Chapter 38

Last Time:

"The battle of Willow Creek happened right here in our very Mystic Falls. How many casualties resulted in this battle? Miss Bennett?"

"A lot? I'm not sure, but like a whole lot" Bonnie answers.

"Cute becomes dumb in an instant Miss Bennett. Mr Donovan, maybe you can take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype"

"That's OK Mr Tanner, I'm cool with it" Matt smiles. Alex looks at Matt and giggles.

"Elena? Surely you can enlighten us on one of the town's most historic events" Alex narrows her eyes knowing this will not be good.

"I'm sorry, I don't know" Elena answers and looks down.

"I was willing to be lenient last year, for obvious reasons, but the personal reasons ended with summer break" Alex couldn't hold her anger any longer. The death, funeral and wake didn't happen that long ago, and that what pisses Alex off.

"Will you grown up Mr. Tanner. It's still fresh and surely, if it happened to you, you would want a break. So..." Alex gets cut off by Stefan and Elena covered Alex's mouth.

"There was 346 causalities, unless you're counting civilians" Stefan saves.

"That's correct, Mr Salvatore? Any relation to the original settlers here in Mystic Falls?"

"Distant"

"Very good, except that there were no civilian casualties in this battle"

"Actually there were 27 civilian casualties. Confederate soldiers fired on the church believing it to be hiding weapons, but they were wrong. It's a night of great loss. The founder's records are stored in civil hall if you want to brush up on your facts, Mr Tanner" everyone in the class claps their hands together and Alex catches Elena looking at Stefan and Stefan winking at her. Alex smirks knowing she has some meddling to do...

Now:

Alex walks with Elena and Jeremy to lunch in the cafeteria, and that is when everyone goes silent. Jeremy and Elena roll their eyes and sits down with Bonnie, Caroline and Matt.

"Hey" Elena forces a smile.

"How are you Elena?" Caroline asks gently. Alex inwardly rolls her eyes, knowing that Elena is starting to get upset by everyone asking her if she is ok.

"I'm fine" Elena answers. She looks at Alex, "how's your day going Ally?"

"Good" Alex nods, "Mr. Tanner pisses me off, but good" Elena chuckles and nods.

"He pisses a lot of us off" Jeremy looks at Elena and Alex, then looks at the door to see Tyler and Vicki walk in hand-in-hand.

The couple walks over to the group.

"Hey Elena" Vicki smiles. Elena looks up and sneaks a peek at Alex, who is looking semi scared.

"Hey Vicki. Hey Tyler" Elena grabs Alex's hand under the table, and noticed Jeremy is doing the same, "Tyler, what did you do to my cousin to get her scared of you?"

"Jeremy said some stuff this morning. Like, me just wanting t lay her and all that crap" Tyler answers. Alex looks down at her lap before sneaking a look at Caroline, Bonnie and Matt.

"Well it's true Tyler. Leave my cousin alone and if not, I will knock your face in" just then time freezes. Alex looks behind her to see McGonagall.

"Drama already I see" Alex smiles and tackles McGonagall with a hug. Just then, Fred, George and Rose walk into the room.

"Before you three say anything, I know that your mission is to watch over me" Alex tells them and give each person a hug, "but right now I have class to go too" McGonagall takes them to Hogwarts for Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology and Potions. She even has to go to Care of Magical Creatures and Defence Against the Dark Arts.

~H&A~

Harry, Ron and Hermione are sitting in Transfiguration. Just then the door opens and Alex runs in and tackles her friends with a hug before sitting down in front of the two boys, who are sitting behind Hermione.

"What are you doing here?" Hermione asks with a smile, "We thought you are living in Mystic Falls, Virginia?"

"I am but dad and everyone came up with a plan, that McGonagall will use a time turner to go back in time so I can take my regular classes and magic classes" Alex smiles, "so I see you guys everyday and still go to normal school with Jer and Elena" Harry and Ron grins as Alex turns to them. She leans forward and kisses Harry gently, "and before you say anything harry, no I am not cheating on you. I made it perfectly clear that I have a boyfriend back at home" Harry smiles and nods.

"I will never cheat on you either" Harry kisses Alex gently before McGonagall interrupts the couple.

"As much as I am happy that you two found true love for each other, we have to begin class" McGonagall tells them. Alex rolls her eyes and shakes her head blushing.

~A&H~

As lunch arrives, Alex has 3 more classes to go to before she has to go back to Mystic Falls. She and Hermione are working on their Transfiguration essays, and that is before they have to do their Charms and Care of Magical Creatures homework. Alex still has Herbology, Defence Against the Dark Arts and Potions.

"So Snape is teaching DADA and this old guy is teaching Potions?" Alex asks as she reads her timetable.

"Yup. We were shocked too" Ron chuckles. Alex rolls her eyes and slips her schedule into her Hogwarts backpack that McGonagall gave her in Transfiguration. All her books are inside and McGonagall charmed it to make it endless and really light.

Alex eats the last bite of her sandwich and stands up.

"Come on. We have to get to Herbology" Alex tells them. Ron, Hermione and Harry stand up as Alex packs her homework.

Harry laces his hand with Alex's as they walk to class, that is when Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle stops them.

"Hello Dumbledore" Alex turns and groans.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Alex asks Malfoy.

"How is mortal school in Mystic Falls?"

"Really cool actually. My cousins make it really entertaining" Alex begins to walk away until Malfoy pulls her back and kisses her. Alex struggles and tries to push him back. Ron and Harry pull him off and Ron punches him in the face. Hermione pulls Alex to her and hugs her.

"You are really pissing me off Malfoy" Harry snaps before punching him in the jaw. Harry pulls Alex to him and shields her from Malfoy and his idiot followers. Ron and Hermione walks next to the couple.

"I'll see if I could go to The Burrow for Christmas" Ron, Harry and Hermione hears Alex's small, scared, shy voice.

"Do your cousins know about magic?" Hermione asks Alex as they walk to the greenhouses.

"No. My Aunt Jenna does and Elena's and Jeremy's mom and dad did. Aunt Miranda is my mom's sister and Aunt Jenna is Aunt Miranda's and mom's sister" Hermione smiles and nods, "Aunt Jenna got dad to make the basement my homework arrive for my magic homework"

"That's cool" Harry kisses Alex's temple, "I'm glad you like it there"

"I miss you guys so much though" the four of them stops walking and they all hug Alex tightly.

"We miss you too" Harry, Ron and Hermione says together. Hermione and Ron pulls away in time for Alex and Harry to kiss. Ron and Hermione smiles at each other before walking to the Herbology classroom, which is locked.

5 minutes later, Harry and Alex arrive. Harry leans against the wall and wraps his arms around Alex.

~H&A~

As they arrive to Potions, Harry whispers in Alex's ear.

"His name is Professor Slughorn" Harry tells her. Alex snorts and begins to laugh.

"Is he part slug?" Hermione and Ron laugh with Alex and Harry joins as well. After this class, Alex will have to go back to Mystic Falls High School and go to her classes.

All of them sit down in their chairs and Alex looks at the potion in the vial before sitting down.

"Liquid Luck" Alex tells them.

"Well done" Alex looks up to see Slughorn, "what's your name?"

"Alex Dumbledore" Slughorn's eyes grown wide.

"Wow, it's nice to meet you Ms. Dumbledore"

"You too sir. Could we start class? I have places to go and people to see" Slughorn nods and begins class.

~A&H~

As Alex arrives back at school, she takes her seat again before McGonagall puts the time turner back to its normal spot.

"Well it's true Tyler. Leave my cousin alone and if not, I will knock your face in" Jeremy threatens.

"Whatever" Tyler drags Vicki away and heads to wherever they go.

Just then the bell rings telling them lunch is over.

~H&A~

As Alex sits in the basement, she is doing her potions homework.

"3 drops of newt's blood" Alex cuts a newt's tail off and lets 3 drops of blood fall into her potion. Just then the door of the basement opens and Jenna walks in.

"Hey" Jenna smiles. Alex smiles back and reads the steps.

"Stir 4 times clockwise" Alex stirs her potion and grins when it turns purple; telling her it's done, "yes!" Alex puts some in a vial before flicking her wand, making her cauldron empty, "hi"

"Hi" Jenna laughs, "Elena and Jeremy were wondering if you're busy tonight?"

"Not that I know of. Why?"

"They wanted to know if you would like to go to The Grill with them"

"The Grill?"

"It's like a bar, but it's a restaurant and all teenagers go there to hang out"

"Oh" Alex nods, "I guess I could go. But I kinda have essays due tomorrow from Snape, McGonagall, Flitwick and Slughorn"

"Slughorn?" Jenna snorts, "Is he part slug?" Alex laughs.

"That's what I asked Harry, Ron and Hermione when I heard his name today" Jenna shakes her head.

"I still want to meet your boyfriend and best friends. Since I know that in time Elena and Jeremy are going to find out about you being a witch, we should invite them to dinner" Alex smiles and nods.

"Ok. If they don't, I will just tell them to act muggle ish"

"Muggle ish?"

"A muggle"

"What's a muggle?"

"A non magic person" Jenna nods.

"I get it now. Why didn't you just say that?" Alex shrugs her shoulders.

"You have to remember that I was raised in England and in the magic world" Alex smiles, "but I'm getting back on track" Alex's English accent slips out making Jenna laugh, "what?"

"Your accent came out half way through your little speech" Alex laughs and the two of them walks upstairs to the living room.

"Having fun?" Elena asks from the couch.

"Yup" Alex nods clearing her throat.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Just my accent came through downstairs" Alex's accent coming through again. Alex groans.

Elena begins to laugh as Jeremy walks in laughing.

"I heard the accent from upstairs" Jeremy laughs. Alex rolls her eyes and chuckles.

"Get used to it" Alex sticks out her tongue and smiles. Just then there is a knock on the door.

"I got it" Elena giggles. Alex hears Elena and Stefan's voices. Alex looks at Jeremy who grins.

"Wanna play match maker with me?" Jeremy asks Alex. Jenna shakes her head.

"I'll join" Jenna smiles.

"Me too" Alex grins and rubs her hands together.

"Wow. Me, Jeremy and Alex playing match maker together" Jenna taps her chin. Alex rolls her eyes once more.

"You should get used to it Aunt Jenna" Alex skips over to the door and sees Elena and Stefan talking, "hey guys. You ready to go?"

"Go where?" Stefan asks.

"To The Grill. You wanna come?" Alex smiles.

"Do you mind?" Stefan asks Elena. Elena playfully glares at Alex and shakes her head.

"You may come" Alex grabs her coat and passes Elena her's.

"COME ON AUNT JENNA AND JEREMY!" Alex calls to them. Jeremy and Jenna walks outside laughing as Stefan holds Elena's hand. Alex locks the door and tells Stefan to take Elena in his car and she, Jenna and Jeremy will meet them there. Alex slips into the passenger seat as Jeremy jumps into the back.

"Let the match making begin" Jenna smirks, along with Alex and Jeremy.

What do you think? Kinda amusing on how Jeremy, Jenna and Alex are playing match maker with Stefan and Elena right? : P
