Chapter 27

Last Time:

"We just wanted to say we are sorry for being mean, and not believing you. I am sorry that I didn't sick by you and I stuck by Ron" Alex rolls her eyes at her boyfriend, who she is mad at. They never broke up, or said it.

"Harry, I think we should take a break. And once we are back to being friends again, and we both feel right, we could date again" Harry nods, not risking on anything.

"Whatever you think is right" Harry smiles and kisses Alex's cheek gently, "you are amazing Ally. I know you will survive the tournament" Alex smiles and nods.

"Al?" Alex looks at Ron who smiles at her, "may I have a hug?" Alex smiles and hugs Ron, telling him, he is forgiven.

Now:

The next day, Alex is sitting in the library with Justin, Hermione, Max and Russo.

"I'm confused! What in the heck happen to The Titanic?" Alex asks Hermione, Justin, Max and Russo who began laughing.

"The Titanic hit an iceberg" Hermione laughs.

"But why didn't they hit it head on?"

"They didn't know how big the iceberg is underwater" Justin explains. Alex stares at him like he grew an extra head. Max shakes his head.

"Ally, The Titanic is a ship, which sank. Everyone thought it was unsinkable" Max says. Alex opens her mouth but Russo cuts her off.

"The ice hit the side of the ship and it flooded around 9 compartments. The captain of the ship was a complete idiot for not listening to the ice reports from the other ships" Alex begins to nod.

"So this is in the muggle world right? Not the wizard?" Alex asks.

"Uhm... muggle?" Max answers confused, "what was the question?"

"She was asking if the sinking happened in the wizard or muggle world" Hermione points out, "but it was muggle. Wizards would have just used magic to save it" Alex nods and gently puts down the history book that Justin brought from his mortal school.

~H&A~

As 2pm arrives, Alex taps her fingers as she reads her homework in the library. She rubs her eyes; it has been 6 hours since the Titanic conversation, between her, Justin, Max, Hermione and Russo. After that conversation, McGonagall came in and pulled Max and Hermione out. Russo went to the great hall and Justin went with her.

"Alex!" Alex turns around in her seat to see Ron and Russo run to her.

"What?" Alex asks.

"The task is right now!" Russo shouts at her. Alex slams everything close and runs with Ron and Russo up to the Gryffindor common room.

As the 3 of them runs down to the docks, they see a GIANT platform in the water. They jump onto the last boat, as Alex fixes her black, yellow and red t-shirt that says 'Gryffindor' on the front and 'Dumbledore' on the back. She looks at her clothes. She is wearing the t-shirt and black and red shorts. She is wearing a pair of running shoes, for the moment.

As the boat arrive to the dock all 3 of them jumps out. Alex squeezes her way through to the front and sees Dumbledore standing there looking slightly nervous.

"Hi dad" Dumbledore's head snaps to the left and grins.

"Thank god you are ok" Alex smiles and slips her shoes off.

"I will always be ok dad" Dumbledore laughs lightly and hands her the jar.

"Drink up" Alex nods, opens the jar and pinches her nose. She swallows all the liquid in the jar and begins to jag and choke. Dumbledore takes the jar away and holds her in his arms until she is done.

"That stuff is disgusting" Alex mutters as she holds her throat, since it hurts.

"I know. Are you ready?" Alex nods and heads over to the other champions.

"Good luck Lexi" Alex looks up to see Krum.

"Good luck too Vicky" Krum smiles at his old nickname, and Alex smiles right back. Just then the cannon fires.

~A&H~

As Alex dives into the ice cold water, she took notice that she is dry to the bone. Alex begins to swim right beside Krum, who grabs her hand. All the older champions have decided to use the bubble-head charm, so they can talk and breathe.

"Lexi?" Alex looks at Krum.

"Yes Vicky?" Alex asks.

"I just want to know what went down between us. Like, we were dating for 2 years straight" as weird as it sounds, Alex was 11 turning 12 when she and Krum, 15 at the time, started to date. They both got permission from their parents, and would only go out on dates, if their parents were there. At the same time, Alex discovered she had a crush on Krum, and didn't know how to break up with him, when she discovered she liked Harry, "and then just before my Quidditch match you break up with me" Alex rolls her eyes.

"Vicky, we broke up before then, well I said we should take a break. That counts as breaking up. I said that before my crush and I started to date" before Krum could say anything, they both hear the singing. Fleur and Justin were swimming right behind them, both listening to the conversation and keeping up with their friends.

Alex sees Fleur's sister, Hermione, Max and Cho. Fleur has to rescue her sister, Krum has to rescue Cho, who is his best friend, Justin has Max and Alex has Hermione. All four of them point their wands at the ropes, and Krum's, Fleur's and Justin's turns into knifes, just what they wanted. Alex whispers a spell and the Rope snaps, making Hermione slowly rise to the surface.

"Are you guys ok if I leave?" Alex asks them. They all nod as their ropes all snaps. They all began to drag their victims to the surface, besides Alex, who watches as Hermione reaches and swims to the dock. As the four champions break the surface, the three with the victims, lets their victims go and swim to the dock. Alex feels the liquid stuff wear off, making her completely soaked. Alex swims to the dock, which is where Dumbledore lifts her out of the water. He wraps a thick blanket around her and hugs her tightly.

"You did amazing" Dumbledore whispers to her. Alex smiles and hugs him tightly. Alex's teeth begin to chatter as Barty Crouch, tells them their places.

"And here are the places! Fourth to... Fleur Delacour. Third to... Victor Krum. Second to... Justin Russo. And first to... Alex Dumbledore!" to Alex's shock, many people began to cheer for her.

~A&H~

Alex and Hermione slips on their dresses, after doing their hair. Tonight, January 20th, is the Yule Ball, for the champions of the Triwizard Tournament. Justin is taking Hermione, Victor is taking Rose, since Cho is going with her boyfriend, Fleur is taking Ron and Alex is taking Max. Alex's hair is straight and is half up half down. Hermione lent her a purple flower clip that goes with her purple and black dress. Hermione is wearing her pink dress with high heels. Since Alex HATES high heels, she is wearing purple and black flats.

The two girls walk down to the entrance hall, and sees Justin and Max talking to one another. The two guys smiles and holds their arms out to their dates. Alex laces her arm through Max's and Hermione does the same with Justin.

"You both look beautiful" Justin and Max says and kisses their cheeks at the same time.

"Did you two plan that?" Alex asks them and begins to laugh.

"Yes" Russo walks over in her black dress with Harry.

"Will you stop following me?" Russo snaps at Harry.

"Russo, we are each other's dates, get over it" Harry rolls his eyes before looking at Alex and Max, arms laced.

"I only decided to go with you, because this dance is mandatory. I HATE dances" Alex, Justin and Max nods in agreement.

"She really does hate dances" Max tells him. Alex shakes her head and sighs.

"I need to go to the washroom before we have to go in" Alex tells Max. She kisses Max's cheek then walks to the washroom.

"Are you two dating?" Harry asks Max between clenched teeth. Max looks at him with a smirk.

"No, but I like her more than a friend and you do too. So that means that I will be fighting against you to date her" Max answers. Harry shakes his head and glares.

"I made a mistake Max. I will always have feelings for her. I will gladly fight for her heart" Max holds out his hand.

"Game on" Max and Harry shake hands. Hermione, Justin and Russo shake their heads and all sigh.

"This is not going to end well" Hermione whispers.

~A&H~

As Alex walks back she stands next to Max.

"Ok, Alex, Max" the two 14 year olds looks up at McGonagall, who approached them, "Justin, Hermione, you all will have to dance the first dance. Fleur and Ron, and Victor and Rose are already in the knowing. But all of you have to dance first" Alex gulps and nods. She has always hated dancing, even though she is good at it, "let's go" Max and Alex laces their arms, as Hermione and Justin does. Justin walks in front of Alex, so she can go in last. Harry and Russo joins the crowd as the champions walks in. Krum walks in first with Rose, who is wearing a sparkly silver dress that goes to her knees. Next Fleur walks in with Ron. Fleur is wearing a sky blue dress that goes to her ankles. Next are Justin and Hermione, then Alex and Max. They all take their positions, and Alex's left hand is on Max's shoulder and her right is holding his left. Max's right hand is on the small of her back and he smiles at her.

"You will be ok" Max whispers to her. Alex nods and bites her lip.

The music begins, and they begin the waltz. As Alex dances with Max, Hermione looks at the two every once in a while. She and Justin begin to laugh at their friends and shake their heads.

"They would make a cute couple, but I think her and Harry are better" Justin whispers to Hermione. Hermione nods in agreement.

"I know. Alex may not know this, but you can actually see the romance between her and Harry. For her and Max, it's like sisterly and brotherly love. Also it's a crush" Justin nods.

"I agree. I hope Alex will not get hurt between Max's and Harry's fight" Hermione nods once more before noticing Dumbledore and McGonagall join the dance.

~H&A~

Harry watches Alex as she dances. He only wishes it was him instead of Max.

"I think Alex looks beautiful" Harry turns to his right to see Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang.

"Me too" Harry nods. He looks to his left to see Russo sitting on a chair asleep.

"I think you made your date fall asleep" Harry looks back at Cedric and shrugs his shoulders.

"She hates dances, but it's mandatory to come" Cedric nods and shakes his head.

"You blew it man. You should have stuck to Alex's side, then you would be out there with her instead of that dude" Harry sighs and nods.

"I know, but I am going to make it up to her" Cedric nods.

"I hope you will do it right, so she will not get hurt in the end"

"Me too"

"Good luck Harry, and make things right. We all can see that you and Alex love each other and the love between you two is real" Cho tells Harry before pulling Cedric onto the dance floor.

~A&H~

Alex is currently sitting on a chair next to Harry. It is 11:30pm, and the dance ends at 12am. Max has already left to go to sleep, and Alex decided to stay. She and Max got into a fight and Max walked away, leaving Alex to cry. Harry has his arm wrapped around her, holding her tightly. Hermione and Ron are with them, both sitting on the floor. Justin has already gone up to bed as well.

"I'm sorry for crying" Alex whispers, wiping her tears.

"It's ok Ally. Everything is ok" Harry whispers. Alex stares into Harry's blue eyes as Harry stares into her sad brown eyes. Hermione and Ron stand up and sneak away, to go to bed. As the two of them stares at each other, they both lean forward, not realising it.

As they both close their eyes, their lips connect. Harry's arms wrap around Alex's waist gently and her's wrap around his neck.

Russo, who slept through the whole dance, opens her eyes. She wipes the sleep from her eyes, and looks around. Her eyes land on Alex and Harry and smirks.

"I'm glad I faked sleeping...ish. Now time to kill Max" Russo whispers to herself before walking out to punch Max a few times.

~A&H~

As Alex sits in the Potions classroom, serving her detention, in March, she is writing her lines. Snape is sitting at his desk, and Malfoy is sitting next to her.

"So do you both know why you are here?" Snape asks the two 14 year olds. Alex and Malfoy glare at each other and shake their heads.

"No sir" they answer at the same time.

"Because you both decided to join forces and turn my hair hot pink" Alex and Malfoy smirks at the same time and begins laughing. Malfoy and Alex give each other a high five as Snape rolls his eyes at them.

"You know, for being my god son and like a daughter to me, you two are crazy"

"Well you are my second dad anyways Severus" Alex smiles.

"Now, tell me something" Snape starts, "are you and Potter back together yet? I caught you two kissing at the Yule Ball" Alex blushes as Malfoy rolls his eyes.

"We never actually talked about it" Alex answers honesty.

"Are you are Max Russo dating?" Malfoy asks, getting involved.

"No. We are actually not friends anymore" Alex looks down at her paper and passes it to Snape, "there, 200 lines" Alex walks out of the classroom and heads up to Gryffindor Tower.

Alex bites her lip, silently wishing that this year would end.

And that's the chapter. What do you think? Please review!
