Are You Sure?

Alisha was able to beat Albus to their new room and didn't pay attention to anything except the the voice asking her the date in which she was born. Without looking at the new room she would be living in she entered her room and broke down in tear. Eventually the tears calmed and the sadness rocked her to sleep.

It wasn't until early morning that Alisha looked around her new living quarters. In her room it was set up just like her dream room would always look like. The bedspread was black with purple polka-dots. All her furniture was black, and she had her own personal fireplace which had a comfortable looking recliner. It was the perfect place to hide from Albus considering there wasn't anywhere else in this castle he wasn't allowed that she was also welcome.

She cleaned up in the joint bathroom the two heads were now forced to share, she was thankful she woke up early enough to avoid an awkward meeting. The common room was a place for any true Gryffindor. The couches were a beautiful shade of red and the curtains were a brilliant gold. The fireplace in here was much larger than her personal one, it was surrounded with large couches and a coffee table in the middle. By each door to the different dorm rooms were large desks fully stocked with parchment and quills. The rest of the walls in the room were filled with books. Upon further inspection there were all kinds of books, muggle fairy tales, wizarding children stories, along with history books from both muggle and wizarding past.

Alisha could hear movement coming from what could only be Albus' room. Quickly she grabbed her things and headed to breakfast. As she planned the great hall was completely deserted. A loud pop that echoed in teh vacant room sounded and she turned to find her too favorite creatures in the entire world.

"Good morning Kreacher, Good morning Winky, how was your guy's vacation?" She looked down at the two house elves and finally felt at home. Even after all the students turned their backs on her, not everyone stopped talking to her; she had the two house elves and Hagrid. The teachers loved her too.

"The Potters are ever kind to us." Winky squeaked. "But tell us about you, Ms."

"My Aunt is still trying to 'make it up to me' and I had no contact with anyone what-so-ever" She smiled though, she was with her friends.

"The youngest Master Potter has been asking of you" Kreacher croaked with a wise and knowing look in his old eyes.

"What are you implying exactly?" But the house elf never got to reply, with the sound of incoming students they had to return to the kitchens and once again Alisha was left alone.

Food appeared on top of the long tables and she began to fill her plate with a large portion of whatever was within her reach.

"I figured you were the type to rise early, I'm glad I found you." Donny sat down once again on the opposite side of the table. "Now, I realized that you don't have many friends, but it is custom to tell your new friend your name. Otherwise I'm going to have to make up my own and you might not like what I come up with."

"Why are you here? You have obviously noticed that I'm not the type to keep company and if you want to make any friends here you should be talking to somebody else. Make a proper name for yourself." She was angry, not because he wouldn't leave her alone, but because he didn't understand exactly what he was doing by sitting next to her.

"You don't think I'm making a name for myself?" He actually laughed at this. "I'm sitting next the one girl everyone is afraid of. I'll be honest here, I knew everything about you before I sat next to you last night. I'll be honest, you intrigued me. The girl who single handedly enter the hearts of the entire Potter-Weasley family and nobody know how or why, but now they can't even seem to look at you."

"So what, you want to befriend the Potter family, because trust me, I'm not the best way to do that. Now if your goal is for everyone to know your name, that is certain. By the end of the day everyone will know your name and be asking what is wrong with you for wanting to be my friend."

"Honestly, from what I have heard, I don't think that any of this is your fault. No, by the look in your eyes, he broke up with you didn't he?"

"How did yo-" But he cut her off.

"But you still love him, I can see that you pretend to be someone you're not. Quite honestly I hate the guy, but I want to help you. Whether you go back to him is up to you, but there is a small spark in you, and while everyone else has given up on you since your fall from the war hero's good graces, I'm not giving up on you."

"Well, 'friend' I would finally give you my name, but based on the background check you did on me, you probably already know." She smiled at him and turned back to her breakfast.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Albus woke up with a smile that only lasted long enough for him to remember it was naught but a dream. She had run away from him yesterday and let's not forget her new friend. Rumors had already begun to spread that they were dating, but he knew better than anyone not to believe what people said. As he got up he could faintly hear the portrait door close.

Breakfast wouldn't be served for over half an hour so she must be visiting Kreacher. Funny how she thinks he doesn't know about it. Not to sound too creepy but he knew everything she did. Kreacher had come to him after Christmas break when they first broke up. He flat out told him that if Albus wouldn't allow him to still speak with her then Kreacher would demand clothing. Albus was more than willing to allow the old house elf what he wanted, it was another way he could ensure her safety.

On his walk down to breakfast, people flocked him was usual. Rose eventually found him and they talked casually as they made their way down the stairs. Scorpius was already waiting for them in the great hall and if something else hadn't caught his eye, he would have seen a very interesting sight of someone trying to leave Scorpius side in a hurry.

However, something interesting did catch his eye. The new kid was there again, by her side. Not knowing what to think he tried to look away, he would have to find out more about him. Obviously the poor kid hadn't heard of who she was in the eyes in this school. He would leave her once he found out and she would be alone again. If he stayed though, that kid would earn all of Albus' respect.

As he sat down for his morning meal just as the post arrived. He searched the sky for his parent's bird which they usually sent with a letter for both him and his sister. While Dragon was supposedly the family owl his father would always say that it wasn't his owl and he only borrowed it from the rest of them. After his first owl died, he swore to never again own his own owl.

Dragon dropped in front of him with the standard two letters. Automatically his sister reached for her letter and then left to head off to class. Discarding the letter for later, he too headed to class with his friends.
