Author's Note: So, I've officially run out of lyrics from the title song. So instead of being smart and changing the song, I've bend stupid and changed the names of all the chapters. I think I've got them all fixed. If I missed any, I'll fix it later. ANYWAYS. Another Alex chapter, developing Harry/Alex some more. Plus, I wanted to correspond with what I've done in the sequel so far (almost done with chapter two, guys! At this rate, it'll be five chapters in when this is finished.) so I'm making it Alex's birthday! I don't really know when her birthday is because they never really say and I've looked just about everywhere. Also, this story is obviously so AR (that's alternate reality folks, there's a difference!) that it might kill people, so the Wizards Movie won't take place in this story line until somewhere between the second to last chapter, and the last chapter. I don't know, I'm still working out the time line. Anyways, it's 1:20 here so I'm off to go dream about David Henrie! See you in chapter 11~
Disclaimer: I obviously don't own this otherwise you'd see it on TV.

::Alex's PoV::
I don't think I was ever so excited about a birthday ever. I was turning sixteen today, and I couldn't wait for all the special treatment I would get. But when I woke up, no one was there to greet me with happy smiles and breakfast in bed. Instead, I was forced to go about my day, wondering if even my brother's had forgotten, which they apparently did. Well, Max floated me a cupcake with a sparkler on it and Justin bothered to sit between me and Draco at breakfast. Those two were certainly getting cozy, which I really didn't mind. I was very disappointed in my parents however. I got absolutely nothing from them. Not even a card.
The day went on, and about half way I had decided to make myself a tiara that said 'Birthday Girl'. Well, it worked for a little bit until Snape told me it was a distraction to the class and popped it off my head. I was absolutely frustrated by the time dinner came around that I didn't even go. Instead I headed back to the common room for a very unpleasant night full of pouting and revenge-plotting.
"SURPRISE!!!" When the whole common room lit up and half of Slytherin and whatever houses Justin and Max were in yelled at me, I almost ran back up the stairs. Everyone was there- my friends from Slytherin, a few of Max's friends, and all six of Justin's friends plus Draco. I about died when I saw them all.
"Oh my gosh, Justin you didn't!" He smiled and stepped forward to get a flying hug from me. He swung me around and laughed, but was not smiling when he put me down.
"It actually wasn't my idea. It was Harry's." Harry was kind of sheepishly standing in the back, and I couldn't help but to run and hug him too.
"Thank you so much, Harry! Oh my gosh, I thought everyone had forgotten!" I laughed and went to go hug everyone else who was just hanging around. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's party!" Someone waved a wand and music started playing. There was food and drinks. Everyone was having a good time. I even caught a peek of Draco and Justin looking very happy. Draco had very carefully put his good hand on my brother's hip and Justin had a couple fingers in the pocket of Draco's jeans. It was so cute, I was almost jealous. Just as I was watching them pick out food for each other, Harry came up behind me and put a hand on my back just above my waist.
"Can I borrow you for a moment, party girl?" I looked up at him, a small smile hinting at my mouth. I couldn't help but nod, wondering in silence what he wanted me for. We found that the fireplace was oddly unoccupied for now. With a wave of my hand, I let the flames roar upwards and sat down on the carpet laid out in front. "Are you enjoying yourself?" Harry asked me, still standing for a moment while he fished in his pockets. I really hoped he hadn't gotten me a present. I'd feel super bad about- wait a second, no I wouldn't.
"I am. This party was an amazing idea. Hey, did you see my brother and Draco? So cute, right?" I smiled, looking back at them as they talked with smiles on their faces. Justin wasn't nervous, biting his fingernails or anything. He was relaxed, and I was avoiding the obvious event about to occur.
"Yeah, I'm happy that Malfoy's not being a total prick. Then again, some things never change." The second part was added as an afterthought as Draco said something to Ron Weasely and just about got punched in the face. I held back my laughter and looked back at the fire. Harry was sitting down next to me, holding a box wrapped in red paper. What could I expect from a Gryffindor? "I know I said that I wasn't interested in making connections because of what inevitably is going to happen to me, but I did have an ulterior motive in doing this party for you."
"I knew it was something like that. You didn't have to get me anything, Harry. This party was enough, especially since I thought everyone had forgotten." I smiled, patting him on the shoulder. He looked at me, and I noticed that his eyes were an even brighter green than my brother's and they sparkled in the fire. I could have lost myself in those eyes if I hadn't looked away right then.
"Well, I asked your brother what you'd like, so I dipped into my reserve and got you something. It's just that… I am interested in getting to know you more." He held out the box, and I hesitated from taking it. I looked over at my brother, who was looking at me and smiling. I smiled and took the box from Harry. It was almost sloppily wrapped, and I had the feeling he'd tried wrapping himself without using magic. I opened it, and lifted the lid. Inside were the most beautiful silver hoop earrings; I felt tears stinging at my eyes.
"You really didn't-" I looked at him, but he was looking away. "Harry, they're beautiful. Thank you so much." He nodded, still not looking at me. I took them out of the box and put them on with a smile. "What do you think?" I asked, and he finally looked at me.
"They look brilliant." I leaned forward to hug him. I wasn't sure how, but we ended up kissing. It was soft and quick because he pulled away after about two seconds. "S-sorry." I shook my head and kissed his cheek.
"It's fine. Accidents happen right?" God, I hoped it wasn't an accident. Apparently he thought the same thing because all I got was a nod as he looked away. I looked back at the fire and bit my lip. I wasn't really crushing on him, was I? I had just gotten over Dean. "Hey, let's get something to eat. I'm starving." I said, standing up and holding out my hand to him. When he took it, I had no intention of letting go. We headed back to the party, smiling and laughing with everyone else. I got compliments on my new earrings, and I adored the attention until Justin pulled me aside.
"Alex." I looked at my brother, wondering what gave him the nerve to pull me away. "He did a good job with the earrings, right?" I nodded, looking over at Harry who was laughing with Ron and being his normal self. "Did he ask you out yet?"
"What? No. We're friends." I lied. I thought after all these years that I could still lie and get away with it, but Justin was suddenly not fooled.
"Yeah, and that kiss over there was absolutely friendly." I wrinkled my nose and pushed him. He laughed at me and rustled my hair. "Alex, you totally like him."
"I so do not." Another lie and Justin crossed his arms. "Okay, maybe a little. What are you, psychic?"
"No, but you're my sister. I know things." He looked over at Harry, and then at Draco who waved at us. "I could totally get used to this world, Alex. We wouldn't have to give up our magic if we stayed."
"We can't stay here. What about Mom and Dad? And do you really want to leave Harper and Zeke alone?" Justin sighed and shook his head. "But you're right. And you know how I hate admitting you're right." I laughed with Justin a little until Max came over. "Hey, Max."
"Guys, I'm going to head back. It's getting late and I think I ate too much." I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost midnight. Crap.
"Right. We need to clear out before a teacher comes and kills the buzz." I nodded and stood up on a chair. "Hey everyone!" The whole party looked at me. "Thank you so much for coming, all of you! It's been an amazing party and I'm so lucky to have you all here. But, it's almost midnight and it won't be my birthday anymore. As much as I love you all, get the heck out!" The crowd laughed and started cleaning up while I jumped down. I don't think I've ever hugged so many people as they all left. Harry was the last to leave.
"I'm so glad you had fun." I hugged him and he kissed my cheek. "I'll see you for breakfast in the morning?" I nodded and smiled.
"'Night, Harry. Make sure my brother makes it back to his room, 'kay?" I said, looking over his shoulder at my brother and Draco who were sitting on a couch talking. He laughed and touched my elbow softly before going to get my brother. I waited until they left and Draco went to his room before I headed up to my own with a smile. This had to have been the best birthday ever.
Another chapter down! Please remember to review! I love you guys!
