Chapter 5

Last time:

"Music magic on those star lit nights
Making memories with that boy of mine"

Justin and Max join in the middle of the chorus.

"It burns a little oil grindin' into gear
Super glue holding up the rear view mirror
Wooah ooh oh it has a real good radio
Every now and then you'll hear a funny sound
And the windows won't roll all the way down
Wooah ooh oh it has a real good radio"

Alex sings by herself for the last two lines.

"Woahoahoah
It has a real good radio"

Alex gives everyone the peace sign with a smile on her face.

"Oh look, we are leaving." Hugh points at the door as the Gryffindor house begins to leave. Alex gives Ron and Harry a look, not knowing what to say, mostly since they haven't said one word to her... yet.

Now:

"Muggle Studies with Burbage, Care of Magical Creatures with Hagrid, Potions with Snape, Transfiguration with McGonagall, Charms with Flitwick, Defence Against the Dark Arts with Moody, Divination with Trelawney, and Herbology with Sprout." Alex looks at Justin, "What the hell are these classes?"

Justin shrugs his shoulders as everyone from Wiztech, which got put in Gryffindor, stares at their class schedule like they are written in a foreign language.

"What year are you in?" Hermione asks Alex, sitting on Alex's left.

"Year? It's 2012." Alex raises an eyebrow. Hermione shakes her head laughing.

"No. Are you year 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7?"

Alex's eyes grow wide raising her shoulders.

"Like I know."

"How about this. How old are you."

"13!" Alex gives Hermione a thumb up.

"Year 3." Hermione grins.

"I still don't get the year thing..."

"When you are 11, you are in year 1." Hermione begins to explain everything to Alex, and surprisingly, Alex listens to every word the older girl says.

~H&A~

Harry and Ron walks to their first class... Potions.

"So Hermione is taking that Alex girl to her first class?" Ron asks.

"Yes she is." Harry nods.

"You know, Hermione has been with that Alex girl since this morning. She only told us that she is taking Alex to and from classes all day, to show Alex where to go. Other than that, she hasn't been with us."

Harry rolls his eyes already knowing Ron is jealous. It's clear as day.

"Ron, get over yourself." Harry sighs as they walk into the Potions classroom.

~A&H~

Alex sits down in her Muggle Studies classroom with Hugh next to her.

"Alright class. Today we are going to continue where we left off before summer holidays." Their teacher; Professor Burbage announces, "Now, we are going to review the homework from summer. Who can tell me the different levels of the school system?"

Alex stares at Professor Burbage like she is nuts.

Hugh grabs Alex's left hand as raises it.

"Ahh, Ms. Russo. Go ahead." Burbage smiles, looking at Alex.

"Uhm, public school, high school, college and university." Alex answers, "And in some areas, like in the U.S, there are middle schools, but in Canada, there are no middle schools." Burbage nods.

"Correct Ms. Russo. Now how do you know this?"

"I go to mortal school." Burbage gives Alex a confused look.

"Mortal school?"

"Ya. You know non-magic."

"You mean muggles." Burbage states.

"No. At Wiztech we call them mortals."

Burbage smiles remembering that in England they call the non-magic people muggles, and in America, they call them mortals.

"So you go to a muggle school?"

"Yes I do. This year I will not be, because I am here. But I normally go to mortal school from September to June."

"I'm impressed. How do you balance muggle school, yet go to Wiztech?"

"On weekends I go to Wiztech, but from Monday to Friday I go to mortal school."

"That's amazing." Alex smiles.

"Thank you."

Burbage continues to ask questions to the class for reviewing the summer homework. Alex continues to answer every question that is asked.

I think I like this class. It's easy. Alex thinks with a smile on her face.

~H&A~

Finally the end of the day arrives and Alex and Zoey have joined up to go to the Great Hall together.

Alex discovered that Zoey is in her 6th year if you have to go by the Hogwarts school system.

"Would you like to meet the rest of the group?" Zoey asks Alex.

"Sure." Alex smiles. Zoey wraps her right arm around Alex's shoulders and leads them to Aphrodite, who is arguing with the twins... Shaunee Cole and Erin Bates. Stevie Rae Johnson, Damien Maslin, Jack Twist, James Stark and Erik Night are sitting there laughing.

"Hey guys." Zoey smiles breaking the argument.

"Hey Zo!" Stark smiles, getting up and kissing Zoey gently on the lips.

Stark wraps his right arm around Zoey's waist and smiles at the nervous looking Alex.

"Hey Alex."

"Hey... Stark right?" Alex questions.

"Yup. You nailed it." Alex nods.

"Oh ya. I'm good!"

"Guys, this is Alex Russo. Alex, this is Jack Twist." Zoey points at Jack. Jack waves with a smile on his face, "Aphrodite." Zoey points at Aphrodite. Alex looks at her, before biting her lip, "The twins. That's Erin." Zoey points at Erin, "And that's Shaunee." Shaunee smiles and waves at Alex, "And you already know Erik, Stevie Rae and Damien."

"It's nice to meet all of you." Alex says shyly.

Zoey hears the nervousness in Alex's voice and notices Aphrodite's glare. Zoey shoots a glare right back at her.

"If you like Alex, you can sit here with us." Stevie Rae offers.

"I'm... uhh..." Alex stares at Aphrodite and everyone notices Alex's uneasiness.

"Come sit over here." The twins say together, across the table. The twins spread apart and pat the spot between them.

"Are you sure?" Alex asks looking at them.

"Hellz ya." Alex feels a smile grow and walks around the table. She sits down in the spot the twins opened for her and they both each wrap an arm around her shoulders as Zoey and Stark sits down next to Damien and Jack.

And for dinner that night... Alex got to know each person from the House of Night. Even Aphrodite eased up on Alex.
