Chapter 28

Last Time:

"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.

Now:

The final task is today. Today is June, and Alex is standing in front of Dumbledore, as he rubs her tense shoulders.

"You are ok Ally. Just relax" Dumbledore tells her, before beginning the speech.

Just then the cannon is heard. Alex walks into the maze with her wand tightly held in her hand. Alex runs forward, until she is stopped by a Dementor.

"Expecto Patronum!" Alex shouts. Her patronus jumps out of her wand and hits the Dementor... it doesn't do anything, "so you're a Boggart. Riddikulus!" the Dementor turns into puppy. Alex runs passed and continues on the way.

A good half hour later, Alex sees the cup. The wind picks up and Alex runs to the cup. She grabs hold of it, and feels herself get sucked in.

~H&A~

Fleur, Krum and Justin are sitting outside of the maze, getting doctored up from their wounds.

"Where are Alex and Harry?" Justin hears Hermione ask Ron. Justin begins to worry and he takes notice that Dumbledore is as well.

~A&H~

Alex lands on the ground and looks up. She sees that she is in a graveyard. Alex stands up and stares in shock. There is Voldemort standing in front of her. Alex looks at the statue to see Harry trapped on it, with his right forearm bleeding.

"What..." Alex starts until she gets pined on the statue next to Harry. Voldemort drags a knife along Alex's arm and makes it start to bleed. He puts his finger against the blood, and lets it fall in his finger. He then likes the blood off his finger. Alex begins to gag and closes her eyes disgusted. Alex feels herself fall onto the ground and that is when she opens her eyes. She sees Harry on the ground next to her.

"Pick up your wands! I want to see the white of your eyes when I kill the both of you" Voldemort snaps at them. Alex and Harry pick up their wands and point them at Voldemort.

"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort shouts aiming at the two 14 year olds.

"Expelliarmus!" Harry shouts at the same time as Voldemort.

"Stupefy!" Alex shouts at the same time as the two guys. Alex's and Harry's spells combine as one and collides with Voldemort's. They both see Harry's parents, Alex's mom and other victims that Voldemort killed that year.

"We will stall him Alex and Harry. You two run and get to the cut. Get to Dumbledore" Harry's mom Lily tells them. The two of them nods, and breaks the spells. They run to the cup and grab it at the same time, as the victims and parents stall Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

~H&A~

As they arrive outside the maze, Alex bursts into tears. Dumbledore runs to Alex and pulls her into a hug.

"You're safe now Ally" Dumbledore whispers not seeing Harry get pulled away by Moody. Snape sees this and follows in the shadows.

Dumbledore takes Alex up to his office, to get healed. He puts Alex's prize money on his desk as he bandages Alex's left forearm.

"How are you feeling?" Dumbledore whispers to Alex as he strokes Alex's sweaty hair from her face.

"Tired, scared and confused" Alex whispers in return.

"About what?"

"Voldemort's back dad. I saw mom, Lily and James Potter. And Voldemort took some of my blood and swallowed it" Dumbledore's eyes widen.

"He swallowed some of your blood?" Alex nods.

"What does it mean?"

"He made a connection between the two of you. He will be able to see into your mind and control you" Alex whimpers and begins to cry.

"I don't want him too dad!" Dumbledore pulls Alex to him and hugs her tightly as she cries.

"We will think of something Ally"

"Albus!" Dumbledore hears the door bang open and McGonagall runs in.

"What is it Minerva?"

"It's Harry!" Alex pulls away quickly as Dumbledore gets up and runs after McGonagall. Alex stands up, grabs her prize money and runs up to Gryffindor Tower. She just wants to get away from people.

~A&H~

As the last day of school arrives, Alex walks down to the great hall where everyone is eating, one last dinner together. Alex sits down with Hermione, Ron, Harry, Justin and Max.

"I'm glad this year is over" Alex mutters. Tomorrow is the day where Durmstang, Wiztech and Beauxbatons leave to go back home with Hogwarts students.

"Us too" Ron agrees with Hermione and Harry. Justin and Max hug Alex gently, since she is sitting between them and the other three are sitting on the other side.

"Another year gone!" Dumbledore starts catching everyone's attention, "we all joined as one, to make friends, fix misunderstandings, and become a family" Dumbledore looks straight at Alex for the 'fix misunderstandings'. Alex sighs and nods. She looks over at Krum, who is sitting at the Ravenclaw table. Krum looks at Alex, "we all became one, compete against each other, and learned from each other. Now, we will all enjoy the final day together to save goodbye" Dumbledore sits down in his chair, as Alex and Krum stands up and walks out the great hall to talk.

~H&A~

The next morning, Alex walks Krum to the boat.

"I will write to you this summer" Krum tells Alex with a smile. Alex smiles and nods.

"See you later" Krum and Alex hugs then Alex walks back up to the school. Alex was able to sneak away from her friends to say goodbye to Krum.

"See ya Ally. I will write to you this summer" Alex looks to her left to see it was Fleur.

"Bye Fleur! I will write back!" Alex and Fleur waves at each other until the carriage takes off into the air. Alex watches as the carriage flies into the clouds and the boat goes under the water.

"Bye Alex" Justin and Max says to Alex as they hug her from behind.

"Bye guys" Alex smiles and hugs them back. Alex sees Russo run to her and tackles her with a hug.

"Bye Lex!" Alex laughs.

"Bye Gangster!" Russo laughs and pulls away.

"I will make sure I will write to you. And I promise that if you ever do return to Wiztech, I will protect you" Alex smiles.

"Ok. See ya" the Russo siblings climb into their boat and cross the lake, to where the port key is. Alex walks into the school and gets tackled by Hermione, Ron and Harry.

"Bye Ally" they say together.

"Bye guys. I will see you this summer" Alex smiles, and waves until her friends walks out of the castle to the Hogsmeade station.

As the castle clears out, Alex sighs.

"Ready to begin the training?" Alex turns around to see Snape.

"What training?" Alex asks.

"To close your mind from the Dark Lord"
