Chapter 32

Last Time:

"I still want to join" Harry tells Sirus and Lupin. Alex looks confused and begins to think on what Harry means he 'wants to join'.

She will stop at nothing and promises herself she will figure it out.

Now:

Christmas break ends as Alex distances herself from her best friends and boyfriend again. Alex is currently sitting on top of the arch way leading to Hagrid's hut and the Forbidden Forest. Since the arch way is the bridge, no one can see her only coming back from the forest or Hagrid's hut. Alex is still trying to figure out what Harry meant. Just then she hears Fred's, George's and Rose's voices.

"Ya, the meeting is tonight for DA" Alex hears Fred tell the other two. Alex is wearing a scarf, gloves a hat and winter coat, along with ski pants and boots. Since it is January and the snow is really deep. Alex grabs some snow and makes a snowball.

"I'm excited for the meeting. But I am going to help you two pull that major prank on Umbitch" Rose tells her boyfriend and best friend as they walk off of the bridge.

Just then Alex throws the snowball, hitting Rose in the back of the head. Rose turns around sharply and sees Alex laughing her head off.

"That was funny" Alex laughs and picks up more snow. And that is how the snowball fight begins.

~H&A~

Harry, Ron and Hermione are walking back from Hogsmeade with Luna, Neville and Ginny. The golden trio hasn't seen their best friend in the last 3 days. As they walk closer to the bridge they see Alex on top of the bridge's arch.

They also see the twins and Rose having a snowball fight with Alex. Harry all of a sudden gets hit in the face with a snowball.

All the laughter stops and everything goes deathly silent.

Harry looks up to see Alex smiling and the twins and Rose shocked. Harry wipes the snow off his face and throws a snowball that he had behind his back. He throws it at Alex and it hits her in the side of the face.

"Harry James Potter!" Alex gasps. Harry chuckles.

"Yes Alexis Destiny Dumbledore?" Harry asks sweetly. Alex grabs some snow and throws it back. Harry and Alex begin their snowball fight as everyone else takes cover behind trees, staying out of the way.

About 5 minutes later, Alex's foot slips sending her flying off of the arch way. Harry runs over and catches her in time.

"Are you ok?" Harry whispers as Alex nods. Harry sighs in relief and just sits in a snow bank, not caring that he is getting cold and wet. He is just happy he got Alex back once more.

~A&H~

After DA, Alex and Harry are talking. Alex has finally got her answer that she was searching for.

"I want to join the Order of the Phoenix. I want to be in the war against Voldemort. I am too young to join but I still want to be a part of it" Harry explains to Alex on what he meant over the break.

"Oh, well it's your choice, not anyone else's" Alex tells him.

"We're still underage so adults can stop us"

"Only the parents though. So for you, it's Sirus" Harry nods.

"You're right" Harry and Alex smiles at each other. Harry and Alex lean in until their lips connect in a slow moving kiss.

A few weeks later, it is now March 12th. Alex, Harry and the DA members are all practicing Patronuses. Alex's groundhog is flying around the room, as Hermione's rabbit and chasing the groundhog.

Just then there is a bang. All the patronuses disappear and everyone looks at the door.

"Leave! Go get to your common rooms" Harry shouts in a whisper. Everyone besides, Alex, Harry, Ron and Hermione runs for the backup door. Once everyone is gone, the four of them takes off, but gets stopped by a spell, since the door broke down.

"Who do we have here?" Umbridge asks and flicks her wand, making the four teens to flip over, "ah, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley" Umbridge then catches Alex's eyes and smirks, "Alex Dumbledore. I think your father would be happy to know what you are up too"

Malfoy lifts Alex to her feet as Goyle, Crabbe and Filch do the same to Ron, Harry and Hermione.

Umbridge leads them all to Dumbledore's office.

~H&A~

As they all arrive to Dumbledore's office, they see Fudge there with Kingsley. Dumbledore looks at Alex, Harry, Ron and Hermione as they get dragged in.

"Let my daughter go Mr. Malfoy" Dumbledore orders. Malfoy releases Alex but Fudge grabs her before she could get to Dumbledore.

"We are here to arrest you Albus. You have misguided the students into believe You-Know-Who is back. You are even an unfit father" Fudge tells Dumbledore.

"I am NOT unfit" Dumbledore argues.

"Really? You allow her to be in a secret organization, you let her talk back to teachers, and you allow her to sleep around!" Alex looks confused at Dumbledore, who returns it.

"I don't sleep around!" Alex snaps, "I'm 15 for crying out loud!" Fudge covers Alex's mouth to get her to shut up. But he ends up covering Alex's nose as well, making it hard for her to breathe. Alex struggles trying to get air, but Fudge ignores her movements. But it doesn't go unnoticed by Dumbledore.

"Cornelius, let go of Alex. She can't breathe!" Dumbledore tells Fudge. Fudge ignores him and begins to talk about the charges he is going to place on Dumbledore. Dumbledore flicks his wand, making Alex fly to him. Alex's reddish-blue face begins to go back to normal, "just breathe Ally" Dumbledore whispers to her as he strokes her hair and holds her close. Dumbledore goes on his knees in front of Alex, "I'm going to have to leave Ally. We both know that. Everything will be ok honey" Alex nods feeling tears form in her eyes, "I love you. And I will see you really soon"

"Ok daddy" Alex whispers. Alex hugs Dumbledore once more before stepping back allowing Dumbledore to leave. Fudge takes a step forward, which causes Fawkes to fly to Dumbledore and Dumbledore leaves in style, but not without saying 'I love you Ally', once more.

"He has style" Kingsley mutters, causing everyone to look at him. Fudge then turns to Umbridge.

"You are now the headmistress Delores" Fudge tells her before leaving to go back to the Ministry with Kingsley.

"Time for punishment" Umbridge smirks evilly looking at Harry, Ron, Hermione and Alex.

And that is the chapter. What do you think? Please review.
