IV

Alexa Malfoy

I opened the diary I had stolen (prefer using the word borrowed) from my brother Scorpius. It was my father's old diary. My brother found it last summer in the basement. It was pretty thick, completely black and was written by my dad after the Second Wizarding War. My father never realized Scorpius took it. Scorpius and I fought over it before we entered school but unfortunately (for me) he ended up keeping it…until I borrowed it recently.

I was sitting on my bed with a blanket over me and closed curtains. "Lumos," I whispered while I pointed my wand at the book. A shiny light emerged from the tip of my wand.

Day One

The dark lord has been defeated. Many lives were lost at the battle and many Death Eaters were caught and sent to Azkaban. Thankfully our family wasn't taken. We were forgiven by the ministry but now everyone sees us cowards. My father has left us, all he said before leaving was that he was sorry. My mother and I are doing all we can though she can't get a proper job and I am way more useless. It's been about a month since the last fight and we still haven't gotten any progress though the Greengrass family surprisingly has helped us a lot.

I continued reading for a few more minutes then when I noticed I was too tired I placed the book under my pillow and lost myself in the land of dreams.

The next morning I headed to breakfast then towards the Quidditch field. It was the day of the tryouts and I (along James) needed to find the team some new talent. We needed two new chasers since both of last year chasers graduated. I arrived at the field and found James already there.

"You're late," he smirked. I hated that smirk, why was he always so cocky?

"Actually I am early," I told him. I noticed he was sweating though he didn't look tired. "Running?"

"Yeah, I like running in the mornings," he explained. "It helps me think."

"James Potter thinks?" I joked.

He laughed. "Let's get everything ready."

Once again James surprised me. It was really weird but he was acting so…nice lately. I looked at him waiting for him to say some stupid joke about me or something but he never did he simply got the Quidditch items on the field and started getting everything ready for the tryouts. Soon, gryffindors started joining the field. They were quite a few about 20 or 25 and they all wanted the two chaser positions though some of them seemed to just be joining because of James. I mean, James literally had a fans club.

"Alright," I said as James joined my side. "If any of you are here to see James you can leave. He won't kiss or date any of you and no he will not take his shirt off."

James laughed at my announcement which actually did work and made five young girls leave. I mean James is quite fit. He has strong arms and I bet anything that he has a six pack. "Don't get jealous love," he whispered at my ear which simply made me glare at him then I continued my speech.

"As you have all heard, we are looking for two new chasers and some substitutes. We are looking for team players not some idiot who can do really fancy moves with his broom." I told them. "Alright everybody, let's get started!"

I told all of them to run some laps which got plenty of whines by some of them. I instantly knew those weren't the teammates we were looking for. After about 10 laps I told them to do to grab their brooms and begin flying. I recognized a few of them. Roxanne Weasley, Lily Potter, Hugo Weasley and like three others I've seen before around the Potter-Weasley family. After a couple of Quidditch exercises we started a small game of Quidditch. Lily and Roxanne were by far the best which surprised me a little because they were young. Lily was just in her second year but flew like a professional and Roxanne too. We continued the tryouts and after an hour we gathered everyone. I grabbed James and walked a short distance from the rest so we could talk privately.

"What do you think?" I asked him.

"Lily and Roxanne were the best," he answered. "Mathew Kirk, Hugo and Jack Wilson were also pretty good though Hugo plays better as a keeper, Mathew has the arm of a beater and Jack can make a good substitute for a chaser."

"I agree," I told him and so then we decided. We walked back towards the group.

"Alright, we have decided." James announced then said the five names. "We can't pick the five of you so three of you will be reserves."

"Lily Potter and Roxanne Weasley," I said.

"That's not fair!" whined a fourth year girl then pointed at James. "You clearly chose them because they're your family!"

James was about to talk but I interrupted him. "We chose them because they were the best so back off sore loser."

"What she means," James told her. "Is that you were all good but they were the best and no I swear by Albus Dumbledore's grave that we didn't chose them because they are friends or in my case family."

The girl simply glared at then walked away. The others also left leaving us with the five.

"So what exactly do we do as reserves?" Matthew asked.

"You play in case someone gets injured or something like that," James told him. "Don't get upset I was part of the reserves in first year."

Way to make a fourth year feel better James. I simply patted them in the back then told them they were all dismissed. The five of them left which left me alone. James and I started cleaning up.

"Those were some nice moves Malfoy," James said after a couple of minutes of silence. Was that a compliment?

"Thanks," I replied. I looked at him wondering what had gotten into him. He's been very strange lately and actually very nice to me. He hadn't even pulled a prank on me since we got that detention and the dating rumor didn't seem to bother him. Something was definitely going on with the boy. "So what is it?"

"What is what?" He looked at me confused.

"Why are you being so nice to me lately?" I asked at him. "I mean we have never gotten along for the past five years all we've ever done is fight and suddenly you are acting like I am your friend or something."

"I don't know," he said. "I just don't see the point in fighting anymore. I mean that's all we done for the past couple of years and I feel like we should start this year differently."

I looked at him with a shocked expression. Since when did James didn't see the point in fighting? I mean the boy all ever did was fight with me, not seeing the point in fighting is like not seeing the point in talking to me. "So?"

"Friends?" he asked.

"I swear if this is a joke or something I am going to kill you Potter," I said seriously.

"I promise it's not a prank," he said with a serious expression.

"Ok then," I looked at him waiting for him to say something.

"James Potter," he extended his hand.

I took it. "Alexa Malfoy, pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is mine," he smirked then ruffled his black and messy hair. Something about that always seemed to annoy me.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Let's go before someone says we're snogging out here."

"You would enjoy that wouldn't you?" he laughed when I glared at him. That boy was never going to change.

"Keep wishing Potter," I smiled. This time it was my turning to mock him. "I mean you're the one that flirted with me when we were in our first year."

He blushed which made me laugh. "Don't get nervous Potter."

"Call me James," he smiled.
