Alex laughed as they practised their spells in their secret DA meeting. They were working on patronus charms and most people were succeeding.

Alex thought of meeting Harry, Ron and Hermione and she spoke really clearly – "Expecto Patronum!"
The silver wolf burst out of Alex's American wand and soared around the room, joining in with Ron's patronus knocking people over.

Though, as almost as soon as it had started the lesson was over. Harry told everyone that there wouldn't be another meeting until after the Christmas holidays.

Alex watched as everyone in the DA left and she spotted Hermione, Ron and Harry who seemed in deep conversation about something that looked really important. She walked over and sat next to Hermione.

"Hey Guys!" They turned their heads towards Alex and smiled. "What's up?"
Hermione and Ron shared a cautious look at Harry and Hermione and Ron stood up.

"Meet you guys back at the common room?" Hermione and Ron nodded leaving Alex and Harry alone. Alex sat down facing Harry on the cushions on the floor.

"So, what's up?" Alex asked twirling her hair round her finger. Harry sighed and leaned against the wall not sure how to approach the subject he was about to bring up.

"Em… Well, ever had something that you feel you need to know and you feel it's important for you to know but you don't understand it at all yourself?" Alex nodded, her heart-beat inclining higher into her throat having a very faint idea on what he was going to say next.

"Well, you see the other night, you fell asleep, so I decided to take you up to your dorm and see the wristband you wear?" He held her wrist and she inched forward slightly so it was comfier for her wrist. He placed his hand on top of her wristband.

"Em... So I kinda noticed a red mark around it so I... Em… slipped it down to see what was up and by this time I had reached the dorm and Hermione had just opened the door and well… um… I kinda saw…" He ran his spare hand through his hair and slipped Alex's wristband off her arm to reveal the lightning bolt scar underneath. He ran his finger over it making Alex's scar tingle.
"It's just a scar Harry, I was quite a clumsy kid, I probably fell over or something -" Harry interrupted Alex by lifting his hair which was covering his scar.

"Okay, they look alike a bit but -" Harry cut her off again.
"No Alex. Not a bit, they are EXACTLY the same. See." He lifted her wrist to beside his head and Alex stared at the matching scars.
Harry lowered her wrist back down and looked her into the eyes. She stared down at her wrist.
Harry stood up and pulled Alex up with him.
Some music came on at random and Alex lifted her head to look at Harry. Alex laughed, she knew this song.

"May I have this dance?" Harry grinned at her when she nodded.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

Alex laughed as Harry spun her around.

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Harry was grinning as he and Alex pretended to waltz around the room of requirement.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

Everything that had happened in the last twenty minutes sunk onto Alex and she leaned her head on Harry's shoulder as they slowly danced.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Harry thought of how natural it felt to dance with Alex, and the way her head fit perfectly onto his shoulder.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

As the song finished Alex pulled away from Harry. She had noticed the mirror a few feet away.

She walked over to it and saw a wizard photo of a boy maybe in his seventh year or even sixth.

Harry walked over and stood next to her.

"Cedric Diggory. He and I both got entered into a tournament last year. He was from Hufflepuff. I didn't know him very well but he was an excellent boy. Sad really." Harry said and Alex turned to look at him.

"Did he go missing?" Alex asked wondering why Harry was speaking in past tense.
Harry shook his head.

"In the last task, the cup was a port key. You know that yeah? Right. Well so it took us to a graveyard and he was murdered by Voldemort."

Alex stood shocked.
"Was Voldemort the bald guy in my dream?"
Harry nodded. "I haven't been exactly truthful with you about that. I had the same dream at the same time."

Alex hugged Harry randomly for comfort. As she pulled away a bunch of mistletoe formed above them.

"Mistletoe." She said looking at Harry.

"Probably full of Nargles though."

"What are Nargles?" Alex inches forward slightly as did Harry, their faces nearly touching.

"I have no idea."

As their lips locked Alex felt sparks through her lips.
She realised that she never had been in love.

Her 'love' for Dean was fake.
Her 'love' for Mason was fake.

But one thing she felt more positive that her own name was that this was real.

Alex Russo, the american wizard who defeated the angels of darkness.

Had fallen for,

None over than the boy who lived and defeated Voldemort when he was a baby himself,

Harry James Potter.
