Chapter 22

Summer almost over and everyone was starting to get ready for school. Roxanne was said that Fred had graduated. She was supposed to take his place at knowing everything going on. It was hard, and Fred's replacement for Ellianna was nice. It was so much work though. How did her brother do all of this?

"Roxanne, you're like me, a seer. That's a big way I knew everything, but even with that being true, don't be mean or distant from your men who will give you everything. It's how I got most of my information and they know to go to you now. I really think you are a seer. I've seen you using your powers before. Let me train you." Fred said.

"A ?" Roxanne asked.

"You just have concentrate on the future. Think really hard," Fred said.

Roxanne thought really hard, "James is going to get into a fist fight with Alek,"she said.

There were soon yelling. James' voice could be heard yelling,. Roxanne blinked. "Did I just predict that?"

"Yep. See I know you can do it. Just work on it and you'll be fine. You'll be perfect for replacement at the school," Fred said with a smile. "But we should probably break up James and Alek fighting."

The two ran down the stairs and found James with his wand against Alek's neck. "I knew you were a bad person. I should kill you right now, but I won't. I'll wait until dad gets here,."

"I don't understand what you're talking about. I didn't do anything wrong," Aek said.

"James, stop it!" Albus said, getting in the middle of the two.

"He has dark magic books! He shouldn't have them!" James yelled.

"They were my parents. I look as much as I could. I didn't know I grabbed some dark magic books," Alek said, looking uneasy and cornered.

"I don't believe you,"James said, not moving the wand, even with Ablus trying to get him away.

"Please, stop this. Alek's not a dark wizard." Albus said, fear and panic in his vouce.

"What's going on here? Lily said you -"

"Dad, I found dark magic books in Aleks's stuff," James cut his father's off.

"Why did you go through his things?" Harry asked.

"I had to make sure he didn't have anything illegal," James said.

"You shouldn't have gone through his things. Now, what's this about dark magic?" Harry asked.

"There's dark magic books in his things," James protested.

"They were my parents. I just grabbed somethings that belonged to my parents and some of my stuff, but book were something I could just grab. I didn't know they were dark magic. I just know they belonged to my parents," Alek said. "Please don't take them away. I don't have much left from from them"

"It's alright Alek, you can keep the books. I'll write something up saying you cane have them,"Harry said. He turned to James. "Don't go through people's things anymore."

James huffed. "Fine. I still don't like this,"

"I'm sorry to cause trouble James," Alek said. James finally moved his wand away from Aleks' neck.

"Don't think I'm going to stop looking for your to slip up and then I'll prove you're a dark wizard.," James said.

"But I'm not a dark wizard so you won't find anything," Alek said, moving a way from Alek and over to Albus.

"That's right. How can you say Alek is a dark wizard when his family was murdered by dark wizards. It's horrible to say he's a dark wizard too," Albus said, his voice shaky. As he never talked back to James.

James looked shocked. "You talking back to me?"

"No-I-"

"Yes. Someone has to stand up to you. You're going to a teacher, but you have to trust your students you can't go around thinking they're all dark wizards," Alek said.

"I won't let that get in my way. I know. I know all my students aren't dark lords, I know not all Slyherins are bad," James said. "I can be an indifference with my student. I won't play favoritism. That includes my family. I won't treat them any better than the rest of the students. I know what I'm going as a teacher. I'm going to be a great teacher."

"If you say so," Alek said. "I'll believe it when I see it."

'"You're a really a prat you know that?" James said. "You're lucky I can't hit or hex students, or soon to be students."

"Like I'd let you do it. I'm good with a wand you know," Alek said.

"You want to have at it?" James asked. "No one will care if I fight you if you if you start the fight."

"I have no reason to fight a low life like you. I don't know why I'm wasting my breath on you," Alek said. "I should get back to Albus. I'll tell him how upset you've made me. I'm sure he'll like you even less that he does now."

"Are you trying to break us apart?" James asked. "I wont let that happen. I love Albus just as much as you do. I wont let you take him away from me."

"It's a little too late for that. He's already distrustful of you. You pick on him and give him grief. It's no wonder he comes to me for support. Why he comes to me for support and not you? Doesn't that upset you?"

"Albus knows he can come to me if he needs to,"James said.

"But he won't. He doesn't trust you like he trusts me. He would rather come to me rather than you." Alek said. "At least Lily still counts on you."

"Damn it. Why don't you go back to Albus if you care about him so much. I won't lose him to you. I'm family and family is most important,"James protested.

"If you say so," Alek said. "I will go back to Albus." Alek left.

"James, are you having problems with Alek?" Dominique said.,walking over to him with Roxanne.

"I just had a bad feeling about him,"James said. "He's trying to separate me and Albus. I don't like it at all. Keep an eye him. I don't know what he thinks he's doing, acting like we don't mater.''

"Why would he want to isolate him like that?" Roxanne asked.

"Isn't that a form of abuse?"Dominique asked."Isolationism

"You think that Alek is abusing Albus?" Jame asked. "I should stop them from dating right away. I won't let anyone abuse my brother.''

'"I wouldn't rush into things. Just because he wants to spend time with Alek doesn't mean there's anything wrong. Alek is s still having trouble dealing with the death of his family. It makes sense that Albus wants to be closer to Alek with everything going on with him, with his famiy being killed. He probably just doesn't want to lose Albus," Roxanne said.

"I guess that makes sense,"James said.

"I wouldn't worry about it,"Dominique said. "I'm sure Alek wouldn't abuse Albus."

"I hope you're right," James said.

"You weren't fighting with my brother were you?" Albus asked.

"No. We were just having a discussion that's all." Alek said.

"Ah okay,"Albus said. The two were laying in the bigger bed in the room, just cuddling. "I want you to get along with my family, especially James. I want everyone to get along. I love my family,"

"I know and I would never want to break you away from them,"Alek said, hugging Albus close. "I want you be with your family, even if someone of them are rather odd. Like what's witih Roxanne and Dominique?"

Albus laughed. "Those two have always been close. I don't know why they act like they're in love with each other. I don't understand it at all."

"Well that makes two of us," Alek said.

"What do you think about James teaching?" Albus asked. "I don't think it's a good idea. James can't know enough to teach that class, or any class."

"I don't know why they picked James as DATDA's teacher. I don't understand," Alek said. He shook his head. "I'm sure he'll be able to do stuff, but not as well as a more experience would be better."

"Did they know about James' little army?" Albus asked. "That's why he got the job right?"

"Yeah that make sense. If someone knew about that, then they know who was in it and could target them,'' Alek said.

"That would be bad," Albus said.

"I know it is. I really don't like this. There also hasn't been any attacks since the ministry attack. I don't think they just quiet. I think they're waiting for something to happen. You'd think they'd attack while your dad was still injured. It doesn't make any sense."

"Yeah it would make sense to attack while everyone was still recovering from the first attack,"Albus said.

"What could they be waiting for?"Alek asked.

"I don't know. It would be nice if it were just a one time attack, but I don't think that's the case. I guess all we can do is wait," Albus said. "I don't like that. I don't like waiting for an attack to happen. It's scary. I don't want anyone close to me to die."

"I know. Death is scary for everyone. No one likes death, but it's something that always happens sooner or later. I hope no one close to you die" Alek said, sadness in his voice.

"I'm so sorry. It still must be so hard with your family died,"Albus said."You can talk about it with me if you want to."

"There's nothing to talk about. They're dead. I don't want to talk about them,"Alek said.

"It still much hurt-"

"I said I don't want to talk about it," Alek cut in.

"Alright. Alright," Albus said. "I'm sorry I've said anything."

"No, it makes sense for someone to be upset over the death of their family. I just don't want to talk about it," Alek said.

"I understand," Albus said. "I love you."

"I love you too. I don't think I could handle things without you," Alek said.

"School starts soon. It'll be nice to see some friends. We'll have quiddich this year."

"Yeah quidditch should be fun. We're both good at it."

"We'll win this year right?" Albus asked.

"Of course we will" Alek said.

"Let's get some rest. It's getting late," Albus said.
