Alexs pov
Though I slept more than I usually did, last night, all of the lack of sleep for the past months seemed to finally be catching up with me.
I was on my way to school. I had one hand on the wheel and the other holding a mug with coffee and a whole lot of caffeine in it. Let's see if caffeine really does magic.
I easily found a space in the parking lot and I pulled in smoothly. I still had time so I turned of the car and leaned my head against the headrest, and closed my eyes.
Someone tapped on the window. The sound startled me and I tipped the mug over and some of the coffee fell on the passenger's seat.
I turned around to see who the culprit of this incident had been. I was met with a laughing Edward. As glad as I was to see him I still huffed in frustration as I pulled out my wand from my bag. I pointed it at the passenger's seat. I could feel Edwards eyed on me.
"Protego" I murmured and then the coffee on the seat disappeared. Quickly I put my wand back in my bag and got out. I turned around and saw Edward still looking at me. I drained the rest of the coffee and then put the mug inside the car. After I locked it I turned back to Edward who still hadn't said a word.
"You all right Edward?" I asked waving my hand in front of him.
"I've never seen you use magic now that I think about it." he said thoughtfully.
I put a hand on his shoulder and talked slowly. "Then I'm glad I was here to share this special moment with you" I said in mockingly.
He chuckled then took my hand that was on his shoulder into his own warm hand.
"Good morning" he said intently.
I gave him a sly smile and pulled out my hand from his.
"Morning" I said sounding a bit awkward. "So is there a reason for why you decided to give me a heart attack as a greeting?" I said to lighten the mood.
He smiled his amazing crooked smile. Putting behind us the awkward moment, "I didn't think you'd have such a reaction."
"Of course" I said. We began walking towards school.
"Where are your brothers?" I asked.
"Uhm somewhere around the school" he said shrugging.
"Ah" I said knowingly.
"Bad night?" he asked out of nowhere.
"What makes you think that?" I asked
"The coffee you just drained and those dark shadows under your eyes speak for themselves"
"I always have shadows under my eyes" I pointed out.
"Yeah but their darker" he responded. He was observant, maybe too observant for his own good.
"Okay so I had a bad night, no different from the other nights" I said as casually as I could manage.
"So you've had other ba-"
"Can we talk of something else?" I asked not wanting to explain the reason behind my sleepless nights. "So how was you're night?"
"Mine was…better than yours" I looked at him and he gave me a wicked smile.
"I'd wager it was" I said.
"I hope that coffee had lots of caffeine in it, I sense a long and boring and boring lesson for your first class" he said as we stopped right in front of my classroom.
"How boring?" I asked
"Too boring to put into words"
"Damn" I muttered. "Well then wish me lots of luck"
"I know you'll need it…good luck"
I rolled my eyes art him "thanks, see you later then" I said with a wave and then headed inside the classroom.
Caffeine is a myth!
I barely hung on to what the teacher was saying. Edward was right the lesson was boring beyond existence. Then by the second class I don't even remember seeing the teacher start the class. I only woke up because Mr. Smith woke me up and began telling me off about how the classroom was not my bedroom to sleep in. could have fooled me.
I now dragged my feet to lunch.
"You sure you won't fall asleep out of nowhere" asked a voice like velvet.
"Expect anything Edward" I said smiling.
He was next to me now "good to know that the caffeine is helping"
"Yeah right. I learned today that caffeine is a complete myth"
"And when did you figure that out? When you were accused of turning the classroom into your bedroom?" he said mockingly.
"No i realized that when i fell asleep and banged my head on the table" I said as we waited in the lunch line.
"You know I don't even know why I'm in line I'm not going to eat." I muttered and then I walked away towards my usual table. I sat down and rested my head on my arms.
A few minutes later I felt slight pressure on my arm.
"I know you're tired but it would make me feel much better if you ate something" Edward said.
Slowly I raised my head and looked at him through my half closed eyes. he gently pushed his tray against my arm again.
"What are you my mother?" I said as I took an apple from his tray.
"Why do you even buy food if you're not going to eat it?" I asked and took a bite out of the apple.
"We try to blend in as much as possible" he said looking at me.
"I'll give you a tip. If you want to blend in as much as possible try at least to eat something"
"We don't enjoy vomiting the food later on Alex" he said, his eyes full of amusement.
"Eew I wouldn't either" I looked at him. He seemed content; his eyes were a strange ocher color with that golden tone.
"Is it my turn today?" he asked, I looked at his face again. He was serious now. All of the amusement gone.
"I only have one request"
He gestured with a hand for me to continue
"No questions about me. No personal questions I guess…just questions about the world I live in"
He didn't like the bargain. He raised a perfectly sculptured eyebrow and looked at me thoughtfully.
"How about I ask you anything and you get to decide if it is too personal to answer. If you feel like it is then you dont have to answer"
Well that's the best I would get out of this bargain.
"Deal" I said taking another bite out of the apple.
He began to think…
"Alright" he said and he crossed his arms across his chest and leaned back.
"Do you remember the first time I talked to you?" he asked looking at me seriously.
Of course I remember, I'm a half vampire that can remember any insignificant detail about my life.
Then again he didn't know that.
"I remember" I said nodding
"Well why did you introduce yourself as melody potter?" he asked still staring at me intently.
"Because that my name" I said calmly.
"I'm not quite following" he said automatically leaning forward. His arms now resting on the table.
"My real name is Alexandra melody potter. Personally I have no idea why my parent's named me like that. I reckon they couldn't decide whether to name me melody or Alexandra so they just went for both"
He grinned. But then his expression turned questioning again. "Then why would you lie about your surname?"
How to answer that?
"Well…too personal" I finally said looking down.
i couldnt answer him that because answering that would bring more questions about my past. and that's the last thing i wanted to talk to him about.
I trust him but…it would be no use to tell him… I didn't just want to talk about it to anyone. I wanted to talk about it to someone that would truly understand what I am going through. Not someone that said that they understood. Truth is that the only way that one can truly understand someone else is if they have gone through something similar. If they have felt those similar feelings.
Edward wouldn't understand me, so I would rather not tell him.
"Alright" he said. His tone was kind like he wanted to make me feel better.
"Frankie isn't my brother either" I said still looking at the table. Feeling relieved that he hadn't made much of my hesitation.
"He isn't?" he asked, surprise coloring his tone.
"Nah that just something we made up when I came here" I explained "but I do have a brother"
Edwards pov
"Then why would you lie about your surname?" I asked perplexed.
She thought about that for a moment. Though I couldn't ear what her thoughts were I was able to decipher her expression. She was cautious, probably thinking carefully about her answer.
"Well…" she began, and then she bit her bottom lip. She was struggling. "Too personal" she said, and frowned at the table.
That was the last thing I wanted. To make her upset, behind the frown I could see the pain that my question had caused her. And I became mad with myself for my stupidity.
If I new her even one bit I knew that it would not be any better to tell her I was sorry if my question hurt her. She would want to pretend like it didn't happen, and that is exactly what I did.
"Alright" I said, instead of my previous serious tone it was now kind, wanting to make her felt better. Her frown softened a bit.
"Frankie isn't my brother either" she said quietly, never taking her eyes off the table.
That took me by surprise. "He isn't?"
How much did I truly know about Alex?
"Nah that's just something we made up when I came here" she said, and to my relief she seemed at ease again though she was still looking down at the table.
She then looked up, a slight smile lightening her features. "But I do have a brother" she said before I could ask anything else.
"he's with your parents?" I guessed, I kew her parents had supposedly died but maybe they had made that up too.
Another careless mistake. She frowned slightly. "no" she said. Though she was frowning it wasn't like the first frown. This one was more resigned, I think.
"my parents are dead" she clarified.
"I'm sorry" I said internally beating myself up.
"I was one year old when they died, so I don't really remember them" she said shrugging.
"My brother is in a witchcraft and wizardry school in England" she explained.
"England?" I asked
She smiled "that where I was born, it's where I grew up. And its were I came from months ago"
"You don't sound British" I commented
She laughed "yeah I never carried the accent, my brother, harry, teased me about that, saying I was a disgrace to British population" she had a faraway look in her face. Like she was remembering some distant memory. The thought made her smile, and it made me frustrated that I couldn't hear a thing coming from her head.
Harry? Could she possibly be talking about the same person that her 'brother' and that man –Sirius- had been talking about?
"There's a school of witchcraft and wizardry?" I asked, deeply engrossed into our conversation. I was aware that there were people staring but I wasn't paying attention to them or their minds and there was no chance that they could hear our converstaion.
"Yeah there are some schools" she said then she gave me a proud smile. "but if I may say so myself Hogwarts is by far the finest witchcraft and wizardry school" she said proudly. I grinned at her and she returned it with a beautiful crooked smile, breathtaking…. My thoughts weren't coherent at that moment….
"I am guessing Hogwarts is the name of your school?" I asked once I was able to make sense of my thoughts.
"Yes" she said
"So why did you leave the school?"
She thought for a while.
"Well… sometimes it good to take a break from it" she said
"Only to come to a different school?" I asked dubiously.
"Yeah"
I knew there was a reason behind her actions and I knew there was some story that she was keeping from me. A big part of her life. I knew she wouldn't tell me, she didn't trust me enough. I understood that but I would gain her trust. I won't push her into telling me, if she ever does tell me it will be because she decided to on her own, because she felt she was ready to tell me. I would wait for her.
Not wanting to make this uncomfortable for her, I stopped asking questions about her, and began asking more about her school. Though I ached to hear and learn more about this unusual beautiful creature sitting before me.
I had never heard her talk so much. And I loved it; I loved hearing her enthusiastic voice. It was so lovely that I had to keep focused on what she would say or else I would easily become distracted by her voice.
I didn't know if this love was a gift from Bella, or a gift from the devil himself to lead me to hell. But I knew that if this love was a gift from hell, I would defy death just to be with her to keep her safe. If the devil was planning on using her to kill me I knew I wouldn't fall into the trap.
I could see how he could be using her. Every moment she was close to me she was at risk. And if ever I was to hurt her I would most definitely seek death. But I would never hurt her.
She finished explaining everything about her school just in time.
"Well you had nice timing" I said smiling at her. It still seemed unreal to me, how happy she made me. It was hard not to smile, not that i even tried. I stood up.
"Time to go back to our jail cells"
"Fun" she muttered as she got up.
"You still tired?" I asked as we began walking.
"Nope" she said calmly.
"So if you left the school then you're not learning magic anymore?" I asked her as we walked to her class at a safe distance from each other. It wouldn't be wise to put myself in more temptation.
"I'm still learning. The headmaster –Dumbledore- didn't want me to stop my magical education specially this year. So Frankie my 'brother' is teaching me"
"What do you mean by 'specially this year'?" we were almost at her classroom now.
"For a fifth year this is an important year. We take our test called O.W.L's. that means ordinary wizarding level, I believe, and they are supposedly really important and play a big part in deciding what your going to do for a living when you graduate. Not to mention that you have to study like mad to pass them. Do you have any idea how many time I have stayed up for hours studying?" she asked.
"Wow must be tough" I said it was easy to see how seriously she took them. She was responsible, and cared about her future.
"You have no idea" she muttered
We stopped just outside her class, when I had a sudden question. There was still a little bit of time.
"One more question before I go" I said and she turned to me giving me her full attention.
"At what age do you start out at Hogwarts?" I asked
She gave me a quizzical look
"It's usually at eleven, why?"
"And you're in your fifth year?" I asked
Understanding seemed to fill her eyes and she gave me a mischievous grin
"Yeeeessss" she said putting her hands behind her bad. Looking an awful lot like a mischievous five year old.
"Then how old are you?" I asked curiously
"Fiteeennn" she grinned rocking on her heels. And then she turned and went into the classroom before I could make sense of what she had said.
I walked to my classroom thinking about that. I guess it made sense; she didn't exactly look seventeen she looked to be more around fourteen or fifteen. She was a fifteen year old in a junior class. Not only that but she was also studying magic and preparing for her tests. Did she ever have free time?
Maybe she is working too hard. I thought as I took my seat next to Emmett in trigonometry .
Busy mind? he asked and I grinned at him.
She's really interesting. Dude basically everything we knew about her was a lie. And we didn't know much to begin with.
I see his point I felt the exact same way. I couldn't believe it. And I knew there was more about her that would most definitely shock us. I was ready for all of that.
I like her, and she is hot! More power to you bro!
I rolled my eyes at Emmett and directed my attention to the teacher who had started the lesson. I didn't pay attention the class at all. My mind was in Alex's history class. Well more like on Alex. I was surprised to see that many of the students were widely alert to her. Most of them males, I didn't like that. And the females that did pay any kind of attention to her only did so fleetingly. It was frustrating to have to see her trough the male's ungentlemanly thoughts. To have to endure their crude fantasies about her, it was infuriating
"Hey Alex" said Jason mcClenny, as he approached her desk at the end of class. I quickly turned to his thoughts as I got up to pack my stuff. His thoughts didn't help my mood. He was going to ask her out…and his ideas for a date were the most repugnant thing I had ever heard. It made me want to rip him to shreds for even thinking it.
"What do you want Jason?" she asked, clearly annoyed.
"I was thinking, you and-"
"No" she said bluntly
"No what?"
She didn't answer and just slung her messenger bag over her shoulder. She walked out of the classroom. I was now heading in her direction.
You're not leaving so easily this time that poor excuse for a man thought. And then he did the unthinkable. As she headed out of the classroom he grabbed her upper arm and pulled her around to face him.
That set me off and I ran as at an infuriating human speed towards her. My thoughts filled with venom.
I saw as her eyes flashed dangerously at him.
"Get you hands off of me" she said, furiously.
"You're not leaving so easily" he said pulling her closer to him. I could see Alex now; she winced as he tightened his hand around her arm.
"Get your hands off of her" I said as I pulled him away from her and slammed him against the wall. I didn't slam him hard enough for my taste because he was still alive. "if I ever see you come near her again, I will personally make sure that you die the most painful death ever" I threatened him, I let go of his shirt and he slumped against the wall. An audience had already formed around us.
I turned towards Alex, she was shaking with rage and her eyes were coal black. I walked towards her.
"Are you alright?" I asked her
"Yeah I just wish he wasn't" she said signaling to the animal that was still on the floor, looking shocked.
"Me too" I muttered angrily. I lightly placed my arm around her shoulders and led her to the biology classroom. I held my breath as she lightly leaned into me.
"Are you sure you're alright?" I said worriedly. What if he hurt her badly?
"Yeah…fatigue is catching up with me." she grinned up at me and I took a sharp intake of breath. Feeling as my throat burst into flames. At the moment it didn't bother me though, I was just glad she was unharmed.
"Thanks" she muttered as we continued walking, as she clung to my side and I still had my arm around her frail shoulders. I loved the feeling of having her close to me. She was so warm…
"your welcome" I responded " I better not see that…thing any where near you ever again" I growled, enraged at just the mere thought of it.
"yeah it would be a shame if I cursed him. I really don't want to spend the rest of my life in Azkaban just for jinxing some stupid fool"
"Azkaban?" I asked
"The wizard's prison, worst place you could be in" she said and shuddered. I wasn't sure if it was because of what she said or if it was because she was cold because of me.
We entered the classroom and she pulled away from me to sit on her seat. I felt empty when she released me. And I ached for the warmth.
"So" I said in a low voice, once we took our seats "you're fifteen?"
"Yup" she said perfectly content.
"Isn't it hard for you? I mean you have so much work on your hands and eleventh grade must be hard for you"
"I get along just fine" she said. "But yeah I'm really busy due to all that work, still that's good. It keeps my mind out of things I rather not think about. So I can't complain"
"Wow. So you say that the O.W.L's play a big part on what you are going to do for a living in the future?"
"Yeah" she said as she looked at the teacher.
"So what do you want to do for a living?" I asked curious on what her plans were for the future. Because she had a future, unlike me.
"I want to become an auror, a dark wizard catcher"
"Really?" I asked intrigued by her choice. She was brave.
"Yeah, another reason for why I really do have to pass the tests with good marks"
I wasn't able to ask her more seeing as how the class had begun. She wanted to be an auror. She wanted to catch dark wizards. So could that possibly mean she liked danger?
Well if she didn't like danger she sure did attract a lot of danger.
alexs pov
it took everything i had to not curse this boy. edward seemed just as angry, yeah an angry edward wasnt pleasant at all. we turned around and he put his arm around my shoulders and we started to walk towards the biology class. i couldnt help but lean into him, he was so warm and i was becoming so tired.
my arm hurt, and i kew that i would get a very nasty bruise. when we got to the biology class i let go of him to sit down. i felt so cold whe i let go of him, it gave me goosebumps
we talked un til the class started and then we walked together to the parking lot.
"wow" he said
"what?" i asked
"theres so much i dont know about you" he said incredulously
"yeah theres lots" i said. he might as well not know me at all.
