Hogwarts The Next Generation: A New Beginning

CHAPTER TWELVE: Suspicions

CHAPTER TWELVE: Suspicions

Merlin this was hard. I didn’t know what to do; I guess I’ll just leave it to McGonagall’s speech later tonight, but what about the research? I know, I’ll say we can’t go since there’s a Death Eater on the loose, but we can’t we need this… I guess we’ll have to break the rules… As I was deep in thought, McGonagall broke me from my trance.

“I see you do not want to be informed of your true identity Ms. Tonks?” she said, I looked up at her and nodded

“Yes Professor,” I whispered “if you please-“but before I could finish

“Yes of course, I completely understand.” She said “But you must know that it isn’t our parents identity that sets us apart it is ourselves.”

I just nodded, she had a point I am who I am.

“It doesn’t matter if you use your current last name as I see, you are who you believe you are, and I can see that the real you Ms. Tonks isn’t a bad person.” I smiled weakly at what McGonagall said and she smiled back “Now I know Malfoy and Potter are worried and trying to find you, you may go now Ms. Tonks.” I smiled weakly once again at the professor and headed for the door, I looked back at her

“Thank you Professor.” I said softly, she nodded and I went out. When I got out, not many people were passing by, and I realized that I must’ve looked like a mess. I headed towards a nearby comfort room, James and Scorpius might be in the common room, so I decided to fix myself up somewhere else. I quickly ran to the comfort room the September warm breeze on my face. Just a few more days and it was October, time flies really fast.

I got into the bathroom and saw that I was a mess like how I thought; my long, wavy black hair was a mess sticking out at the oddest places. My Grey eyes looked torn and my light skin was sticky with tears. I washed my face and flicked my wand over my hair to fix it up, I tied the upper half of it into a ponytail and let the other half fall down on my back, the weather was quite hot and well the thickness of my hair wasn’t helping. When I looked clean and good as new, I got out of the bathroom and realized that it was free period. I thought of where to find Scorpius and James, and decided to head for our usual spot under the tree by Black Lake. As I was heading there my guess was right. James and Scorpius were there under the tree trying to practice I think, but James looked like he was being moody.

“C’mon James, we know where Alexia is, it says on the map she’s with McGonagall,” I heard Scorpius say

“I know, let’s just get her and let’s practice.” Argued James, but before Scorpius could retort I butted in

“I’m right here guys.” I said and the two looked up

“Alexia!” Both of them greeted and hugged me, James hugged me quite longer than expected

“Why were you with McGonagall?” Scorpius asked letting go

“Yeah,” said James still hugging me “We were worried sick about you!”

Scorpius rolled his eyes “James mate I think that’s enough.”

“James, let go can’t breathe.” I said and James let go of me and smiled sheepishly

“Oh yeah, er sorry about that.” He said looking away, Scorpius rolled his eyes

“So why were you with McGonagall?” Scorpius asked bringing it up again,

“Yeah, or Minnie as the map calls her.” James added

Oh great here goes nothing

“Nothing she just got curious as to why,” I thought of something good “I was always in the library.” Smooth Alexia, smooth.
