Chapter 1

"Have you packed yet Harry?" Ron asked, shoving goodies from Zonko's into his trunk.

'Of course he hasn't, he doesn't leave for another week." Hermione said from her seat on the windowsill.

"Right, so what do you think you'll do this summer, besides potion making?"

"I don't know. And I actually am packed because I have to stay in their spare room since the dorms will be sealed." Harry sighed.

"Do you think you'll have to do work?" Ron asked, stuffing a chocolate frog into his mouth and pocketing the card.

"I don't really care Ron. Anywhere is bound to be better than the Dursleys."

"What in the blazes are you doing Alex?" Severus asked as he watched his fiancé flit around the room that had originally been hers before her memory returned.

"I'm just straightening it up in here. I doubt that a teen age boy would want to stay in a room completely purple." Alex smiled at him, turning the room into a Gryffindor red.

"Bloody hell. A Gryffindor brat in my chambers." Severus muttered as he walked away from the room. It was going to be a long summer indeed.

After Harry had said goodbye to his friends he went to find his aunt. She had said from him to come get her and she would take him to his temporary room.

"Aunt Alex?" Harry asked, entering her classroom.

"Up here, Harry." She called from inside her office. "Everyone gone then?"

"Yes." Harry answered, leaning against the doorframe.

"Very good. Just let me finish up here and we'll go fetch your things." She smiled, lifting her wand and casting one spell that caused all of her things to put themselves away.

"Aren't you coming back next year?" Harry asked as he watched all of her things pack neatly into a large trunk.

"I am, but I don't want to leave all of these things out to gather dust." Alex said, leading Harry out of the now empty room. "So are you excited for summer holiday?"

'Uhm… yeah, I suppose." Harry shrugged. The happiness that he would be feeling about not going back to the Dursleys was replaced with the dread of spending the summer at Snape's even if his aunt was there.

"Don't worry, I have spoken with Professor Snape and he has agreed that if you behave yourself then he will." Harry just shrugged as they walked to Gryffindor tower.

They transported Harry's things to the spare room, and then went to the Great Hall for lunch. "Ah there you are Alexandra." Dumbledore smiled. "Severus fails to make meals the last week, so I wonder if you would let him know that the Port Key will be in the set place on Friday at four o'clock."

"I will make sure he is told. I'll be lucky to get him out of here by four." Alex smiled, pouring some water into her goblet.

"What are your plans for the summer?" Minerva asked, sipping her tea.

"Nothing is really planned, but we'll probably end up going to the summer festival."

"What's the summer festival?" Harry asked.

"It's a week long celebration in Hogsmead, it'll be good fun." Alex smiled. As soon as lunch was finished Alex took Harry down to the dungeons to see his new room.

That's all for now, let me know what you think.
