Here is chapter 20!

Chapter 20

Last Time:

"He took Buckbeak and no one knows where he went, but he will be sending me letters" Alex taps her hands on her knees.

"Why the hell did you let him go?" Snape snaps at Alex and Dumbledore.

"He's innocent Severus. It was Pettigrew who killed all those people and framed Sirus. Just because he bullied when you both were in school, doesn't mean he is that way now. You both have to be the better person and get over it. It's in the past" Alex tells Snape calmly. Snape rolls his eyes and storms out of the office.

"It's time for bed Alex" Dumbledore whispers to Alex, who is starts to fall asleep on the couch. Alex walks to Dumbledore's bed after getting up and falls straight to sleep. McGonagall and Dumbledore chuckles as Dumbledore wave his wand changing Alex from all muddy and dirty to all clean and in pjs. All Alex's cuts are gone as well. Dumbledore makes another bed appear for himself, "would you like to camp here or go to your bed?"

"I'll go to my bed" McGonagall smiles and leaves his office.

Now:

A week later, Alex is rubbing her eyes as she walks down to breakfast. It is the last day of school and tomorrow everyone will be back with their families for either, 2 months and return to school, or never come back. Alex groans as she sits down next to Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"This came for you" Ron tells Alex and hands her the package. Alex nods and opens it. Inside the package is… a Firebolt, "the fastest broom even made" Rom whispers.

"This came with it" Hermione hands Alex the feather making Alex smirk. Hermione waves her wand and whispers a spell making the feather stay attached to the broom, forever. Harry smiles at Alex who grabs a piece of toast and runs out to give it a try. Hermione, Ron and Harry laughs and follows. Many students who were watching everything take place, run out after them and watch Alex as she flies into the air.

~H&A~

Over the summer Alex is sitting in the cafeteria in her summer school… Wiztech.

"Hey Ally" Alex looks up to see Justin and Max.

"Hey" Alex smiles, "are you graduating this year Justin?" Justin grins and nods.

"Yup in September. I start monster hunting next year" Alex smirks and nods.

"That's great!" Justin and Max sit down on both sides of Alex.

"How was Hogwarts this year Alex?" Alex looks at Max and groans.

"Max, it's the end of summer, the last day of summer school and you ask me how the past school year is and I start school next week? Are you seriously asking me this question?"

"It's the end of summer? But I just finished school a month ago…" Max grows confused making Alex laugh.

"I was just messing with you Max. Summer just started" Justin snorts and chuckles.

Just then the unexpected happen. Alex Russo sits down in front of the three friends with a smile.

"Hey" Russo smiles.

"Hi" Alex raises an eyebrow, "how come you are sitting here?"

"Can't I say hi to my brothers and friend?"

"We aren't even friends Russo"

"What did you says Dumbledork?" Russo snaps standing up. Russo grabs Alex's shirt pulling her to her feet and slams her into the wall next to them. Alex winces from the impact as Russo grabs Alex's neck and starts to choke her. Max and Justin watches in shock as colour drains from Alex's face.

Professor Crumbs is currently walking the halls and as he walks into the cafeteria, he sees Alex getting strangled by Russo.

"Ms. Russo!" Crumbs snaps rushing over, "let go of Ms. Dumbledore" Crumbs sees Russo whisper something and throws Alex to the ground. Russo storms off as Max and Justin help Alex off the ground. Crumbs sighs, "bring her to my office and I will contact her father" Crumbs starts to walk off but before anyone can do anything, Alex flashes off.

~H&A~

Alex flashes to the Burrow and sees Molly knitting.

"Alex!" Molly jumps seeing Alex's pale face. Molly helps Alex off the ground and lays her on the couch, "what happened?"

"Alex Russo" Alex whispers, "she strangled me Molly" tears fills Alex's eyes as colour slowly returns to her face. Molly strokes Alex's hair. Alex then notices that the house is deadly quiet, "Where is everyone?"

"They went to the Quidditch World Cup" Alex nods as Molly smiles, "would you like me to contact your dad and ask if you could stay with me." Alex nods and lies back on the couch and close her eyes.

~H&A~

"Yes, it was Alex Russo who did this to your daughter Albus" Molly tells Dumbledore as he looks at his sleeping 13 year old daughter.

"I think it is time to tell Crumbs that Alex will not be returning to Wiztech for good" Molly nods in agreement.

"I think that is a good idea but you should talk to Alex about it first" Dumbledore nods.

"I will. Will it be ok if Ally could stay with you for the rest of the summer?"

"It will be perfect"

"Thank you Molly" Dumbledore smiles and desperates back to Hogwarts.

~H&A~

As Harry, Ron and Hermione arrives back to the Burrow after the Quidditch World Cup, with Ginny, Fred, George, Percy and Arthur, they walk into the house.

"If the attack didn't happen the Dark Mark was there, it would be a perfect way to make the summer holidays better" Harry tells them.

"Even better than seeing your girlfriend?" Harry looks into the kitchen to see Alex and Molly sitting at the table.

"Ally!" Harry grins and attacks Alex with a hug, "what are you doing here?"

"Decided to stop by" Alex shrugs her shoulders and begs Molly, with her eyes, not to tell. Molly smiles telling Alex she won't.

"She surprised me yesterday" Molly agrees, "She will be staying with us for the rest of the summer" Molly grins.
