I sat in astronomy not paying attention. This was my last class. After this I was meeting up with James who was in Herbology, then he would walk me to Ravenclaw wait while I put my books away, then I would do the same for him, then we would go to dinner. I just hoped he could stay awake. I kept him up until early morning, until I fell asleep, he looked tired today. Just then Headmistress McGonagall came in.
"Can I see Alexia, please?"
I stood and followed her to her office. She sat down at the desk and I looked around at the pictures of old Headmasters and Headmistresses. I had been in this office many times mainly because of my perfect grades, flawless behavior, and the fact that I had no idea what I wanted to do in life.
"I received a very interesting letter today from Harry Potter" I cringed "You know what I'm talking about, I see. My guess is if he would have touched your sisters he would have felt the same pain." I nodded "Now, why is this? Come on show it to me."
I took a deep breath then took off my bracelet. She looked at my Dark Mark then took a step back.
"How is this possible?" she asked
"I don't know"
"How did you get it?"
"I was born with it, so where my sisters."
"Child, you may go, but I may need you at a moments notice."
"Yes Headmistress."
"By the way, I've been meaning to ask you this."
"Yes?"
"How are you and James Potter dating? You're a model student and he's a trouble maker."
"Well Ron and Hermione Wesley seem to have been perfect together."
"Very true you may go."
I met James outside of Herbology, he was trying to get Professor Longbottom to give him extra credit.
"Just because I'm friends with your parent's doesn't mean that I'm going to give you an A. If you want help go get Alexia. Who is standing right in front of us! Hello dear."
"Hello Professor."
"How is someone as bright as you with someone seems to only have brains for trouble?"
"I don't know but I'm doing my best to figure out."
"Well you too better be off to dinner, but did Headmistress talk to you?"
"Does everyone know?"
"I'm close to Harry, so I know."
James and I turned to the castle. James kept looking at me, his eyes questioning. But I refused to look at him.
I sat in the giant, pool-like, bathtub in the prefect's bathroom. I had a bathing suit on, James always seemed to show up, I made the mistake of showing him how to get in. I closed my eyes and heard the door open. I put my head underwater, and heard the splash of someone getting in. I opened my eyes underwater and saw James, smiling. I went above the water.
"Hello beautiful" he said
"Hi, James."
He kissed me. We played around in the water. Laughing, splashing, kissing, dancing, swimming.
"Hey, lets dry off I want to show you something." James said
"Okay." I said getting out of the tub.
We dried off using magic and threw our robes back on. I took his hand as he led me to the highest tower at Hogwarts. A picnic was set up.
"James, what's this for?"
"I just wanted to talk to you."
"Oh?"
"Sit"
We sat and he looked rather nervous. I touched my bracelet, it was as if I could feel the Dark Mark under it.
"Lex, I wanted to tell you something."
"James, your not breaking up with me are you?"
"No, god no!" he said "But I just wanted to tell you that no matter what I'm always on your side, I'll always believe in you. I love you, Alexia."
I looked at him and smiled it was the first time he said he loved me. I'd known for a while I loved him, but I was too scared to tell him. I took his hand and looked at him.
"I love you too, James."
"You have no clue how long I've wanted to tell you that."
"Well, I'm glad you did."
He kissed me, we sat up there for a while just kissing. We only broke apart when we heard footsteps. Headmistress McGonagall came up the stairs.
"Alexia, I've been looking everywhere for you." she said "Pack a few things, we're taking a trip tomorrow. Meet me in my office tomorrow morning before breakfast."
"Okay then Headmistress." I said looking at her then James. She turned her heel and left.
"What do you think your going to do?" James asked looking at me.
"No clue, but I have a feeling we are going to visit the Ministry of Magic." I said biting my lip.
