Chapter 5

I woke up to Izzy screaming at me.

"Alexis Waters, get your butt up! We have classes today!"

"I'm up, gosh you don't have to yell." I mumbled. "Who peed in your cornflakes, Izzy?"

"Your lazy butt did! We have to go down to breakfast and then head to class," she said, getting irritated. "And besides, don't you want to see your boyfriend?"

"Ha ha, your very funny," I said sarcastically. "I don't have one, Izzy. You know that."

"Apparently not, you sure were getting close to Fred yesterday," she replied.

"Oh yeah, well the only reason I was talking to him was because you were distracted with James! Don't even get me started on how you were giving him googly eyes!" I yelled, hair turning red. How could she say that about me and Fred when she was the one to who plopped down in front of James?

"You know what?! Don't even talk to me, Alexis!" Izzy shouted.

"Fine! I don't even want to talk to you! You probably talk to behind my back anyways!" I yelled, and she walked out. I don't even know how this got started. All I did was wake up, and she went off on me about Fred. I guess I just lost my one and only best friend. My hair turned from red to blue in an instant. I got dressed and walked down to the Great Hall. I sat down at the Gryffindor table, and started to pick at a muffin.

"Good morning, Alexis. What's wrong with you and Izzy?" Fred asked, sliding in beside me.

"We got in a fight over I don't know what. She got mad at me this morning because I wouldn't get up when she told me to. Then she said something about me talking to you and not her and I snapped on her. I said maybe I wouldn't have to talk to you if she was making googly eyes at James. So now we're not talking," I said, hair still blue.

"Well, I'm sorry, but don't get mad at me here, I'm glad that she fancies James. If she didn't, I wouldn't have realized how good a friend you are," Fred said. I think he was just trying to make me feel better. Why else would he talk to me?

"Yeah sure, you're just trying to make me feel better. When do we get our schedule for our classes?" I asked.

"Well, actually right now. Good timing on that question," Fred laughed. Our Head Girl, Victoire Weasley, passed out our schedules.

I looked at mine, and saw that I had Potions first, with Professor Slughorn. Then I seen who I was having the class with, the Slytherins. "Fred, what's your first class?" I asked.

"Uh, I have Care of Magical Creatures with Hagrid, what do you have?" he said.

"Potions with Professor Slughorn, with the Slytherins," I replied. I haven't seen the Slytherins do anything bad yet, but a lot of people in Gryffindor hate Slytherins.

"Ooh, I'm sorry for you. Slytherins are bad people to mess with. Please, stay away from them, I don't want you to get hurt." Fred said.

"Why don't you want me to get hurt?" I asked. At thay comment my hair turned bright pink and my face heated up.

"Oh, um, well, you're my friend," he said, turning as red as his hair. I laughed. "What's so funny?" He asked, confused.

"You're kind of cute when you're embarrassed," I said and immediately covered my mouth with my hand. Why did I have to say what I think all the time!?! Fred smirked. I jumped up, "Well, I better be getting to Potions, bye!" I yelled and ran off.

I walked down to the dungeon classroom by myself. I didn't really have nobody to walk with. Then Albus ran up to me.

"Hey Alexis," he said.
