Beautifully Forbidden

Chapter Two

Alexa's P.O.V.

For months after our gazes met for the first tine I couldn't get him out of my head. He became my full-time obsession. All I thought about was him; the light green shade of his eyes, his black messy hair, the confused expression on his face, his ugly, half-broken, circular, black glasses, the scar on his forehead.

When the second year finals were canceled I was disappointed, I wanted to talk to him, get a glimpse of his eyes again because I was starting to forget the exact shade, I wanted to see if he had changed. Tom noticed I was upset about the finals being canceled so he made me study and created his own exams that I took for 'fun'. I aced them but it was harder than what I had expected and I couldn't tell him that I was upset because I wanted to talk Potter, he'd kill me.

In third year I was so happy when I learnt that we would take exams, they were hard but I managed to get a perfect score on all of them but most importantly I managed to talk to him, he had changed a lot since he was eleven; he looked more mature, he was taller, but his eyes hadn't changed at all, neither had his glasses or his scar-but I'm focusing on the positive.

When I learnt I would go to Hogwarts to study there, all I cared was seeing him, talking to him, befriending him and then stabbing him in the back, but I couldn't do that, because befriending him meant I'd have to ask Tom for permission someything I wasn't looking forward to doing.

But I would take my revenge one way or another, that was something I was certain about.

************************

It's my first day of school and I'm already about to be late for class-great first impression. Waking up early is probably the hardest realities you have to face when going to a school. Being homeschooled meant we could start any time we wanted to and considering Tom was busy during the mornings we did schoolwork in the afternoons so I usually woke up after twelve.

I walk inside my first class of the day less than a minute before professor Snape walks in. I sit next to Draco. "Where the hell were you?" He asks as Snape starts writing something on the board and instructs us to copy it. "I overslept." I reply whispering, as I finish copying it and look up trying to spot Potter only to see him sitting on the desk infront of me.

"You're going to brew this potion with the partners I assign for you, you have until the end of this class." I hear Snape saying. "The ingredients are the ones you copied the instructions are on your textbooks page fifteen. Mr.Malfoy with Mrs.Brown." He says. "Mrs.Granger with Mr.Zabini, Mr.Weasley with Mrs.Parkinson, Mr.Longbottom with Mr.Goyle, Mr.Potter with Mrs.Riddle." What? Me partners with Potter? This is exactly what I needed, a chance to tease him, bully him, make him feel miserable. Snape continues with some other names and tells us to go sit with our partners. Potter comes to my desk before I can go to his and Draco leaves.

I open my textbook not saying a word to him, he doesn't say anything either. We sit there in silence as I read the instructions and he does the same. Once I'm done I turn to look at him. "I'm guessing you have no idea how to brew the potion correctly so you'll go get the ingedients and I'll brew it." I say. He nods. "What do you want me to start with?" He asks. "Shrivelfigs, daisy roots and hairy caterpillars, then get the rest in any order you want, I don't care, but be quick." I reply and he walks towards the ingredent table as I fill my cauldron with water.

After a while I finish the potion and Snape walks towards us, he takes a look at it before looking at us both. "Good job, probably the best potion Mr.Pottter has ever brew, I'm assuming you did all the work Mrs.Riddle, don't try denying it just come to my desk after class I want to talk to you." He says and I simply nod as Potter rolls his eyes and mutters something under his breath as Snape walks away.

"He doesn't like you, does he?" I ask, not really expecting an answer. "How'd you guess?" He sarcastically replies. "I mean, I don't blame him, you're Harry Potter, the idiotic bastard who made the dark lord vanish magically." I say. "By the way you're talking about me I'm assuming you're not really fond of me either." He says. "How did you guess?" I smirk as he rolls his eyes. "Okay, got the message." He mutters before raising his hand.

"Yes Mr.Potter?" Snape looks annoyed. "Can I go back to my seat now?" He asks. "Why so you can distract Mr.Weasley and Mrs.Parkinson?" Snape scoffs. "No you can't, in fact I think sitting next to Mrs.Riddle is good for you. This will be your seat for the rest of the school year, same goes for you Mrs.Riddle." Snape says as I stare in shock for a few seconds before looking at my notes. "Bu-" Harry mutters. "No buts Mr.Potter." He stops him and walks towards another student.

Harry rolls his eyes before looking at his textbook. "Great." He mutters under his breath sarcastically. I roll my eyes as well, yes I want revenge but I don't want to sit with him for the rest of the school year, that's torture.

**********************

After the bell rings I watch as everyone leaves before getting up and walking towards Snape's desk.

"Alexa, glad to see you remembered I wanted to talk to you." He smiles. "What is it you want, Severus?" I ask not really interested in the conversation. "I wanted to have a talk with my goddaughter, that's all." He replies. "Well perhaps if you wanted to talk with your goddaughter you should let her sit with whoever she wants to sit with so she isn't mad at you." I say. "Don't take it personally, Alexa. It mostly has to do with Potter not being able to brew a single potion." He says. "And what am I supposed to do? Teach him? Last time I checked that was your job." I say. "I don't want you to teach him, I want you to not talk with him so he can focus." He explains. I roll my eyes. "Whatever, I've got class, bye." I say before walking away.

************************

"You really talked to Snape like that?" Blaise asks as I finish telling him and Draco what happened. "I already told you he's my godfather, I doupt he'd ever give me detention." I say. "Damn, you're lucky, I've been in this school for four years-almost-and I have more detentions from him than I can count." Blaise jokes. "Let's leave out the ammount of detentions you've gotten from other professors." Draco mutters. "We don't talk about that." Blaise chuckles.

Mattheo walks in the Great hall, surrounded by a bunch of friends. "What is he doing?" Blaise asks. "Something stupid, that's for certain." I mutter while keeping my eye on him. He walks towards the goblet of fire and puts a paper inside as his friends cheer along with the rest of the Slytherins, including Draco and Blaise. I roll my eyes and walk up to him.

"Mattheo, a word?" I ask. "Mate, do you even know her? Because if you don't I would love to take her out on a date, she's hot." One of his friends tries to whisper to him, something he clearly is not good at. "I suggest you back off." I hear Mattheo's best friend, Jonathan say. "Why?" He asks. "Because that's my little sister you're talking about." Mattheo answers, glaring at his friend.

"Come on Alexa." Mattheo grabs my hand getting me out of here. "Have I ever told you how disgusting your friends are?" I ask as he chuckles. "I'm aware, anyways what did you want to talk about? I'm a bit busy." He explains.

"What do you think you're doing putting your name in the bloody goblet?" I glare at him. "Why not, it'll be fun." He smiles. "No, it won't, if you get picked you will end up getting yourself killed." I scold him. "Have a little trust in me sister, I might even end up winning." He smirks. "You've got high hopes you know." I roll my eyes. "Yes, I'm aware." He smiles. I sigh. "Just, be careful, okay?" I look at him. He gives me a slight smile before pulling me in for a hug. I hug him back and let myself relax for a few seconds until I let go and he does too. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." He smiles and kisses my forehead.

"Come on, let's go back in the Great hall now. Your friends are probably looking for you." He says as I follow him back inside.

Draco and Blaise are sitting exactly where I left them, the only difference is that Pansy is with them. I walk up to them and smile. "Hello Pansy." I grin at her. "Alexa, hi." Pansy smiles looking a bit startled. Draco gives me a stern look and I simply smirk at him before sitting next to Pansy. "I heard your brother put his name in the goblet of fire." She says. "Yeah, sadly he did." I mutter.

"Why sadly? It's supposed to be an honor." Draco says. "It is not an honor, Draco. It's a stupid pride thing that will most likely get him killed." I say. "We're talking about Mattheo. He won't get himself killed." Draco assures me. 

"Yes he will, either killed or injured."
