Hermione lost the chess match unfortunately, Ron was overly smug about it as well. Harry saw a glint in Hermione eye that made him scared for Ron. Hermione was over sweet saying good night, it made Harry nervous.
"You know Ron, She'll likely read every chess book she can get her hands on now." Stated Harry, as the boys headed up to their own dorm.
"You can't learn everything from a book" said Ron.
Harry just shrugged at that, and there was a scoffed in the back of his head he assumed was Alex. He reach for the handle of the dorm room, turning it. There was a sound like a mad scramble. When Harry fully open the door nothing looked off, and just got ready for bed. Ron was in his ill-fitting Pjs and asleep within 5 mins. While Harry was tried he could not relax. Harry Looked around the room, past the loud snoring Ron to see that Neville wasn't in yet, but Dean and Seamus where. It seem he wasn't the only one unable to sleep, given they were plainly faking sleep. He shook his head and curled up in bed and tried to sleep. An hour-ish later, he wasn't watching the time, he heard Neville come in. Sometime after he fell finally asleep.
In the morning, he woke up, Happy that he didn't that those dreams again. Harry noted that it was 5am, too early to really do anything. So Harry decided to go into a half asleep, where you're asleep but not really asleep, in hope he could talk to Alex, and it worked.
"Good Morning Harry" said Alex. The blackness faded to the dream like state, kind of like a nicer looking Black manor Library and there she was sitting on the sofa, reading a book.
"Morning Alex" said Harry "I didn't know if that would work, but I'm glad it did"
Alex chuckled "Well I do have a niche in your head Harry, I simply helped you get here. So what's on your mind?"
"Can't you read my mind?" asked Harry Confused
"Not really. I can hear your loud thoughts or surface thoughts. But I never dug deeper than that. By the way, I think Dean and Seamus are gay. You notice things but don't make the connections. It quite funny for me to watch that. As for Ron comment last night, while yes you can't learn everything from books. You can still learn a lot from them, that includes chess. These things I am aware. But whatever bothering you, you'll have to tell me. While yes, I could just dig around your head. It won't make you feel better, talking about it will." Explained Alex, while she never looked up from her book
Harry sat down next to Alex, only when she looked up from her book did he speak "You said something yesterday about the dream, I met you in. you said Toms thoughts. You mean Voldemort don't you?"
"Yes Harry that whom I was talking about. You have a mind link with him. Though your scar, nothing you can do about it thou for a moment. Try not to freak out about it. Which means you're going to freak out about it aren't you Harry." Stated Alex. Harry Nodded "take a Deep Breathe Harry" Alex Put her book down and rest her hand on his shoulder "Just take a Deep breathes."
