Chapter 13
We reached the rock Rose was sitting on and slightly splashed water on it since James was still chasing me; this time he only put his arm on my waist when we reached the rock, no more throwing thank Merlin. Rose looked at us from over the top of her book wondering what we were doing and why we were here. She raised her eyebrows a bit as she watched James and I laugh and catch our breaths, and then she ducked back down in her book.
I looked up to see her attention was once again refocused, "Oh no you don't! I get to play with your hair remember!" I said bracing my hands on the bolder and hearing Rose give a protestant groan. "James give me a boost please." I said turning my head to look at his and he nodded smiling still, the buffoon. He placed on hand on the back of my thigh and I felt the other one graze my shin, ready to grab my foot.
I bounced three times before springing up; James grabbed my foot once my thigh got high enough and continued to push me up. I was able to step up with my other foot onto the bolder, "Thanks, James." I said looking back and giving him a wink.
He just smiled and braced his hands against the rock and began to bounce like I did. But then he pushed off the rock yelling as though it burned him but instead he was saying, "Agh! What the --! GET IT OFF!!" He was swatting at his leg fiercely trying to get something off. After a few seconds he laid back in the water catching his breath, 'I guess it let go..whatever it was.'
Rose and I just watched with wide eyes as James freaked out, then we saw a little snake head pop out of the water; well at least it looked like a snake… "Maybe now you will mind your step, you blubbering wizard. It would do well for you not to go stepping on creatures' homes, step on the wrong one and it could be your last. I would not kill you but I'm sure I could bite something off…" the little eel said in a deceivingly gruff, deep voice.
"You Better Not Bite Anything Off!! And how was I supposed to know your house was down there! There's no sign, doormat, or even a light! So don't get pissed at me it was an accident!!" James shouted back at the little eel.
"He's quite right Mr. Eel. James had no way of knowing he was about to step on your house, and he is very sorry he did so," Rose explained as James mumbled, "Yeah right, not any more…grumpy ass eel…" Rose gave him a stern look, "Please forgive him, and surely it won't happen again." Rose finished.
The eel seemed to regard what Rose said looking from her back to James. "Very well young witch, I shall let this rude interruption go. But you'll do well to feel before you step young man." The eel said nodding his head before sliding back below the surface.
"Well…. That wouldn't have been my first guess if someone asked me what was living in the lake…" I said looking at the spot where the eel disappeared. "Bloody eel almost scared me out of my shorts!! I should have turned him into Sushi." James said glaring at the spot where the evil mud eel disappeared. He waded closer to the bolder but approached from the other side of Rose so as to not stir up the eel again.
He once again braced his hands on the bolder and in one push launched himself up on the bolder and continued to walk his body up the rock with his arms. "Bloody eel…sushi…" James mumbled as he settled down on the other side of Rose. "Oh, quite you're grumbling at least you're still…intact…" Rose said diving back into her book. "Yes, thank talking eels for small favors…" I said shifting to sit behind Rose; I felt a light blush glow on my cheeks. Nowhere near as red as James has become though…hehe.
I studied Rose's hair a bit before tugging out her hair tie. "Ouch! What are you doing?" she said turning and glaring at me. I gave her a 'what' look, "I said I was going to play with your hair… Not quite you're grumbling and turn around." She obeyed and I ran my fingers through her hair undoing the knots and tangles.
I played with her hair for close to half an hour. I got to be shiny and smooth, bringing out the natural waves in her hair. My hair; along with James's, had dried a bit from sitting out in the sun.
"Okay, now look at that and tell me I'm incredible." I said smirking and conjuring two mirrors for her to see her hair from different angles. Rose took the mirror from me and began to examine her hair; I saw a smile grow on her face. "Wow that looks great Alexis!" Rose said enthusiastically, while thinking to herself, 'Now only if I could get the rest of me to look as good as my hair.'
"See, I told you. Now let's go check out the party." I said with a sly grin growing on my face. "What… oh, I don't know Alexis. Parties aren't really my thing…" Rose said looking nervous and unsure. I sighed, "Okay, fine…I'll let it slide this time. But next time your coming!" I said as I slide off the rock. James sat up when I got in the water, "Going to the party?"
"Yeah, that's the idea. I can't pass up a chance to sing." I said turning around and smirking. But James's face seemed to freeze, I glanced over to Rose and she had the same look on her face; and she was the first one of the two to snap out of it. "Your hair is wavy!" Rose said looking at me with a baffled expression. "When did that happen?" James said completing the thought.
"Oh…" 'That's right…forgot about that…' "Well, I usually straighten it in the morning. I get it from my Mother, kind of a Siren thing to have the wavy hair; goes with the ocean scene I guess…" I said giving a reason, I had no idea why my hair was that way I just knew my Mother's was wavy and so was mine.
James pushed off the rock saying goodbye to his cousin and following me through the water. Once we reached the shore I made my way to my things to get my skirt, as I bent over to pick it up I began to run my hand through my hair, muttering a straightening charm.
"Hey, umm… could you...ah…" James staggered to say as I pulled up my skirt I looked up at him, blowing one section of my now straightened hair out of my eyes. "Would that stuttering mean you're trying to ask me something?" I said with my fingers pausing on my zipper, leaving my skirt open and my bikini peeking out. When I saw James's eyes dip down I smirked, 'Sucker…'
"Umm...ah…" James blinked and shook his head, "I was wondering if I could see you with your hair normal...you know not straightened and all wavy?" James asked running his hand, once again, through his hair before giving me a half-smile.
"Hmm…maybe let me think about it." I said taking a few steps to him; not even bothering to zip up my skirt. Once I was right in front of him I looked down admiring his fine chest once more before I slowly and teasingly grazed my fingers up his arms, I could see goose-bumps forming. I smirked as I reached my destination; I slowly buried my fingers in his black mop. I ran my nails up the back of his and began to massage it. I held in a giggle as I saw his eyes roll in the back of his head and he closed his eyes as he allowed his head roll and bob at the different pressures of my fingers. I felt his hands grip my waist and his fingers slowly began to squeeze and trace little designs on my skin; I smirked, I had so won.
I pulled his head close to mine and brought his forehead down to my lips, after pushing some stands of hair out of the way with my nose I placed a slow and seductive kiss on his forehead. His hands on my back slid up to under my shoulder blades and pulled my closer to him, I could tell his grip was firm and even if I tried backing away I wouldn't be able to. 'Like I would do that…' I moved my lips down lower and placed another kiss on his cheek bone, and when I pulled away I looked at him. He still had his eyes closed since my fingers were still slowly working their magic, and now his lips were slightly parted and I saw his tongue quickly dart out and wet them. He must have thought I'd go there next, and oh how he just tempted me so…
I slowly pulled my fingers down out of his hair and when James felt this, his eyes shot open and he looked straight into mine. I had never imagined James's eyes could have looked so dark, demanding, and dangerous? He looked as though he would pull me taught against him and do whatever he pleased. I smiled at him and lightly pushed backwards and his hands reluctantly let go of me and I continued to back up a step. I looked down and zipped up my skirt, fixed it, then looked back up to him. "Sorry James, but I think you're going to have to wait to see my hair when it's completely wavy." I said smiling at his baffled expression before I spun around with my hair stretching out in fan around me and straightening. I stopped facing James again, and my hair spun to catch up and falling in front of my hair, straightened.
James gave an exaggerated sigh and shook his head at me. "You're bloody confusing you know that?" James said stepping to me and I took his hand and we began to walk to the party; me one step in front of him pulling him along. "Me? Nooo. I make it very clear what I want." I winked at him and he gave me a lop-sided grin, "I think it's you who's still confused on how to act…" I laughed.
He let out another sigh as he ran his hand through his ruffled hair, and left his hand rest gripping his neck while he let his head fall to the side and look at me.
James continued to walk with me to the party, but gave no answer or comment to my statement. I was right and he knew it.
When we walked past the sound barrier music surged forward and pounded in our ears. I smile spread over my face as I began to drag James over to the dancing mob of people, his legs seemed to turn stiff and reluctant. I looked back to him and he had a look on his face like he was debating if he should dance or try and worm out of it…guess which side won…
"Um…I'm not really much of a dancer…" he said giving me a weak smile. I glared at him, "Then why did you come along?" "Because you dragged me here…" James said wincing at my expression.
"Fine, I'll just find a real man to dance with me." I said letting go of his hand and walking backward to the crowd smirking at him. His face went tight as he caught my hidden message, 'Troy'. And speak of the devil, I swear Troy has the best timing…sometimes…
"Hey beautiful, came to be in the company of a real man hm?" Troy said coming up behind me and snaking his hands around my waist; he was horrible at keeping his hands to himself. I laughed still looking at James, he looked mad; and I just thought it was ironic that Troy said real man like I did. "Just need a dance partner Troy, James isn't up for it…" I said running my hands over his forearms and resting my hands over his. "Then you came to the right place Alexis." Troy said bending his head down and I felt him place a light kiss on my shoulder; I looked over and slightly glared at the top of his head.
Troy took large steps back into the crowd, pulling me with him and James just stood there never taking his eyes from me.
I looked to the stage to see who was singing, it was Jasmine and tall African-American boy singing. He was singing about how he wanted to get with her and she sang about telling him to be bold and step up, quite amusing.
You All Dat- Baha Men (That's want Jasmine and the boy are singing)
Troy and I moved together as they sang, Troy was definitely hinting at doing another kind of dance later, 'like that would happen…seriously Troy…' It looked like a friend of the guy who sang with Jasmine took the stage and as he sang he had more of a Jamaican vibe about him. He sang a good dancing song.

I began to wind and pop my hips in rhythm with the song, while I moved my top in a different manner but still in beat. Troy hips followed mine and his hands stayed gripped tightly on my hips.
Yo sexy ladies want par with us

We continued to dance (or grind…it's a combination these days) for the rest of the song. Other guys offered to cut in, but before they could finish their offer Troy's friends would take them away... The upper class boys just watched from a distance, judging if they should hex the boys and dance with me or just stay watching. I could feel a light coat of sweat beginning to cover my body, from the heat and from dancing like this with Troy during the song. (Come-on ladies I am a girl…)
Next Jasmine and a few of her friends took the stage and began to group sing.
Pone De Replay- Rihanna
Come Mr. DJ song pon de replay
Come Mr. DJ won't you turn the music up?

I case my eyes towards the edge of the dancing crowd and searched for James. He had wandered a bit; he found Al and his friends and was now talking with them. I caught his eye when he looked over and smirked at him. I pried Troy's hands off me and began to make my way through the crowd towards him. It's wasn't hard to make my way, people moved as I walked; probably wanting to see who I was making my way towards…nosey pests.
James just continued to watch as I approached, and his friends joined him. When I finally reached him I let my eyes wonder over his chest again before looking back into his green eyes, "Well what do you say Sexy? What to give it a go?" I nodded my head towards the dance floor. "I'll even lead, you follow…" I said smirking at him; he glanced back at the dance floor with an unsure expression once again falling on his face. 'Seriously why was he so paranoid about dancing??' I thought letting a scowl on my face.
Steve stepped forward, "Chris and I would love to follow as you lead…" he winked at me and Chris stepped up and nodded. I cast a glance checking the twins out; twins that's right and fine twins at that. "Now, how is it I can get twins to dance with me but not you, James?" I said taking a step towards him; standing right in front of him now, and I slowly coiled my arms around his neck.
He blushed at the close and very public contact I was showing. "DUDE! How can you SERIOUSLY not want to dance with her?" Steve shouted throwing his hands up in the air. I chuckled, "Yes James, how could you seriously not want to dance with me?" I asked tilting my head to the side. James rolled his head back and sighed loudly, "Alright, alright, lead the way." James growled out as placed his hands on my hips and I smiled and began to once again back up to the dance floor. Steve, Chris, and Al all whooped and hollered at James, he blushed harder because of this and told them all to snod off.
I turned my back to him and pulled him tight to me and began to move my hips and chest to the rhythm. It took James a few seconds to find his rhythm behind me, but when he did it felt good. I leaned my head back against his shoulder and just allowed myself to feel up rocking together on the dance floor. 'I don't see what he was worried about, he's good.'
It goes 1 by 1 even 2 by 2
Everybody in the club gon be rockin when I'm through
Let the bass from the speakers run through ya sneakers
Move both ya feet and run to the beat

Come Mr. DJ song pon de replay
Come Mr. DJ won't you turn the music up
On the gals pon the dancefloor wantin's some more what
Come Mr. DJ won't you turn the music up
I brought my head back up and threw my arms up and looped them loosely around his neck. He let his head fall down almost resting on my shoulder and I could feel his lips brushing my shoulder at different times. I smirked and wound one of my hands back in his hair; I could feel his sigh against me shoulder, 'Ha, almost time…' Then another song kicked on, but nor James or I moved, we stayed there and just fell into the new rhythm.
Move Ya Body- Nina Sky
OOO Move your body girl
Makes the fellas go
The way you ride it girl
Makes the fellas go
OOO Move your body girl
Makes the fellas go
The way you ride it girl
Makes the fellas go
All up in the club looking fly
Made your first approach
And caught his eye
Slowly move your way towards the dance floor
Grab her hand
And she whispered
Hold my hip
Got in the groove
Stand behind me
Let me grind with you
If I lick my lips
I'm prob'ly feeling you
Imma make you go ooh
I turned around to face him and I staggered our legs so we could still be close. James became a bit tense at our new stance but he didn't break beat with me. Our new beat was: I pushed my hips against him, he pushed his against me; I pushed mine against him, he pushed his against me… Now I was really getting warm, and so was he I could see the small trails on his chest. Shattering any form of self control I had left, I pulled head next to mine making my lips inches from his.
Whoo (you feelin' it now)
Take it...sloooow
Turn me on
Club gets warmer
Body moves closer
One with the rhythm
Don't stop moving
You're making me
HOT
From head to toe
I feel your flow
Vibe gets stronger
Party seems longer
Makes me really want'cha
Don't stop moving
You're making me
HOT
[Jabba (the guy voice in the song…]
Slow wind, slow wind, slow wind, slow wind, slow wind, slow wind, slow wind, slow wind
Fast wind, fast wind, fast wind, fast wind
Move your body, move your body, move your body, move your body
OOO Move your body girl

Makes the fellas go
OOO Move your body girl

The way you ride it girl
Makes the fellas go
OOO Move your body girl
Makes the fellas go
The way you ride it girl
Makes the fellas go
OOO Move your body girl
Makes the fellas go
The way you ride it girl
Makes the fellas go
Then suddenly everyone could feel a change in the atmosphere, everyone broke apart and began to look around. Dark grey, blue clouds grew and covered the sky and seconds later three professors came running down the hill towards us. One of the professors was Mrs. Scarlet, "Everyone inside now! No questions leave the stage and equipment. Inside!" She shouted down at us. Imminently everyone started shouting, and running everywhere. "QUITE!! Now leave your things and get yourselves INSIDE!!" Mrs. Scarlet shouted again as the other professors began to throw up shields and other hexes.
Al, Chris, and Steve ran up to us, "Come on man!" Al said as he grabbed James's arm and began to drag him up to the school. James grabbed my hand and pulled me behind them. Then it hit me, Rose was still down at the lake, "James!...Rose!" I shouted grabbing his arm. His head snapped back to me before looking over at the water, "Damn! You guys keep going we'll be right there!" James said to Al. "Yeah right man, she's my cousin too!" Al shouted back and Chris and Steve nodded too.
Wordlessly James took off towards the lake dragging me behind him and the boys following. The professors shouted after us and Al shouted back telling them that Rose was still down there.
When we reached the water's edge Rose was wading to shore, "What's going on?" She asked. "We don't know but we got to get to the school NOW Rose!" James said running forward and grabbing her hand and dragging her up the shore. Once he reached us he grabbed my hand again, "Ok you three have your wands right?" the boys nodded and pulled them out, "Good, anything comes at us you knock it down. We got to get the girls to the school." James said and the boys nodded again. We all took off at a run again. "Oh, please James this is not the time to act chivalrous." Rose shouted grabbing her own wand out of the back of her top. 'DAMN! Why didn't I do that!!" I thought angrily at myself.
We got half way up the hill when a woman appeared in front of us in a blur, we all stopped immediately. We heard distant shouts from teacher ordering students inside and the shouts of the hurried children, and our breaths. Al stood in front wand out and Chris and Steve flanked him.
The woman turned her head studying our group. Then her eyes found me and she took a few steps to her left to get a better view of me, studying me closely; my grip on James hand tightened.
"You look just like him… You're Alexis aren't you?"
The woman said in a seducing and dangerous voice. James grip on my hand tightened as the woman spoke. She let out a crackling laugh before speaking again.
"You're coming with me dear…"
She became a blur again and came right at us. James let go of Rose's hand whipped out his wand then everyone pointed their wands straight ahead and shouted "Protago!!" A bubbly light blue shield flew out and the woman collided with it and was sent hurtling backwards a few feet.
"You insolent little runts!"
The woman shouted as she stood up. James stepped forward and shouted "Stupify!" the hex flew right past Al's head and crashed into her. It just blew her shoulder back, knocking her off balance briefly. James's eyes got big as her watched her turn back to them and snarl.
"Hex's won't work. Okay everyone get ready to run…" Rose said softly to the group. James placed his wand back in his pocket and gripped Rose's hand ready to take off.
Rose quickly raised her wand, "Invertae Staturae!!" And the Woman went flying in the air flipping and spinning in every direction. (Think of Harry's and Draco's duel in the second movie...)
The second her feet were off the ground we were sprinting. We were only several yards from the doors of the castle where the teachers could now see us, 'a lot of bloody good they did' I thought to myself. I looked back to the woman, she was standing again snarling at us, her eyes locked on me again and not even a second later she became a blur once again; coming at us.
I tore my hand from James which caused his to stop a few paces from me, "Alexis!!" I stepped over and grabbed a hold of Rose's wrist and James's then quietly mumbled, "(Σειρήνας σιγή)". Rose gave me a baffled look as I spun around to face the woman; I knew what I had to do to buy us time.
She was right in front of me when I finished turning she didn't pause as she reached to grab me. I took a deep breath and hoped I had enough focus. Then I let out a piercing scream that had an immediate effect. The woman cupped her ears and let out a painful scream as she fell back to the ground rolling trying to make the pain stop coursing from her ears to the nerve endings all over her body.
I screamed for another several seconds, I had to make sure she would be disoriented long enough for us to make it to the school. When I stopped I panted to catch my breath; I don't use my powers all the time so my lungs are a bit out of shape… The woman didn't rise from the ground she was still rolling and contorting her body to try to ease the pain.
I turned back to the group, they all were standing; Al, Chris, and Steve had an awe struck expression on their faces; I guess I was focused enough if they're not in pain, that's good. James came forward and grabbed my hand once again while he watched the woman contort her body on the ground. We all turned and raced up to the castle, we took turns looking back to make sure she didn't get back up.
We raced up the stone steps as my lungs started to burn. We took two stairs at a time, when Al looked back he shouted, "SHE'S UP! COME ON GUYS LETS MOVE!!" We all looked back and we could feel her hatred burning into us from the look in her eyes. We all double timed it as the woman turned into a blur racing towards us. Just as we reached the top of the stairs she reached the first stairs where she crashed into a ward and was sent flying backwards down the hill. We all stopped and looked as we heard the sound of metal being slammed with something unworldly hard.
She once again got to her feet, 'What is with this woman, doesn't she ever just stop!' I thought watching her and trying to catch my breath. The woman glared at us a few seconds longer before once again becoming a blur and racing into the forbidden forest.
Professor Sprout came up behind us, "Come, come, into the Great Hall little one's… what on earth happened to you!" she asked once she noticed all of us panting heavily.
As we walked to the Great Hall I touched James and Rose releasing them of my curse. "What spell was that? I couldn't hear anything, like my head was in a really tight box." James asked. "Yes, I had never heard that spell before." Rose added in.
"It's a curse, and only a Siren can use it. Siren's are they only ones who can cast it and remove it." I answered getting my breathing under control.
"But what did that woman what? She said 'you look just like him.' Who do you think she meant? You're Father? It had to be your Father. But still doesn't answer, why?" Rose rambled on trying to fit the pieces together.
I zoned out after she restated what the woman said earlier, "You look just like him… You're Alexis aren't you?" Now I couldn't get her voice out of my head. 'Him… she couldn't have meant HIM, him… no one's heard or seen him in seven years. Why would he come back now? What purpose would it serve? But I didn't see him just now or anyone else remotely close to the male sex aside from James, Al, Chris, and Steve. But then what the BLOODY HELL DID SHE MEAN? Had she meant him, she couldn't mean him though...it just couldn't be…….'
I was brought out of my mental battle buy Rose shaking my shoulder, "Alexis! If she was after a way to get to your Father, Scorpio could be in trouble! Haven't you been listening! If that's what the woman wanted, wants saying someone didn't go after Scorpio?" Rose was right I was jumping to HUGE conclusions; this person had to be after Dad and if Rose was right Scorpio could be in trouble, or already missing.
I sprinted to the Great Hall, pushing people out of my way as my claves screamed in protest. Once inside the Great Hall I eyes searched the Slytherin table for a head of blonde, "SCORPIO!" I shouted using a little more 'oomph' then I usually would, and thankfully I saw his face flash in the crowd. "Thank Merlin…" I breathed out as he carved a path to me. I hugged him close once he got to me, "God I was scared someone came after you. Are you alright?" I said releasing him and taking his head between my hands. "Yes, I'm fine. Why are you all sweaty? And why would anyone come after me? Did someone come after you?" Scorpio said rushed. "Yeah, but we got away. We're all fine." I said letting out a breath and pulling him to me again, loosely this time.
"Someone came after you?" Mrs. Sprout asked appearing once again. "Yes, a lot of bloody help you teachers were!" I said angered. "Didn't anyone watch us when we ran down to the lake?"
She looked shocked then shook her head, "The Headmistress will want to speak to you. Come, come, to the front of the Great Hall youngsters." Mrs. Sprout said shooing up to the front.
"Scorpio, go to Troy and you stay with him! Understand, you stay with him, and tell him I said to watch after you." I said before I released him. "Come on sis, I don't need anyone to watch me!" Scorpio wined in protest. "Scorpio, go! Don't argue with me on this, okay? Just do it and don't leave Troy." I said pleading with him, I was not going to let anything happened to my little brother! He finally nodded and went back to the table.
Scorpio Alexis pleaded with me to go to Troy and stay with him. The worry in her eyes scared me, so I nodded and turned to go to the table and find Troy. He was easy to find, most of the pussy Slytherin's had crowded around him, hoping he would provide some kind of reassurance. One of his goons stepped in my path, "You had better move unless you want to deal with my sister, you low grade wannabe." I said glaring up at him. …He stepped aside…'Wuss'
"Troy,' I greeted sitting next to him. "Scorpio? Hey man, weird hn? I wonder why the hell we were all herded in here." Troy said looking around to all the other worried faces. "Look I don't care about that right now. Alexis was freaked, apparently she ran into someone outside and she told me to stick by you for the time remaining. And she said to tell you to look after me." I explained to Troy, he was an arrogant pig but when my sister or I really needed him he pulled through. He saw that I was serious and looked out over the Hall to find Alexis; she was looking at us as she walked up to the front table. When Troy met her eyes she mouthed, 'Please.' Troy nodded, "You stay with me." He commanded looking pointedly at me and I nodded as well. Then we grew silent waiting for the Headmistress to speak.
Alexis Troy understood and I could count on him he was an old family friend and when we needed it he was there. James leaned over, "Troy, really?" "Yes, I trust him. He comes through when needed, he's done it before." I said as we came to the front of the Hall.
"Headmistress, these students say they had an encounter with a woman." Mrs. Sprout said motioning to us.
Headmistress looked at you astonished, "Encounter? With a woman? Is this true children?" We all nodded. Rose piped up, "She spoke towards Alexis, it seemed as though she wanted to take her away." The Headmistress's eyes snapped to me, "Every well, we will discuss this further in my office. But as of now you are to return to your tables until I call you. Go." She said shooing us, we all looked at each other once more before going our separate ways.
I sat in between Scorpio and Troy, "Everything, okay Alexis?" Troy asked in a calm voice. "I don't know. I don't know what anything meant today…" I said looking over at him, I felt Scorpio grip my hand under the table. I looked back over to my little brother, I didn't mean to make him worried, but I was worried for him. Then I looked up to the Headmistress as she stood and quieted us.
