Hey sorry for the wait, I haven't had too much time during class to write lately, but here it is finally! ^^ Thank you everyone for reading and reviewing!!! 3
Mystical Beings: sorry for the confusion, I meant to 'Alex tried to catch the timeturner before it turned too much.' (if that makes any sense) and Thank you!
8thweasleykid- a little more a bit about Alex in this chapter, but what Sirius has to do about it might be in chapter 4. ^^
.Black- Hehe ^.~ she has her ways like all girls do XD
AnnaMarie Acidic- there will be a little snape in this ^^ and I do agree he really is a sexy greaseball XD
Adv. reader- Thanks, I thought it would be more interesting if it wasn't just Hermione, because that's what everyone does when writing timeturner stories.
Thanks for reading and continue reviewing. Now enjoy the chapter!
~Chapter 3~
Once they arrived at the common room the girls said good night to the Marauders and headed up to their dorm, and slowly changed into their pajamas. After a few 'Good Night's they drifted off to sleep.
Alex was the first awake the next morning. Stretching, she made her way to the bathroom to take a shower. She removed her pajamas, which consisted of a tank top and shorts, and turned on the shower head on warm. Stepping in she sighed as the water ran down, loosening her muscles. After washing her short black hair, she stepped out and quickly towel-dried herself and her hair. She exited the bathroom, wrapped in the towel and saw Ginny was awake, "Good Moring," she said to the red-head as she went to her bed to grab her robes and get dressed for the day. Ginny just nodded as she went to the bathroom the get ready.
Alex got dressed into her uniform, and made sure everything was perfect before she put on her make-up, which only consisted of eyeliner, mascara, and a little lip gloss. Ginny came out of the bathroom, ready for the day her hair was put up in a neat messy bun and she had on a light layer of make-up. She looked over at Hermione, who was still fast asleep, "Guess we should wake her up," Ginny said, sighing. "Well, she will get pretty pissed off at us if we don't and she misses breakfast." Alex replied as she stood up and walked over to the sleeping brunette, who was curled up under her scarlet covers. Alex leaned down and shook her friend slightly, "Mione it's time to wake up," she told her, but all she did was mutter something and turn the other way. Alex sighed and looked to her red head friend, who quickly went to her trunk with a mischievous smirk on her face.
"Um… Mione you might want to wake up, otherwise Ginny is going to use the whistle on you," Alex told the sleeping brunette loudly. Hermione just grabbed her pillow and brought it over her head. Alex only sighed, "I warned you." Ginny came back to the bed with a grin that could rival the Cheshire cat's, she tossed Alex a small baggie, which contained ear plugs. Alex swiftly placed them into her ears and gave Ginny a small nod telling her she was ready. The redhead returned the nod before she brought the silver whistle to her lips; she took a deep breath before blowing on it and letting out the shrill noise. Hermione jumped in her bed grabbing the sides of her head trying, but failing, to block the noise.
"I'm up, I'm up!" Hermione tried to yell over the whistle. Ginny stopped blowing and smiled at her friend, and Hermione gave a content sigh as the noise was gone. Chocolate brown eyes glared at the two girls beside the bed. "I warned you," Alex told her sternly. Hermione sighed again and then stretched out on her bed.
"Better get up, breakfast will be soon," Alex told Hermione, taking out the ear plugs. Hermione nodded, then got up and went to the bathroom to get ready. Ginny took that time to hide the whistle inside her trunk.
Hermione came out of the bathroom a few minutes later ready to go. The three girls exited their room and walked through the common room, where there were a few sleepy Gryffindors in it. They exited through the portrait and made their way to the Great Hall.
Upon entering the hall, Lily waved the girls down quickly. "Good Morning!" Lily said cheerfully. Each one nodded a good morning and joined Lily at the table.
"I can't wait for classes to begin," Hermione said excitedly as she dished out some food for herself, Alex sighed in agreement. Lily smiled widely, "Yeah, I can't wait either!"
"I quite agree with you ladies," Remus showed up and was sitting down next to Hermione. He smiled at Hermione, as the rest of the Marauders joined the girls also. Sirius slipped in next to Alex before she could say anything and James said down next to Lily, who in return glared at him then ignored him. "So Lily, will you go out with me?" James asked Lily smiling. "No," was all Lily said, the dark haired boy sighed then started to talk with Remus and Hermione. Alex looked to her new friend, who had a small mischievous smile; Alex made a quick note to herself, to talk with her later.
A few minutes into breakfast, McGonagall came around handing out the schedules to the Gryffindors. Alex scanned hers, today was double potions with the Slytherins, of course. Hermione reached over and grabbed the schedule out of her hand, "Hey!" she looked up to see that the brunette also took Ginny's schedule and was comparing the three. To Alex's right Sirius began to complain, "We have to deal with those damn Slytherins for potions again," he groaned, Alex laughed.
"Are you laughing at me?" Sirius teased Alex by snaking his arm around her waist, but before he could Alex stood from her seat. "I-I'm going to stop by the library before class," she said hurriedly and slightly unsure, but she quickly grabbed her schedule from Hermione and left. Sirius watched confused as she left.
"I never thought I'd see the day a girl deny you, Padfoot." James joked slightly.
A soft sigh came from Hermione and Ginny, "Black, I have a question for you," Hermione said looking hard at Sirius. He slowly took his eyes off the entrance of the Great Hall, where Alex just left, and looked at Hermione, "I want to know if you are just flirting to get to her…" The brunette paused, thinking of how to word what she wanted to say, "What Mione is trying to say is, don't hurt Alex." Ginny cut in, "Don't just flirt with her, if you're not serious. She really doesn't need that. She…" the red head trailed off, not knowing if she should say anything more. "Anyway, let's just say any guy, not just you, Black, will hear from us if she gets hurt." Hermione finished, "not that much will be left after Alex gets a hold of the guy."
"What happened?" Sirius asked softly, the other Marauders and Lily looked at the two girls curiously. Hermione and Ginny looked at each other, and then Hermione answered, "It's not our story to tell," was all she said.
"We should head down to the dungeons for potions now," Lily said, breaking the silence, everyone nodded in agreement and stood to leave, everyone except Sirius. James stopped noticing this, "You coming, Padfoot?" He asked his best friend.
"No," he said, "I um… not finished eating," he lied, James didn't believe him, but didn't say anything about that.
"Alright, just don't be late though." James gave his friend a pat on the back and a smile, then left to catch up with the others. Sirius sat there for a while deep in thought, mindlessly pushing his food around on his plate. He slowly stood up with a sigh and left the great hall to his most hated class; his thoughts on a certain black haired girl.
'Damn it!' Alex cursed to herself while running through the halls, 'I'm late.' She reached the room and entered quietly, "Excuse me?" she said softly. The entire class turned to look at her.
"Thanks for being able to join us, Miss Dumbledore," A younger version of Professor Slughorn stood at the front of the classroom. "Come, come, there is a seat open right here next to Mr. Malfoy," he pointed to a seat in the front of the classroom. Alex just nodded and took her seat.
"Alright then class, today I'll be telling you about some different potions that you shall be learning about this year and about their uses. Later on you shall be starting one of them," Slughorn told the class after Alex took her seat. A note fluttered on to her desk as she was taking out her ink, quill, and notebook. Alex looked over her shoulder, curious as to who sent the note; she noticed a mischievous smile coming from a certain fiery red head. Sighing softly Alex opened the note and read the cute messy writing of her friend:
'Why were you late? What happened, your eyes are red?
Oh, and you have to sit next to Lucius Malfoy, Ha!
Love you forever, Ginny.'
Alex gave another sigh after reading the note, and then gave Ginny a glare. She quickly wrote a reply: 'Tell you later.' She sent it back to the red head. She turned to see Ginny reading the note she looked up and gave Alex a nod. Alex quickly tried to place her attention to the professor, but Alex's mind wasn't on potions at the moment, she was actually thinking of the past/future. She sighed softly and shook her head, to bring her attention to Slughorn; who was, at the moment, talking about the polyjuice potion. She smiled at the memories of Hermione's accident as she jotted down notes and ignored the looks she was receiving from the person next to her.
Professor Slughorn came to a conclusion of his speech, and they were now going to start a potion with the person next to them. "You all are going to do as much as you can then I shall place a stasis charm upon your cauldrons so you can continue next class." Professor Slughorn said, as he wrote the page number where they can find the recipe for the potion. "Good luck with making your Veritaserum. Best get started right away." After saying that, the talking and sounds of the students going to get ingredients filled the room.
Ginny quickly opened her book to the page with the list of ingredients and gave a happy sigh. She looked towards the person she would be working with, he was a Slytherin. He was pale with dark raven hair that went down a little past his chin. He looked up at Ginny, he had dark eyes and a crooked nose, Ginny gave him a smile, "I guess we'll be working together," she said simply, "I'll go get the ingredients we'll need." He looked at her strangely, and then nodded softly. As Ginny left, he got the cauldron set up.
Hermione came back to her desk with ingredients and smiled at Remus, "Let's get to work!" she said happily. Remus laughed, "Yes, let's."
The sleek haired Malfoy returned to the table and placed the ingredients down. He gave a smirk to his beautiful partner, normally any girl, after receiving his famous smirk, would have drooled at the sight of him, but Alex completely ignored him. "Shall we start, Malfoy?" Alex asked, not expecting a reply.
"You can call me Lucius, you know," the blond sat back down in his seat and opened his book up to the potion's recipe.
"Start mincing up those roots, Malfoy," Alex pronounced his name clearly. She gave him a small glare, "make sure they are even." She quickly got to work.
Just before the bell rang Professor Slughorn went around and did the stasis spell on their cauldrons. Ginny was talking about different potions with her partner, who introduced himself as Severus Snape. Lucius hadn't stopped flirting with Alex, who was doing her best to completely ignore him, but he was getting on her nerves. Sirius sat on the other side of the room sitting next to James, who of course asking Lily if she would go out with him. Rolling his eyes at his best friend he turned to see another one of Lucius Malfoy's attempt at Alex. Once the bell rang, Alex was out of her seat and out the door first, with Lucius right behind her. Sirius quickly grabbed his stuff and went after the two.
