Ok, so I have had a VERY hard week. The best part though... well, it can't worse... until last night. My best friend passed away last night, doing something he loved. Playing basketball.
Next week I have exams. On Monday I have a Ancient History unit test, on Wednesday I have a Guitar written exam and Ancient History presentation, on Friday is my Physical Geography exam. Then on the 31st is my Guitar playing exam, and finally on the 1st is my Ancient History exam.
But at least it's coming to a close.
Here's the next chapter!
Chapter 41
Last Time:
As Alex punches Malfoy in the face, Harry pulls Alex off of him.
"Why do I keep saving you Malfoy?" Harry asks, "It's not like I care about you" Harry drags Alex back into the great hall, from the entrance hall.
They all sit down as Hermione bandages Alex's fist again.
"Will you ever learn Alex? You always get detentions for beating him up" Alex shrugs her shoulders.
"He needs to stop pissing me the fuck off!" Alex slams her head onto the table, "OWW!" Alex lifts her head and holds her forehead.
"Are you PMSing?" Ron asks, receiving a glare from Alex, "yup" Alex rolls her eyes.
"Get a life" Hermione mutters.
"It's creepy. You know when Hermione and I are PMSing" Alex rests her chin on her bandaged fist, "I agree with Hermy though. You need to get a life" Alex stands up and walks out with Hermione, and heads to Gryffindor tower as Dumbledore takes Elena, Jeremy and Jenna on a tour of the castle. Harry and Ron shrug their shoulders and follow the girls.
Now:
As Alex, Jenna, Jeremy and Jenna arrive home they see Bonnie standing on the front porch crying.
"Bon, what's wrong?" Elena asks Bonnie worriedly.
"Grams is dead" Bonnie sobs.
"Bonnie, you are staying here tonight. Come inside" Jenna tells her. Bonnie nods and Elena takes Bonnie to her room. Jeremy quickly heads up to his room, and Alex goes to the basement with Jenna.
Alex pulls out her book that she remembers reading about bring people to their spirit forms to say a final goodbye. Jenna sees Alex reading something from her Defence Against the Dark Arts textbook for this year. She looks over her shoulder and gasps.
"Are you going to tell Bonnie you're a witch?" Alex looks up.
"Well, Bonnie needs to say a real goodbye and get answers. This spell lasts a full 24 hours. I would just need a drop of Bonnie's blood and a special object of her Grams" Jenna smiles and kisses Alex's hair; "if Elena and Jeremy want me to, I could do the same thing with Aunt Miranda and Uncle Shane" Jenna nods.
"Ask them" Alex nods and leaves the room with Jenna following. Jenna runs a hand through her hair and sighs. She knows Elena and Jeremy needs to say a final goodbye. It's what everyone in the house needs.
~A&H~
Alex walks into Jeremy's room.
"Hey" Jeremy smiles looking at Alex from his computer chair. Alex walks over and shows him the page, "what does this mean?" Jeremy asks reading through the page 7 more times.
"It means that I could bring Aunt Miranda and Uncle Shane to their spirit form for 24 hours. You, Elena and Aunt Jenna could say a real goodbye and be able to move on and live life" Jeremy looks up at Alex with tears in his eyes.
"Would you be able to do it?" Alex nods.
"I'm going to learn how to do it in class tomorrow. If you and Elena want, and if it's ok with Aunt Jenna, you guys could come to my classes tomorrow. I'm sure dad already told you about it earlier" Jeremy nods.
"Ya, he said we are always welcome to come" Alex smiles, "are you going to do it for Bonnie?"
"That's actually what I want to ask. I know how to do this already. Dad and did it over the summer. But do you think I should tell her and do it for her?" Jeremy nods.
"Even though you two don't get along, I think it will help her" Alex nods.
"I will. I think I should tell her now" Alex picks up the book, and cuts through the connected bathroom, and walks into Elena's room, where Elena and Bonnie go completely silent.
"Hey" Elena smiles. Alex smiles back and climbs onto the bed and puts the book in the middle, "what are you doing?" Alex shrugs her shoulders and pulls out her wand.
Elena's eyes grow wide and before Elena could stop her Alex casts a spell.
"Lumos" Alex's wide lights up and Alex waves her wand making the room go black, and all that lights the room up is her wand. Bonnie's eyes are wide in shock. Alex looks at Bonnie.
"I'm a wizard Bonnie. Well, a witch at Hogwarts, but when I was at Wiztech, it's called a wizard. But whatever. Wizard, witch, same thing. I know you don't like me Bonnie, but you need to keep this a secret. I know you are having a hard time with your Grams. My mom died before I turned 1. She died October 31st, on Halloween. Same day, same time as my boyfriend's parents. But I have a question for you. Tomorrow I have to go to Hogwarts for my classes. I'm going to ask Aunt Jenna, if Elena and Jer could come. Would you like to tag along?" Bonnie looks at Elena. Elena smiles at her and nods.
"I think you would like it. It's REALLY cool" Elena tells her. Just then Jenna and Jeremy walk in.
"Elena, you and Jer are going with Alex. I am too. Bonnie, would you like to join?" Jenna asks Bonnie. Bonnie looks at Jenna and nods.
"Yes please" Jenna smiles.
"Good. Jer and I will leave you girls to talk. I know you have questions for Alex" Jenna closes the door after bidding the girls good night and walks out with Jeremy.
Alex looks at Bonnie, and sees her looking at her.
"Any questions?" Bonnie nods, "you may begin" Alex flicks her wand, making her Hogwarts photo album appear.
"How old were you when you knew you are a witch?"
"Since I was born. In England" Alex's English accent slips out, "you get your powers when you are born. There are different types of wizards and witches. There is the kind who is pureblood; both parents are magical, like mine. Then there are the half bloods. One parent is a witch or a wizard, and then other is a muggle"
"What's a muggle?"
"Like you, Elena, Jeremy and Aunt Jenna. Basically, non magic folk. Then there is the muggleborns. People who are born with no magic parents. There are more half bloods and muggleborns then purebloods. My boyfriend is more half and half since his mom is a muggleborn. My best friend Hermione is muggleborn. My best friend Ron is pureblood but his family is counted as 'blood traitors'. It is because his dad works at the Ministry of Magic and they like muggles and want to make friends with them. The wizarding world, don't mind that but purebloods don't. My dad and I, we don't care. My uncle is Voldemort, the darkest wizard in existence. He is at power and will be killing ALL half bloods, blood traitors and muggleborns. He ONLY will let the purebloods live, as long as they are on his side. He will try to kill my friends and my boyfriend. I will NOT let that happen"
Alex hands Bonnie the photo album, "Dad and my other teachers caught these moments in classes and took them with our knowledge" Bonnie and Elena looks through the photo album watching the same 4 people get older. Bonnie assumes that there's obviously Alex, that Ron guy, the Hermione girl and the guy that has black hair must be her boyfriend.
In the final picture, it's of Alex and the black haired boy kissing.
"Who is this?" Bonnie asks about the black haired boy. Bonnie and Elena got very amused with the photo album because the pictures moved.
"My boyfriend Harry. The red head in Ron and the girl is Hermione"
~H&A~
At Hogwarts the next day, since it is Friday. Alex walks into the castle with Jenna, Jeremy, Elena and Bonnie.
"So Stefan and Damon are vampires and here at the castle?" Elena asks Alex.
"Yup. They are the guards. And yes you can make out with your boyfriend during all my classes if you like" Alex teases. Elena rolls her eyes, "he doesn't drink human blood. He drinks animal blood. Damon drinks human blood. Alex pulls out 3 necklaces, a bracelet and 4 rings. She passes one to Elena, Jenna, Bonnie and Jeremy, "the rings bring you back to life. The necklaces and bracelet protects you from vampires" Jeremy slips the necklace on since Bonnie took the bracelet, "do not take them off"
"Do you have them?" Alex nods showing her necklace and ring.
"Every Hogwarts student has them. You get them when you are 11" Alex leads the way up to Dumbledore's office and walks in, "hey dad" Dumbledore and Alex hugs quietly, "this is Bonnie Bennett" Dumbledore smiles and nods at Bonnie.
"It's nice to meet another powerful witch" everyone turns to Bonnie shocked. Alex isn't too surprised since she is able to feel if another witch or wizard is near.
"You're a witch?" Elena gasps, "I thought we tell each other everything Bonnie! We are not friends anymore" Elena storms out of the room.
"I'll be back" Alex tells them and runs out. She catches Elena at the staircase. She grabs Elena's hand and pulls the older girl into a hug, "Would you like to come to my classes or see Stefan?" Alex whispers.
"I need you Ally" Elena sobs. Alex nods and pulls her to the statue. They sit down and Alex holds her cousin as Elena rests her head on Alex's shoulder, "what time is it?"
"They should be coming down for breakfast soon" Alex tells her rubbing her arm, "so around 8. Classes start at 9 and we go to Potions with Slughorn. Then it will be Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, lunch, Transfiguration, Defence Against the Dark Arts and Charms. Then it will be dinner" Elena nods, "I will ask dad and Aunt Jenna if you and I can stay here this weekend if you would like"
"Maybe even Jer?"
"Of course" Alex smiles, which Elena returns.
Neither of them realise Jeremy standing behind them smiling. He is going to ask Jenna before Elena and Alex.
And that is the chapter. What do you think? Please review guys!
