Chapter 3: - Introductions
"Ok then," said Kingsley, "tell us."
"Why was everyone shouting at you?" Harry whispered to Alex.
"You'll hear in a minute." she said with her eyes still focused on Dumbledore.
"Alright, settle down, " said
Dumbledore, "as most of you will know, the Walker family was
allegedly working with the dark wizard
Grindelwald ,it was said
that they sold Harry's grandparents to him and they were once known
for their own...shall I say unnatural killing sprees of innocent
muggles."
"But-"
A sudden crash prevented him from continuing.
"Sorry." said Hermione who was picking up the broken dishes from off the floor.
"Your family was responsible for the deaths of mine?" asked Harry quietly.
"No," she said irritably, "just listen."
"As I was saying,"
continued Dumbledore, "the Walkers did not and I repeat, did not
betray the Potters and they did not work with
Grindelwald either,
they only supported him but in the past, they were not responsible
for the murders of muggles and wizards also. Now remember, those who
came from dark wizarding families are not always bad. You should'nt
judge a book by it's cover."
"We will continue this discussion when the rest of the Order members arrive, in which you are all invited and I mean everyone, it starts in an hour, so that leaves time for both of you to settle." he said gesturing to Harry and Alex.
At this, broad smiles appeared on the faces of the twins, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny while Mrs. Weasley pursed her lips, she knew better than to cross Dumbledore. Alex just stood there, apparently pondering what she shoud do next. Seeing this, Ginny grabbed her arm.
"Come on then," she said with a smile, "let me show you where you're gonna stay."
Smiling, Alex allowed Ginny to drag her upstairs to be properly introduced to her soon to be students.
"Look who I brought." annouced Ginny as she opened the door.
"Hi." said Alex shyly.
"I think we shoud get to know her," said Ginny, "I mean, she's just around our age so she wouldn't be as stuffy as the adults."
"Alright then," said Ron, "come on, you can sit down right next to Harry."
She sat down taking in what she was seeing, 'Harry has such nice friends, I wish I had friends like that.' she thought.
"So, Alex," came the voice of Ginny, interrupting her thoughts, "my name is Virginia Weasley, but you can call me Ginny."
"This is Hermione Granger," she said pointing to Hermione, "the smartest witch in the 6th year I might add." making Hermione blush.
"My brother Ronald Weasley, or Ron as he likes to be called and you know Harry." finished Ginny.
Staring at her, Hermione noticed that Alex looked very shy, so Hermione voiced this opinion.
"You look rather shy y'know." she said to Alex.
Laughing, Alex said winking, "Don't let this face fool you, I'm alot more dangerous than you think." Even though they were laughing, she was quite serious.
"Yeah, I hear ya." laughed Hermione.
"Whatever."
"Hey," said Ron, "d'you know how to play wizard's chess? Maybe we could play a few games."
"You don't wanna play chess with Ron," warned Harry jokingly, "he'd beat you into next week."
"Speaking from personal experience aren't we Harry?" chided Ron, making Harry flush a bright pink.
"I can take a challenge and I think I can beat you too," she said with a rather wicked grin on her face, "come on."
"Yeah, go on Ron." piped Ginny.
Taking the chessboard from his trunk, he set it up on the floor, taking the white pieces for himself and leaving the black to his opponant to begin a gruelling game of chess. Unfortunately for Ron, he was soundly beaten and what's worse, is that his opponant had only learnt how to play a few weeks ago.
"Oh no!" cried Ron holding his face in his hands, "5 games!"
"I guess your not the champ anymore now are you?" said Alex with a smirk.
"Oh shut up!." snapped Ron throwing a pillow at her.
"So that's how it is then?" she asked mockingly as she hit Ron with the pillow.
Soon enough, they began a messy pillow fight, causing all of the feathers to fall out. Laughing, they cleaned it up, as they did Mrs. Weasley stuck her head through the door.
"It's time for the meeting to start," she informed, with her lips still pursed, "and Alexandra, Professor Dumbledore has asked you to bring the blue portfolio that he has given you."
"Alright." said Alex rather coldly, no one really called her by her full name.
"Alright mum, we're coming." replied Ron.
