Alexa's POV
I was sitting in the Great Hall two months later. Harry sat next to me with Hermione and Ron on the other side of the table. We were chatting and laughing, ignoring the angry glares of the Slytherins. We had been hated by the entire of Slytherin House ever since the two hundred point loss they had suffered. They knew the blame really belonged on Pansy but didn't want to admit it, so they blamed me. I didn't really care, as long as they stayed away from me. They knew that I had the power to take even more points away and that Professor Snape was on my side. The only Slytherin who didn't despise me was Draco Malfoy. I didn't know why but he comforted me when my friends weren't around. I was grateful for his company and knew he would help me. I smiled at him when I caught his eye and he returned it, getting a hit on the back of the head from Pansy, causing him to land face-first in a bowl of mashed potatoes.
"Ten points from Slytherin," I whispered and me and my friends watched a few emeralds fly out of the Slytherin hourglass.
My friends snickered and the Slytherin table exploded. They jumped to their feet and started shouting at me. I was completely calm, only angering them more. The hall was silent and I stood up. I had grown more confident and was ready to take on the world (exaggeration). I faced the Slytherin table and merely smiled.
"If you keep shouting at me, I will take away the rest of your points. Be glad I didn't take away one hundred. I don't appreciate you smashing my friend's face into a bowl of mashed potatoes," I said calmly.
Everyone stared at me and then at the Slytherins. Pansy was red at all the attention and I smirked at her. She snapped. Reaching behind her, she picked up a bowl of hot soup and threw it at me. It hit me directly in the face and I cried out as the scalding liquid hit me. Severus and the other teachers jumped up and Severus strode angrily towards Pansy. She noticed this and ran. Severus flicked his wand and she slowed. Once he reached her, he grabbed her by the hair and dragged her out of the hall. I left for the common room to change and clean up.
I heard footsteps and turned to see Harry, Ron, and Hermione chasing me.
"Are you okay?" Harry asked, looking worried.
"Yeah, I'll be fine, Harry," I mumbled.
Hermione moved my hair out of my face and saw that my face was bright red because of the hot soup. I was crying as well, the tears making light lines on my face. She helped me to the Tower, the boys on either side of us, like bodyguards. I smiled when Harry took my hand. He looked angry and I knew he was going to try and get Pansy back.
"Don't," I whispered to him.
"How did you know what I was thinking?" Harry asked.
"I can hear your thoughts, if I wish," I replied simply. "Don't try to get her back. Let me do that. I'm taking the rest of the points from Slytherin right now."
Sure enough, we heard an uproar of anger and knew that the hall was erupting in chaos. Three fourths of the noise was cheers and whistles and the other one fourth was angry yells. We laughed until we heard running footsteps. We turned and saw the entirety of Slytherin House racing after us, looking ready to kill us. The other three Houses were trying to tackle them and we heard shouts of "Run!" and "Get out of here now! Get to your dorms!"
We took the advice and ran as fast as we could. We bolted down the corridors and came to a halt before the Fat Lady.
"Wattlebird!" Harry gasped.
She opened up and shut the second we were through, having spotted the Slytherins chasing us. We heard them slam into the portrait and heard angry shouts from all four Houses.
"Get away from our Tower, you horrible Slytherins!" I heard Fred and George shout.
"They took away the rest of our points! We're not going to stop until they are punished!" Marcus Flint responded.
"What's going on here?" I heard Severus ask.
"Alexa walked off and the other three followed," Pavarti Patil piped up.
"Yeah, she was angry and hurt and took the rest of the points from Slytherin," Angelina Johnson added.
"And then, the Slytherins started chasing her to hurt her even more. We were trying to stop them," Alicia Spinnet said.
"Slytherins are to return to their common room now," Severus said coldly.
I heard grumbles and then they moved off. The Gryffindors walked in and cheered me.
"I think a party is in order for this! All people are invited! Of course, only the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws. Gryffindors will obviously be here. We'll sneak some food in from the kitchens. Or we could tell the servants to come and set up a party while we finish our classes," George said.
I smiled and was lifted onto the shoulders of the crowd along with Harry, Ron and Hermione. We laughed and had a ton of fun (understatement).
That night, we came back to a massive party and saw everyone from all three Houses invited, were in the Room of Requirement. There was a ton of non-alcoholic drinks and snacks heaped on the counter. A large dance floor was spread out over most of the room and a large disco ball was hanging from the ceiling. I was having the most fun I've ever had in my life. I was happy and finally found my family. I wondered if Harry could come live at the house I had grown up in. I needed to write my parents and ask.
I slipped out of the party and went to the dorm. I got a piece of parchment and my favorite quill. Dipping it into the ink bottle on my desk, I began to write.
