Yay! Happy Christmas :3 Time for cute evil idea, it's just to mix things up abit. Enjoy!
~Chapter 13~
It was now December, and soon students would be leaving for home, for Christmas. Alex, Hermione, and Ginny were upset they had to spend a Christmas without the usual Weasley clan. But they had each other and their new friends, so they were going to make the best of their predicament. Also Dumbledore had a 'great' idea, and now students were either doing their best to avoid the small little green plants hanging from the ceiling or happily letting themselves get caught.
Dumbledore's idea was letting loose enchanted mistletoe, and when any two students, of the opposite gender, moved underneath them, they would find themselves stuck until they, followed with tradition and kissed, or the enchantment wore off. They were better kissing because the enchantment wouldn't wear off until at least New Year's. To make sure they didn't get caught with someone else, the Marauders kept the girls close, Severus too made sure to walk Ginny to her classes.
It was now Friday, Sunday the students were leaving for home, Alex unfortunately found herself in the worst situation she could think of. That little green plant sat innocently above her head, tauntingly. 'Damn Dumbledore and his crazy ideas,' Alex screamed in her head. The one time she walked anywhere herself, without Sirius. With a sigh she looked to the tall wizard who was stuck with her. The Slytherin smirk placed upon his face seemed to grow with job at the evil green plant.
"It seems, Miss Dumbledore, there is only one solution to our problem." Lucius drawled, but there was a hint of happiness in it.
"That, Mr. Malfoy, would be entirely inappropriate," Alex retorted, growling slightly.
"Well then we are stuck here until the spell wears off," The blonde responded calmly, as he leaned up against the closest wall, "I'm sure it'll be a while and also, you may be Dumbledore's granddaughter, but I'm sure he still won't be able to lift the enchantment." Alex groaned, knowing he was right. She joined him against the wall. "There is also the fact we will miss dinner if we stay here too long." Alex growled at that.
"I'm not too worried, Lily, Hermione and Ginny will notice and make sure to grab something for me," Alex said, trying to convince herself more than Lucius. She closed her eyes, 'Damn it, he's right a kiss is the only way we are going to be free of this evil plant,' she sighed.
While Alex's eyes were closed, Lucius moved in front of her. The witches mahogany eyes snapped open when she felt his heat and his robe brush against her. She blushed, noticing that he had a hand on each side, blocking her from any escape route. She placed her hands to his chest to push him away, "What are you doing?" she asked, even though she knew the answer.
"We both know this is the only way, Alexandria," the Slytherin drawled, making Alex shiver. Out of fear or desire, she didn't know. The witch shook her head softly, looking away from Lucius's pale features. "It's only one kiss," His voice whispered into her ear, he then placed a kiss on her exposed neck, making Alex clutch tightly to his robes.
Alex saw him moved his one had off the wall and take hold of her chin gently, and just as gently he moved her head so she was looking at him. Her dark brown met his light sliver eyes; Alex was losing her ability to fight him fast.
Lucius leaned forward, not breaking the eye contact. 'I have her now,' he purred happily to himself. His lips were just barely brushing Alex's when she closed her eyes, signaling for him to strike. And he did, placing his lips firmly to hers. The kiss was fierce, but something inside Alex sparked causing her knees to buckle slightly. Alex moved her hands up Lucius's chest up into his long silky hair. Her action made the Slytherin groan and press himself into Alex more; he nipped at her bottom lip making her gasp. Lucius took full advantage of it, and deepened the kiss; his tongue explored her mouth greedly.
A grow that was neither Alex's or Lucius's caused the two of them to break apart, with Alex pushing Lucius away. Alex was bright red, looking shocked at what had happened, while Lucius had a hungry grin, and his eyes were dark with desire.
"Alex," someone growled, breaking the witch's trance of confusion. She looked up to the person.
"Sirius," she whispered breathily, she took a step towards him, hoping he didn't think she snogged Lucius because she wanted to. Sirius didn't say anything, he turned and walked away. "Sirius!" Alex yelled, as she ran after him.
Catching up to the dark haired wizard, she grabbed his arm, but he yanked it back. "May I help you, Miss Dumbledore?" Sirius asked coldly.
"Sirius, Please, let me explain," Alex said softly, she could feel tears prickling at her eyes.
"What is there to explain?" Sirius asked as his grey eye narrowed. "You should get back to your snogging. I should have known something was going on. Now I hope you have a nice day, Miss Dumbledore." The wizard spat out, not stopping to her Alex. When he turned to go, and Alex tried to stop him again, he snapped, "Don't touch me!" at her and disappeared down the hall.
Alex fell to her knees, tear streamed down her face. Lucius came up behind her and placed his own rob over her shoulders, "He should have listened to you," he whispered to her. Alex looked up at him, he mahogany eyes glittering, and then buried her face into his chest. The blonde rubbed her back soothingly.
"Why aren't you being snarky and stuff?" she asked between sobs. Alex was surprised he was being nice.
"Because that would not be helpful in this situation," Lucius smiled, "Would you like me to be snarky and scarcastic?" Alex looked up at him and shook her head. "I do think he should have listened to you, he has made a giant mistake." Lucius brushed a piece of hair out of her face.
"Thank you," Alex said softly smiling. Lucius returned the smile, and then stood up. He helped Alex up to her feet. "I should get to dinner, now." She muttered, wiping away her tears.
"Shall I escort you there?" Lucius asked using his thumbs to wipe the rest of her tears away, Alex only nodded. "Alright, let us go," he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and moved her in the direction of the Great Hall.
By the time the two of them got to the entrance, Alex was in control of her tears, but her eyes were still red and puffy. "Don't be bothered by that stupid Black," Lucius whispered into her ear, before he grabbed his robe, and gave her a bow, before he went into the hall. Alex stood outside for a bit longer, taking calming breaths. Once she thought she was calm enough, she entered.
Everyone was chatting happily and no one noticed her entering. Making her way to the Gryffindor table she took a seat next to Ginny, away from Sirius. They didn't see her until she started to dish herself some food.
"Alex!" Ginny said happily, "where were you? You just missed…" she stopped mid sentence when she noticed Alex's red puffy eyes. "What's the matter." She said with a motherly tone to her voice, which made Hermione look up when she heard it.
Alex kept her attention to her plate, "I'm fine," she muttered, not wanting the attention.
"Alexandria, you are going to tell me what's wrong," Ginny said, her tone reminding Alex strongly of her mother.
"It was just a misunderstanding, which got blown out of proportion." The dark haired with told her friend, looking up only to see Sirius give her a dark look then promptly look away. Alex felt fresh tears form. "I'll tell you about it later." She said as she placed her knife and fork down. "I'm not all that hungry now." Before Ginny or Hermione could say anything Alex was leaving the hall. Once outside she took off running for the tower. Past the fat lady's picture and up the stairs to the room she shared with Hermione and Ginny, and before she buried herself in her bed to cry, she placed the strongest wards she could.
Before heading up after Alex to the common room, Ginny heard from Severus about what had happened, Lucius told him to tell her. Upon hearing the story the red head wanted nothing more than to hex Sirius to tiny pieces, but Lily and Hermione held her back, telling her they should talk with Alex first. Finally getting up to the dorm room, Ginny was once again seething, trying her best to get back down the stairs to hex Sirius, while Hermione removed the wards Alex placed up. Once the last one was down, the three girls ran straight into the room.
"Alex!" Ginny cried out as she unburied her friend from the covers. Seeing her tear-stained face, the red head pulled the dark haired witch to her in a hug. "Would you like me to hex his arse to the next century?" Ginny asked seriously, making Alex give a small laugh, but she shook her head. So Ginny continued to hug her, rubbing her back soothingly.
"We heard from Severus," Hermione told Alex, "Malfoy told him to tell us when he saw you leave the hall." Both she and Lily joined Alex and Ginny on the bed.
"What did he tell you exactly?" Alex asked, hoping it was indeed the right story. She wasn't in the mood for more crap.
"Well, he told us that you and Malfoy accidently got stuck under one of Dumbledore's mistletoe. We all know the only way to break it is to kiss. Severus said that Sirius saw you two kiss," Hermione told Alex. "He also said that Sirius didn't wait for an explanation, that he assumed you were cheating on him." The brunette finished looking at her friend, hoping that it was the story.
"That's pretty much it," Alex sniffed, "I tried to get him to listen, but he was dead set to believe I was cheating. Stupid jerk," she growled, trying to stop the fresh tears, Ginny continued to sooth her back.
"We'll figure something out," Lily said calmingly, thinking all the ways she could, no would, hurt Sirius.
"It hurts though, to think that he doesn't trust me enough to think I would cheat, I didn't." Alex sobbed, "I only left before him so I could use the bathroom before dinner." She sighed as she curled herself on her bed.
"You should get some sleep," Lily told the crying witch, who returned it with a nod. "We'll figure it out, don't worry." And with a few sniffles later Alex quieted and was fast asleep. Hermione decided to stay with their distraught friend while Lily and Ginny went to talk with the boys.
