Alexis, Connor, and her friends and family and friends of the family.

Chapter 2- Potions

After a few complaints from Lily, James moves next to Remus to let Alexis sit with Lily. Only problem was she hadn't arrived yet.

"I think she-Alexis!" Lily waves.

Alexis slightly smiles looking to Lily walking over to them and takes the empty seat next to her.

"I was beginning to think you got lost. How come you weren't at breakfast?"

"Over slept." Alexis answers as she sets her bag on the desk and begins to braid her tail.

"Wow, your hair is long." Says Peter.

"And incredibly annoying." She opens her bag on the desk in search of a hair tie, pulling out a few things; a photo album and a journal. "Ah." She finds a hair tie.

"Can I look through this?"

"Is that a journal?" Sirius leans over and picks up a red book.

"Yeah."

"A.D.W.R.? You have two middle names?"

"Alexis Dawn Winifred Riedel."

"Give it back Sirius." Remus tells him.

"Its okay. He wouldn't be able to get into it with out the key."

"Your English is very good for a German." Peter points out.

"My mothers German and my dads Native American. She met him while going to school in the states."

"Who is this? He's gorgeous."

"That would be my brother." Alexis laughs at Lily's slight embarrassment. "Richard is single. His twin is kind of in a on and off relationship with some French woman I despise."

"Why do you despise her?" Remus asks.

"How do you tell them apart?"

"Alohimorah." Sirius waves his wand at her journal. "Hey, it didn't work."

"Richard wears mesh and Raymond wears silk." Alexis shows Lily flipping the page. "Can I have my journal back?"

"Where's the key?"

"Like I'm going to tell you."

"Oh my god, Alexis is naked!" James snatches the photo album from Lily. "Aw, false alarm."

"Bubble bath?"

"Yeah."

"Viktor thinking he's funny."

"Let me see." Sirius takes the photo album from James and begins to look through it. "Who is he? He looks a lot older then you." He holds the photo album out to her.

In the picture were a white blond haired man in black jeans and a black vest with his arms around her sitting in a chair. Remus, James, Peter and Lily all look.

"Boyfriend?" Lily asks.

"Vampire." She replies putting her journal back in her bag; they all look at her. "What?"

"A vampire? Aren't you scared of him?" Peter squeaks.

"No. He's never hurt me."

As the potions master enters the room the door slams behind him. Sirius hands Alexis her photo album and she quickly puts it away and sets her bag on the floor under her desk. He waves a hand at the board and notes appear.

"Copy it and begin. The potion will take two days to make, work with a partner. We will discuss it next time we meet."

"Partner?" Lily asks Alexis.

"I thought we were going to work together."

Seeing Lily make a pleading face Alexis nods a yes making James groan.

"You copy, I'll get ingredients."

"Partners?"

"Sure." Remus tells him turning around to get up when he sees Severus approaching Alexis.

"What?" Sirius says then turns around. He chuckles. "Look at him fidgeting like a girl." He and James laugh while Peter and Remus chuckle. "Aren't you going to go get him away from your girl?"

"She's not my girlfriend."

"But you think she's cute."

"I'm not like you Sirius. I enjoy intellectual conversation."

"Ooh, ouch Mooney." James tells him.

"Harsh.' Peter adds.

"Owe."

"I know it was mean, I'm sorry. But you need to learn not to tease me."

"But its funny to see you mad."

"Of course you would think that." Says Lily.

Alexis sets some vials on her desk and sits down lighting the little flame under the cauldron.

"So what did you and Snivellis have to say to each other?" Sirius asks.

"Who so concerned?"

"I'm not."

"Then why ask?"

"I'm nosey."

"He asked if we could be partners the next assignment and I said yes."

"Yes! Are you kidding me?"

"Sounds like someone is jealous." Remus says, getting back at Sirius for earlier.

"Am not. I just don't want her getting infected with something from the grease ball."

"If you say so." James says.

Lily and Alexis were too busy with their potion to be listening to them talking.

"She's not even listening to you." Remus points out with a small laugh.

"Shut up Mooney."

"Sorry, was I supposed to be listening?" Alexis smirks dumping in some roots.

James and Remus give a short laugh.
