Alex's pov
I was back at school on Wednesday and everything went as if none of the incidents from Monday ha ever happened neither Emmett or Edward or any of the Cullen's talked to me and didn't try to talk to them I had already said my thanks.
I felt slightly better but I wasn't in the mood for muggle interaction. I wouldn't talk to anyone and I ate alone. No one bothered me.
There wasn't much going on at forks the next few months. I can't say the same for Hogwarts. I couldn't talk much to harry about things from the order or about voldemort through a letter. We had reason to believe umbridge was intercepting harry's mail to read it. We suspected this because Hedwig had been attacked once. So they began to fill me in on everything when I went for my evaluations. I had to go more often now to get prepared for my O.W.L's, so I began to go two weekends a moth and missed two Fridays of school a month, so I left for Hogwarts for three days.
Harry and I had agreed to the defense against the dark arts lessons. I would help out whenever I could.
When we went to hogsmeade to talk with the group of students that were interested I ended up breaking down when cedric was mentioned by one of the students and harry, Ron, Fred, and George told off the idiot that talked about him.
dobby (one of the house elf's from Hogwarts) had found the great place to practice. It was called the room of requirement and it was absolutely perfect and impossible for us to be caught. Someone, however, had informed umbridge what we planned to do, so with the power of the almighty high inquisitor, the thing banned all student clubs, organizations, meetings, etc. and whoever didn't obey would be expelled.
We also found out –the hard way- that umbridge was keeping check of all the Hogwarts fires. She almost caught Sirius while he talked to harry through the fire.
Hagrid had come back he told us that he went to go meet the giants and try to convince them to be on our side , however it seemed like the death eaters had gotten to them first. Now Hagrid was severely bruised and it made him look quite scary in my opinion.
Then professor Trelawney had been put on probation by umbridge and from what I saw and heard while I was there she was not taking it well. She came up with even more gruesome predictions on how I would die along with harry. You could almost say she hated us, well it seemed like it. But Trelawney being put on probation made us afraid that Hagrid would be the next. That thing hates half breeds and no doubt she would try to get him kicked out.
I also attended to the first quidditch game of the year which was with Gryffindor against Slytherin. Poor Ron it didn't go well for him but I think that was just because of the nerves. Gryffindor won it was a good game and I got to give up to my brother, harry was an excellent seeker. I had gone down to the field to meet up with the team and congratulate them instead I ended up in detention for the rest of the year. Malfoy was talking shit about my mother when I went down and that set off my temper. I hexed him and then gave him a black eye. Harry and George contributed in the jinxing though. And they got pulled out of the team along with Fred and I was put on detention once a month with umbridge. Now the words on the back of my hand would never fade.
There was also something that had been bothering me. Every time I would go to sleep I would be disturbed with dreams of me being in a long hall and there was a door at the very end of hat hall, every time I was near enough to open it the dream would change and I was back in my nightmares of cedric shortly followed with my waking up screaming.
My scar continually bothered me too.
It was now Monday on the last week before winter break. I had come back form Hogwarts the day before, and I wasn't all too good.
"Morning Frankie" I said as I say him coming out of his own room
He took one look at me "maybe not so good" he said suggestively. i shrugged my thin shoulders indifferently. I was exhausted but I had not been able to bring myself to sleep last night I looked like a walking corpse.
"Do you want to go to school?" he said, did I look bad enough to not look good enough to go to school? Am I even making sense anymore?
"No I'll be fine"
"Come on" he said and he bent his knees so I could clib onto his back. I lightly put my arms around his neck and he made sure my legs were securely wrapped around his waist. Then he walked us down the stairs to the kitchen.
Once in the kitchen I slid of his back onto my feet and got some cereal then sat down.
I was silent as Frankie ate while I played with my cereal.
"Do you want to talk about it?" he began
"You have no idea what it feels like having to go back to Hogwarts every month" I whispered I could barely talk
"No I don't" he paused "but I can see what it does to you"
I ducked my head
"Nothing goes unnoticed by you huh?" I muttered
He gave a low chuckle
"Not much. Its easy to see how bad it is for you, every time you come back you look worse than when you left"
I looked at the clock on the wall.
"We have to go" I announced not meeting his eyes
We both got up
"you might want to do something about you eyes"
"Huh?"
"They are violet"
"Oh right… thanks"
We walked together to the living room
"I might be a little late home" he informed me as I looked for my keys
"Right"
"Will, you be all right?"
"I won't burn down the house if that is what you're worried about"
He laughed
"Alex?"
"Huh?" I turned to look at him. Not knowing where had put my keys this time. Last time they were in the fridge.
He took my keys from the coffee table.
"Here are your keys" he tossed them to me and I catched them
"Thanks" I muttered
"I'll see you later then"
"Bye"
I got my bag and was closing the door just as a green light filled the room.
I arrived school and had a hard time finding a space. It was odd, it was full but there was still ten minutes left before school started.
I finally found a spot and in next to Edwards Audi.
I left the music on. One of my pieces was next and I began to think on the lyrics for that piece. I sang them out hoping I would forget the headache that was killing me.
(Song originally by savage garden title I don't know you anymore)
I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called
But someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your porch relax
Talk about anything it don't matter
I'll be courageous if you can pretend that you've forgiven me
Cause a don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed
And so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
Springtime in the city
Always such relief from the winter breeze
The snow is more lonely than cold if you know what I mean
Everyone's got an agenda
Don't stop keep that chin up you'll be alright
Can you believe what a year it's been
Are you still the same?
Has your pinion changed?
Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
I know I let you down again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I've paid the price I'm still paying for it everyday
So maybe I shouldn't have called
Was it too soon to tell what the hell it doesn't really matter?
How do redefine something that never really had a name
Has your opinion changed?
Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
I see your face
I see your face
The song drifted to its end and I put my fingertips to my temples. My headache seemed to only get bigger.
It wouldn't go away. I put my head back against the headrest and pinched the bridge of my nose with my fingertips while looking at the ceiling.
After some time I looked at the clock in the dashboard. Class started in five minutes. I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. I looked to my left and saw Edward in his car staring straight ahead into the woods.
He turned to look at me as if I had called him, but there was no expression in his eyes and his face gave nothing away.
I got out of my car and headed for the school
I was vaguely aware of him following me...
I went to my classes as usual. But the damn headache never left me.
I didn't bother with the lunch line that day. What for? I wasn't going to eat anything anyway. I sat alone I wasn't in the mood for interactions with anyone. But apparently Jason wasn't having that. U was writing down rubbish in my notebook and I heard someone take a seat across from me.i looke up to see him grinning at me.
"Can I help you?" I said my voice expressing my monotony
"Yes you can" he said. I looked at him waiting for him to talk. He didn't
"Go on?"
"Are you busy Saturday night?" no good mother fucker (pardon the language)
"Yes I will be and I will be busy every weekend as far as I'm concerned"
"Oh well then I was wondering if maybe tomorrow night-"
"No"
"But you don't know what I was-"
"You don't have to tell me I know what you are going to say and answer is no so run along now"
"Why won't you go out with anybody?" he said frustrated
Somewhere deep inside of me I was writhing in pain more than usual, I was just too numb now to acknowledge it, still it was there.
"It's none of your business why I don't date Jason so leave before I get mad"
"Why did you get dumped by your last boyfriend? Is that why you are so miserable?"
"Fuck off" I muttered my voice cracking at the end
"Just tell me why?"
"My last relationship did not end well you jackass" I pushed my notebook towards his lunch tray and it his lunch fell on his lap. The pizza and milk staining his pants.
"Fuck Alex" he said as I put my notebook in my bag. I looked up and straight ahead as I got up and I saw Edward looking at me. His eyes seemed like they were trying to solve a mystery they looked deep in thought. I turned on my heel and headed out of the cafeteria.
I spent the rest of the lunch period looking over my happier memories, the ones with cedric in them. I didn't care about the hell I would pay for later on I was so used to the pain I never enjoyed it but I learned to pretend to be its friend. And in any case I deserved the pain. I was paying for being alive while he was not and that was the one reason that made me explore those memories again.
Cedric and I were at the very edge of hogsmeade sitting on a huge rock.
"You know what I like about you?" he said as we watched the snow fall
"No…is there anything to like about me?" I said doubtfully and he laughed
"Of course there is" he said
"What do you like about me then?"
"You are reckless" I looked at him with a confused look "it's like you like to get in trouble and you are such a free soul"
"Yeah well you learn to befriend trouble after sometime besides what life without the trouble"
"You are weird"
"And yet here you sit with me talking to me" I pushed him of the rock and he fell on his back to the cold snow
"Did I mention you were brutal?"
"Oh but I knew that" I said kneeling next to him he stayed on the snow
"You know what I like about you?" I said
"What"
"…everything…" he sat up and looked into my eyes. I looked into his gray eyes in turn.
"You look so innocent" he said and he leaned into me and I was nervous. Unintentionally I leaned back quickly and fell onto the snow he fell on top of me. He laughed
"You definitely are innocent"
"Only sometimes" I said playfully
He stroked my cheek, they were pink with the cold and so was my nose. I closed my eyes at his touch and then I felt something soft and ice\y grazing my lips. This was all new to me I didn't know what to do but the feeling inside of me was the most wonderful feeling inside of me that it guided me. I pressed my lips to his and he slowly opened his mouth and I followed. He held all his weight on his arms and I pit my hands on his face pulling it closer to me then I felt his tongue slowly and hesitantly slip into my mouth I felt the tip of it touch my tongue, it was pure bliss, I was gone and I didn't know were I went when why or how. The feeling of our tongues against each others was indescribable because it was the kind of feeling that makes you hurt on the stomach but not in the bad type of way. He smiled against me and slowly pulled his mouth away and kissed my lips a few more times.
"I think I love you" I whispered in his ear and he chuckled
"I know I love you" he whispered back and he rolled of me onto his side.
We sat there looking at each other for a long time touching each others faces and memorizing them. We didn't have to talk about it to know that we would be spending the rest of our lives together.
"I'm so stupid" I murmured against his fingers that were on my lips
"Why?"
"For bonding with the enemy" he laughed. But it sounded nervous. I had just reminded us both that the first ask was coming this Monday in two days
"Then lets be stupid together"
"I like the sound of that"
"But come on, your brother will kill me if I get you back sick"
"I'm sick with love" I said. Let's see what he ha to say to that
"You're so cheesy"
"Only on Saturdays" he chuckled.
"I like your hair" i added,he looked at me confused
"I like its color" it was a light brown and it was disheveled
"I forgot to mention you were also random"
"You get used to it after a while"
He looked at me
"Never did I once think I would fall for you. You are so full of surprises I must be under your spell"
"Vice versa"
He laughed and pressed his lips to mine once more…
Why do the good things always come to an end?
Like right now I was having a good time and now its time to get back to class.
I headed to history and was lost in my hell again ten times worse now. I wasn't kidding when I said I would have hell to pay.
Biology wasn't any better I hardly paid attention to anything the only thing tht really alerted me was the bell. I quickly gathered my things desperate to drown myself in more memories.
"What are you?" said someone next to me I turned and saw Edward looking at me from his seat.
"But you see I could ask you the same thing and you wouldn't answer me either would you?" I muttered in a low voice
He grimaced but didn't answer
"That's what I thought" I said and with that I walked out of the classroom.
"Any news?" I asked Frankie as I helped him make dinner.
"no not really" he answered "how was school?"
I looked at him "well what can I say school was school"
He laughed "I understand what you mean"
"yeah you better"
That night I actually ate something just to put on a show for Frankie. I might as well try and make someone happy why make the both of us miserable?
I was sliding on the floor under the cool smooth floor turning her and there in the hallway. Tasting the air with my tongue when I smelled a man I could see him. He was fast asleep. There was someone at my side too, it was harry except he wasn't really there. He was like an illusion, of no importance. The man began to stir. Ui rose of the floor and attacked before he was fully awake. I sunk my fangs deep into him one twice and again for the third time….Mr. weasley?
I woke up turning and screaming. I rolled over and my face connected with the floor, I heard a nasty crunch that in any other case would have worried me.
"Frank-"I gasped taking in large gulps of air and then screamed as loud as I could "FRANKIE!"
It only took him seconds to come barging into the room. He found me in a corner of the room shaking and sweating my stomach lurching.
"What's going on Alex" he said shaking me I looked at him
"You have to help him- he's dying he's in trouble help him-"
"Help who Alex?" his voice was urgent
"Mr. Weasley" I whispered. It took him a few seconds for him to react.
"Why what happened"
"IT'S NOT THE TIME TO AKS ME HE IS DYING RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE TO HELP HIM!" then it was too much I turned away and puked out all of the contents in my stomach. I had to choose this day to please some one and eat
Frankie held my hair while I threw up. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and sat up again. I was panting and shaking I was panicked. Did I attack him?
"I need you to tell me what you saw to be able to help him" Frankie said his voice full of urgency.
"I was dreaming of something and then the dream changed and I saw Mr. Weasley I think he was guarding something and then a giant snake attacked him and there was blood everywhere and…and…" there wasn't anything else left to say
He didn't say anything he just took his wand and then a silver eagle shot out of his wand the eagle turned to us and Frankie spoke
"Tell Dumbledore that Alex just had a dream-"
"It wasn't a dream" I started but he hushed me
"Arthur weasley is in trouble" he continued the eagle nodded its head and then took off.
"Hurry" I whispered Frankie looked at me and he took hi wand once more
"let me fix your nose it looks broken" he pointed it at me I closed my eues
"Episkey" I heard him mutter. My nose felt very hot and then it felt very close. I touched it and it seemed to be fixed.
He then proceeded to cleaning up my face from the blood that had been running down my nose. Once he had cleaned of the mess I did on the floor he carried me downstairs were we silently waited to hear from Dumbledore.
Then a silver phoenix came into the room stopping right before us it opened its mouth and spoke in Dumbledore's calm voice
"Send her to grimmauld place" it said and then it vanished
"Guess that means your having an early start on your winter break" he said getting up.
