Here is chapter 3! Oh, and I will be taking a break on stories. I am having A BIG writer's block right now. I will be writing still, but do not be surprise if it takes me a long time to post. That is just until next weekend hopefully. So ya, thank you for sticking with my stories. : )

Chapter 3

Last Time:

Hermione looks over Alex's shoulder at her schedule.

"We have Potions, Herbology, Flying, Charms and Transfiguration together. Just flip History and Muggle Studies over then we would have all the same classes" Alex smiles at Hermione and nods.

"At least we have some together"

"More like, mostly all" Hermione laughs. The two girls laugh and walk to Transfiguration together, earning glares from Slytherins and Gryffindors.

Now:

As Alex and Hermione sits side by side in Transfiguration, they are copying down the note off of the board. Behind Alex and Hermione are Malfoy and his friend Goyle. Just then the door opens and Harry and Ron run in.

"Wow, McGonagall isn't here. We made it Harry. Can you just imagine the look on old McGonagall's face if she saw us walk in late?" Ron asks Harry.

"Guys! McGonagall is here" Alex whispers to them. Ron and Harry looks at her.

"We don't see her anywhere Al" Ron answers. Just then, the cat that was sitting on the teacher's desk jumps off and turns into McGonagall. Ron's and Harry's eyes grow wide in shock.

"That was bloody brilliant Professor" Harry nods agreeing with Ron's statement.

"Thank you Mr. Weasley. Go sit in front of Ms. Snape and Ms. Granger" Harry sits in front of Hermione as Ron sits in front of Alex. Ron then turns to Alex who was laughing.

"Shut up Alex" Ron rolls his eyes as Alex laughs harder.

"That was bloody brilliant. You really need to learn to listen to me Ronny" Alex grins as wipes the tears from her eyes. Ron sighs and nods.

"I agree. I do need to learn to listen to you. You are never wrong ever since we were 5" Ron shakes his head at his own stupidity.

~D&A~

Malfoy watches the conversation between his sister and the blood traitor. Malfoy rolls his eyes knowing that Alex will never change her ways and her friendships for anything.

Just then the bell rings and everyone walks to their next class. Malfoy walks with Crabbe and Goyle and watches as Alex jumps on Ron's back laughing with Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Is that your sister Draco?" Crabbe asks Malfoy.

"The one with black hair is my sister" Malfoy answers.

"Why is her last name Snape?" Goyle asks.

"She is adopted by my godfather. My parents didn't bother to take her home. The reason why they gave her to my godfather is because they don't want her to be a part of the stuff going on with the Dark Lord" Crabbe and Goyle nods understanding.

~A&D~

That night, Alex walks into the common room under the black lake. Alex sits down on the couch closest to the fire place. Just then Malfoy walks over to her and sits down next to her.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Alex asks not looking at him.

"Just wanting to know how your first day went" Malfoy smiles happy that she isn't pushing him away just yet.

"Why do you want to know? You are not my friend and I don't like you" Alex looks at him.

"Well that doesn't mean that I don't care. Besides I'm your older brother" Alex rolls her eyes.

"I knew the entire time that you are my brother. I am not a Malfoy though. I'm a Snape and that will NEVER change. And you are older than me by a few minutes" Malfoy smirks.

"When do you want to meet mom and dad?" Alex sighs and bites her lip.

"I will talk to MY dad. And our dad will have a different name to me. And you can tell him that in an owl" Alex stands up and begins to walk up to the dorm.

"Wait Alex!" Alex turns around.

"But will you meet them?"

"Yes, but I will not call them mom and dad"

"You just did" Alex snorts and rolls her eyes.

"I guess I did but my dad is Severus Snape. He raised me and supports me. And your mom gave dad pictures of you like he did for your mom" Alex walks away and heads to bed.

Malfoy watches Alex leave and smiles.

"At least I got my sister back" Malfoy heads to bed with a smile on his face.

~D&A~

As October 31st arrives, Alex is sitting with her friends laughing. Hermione is next to Alex and Harry and Ron are across from them. Alex and Malfoy got into a fight that day and Alex just needs a distraction.

"I will see you guys later. I need to go to the washroom" Alex walks out of the great hall and heads to the washroom on the second floor. Alex walks in and begins to cry. She closes the door of the cubicle and locks it.

~A&D~

As Harry, Ron and Hermione runs down the hall, after hearing that there is a troll in the school, they knew they had to get to Alex. Just then Harry pulls Ron and Hermione behind the wall. There is the troll, walking into the girls' washroom.

"Eww, he just went into a girls' washroom" Ron groans. Hermione and Harry roll their eyes and the three of them runs in, to help Alex. Harry, Ron and Hermione sees Alex walk out of a cubicle and freezes.

"A...ah...ah..." Alex stutters staring at the troll with wide eyes.

"Alex! Move!" Ron shouts. Alex runs back in the cubicle and ducks as the troll swings its club.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" Hermione swishes and flicks her wand, making the club levitate.

"Alex! Crawl over here" Harry tells her. Alex begins to crawl over but the troll grabs Alex's ankle and lifts her up.

"Help!" Alex screams as tears fall from her red, puffy eyes. Harry jumps on the trolls back and stuffs his wand up the troll's nose. The troll sneezes and drops Alex, but Ron does the levitation spell. He brings Alex over to him and does the same to Harry. Ron wraps his arms around the young girl, who almost got killed. Hermione drops the club on the troll's head, causing him to black out and fall to the ground with a bang.

Harry walks over and pulls his wand out of the troll's nose.

"Eww, troll snot" Harry groans cleaning his wand with his robes. He walks over to his best friends and hugs Hermione gently then Alex and Ron, "you're ok now Alex" Harry whispers as she sobs. Hermione joins the hug and all three of them comforts her as Dumbledore, McGonagall, Quirrell and Snape runs in.

"Oh my god!" McGonagall gasps looking at the four 11 year olds and the big troll. Snape quickly rushes over as Alex looks up and reaches out to him. Snape pulls Alex into his arms and holds her to him.

"You're ok now sweetie" Snape whispers as Alex slowly calms down.

"Explain yourselves" Dumbledore tells them.

"Well, you see..." Harry, Ron and Hermione starts.

"They came after me sir" Alex tells Dumbledore looking at him as she wipes her eyes, "they came after me because I came here after a bad day. I had no idea about the troll and they came after me since they knew about it. So they were coming to get me before I got killed" Alex begins to tremble remembering how she froze in fear, "they saved me sir" Alex hides her face in Snape's chest as she tries to forget about it.

"I'm taking Alex to my apartment to sleep for tonight. Do not expect her to be in classes tomorrow" Snape tells Dumbledore, Quirrell and McGonagall. The adults' nods, allowing Alex and Snape to leave.

~D&A~

The next morning, Alex awakes gasping for breath. Alex sits up in the bed noticing that she isn't in her regular bed. Alex wipes her eyes from fallen tears. She gets out of bed and notices she is in her pajamas. She walks out of the room and sees a couch near the fireplace. She sits down and curls up in a ball.

10 minutes later, Alex is sleeping on the couch. She hears a door open and opens her eyes to see Snape walk in.

"Daddy" Alex whispers as she sits up. Snape smiles at Alex and pulls her into a hug.

"How are you doing?" Snape asks her gently.

"Ok. Scared but ok" Snape kisses her forehead and relaxes allowing her to curl up to him.

"Ron, Harry and Hermione want to see you" Snape tells Alex a half hour later.

"Ya. I know" Alex allows her eyes to close as Snape strokes her hair to keep her calm.

~A&D~

As lunch arrives, Alex walks out of the apartment in her clothes, not her pajamas. Her hair is brushed and is in a ponytail. Snape smiles at his daughter, knowing that she just needs him, Hermione, Ron and Harry for comfort. Alex and Snape walk into the great hall and Alex hugs Snape before going to Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Hey" Alex whispers sitting down next to Ron as Hermione and Harry are across from them. Ron hugs Alex quickly and keeps his right arm around her.

"I'm happy you are ok" Alex smiles weakly and rests her head on his shoulder.

"Me too. I'm glad you three are ok too" Ron grins and puts soup, toast, crackers and an apple on her plate. The four of them don't talk as they eat. The three Gryffindor's just watch the little girl eat her food, and let her just seek comfort from them.

And that's the chapter. What do you think? Please review.
