Chapter 8

Alexis Point-of-View

After Fred went to get dressed for classes, Izzy came down the stairs. We walked to breakfast, not talking, but I could tell there was something wrong with her. She was acting like she didn't want to be around me, or she was sad. With Izzy, there was no telling.

"Izzy, what's wrong? There seems to be something bothering you." I asked.

"Hmm, oh nothing. I'm just thinking about James and his girlfriend. I seen them in the common room earlier. Anyways, what about Fred? How are we going to get him back?" Izzy said, smiling evilly. I swear, she could have been in Slytherin the way she thinks sometimes.

"Whoa, slow down tiger," I said, laughing. I told her about this morning and her mouth dropped open. "What?" I don't know why she reacted like that. Then I remembered my dream. I told Izzy and she still had a funny look on her face. See, she knew about Wood. After all, she is my best friend, and I tell her everything.

"Well, that interesting. You can't see what's happening?" Izzy asked.

"What are you talking about? What's happening, Isabel?!" I asked. We were walking into the Great Hall, and I noticed the Tina looked at me from her spot at the Slytherin table. She smirked, and my hair turned red. I clenched my fists and started towards the table.

"Hold your roll there!" Izzy said, pushing me back. I didn't want to hold back. I wanted to go over there and punch that bitch in her mouth. The last thing she needs to do is mess with me and my. . . friend? I don't know what to call Fred but that's not the point. She doesn't need to mess with me. Izzy pulled me back to the Gryffindor table and made sure I sat down.

"I'm going to get her back. I swear to Merlin, I'm going to get her back." I said through gritted teeth.

"Anyways, I believe you asked what I was talking about before other things got involved? Well, it's clear actually. Fred fancies you, Alexis! I can't believe you don't see it. The way I see it is he absolutely adores you," Izzy giggled. My hair turned from red to pink, and I felt my face heat up.

"Um, no. Izzy, he does not like me. I'm a year younger than him and besides, it's me! Yeah I like him, a lot, but there's no way he likes me back." I sighed. I picked at a muffin for a little bit, thinking about what Izzy said. Surely he doesn't like me, I'm too weird and geeky. Let's not even mention being unable to control my temper. Izzy piled her plate with eggs and bacon. She had a big appetite for such a small girl. "Wow Izzy, need a little plate with that bacon?" I laughed. Izzy gave me a look that clearly said 'Shut up'.

Izzy was halfway through her breakfast, and I was finishing my muffin, when somebody walked behind me. I tensed up and turned around, drawing my wand, only to find it was Fred. I immediately put my wand back in my pocket, and sat down.

"Ooh, somebody's a little tensed today." Fred laughed, sitting down next to me. I punched his arm and he fell over from laughing so hard.

"Ooh, looks like somebody's a little clumsy today." I said sarcastically. I looked over at Izzy and she gave me a know-it-all look. I stuck my tongue out at her a turned back around. I was not dealing with her telling me 'I told you so!' Besides, there's nothing she would be right about.

"So, are you going to actually go to your classes today?" Fred asked. He started to pick at some bacon, looking at me.

"Yeah, I am. I have to apologize to the Professors." I said. I was actually looking forward to my classes today. We were going to have a flying class after Transfiguration. Today, we had Charms, DADA, Transfiguration, Flying, and lastly Care of Magical Creatures.
