is that slime ball?" I ask Harry. "Severus Snape. Teaches Potions and is right foul git," he replies. "Well, we'd better own up, huh?" says Benji. "Yeah, but that's the foul git that Dad hated…and still hates," says Chloe. "We can have a little fun with this guy," I say, smiling. The three of us stand up and walk confidently over to him. "Please sir, my brother, sister and I did this to the Slytherins," I say. He looks at Benji and peers at him as if he knows him or he looks like someone he knows…or maybe had known.

"What are your names?" he asks. "Would you like the whole thing or just our first names, sir?" says Benji. "Your full names, boy," he says. "Well, I'm Chloe Leanne Black, sir," she says, crossing her arms over her chest. "I'm Roxanne Hannah Black, or Roxxi sir," I say, putting my hands on my hips. "The name's, Benjamin Sirius Black, or Benji, sir," he says grinning, putting emphasis on the Sirius. He looks shocked. "Well, um, err, go back to your table then," he says, turning around.

We walk back to the Gryffindor table. "That was wicked!" said Ron. "No one has ever talked like that to Snape and still got away with it," said Harry. I grabbed my schedule off the table. "Ooh, look what fun. We have Double Potions with the fun-nest people alive – the Slytherins," I say.
