The next morning, the group met at the train station to Hogwarts.
"How was it in Sirius' house?"
asked Remus, hugging the two friends. "You should have been there too. On the first day, Alexandria and Bellatrix were fighting in the fountain" Sirius said enthusiastically, thinking of the incident. Alexandria at that moment saw Bellatrix, who was looking at her angrily.
"Indeed" she replied while smirking. "Aren't we going to our wagon? We can spill all the gossip there" Remus suggested.

The group sat in their standard wagon, opposite the Black Sisters' wagon. They discussed everything there.
"I conclude that Sirius kisses better than all the Blacks" Remus joked. "Do you want test it, Moony?" replied to his boyfriend. Then, Remus nodded and kissed the young man. Alexandria, seeing all the two boys, rolled her eyes and took out her diary. As she went to take out the journal, her gaze fell on Bellatrix who was looking at the friend group with one of her eyebrows raised. Alexandria smiled at her but the girl ostentatiously ignored her.

"Lucy told me you have a game next week" Narcissa said, looking out the window.
"The truth is that I am a little anxious about the game. The Gryffindors are a tough opponent" replied the older sister, putting her hand under her chin. Narcissa took her sister's hand.
"I am sure that you will win. You have Lucious and Roddy, two of the best players in Hogwarts. And you, as a leader, are more skilled than Nott." added the younger sister.

Bellatrix blinked hearing the name of Alexandria from her sister. Now she had to deal with Alexandria face to face. Bellatrix turned her gaze to the girl who was writing something in her diary.
"This stupid diary" she thought, remembering some of the girl's poems. Alexandria looked up from the notebook and made eye contact with Bellatrix.
The atmosphere between them was strange.
She was neither intense nor calm.
It was just weird.
"I'm going to the restroom" said Bellatrix and left her wagon. After a few moments, Alexandria also got up from her seat and headed to the toilet.

She waited outside the toilets to talk to Bellatrix. She needed a discussion. Even a fight. She missed the friction she had with the dark haired girl. Bellatrix came out of the bathroom and was surprised to find the girl waiting for her outside.
"What do you want here?" asked Bellatrix. Alexandria smirked and approached the girl. "If I'm not mistaken this is a common area .... Isn't it?" replied the girl calmly and cornered Bellatrix.
"I told you I did not want to ...." Alexandria interrupted
"I do not remember you telling me not to use the bathroom"
"Are you spying on me now? You have nothing to do with your miserable life?"
Alexandria chuckled with Bellatrix's statement
"Are you talking about me spying when you were the one that spied? On my date with Regulus, in the woods when...."
Bellatrix did not want to hear more. She pushed the girl on top of her. Alexandria fell once on the opposite wall. The moment she pushed her, Alexandria fell on the ground due to the pain on her back.
Bellatrix approached her while Alexandria was still on the ground.
"I explained to you that nothing ever happened ... Do not bother me again because maybe this time I will hex you again"
Bellatrix said menacingly and left the bathroom. Alexandria slightly sat up from the ground, trying to understand exactly what had happened. She realized that Bellatrix would never express her feelings because she was coward or she thought Alexandria was playing with her feelings. She got up from the floor and went to a tap to wash her face.
She looked at herself in the mirror.
She straightened her hair and left. Alexandria had decided to end this story, ignoring Bellatrix and move on with her life normally.

As she was returning from the bathroom, he fell on Regulus.
"Alexandria" exclaimed the boy. Alexandria smiled faintly at the young man.
"Alexandria, you look a little pale. Are you okay?" asked the boy, obviously worried. "Shall I accompany you in your wagon?" he suggested, grabbing the girl by the shoulder. Alexandria nodded in agreement and the two of them headed for the wagon. There they found Sirius and Remus playing cards that Remus had bought from muggle world.
"What are you doing brother?" questioned Sirius without looking up at them. Regulus smiled softly and pointing to the girl to sit first. Alexandria thanked the boy and sat down.
"Why don't we all play all together?" Remus asked, picking up the deck.
"Of course" Alexandria said, and Remus began handing out cards to the other three.

Alexandria begged Bellatrix would be jealous that Regulus was sitting with her. However, she saw the girl not looking at them.

She thought so

After playing a few rounds, they finally reached at Hogwarts.
"I hope we have the opportunity talk again" Regulus said to the girl, kissing her hand and left the group.
Sirius was puzzled by the situation. "Did you tell me that you were not into my brother?"
"It's still true, Sirius"
"Then, what was all this?"
Alexandria laughed.
"Can't we be just friends with Reg?" she replied. Sirius did not answer while Remus was listening to the whole conversation.
"Well, we have to leave now" Remus stated, pointing to the exit.
Alexandria was smiling and nodded
"Let's go. James and Lily are waiting us"
